About our construction mastic in East Ilsley
Mastic Doctor has been a subcontractor on construction projects for over 20 years. We price from drawings and the specification, agree the sequence with the site team and seal as areas are released. For construction mastic on a scheme in East Ilsley, send drawings through our quote form, or phone or email us to talk it through. Most enquiries involve sealant knocked or painted over by other trades and different trades sealing to different standards, across cladding and panel joints, sanitary and kitchen joints and window and door perimeters. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, in East Ilsley it comes down to the same thing: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Construction in and around smaller places such as East Ilsley is often barn conversions, small groups of houses or extensions to halls and schools. Perimeters, facade joints and internal sealant all need doing properly, however small the scheme.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we are upfront about that.

Honest limits
Part of a good diagnosis is knowing where sealant stops. We’ll tell you if the real problem is one of these:
- Glazing units that are cracked or misted
- Designing joint widths or choosing the specification (that sits with the designer)
- Frame gaps too wide for sealant, which the installer needs to correct
If in doubt, phone 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we will say what we think before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Window and door perimeters
- Internal decorators’ caulk
- Cladding and panel joints
- Floor and skirting junctions
- Brick and block movement joints
- Sanitary and kitchen joints
What else we do in East Ilsley
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Redoing a failed joint normally costs more than getting it right at the outset, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
Certain joints really need a specialist: for example 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.
What we’re called out for in East Ilsley
On a live site, contamination is the biggest threat to a new joint. Dust, film adhesive, damp and grease on the joint faces prevent a proper bond.
Most enquiries start with one or more of the following:
- Frame perimeters left unsealed or poorly sealed
- New external sealant already peeling away
- Different trades sealing to different standards
- Caulk cracking where joints are moving more than expected
For contractors at a school such as The Ilsleys Primary School, sealing has to be finished before term starts.
