General trades versus a specialist
Paperwork matters too. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
Construction mastic in Cutteslowe, done properly
On a new build, the mastic package is one of the last trades through each area, which puts it right on the critical path. Mastic Doctor takes on mastic packages for main contractors and developers on schemes in Cutteslowe, following the trades through the building as rooms and elevations become ready. We work on sanitary and kitchen joints, window and door perimeters and brick and block movement joints, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are frame perimeters left unsealed or poorly sealed and failed sealant in an existing building being refurbished. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, in Cutteslowe it comes down to the same thing: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Conversions around smaller places like Cutteslowe often join new frames to old masonry or timber, and the sealant at those junctions has to cope with two materials that move differently.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we are clear about what is covered before work starts.

When it isn’t the sealant
Honesty saves time and money. New sealant won’t cure:
- Faulty frames rather than failed sealant
- Damage to finishes by other trades after we have sealed
- Approving fire stopping as compliant
Not sure which it is? You can phone 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

How the quote is worked out
The price varies from site to site. It mainly depends on:
- How much existing material needs removing
- The size and state of each joint
- How accessible the joints are
- Location, for remote and island sites
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.
What to include in your enquiry
There’s no need for a formal survey. These details are enough to start:
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- The product your specification calls for
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- When you need the work done
Every quote starts with the facts: what’s there, how much of it, how we reach it and what’s specified. Send what you have, and we’ll arrange a site visit if anything is unclear.
Surface by surface
Fire-rated sealant where specified
Where the specification calls for fire-rated or intumescent sealant around service penetrations or linear gaps, we install it to the manufacturer’s tested detail. Fire stopping design belongs to the designer and building control; we work to the specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance.
Internal decorators’ caulk
Caulk is easy to apply badly. A neat, consistent caulk line makes the decorators’ job quicker.
FAQs: Cutteslowe
Could you schedule work at a campus like University Field Station for the vacation?
Yes. We plan campus work around teaching, exams and residence turnarounds. Any paperwork you need, from RAMS to our insurance certificate and CSCS details, is confirmed with the quote.
Is Cutteslowe off your patch?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Do you guarantee new-build sealant work?
Each package is backed by a 12-month guarantee. We are also fully insured for public liability.
How many days will you need on site?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. We will give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and the quote will be based on it.
Can you send site paperwork?
Let us know which documents the site needs, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm them with the quote.

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.
Why it’s worth doing now in Cutteslowe
It helps to bring the mastic subcontractor in before the package is urgent. We can check joint widths, flag frames with gaps that won’t seal and confirm products against the specification. Called in at the end, the same issues surface during handover. In a smaller place such as Cutteslowe, getting a contractor back for a second visit takes time, so we’d suggest renewing all the joints that are going, not just the worst.
There’s no price list, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. For a fixed figure, call for a quote.
