About our construction mastic in Dorking
On a new build, the mastic package is one of the last trades through each area. Mastic Doctor takes on mastic packages for main contractors and developers with projects in Dorking, sealing plot by plot or floor by floor as areas are released. If you have missed perimeter joints on a new elevation and bath and shower joints scraped during the final clean, we can help, on brick and block movement joints, cladding and panel joints and window and door perimeters alike. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, in Dorking it comes down to the same thing: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Developers and contractors working in Dorking want mastic that keeps pace with the build: sealing as scaffold comes down or as each floor is decorated, and snagging before handover. Tell us the programme and we’ll quote to it.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

Leave it or put it right?
Patching snags as they appear can feel quicker than a proper close-out. But one planned snagging pass through each area typically clears more for less disruption, and avoids repeated visits. Snagging can be priced as a separate stage. In a town such as Dorking, a lot of buildings are older and have been altered over time, and joints where old meets new tend to fail first. Renewing them before water gets in protects the fabric.
We don’t publish prices, since every building and every scope is different. For a fixed figure, call for a quote and we will price your job on its own details.

Our process
A typical day starts with protection: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. The work itself usually takes whatever the programme allows, since the work follows the trades as areas are released, and our waste is bagged and taken away as we go. For a town like Dorking, we try to group jobs for the same client into one visit. Tell us when the building is open and we’ll plan to suit.
- We walk the site or review drawings to understand the package.
- You receive a fixed quote covering scope, products and sequence.
- Site paperwork is confirmed and our CSCS-carded applicators are inducted.
- Sealing follows the programme as areas are released.
- Any frame gaps or issues outside our scope are flagged to the site team.
- The package is closed out, snags cleared and backed by our 12-month guarantee.
Getting the site ready
- Tell staff and tenants when we’ll be in
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings

Advice
Aftercare for building managers
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Keep finished joints away from paint, plaster and scrapers
- Brief the final clean team to avoid blades near sealant
- Plan external elevations with the weather in mind
- Don’t schedule sealing before decorators and flooring are done
A new structure shifts as it loses construction moisture. The right product in each joint copes with that, but caulk in a joint that moves more than expected may crack. We can advise if a joint needs a different product.
Oversized gaps are a problem better caught early. Filling a wide gap with sealant alone sets up a failure so packing or adjustment by the installer comes first. We flag them as soon as we see them.
What affects the price in Dorking
To price the job, we consider:
- Phasing around occupants
- How much existing material needs removing
- The product specified
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
Cost follows what’s involved: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a quote.
Sending details for a quote
For an accurate fixed quote, we need to understand the site. Send us:
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- Access details, including height
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints are often enough for a fixed quote. Where a site visit makes more sense, we’ll arrange one.
Sites and facades in and around Dorking
Dorking sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Winter mornings still bring frost and condensation on frames and panels, which is why external dates are agreed with the site manager. Central London is about 21 miles from Dorking. Building activity in the commuter belt runs from new flats near stations to business park refurbishments, which keeps mastic packages in demand.
New wings at hospitals like Dorking Community Hospital, less than half a mile south-west of Dorking, bring long runs of window and panel joints to seal. When units on a site such as Glebelands Centre Business Park, less than half a mile to the west of Dorking, are refurbished or reclad, the panel joints and window perimeters are part of the mastic package. Projects at schools like St Paul's CofE (Aided) Primary School work to term dates, so mastic is programmed tightly.

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
Redoing a failed joint usually costs more than getting it right at the outset, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.

Yes. The mastic is planned around your key stages. Let us know which documents your site asks for, and we’ll confirm them alongside the quote.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, and the certificate can go with your quote.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
It can, when the joints are outside. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
Do you guarantee new-build sealant work?
It carries a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. We carry five million pounds of public liability insurance.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and the quote will be based on it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
When can you be on site?
The office is staffed Monday to Friday, from 8am until 5pm. Let us know your site hours and access windows, and the work will be planned around them.

Fire-rated sealant where specified
Not every penetration suits a sealant. Collars, wraps, batts and boards are specified for other services. Tell us what records you need and we’ll confirm with the quote.
Snagging before handover
Snags normally come from damage by following trades, missed joints or poor earlier work. Snagging can be included or priced separately.
