About our construction mastic in Durley Street
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. We work on floor and skirting junctions, internal decorators’ caulk and window and door perimeters, and what we’re called in for most is mastic snags holding up handover and inconsistent sealant finishes from plot to plot. For commercial sealant work in Durley Street, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
For a site near Durley Street, the mastic visit is planned so the right sealants, primers and backing rod are on hand. Send drawings or photos and the programme and we will quote to suit.
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 spell out the cover before we begin.

After the work
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Brief following trades on areas that have been sealed
- Flag uneven or tapered frame gaps early
- Bring the mastic contractor in after the last trades are through
- Plan external elevations with the weather in mind
A new structure shifts as it loses construction moisture. The right product in each joint copes with that. We can advise if a joint needs a different product.
Frames with gaps too wide for sealant need sorting before the mastic goes on. Filling a wide gap with sealant alone sets up a failure. We raise them during our first walk of the area.
What happens if it’s left?
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. Converted and older buildings near places like Durley Street tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. A sealant with the right movement capability, correctly sized, lasts far better.
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote, and you will have a fixed figure to work with.

Questions about Durley Street
Is Durley Street too far out for you?
Not at all. Durley Street is within our area. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Moorgreen Hospital?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Can you send site paperwork?
Requirements differ from site to site, so list what you need, whether RAMS, insurance or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm with the quote.
What will the job cost?
There isn’t a price list, as every site differs. Send photographs or drawings and we’ll price it at a fixed figure.
Do you install fire-rated sealant as part of a package?
Where the specification calls for fire-rated or intumescent sealant around service penetrations or linear gaps, we install it to the manufacturer’s tested details. The design and sign-off belong to the designer, fire engineer or building control.
Do you take on multi-site work?
Yes. A group of buildings can go on one quote, with one point of contact across South East England, Greater London and Scotland.
Do you offer coloured sealant?
That depends on the product specified. Some ranges are wide, others limited, so we’ll confirm the colours available for the specified product with the quote.
Doing it in-house
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class.
Some joints are best left to specialists: for instance fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong usually costs more in the end than doing them right.
Building and refurbishing in Durley Street
Durley Street is about 62 miles from central London. Commuter-belt towns tend to see a steady flow of new flats, offices and commercial schemes, so mastic packages have to keep pace with busy programmes. Durley Street is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. Even so, frost and condensation on steel and glass are common on winter mornings, so we time external mastic for dry faces and agree it with the site team.
For contractors refurbishing units at places like Deer Park Farm Industrial Estate, which lies west of Durley Street, the mastic covers cladding panels, roller-door and window perimeters. Projects at schools like Wyvern Technology College work to term dates, so mastic is programmed tightly. On a healthcare site such as Moorgreen Hospital, which lies south-west of Durley Street, new blocks and refurbishments go on while the hospital keeps running, so mastic work is sequenced carefully.

How the job changes by surface
Internal decorators’ caulk
Caulk is easy to apply badly. Done properly, it saves decorators time and gives a clean line.
External facade and movement joints
External movement joints often need primer, depending on the substrate. We prime where the manufacturer specifies, and seal only with a dry joint inside the product’s temperature range.
