Construction mastic in Colliers Wood
Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
Why it’s worth doing now in Colliers Wood
Refurbishments sometimes budget for new windows when the frames are sound and only the seal has failed. If the frame is in good order, cutting out and resealing the perimeter can be all it needs and that’s a far smaller job. If the frame is life-expired, we will tell you. In Colliers Wood, each extra visit means more notices, permits and disruption, so a proper job first time, with the old sealant fully removed, is worth it.
The product called for affects the cost, and so does the preparation. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
What you get with us
- Our applicators hold CSCS cards
- Failed material removed, not covered up
- Colours chosen to suit frames, cladding or finishes where possible
- A fixed quote before work starts

Construction mastic in Colliers Wood, done properly
External mastic depends on the weather in a way most internal trades don’t. Each sealant has a temperature range, and damp, frost or condensation on frames stops work. Internal sealing often fills those days. We work on brick and block movement joints, sanitary and kitchen joints and window and door perimeters, and what we are called in for most is missed perimeter joints on a new elevation and old sealant on a refurbishment that needs stripping before new work. Searching for sealant specialists in Colliers Wood? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005.

Different surfaces, different methods
Bathrooms, en suites and washrooms
Sanitary joints around baths, showers, basins and WCs need anti-mould sanitary silicone. Each joint is prepared, sealed and finished with a neat tooled line and baths are loaded where appropriate before sealing.
External facade and movement joints
Brickwork, blockwork and panel movement joints need a sealant with the right movement capability. We set the depth with backing rod to avoid three-sided adhesion.
Questions we are asked in Colliers Wood
Do you work in London buildings with loading restrictions?
Yes. Booked loading bays, goods lifts and permit-to-work systems are normal for London jobs. Say when the building is occupied and when it’s quiet, and we’ll plan accordingly. All of Greater London is inside the ULEZ, and our planning allows for it
Is hospital work, at somewhere like St George's Hospital, something you do?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Can fire-rated sealing at service penetrations be included?
Where it’s specified, yes to the tested detail. If the detail calls for collars, wraps or batts instead, we’ll tell you.
Do you take on small jobs?
Single areas, one-off repairs and whole buildings are all quoted the same way: details, then a fixed price, then sealing, then a 12-month guarantee.
Do you do internal caulk as well as external mastic?
The scope comes from the specification and drawings, but most packages include frame perimeters, sanitary and kitchen joints, caulking where specified and a snagging pass.
Will you come and look before quoting?
That depends on the size and complexity of the job. Straightforward work can often be priced from photographs and measurements, while larger or less clear jobs get a site visit first.
When can you be on site?
Mention the site’s hours and access windows in your enquiry, and we’ll schedule the work to suit. Our office runs Monday to Friday, 8am until 5pm.

How a job runs
We follow your site rules from the start: signing in, inductions and any permit to work. Once we’re cleared to begin, the joints are worked through in the order agreed with your site contact. Most London premises stay occupied while we are on site, so we agree zones and timings with the building or facilities manager. Areas are handed back as each section is finished.
- First we take quantities off the drawings and read through the specification.
- A fixed quote sets out the scope, the products and the sequence.
- You tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we confirm it with the quote.
- Work follows the programme, area by area, as rooms and elevations become ready.
- Each joint is prepared, backed to depth and sealed in the product the specification names.
- We close out snagging and hand over with a 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings

Advice
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. The usual problems come from preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
What we can’t put right
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. It won’t fix:
- Designing joint widths or choosing the specification (that sits with the designer)
- Deciding which fire-stopping product a penetration needs
- Frame gaps too wide for sealant, which the installer needs to correct
If in doubt, call 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we’ll say what we think.
