Diagnose, treat, sign off
On arrival, we sign in, go through any site induction and check how permits are handled. Everything around the joints gets protected before anything is cut or cleaned, with the work itself normally taking whatever the programme allows, since the work follows the trades as areas are released. Smaller jobs around Eastwick can be grouped with others nearby. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.
- We price from the drawings, specification and programme you send.
- We return a fixed quote that ties the mastic package to your programme.

- Before handover, snags are dealt with and the package is signed off under our 12-month guarantee.

Advice
How we handle construction mastic in Eastwick
External mastic depends on the weather in a way most internal trades don’t. Cold or damp mornings, frost and condensation on frames can all hold external sealing up so it helps to sequence elevations with some flexibility. Internal areas can usually carry on while the outside waits. If you’re dealing with existing joints on a refurb that need cutting out and resealing and a mastic package split between trades with no clear owner, we can put it right, whatever the surface. Whoever orders the work in Eastwick, the brief is normally the same: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
Conversions of older rural buildings near smaller places such as Eastwick bring stone, flint, brick and timber up against new glazing. Those joints need a sealant that suits an uneven, sometimes porous surface, and often a colour chosen for the building.
We stand by our work: 12 months, guaranteed. That covers our preparation and application, and if something we did falls short, we return to it.

Do you need construction mastic in Eastwick?
Three-sided adhesion is a frequent fault on new work. Fixed to three faces, the sealant rips the first time the joint opens, so depth is controlled with backing rod or bond-breaker tape.
Clients usually get in touch after noticing one or more of the following:
- Caulk cracking where joints are moving more than expected
- Old sealant on a refurbishment that needs stripping before new work
- Snag items on joints that need redoing before handover
- Sealant knocked or painted over by other trades
For contractors refurbishing units at places like Harlow Enterprise Centre (under half a mile south-east of Eastwick), the mastic covers cladding panels, roller-door and window perimeters.
What your quote should include
- Proof of insurance
- What site paperwork they can supply
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
- How joint depth will be controlled
What happens if it’s left?
Leaving mastic to whichever trade is fitting the element can look cheaper on paper. In practice it often means different standards, gaps in responsibility and snags nobody owns. One mastic subcontractor for the lot keeps it simple. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Eastwick, rather than one at a time. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
No two sites price the same: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.

Aftercare for building managers
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Don’t schedule sealing before decorators and flooring are done
- Keep product details for future maintenance
- Check frame gaps are within the sealant’s range before sealing
- Stick to the specified sealant rather than a generic substitute
After we have sealed an area, it helps to keep other trades from damaging the joints. New beads should be left to cure before cleaning or decorating nearby.
Leaving the mastic snag list to the end squeezes everyone. A planned close-out through each area as it completes keeps the list short, and avoids a rush.
Contractors’ notes for Eastwick
There are a number of hotels within about 2 miles of Eastwick. Hotel refurbishments often run to tight programmes between busy periods, and perimeter and sanitary sealant has to keep up. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Winter mornings still bring frost and condensation on frames and panels, so we time external mastic for dry faces and agree it with the site team.
School extensions, at buildings such as Pemberley Academy, usually run to the summer holidays, mastic included. When a college such as Harlow College, 1.2 miles south-east of Eastwick, builds or refurbishes, the mastic package typically has to fit around students and staff.

Questions about Eastwick
Will you plan work around the academic year at somewhere like Harlow College?
Yes. Education sites normally want the work in vacations or in phases during term, and we plan to suit. Any paperwork you need, from RAMS to our insurance certificate and CSCS details, is confirmed with the quote.
Is a smaller place like Eastwick outside your area?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
How do we ask for a quote?
The quote form is the simplest route, though you can also call the office on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form. Photos, drawings or a joint schedule help us quote quickly.
How soon can the area be used again?
Curing time varies by product, and we confirm it on the day, and sign any area that should be left alone.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
How do you work with the site programme?
Working to your programme, we seal each area as it’s handed over. The sequence is settled with your site team and updated as the programme moves.
What will the job cost?
There isn’t a price list, because every site is different. With photos or drawings, we can give you a fixed quote.
General trades versus a specialist
There’s also the paperwork. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and we’ll confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
Certain joints really need a specialist: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
