Why it’s worth doing now in East Tilbury
A cheaper sealant can look like an easy saving on a large package. A failed joint in the defects period costs far more than the product difference and external joints are where it shows first. Where an alternative is genuinely suitable, we will say so. A failed joint lets water into a building whatever its size. Early resealing avoids the damage that follows a leak.
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well.

About our construction mastic in East Tilbury
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. To price a package in East Tilbury, send drawings and the specification through our quote form. If you have a mastic package split between trades with no clear owner and frame perimeters left unsealed or poorly sealed, we can put it right, whatever the surface. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, the work in East Tilbury is the same: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
In a smaller place such as East Tilbury, construction tends to mean small housing schemes, conversions and extensions to community buildings. Even a small site needs its perimeter and facade joints sized, backed and sealed properly.

When it isn’t the sealant
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Joint design decisions that belong to the architect or engineer
- Approving fire stopping as compliant
- Frame gaps too wide for sealant, which the installer needs to correct
If in doubt, phone 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will say what we think before you book.

What sets the cost
A fixed quote reflects the actual work. It takes account of:
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Travel to remote or island sites
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
Cost follows what’s involved: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll explain how it’s made up.
Details that help us quote
Diagnosis starts before we arrive. Tell us:
- Your programme or deadline
- What the building is and how it’s used
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so you know the figure before anyone is on site. To ask for one, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.
Surface by surface
Fire-rated sealant where specified
Not every penetration suits a sealant. Collars, wraps, batts and boards are specified for other services. Record requirements are agreed with the quote.
External facade and movement joints
External movement joints often need primer, depending on the substrate. Primer goes on where the sealant maker calls for it and work only when conditions suit.
Building and refurbishing in East Tilbury
The sea is no more than about 1 mile from East Tilbury. Schemes this close to the sea see their facade joints tested by wind and rain from the day they’re sealed, so joint design, primers and product choice deserve extra care. Rainfall across the South East, East Tilbury included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Still, external mastic needs dry faces within the maker’s temperature limits, which isn’t every day, so the external programme keeps a little slack.
When a school such as East Tilbury Primary School is extended or refurbished, the mastic package is often squeezed into the holidays. When units on a site such as Thames Industrial Park, less than half a mile south-west of East Tilbury, are refurbished or reclad, the panel joints and window perimeters are part of the mastic package. Hospital estates such as Orsett Hospital, 3 miles to the north-west of East Tilbury, tend to grow and change in phases, often next to occupied wards, so facade and perimeter sealing has to fit the estates team’s plan.

East Tilbury: questions and answers
Can you work around term dates at a campus such as USP College?
Yes. Tell us the term dates, vacation periods and access windows, and we will plan the work around them. Let us know which documents your site asks for, and we’ll confirm them alongside the quote.
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Orsett Hospital, something you do?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Do you take on multi-site work?
Yes. Multi-site work and planned programmes are a core part of the service, with each site phased to suit its occupants.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
Do you guarantee new-build sealant work?
Each package is backed by a 12-month guarantee. We are also fully insured for public liability.
What’s the quickest route to a quote?
It works in four steps: send details, receive a fixed quote, we carry out the work, and it’s guaranteed. The first step only needs photos and a postcode.
Can the building stay open while you work?
Yes, as long as we plan it. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them.
