About our construction mastic in Faulkbourne
Mastic Doctor has been a subcontractor on construction projects for over 20 years. Quantities come off the drawings, the sequence is agreed with the site manager and the work follows the trades. To price a package in Faulkbourne, send drawings and the specification through our quote form. If you’re dealing with failed sealant in an existing building being refurbished and bath and shower joints scraped during the final clean, we can help, on brick and block movement joints, window and door perimeters and sanitary and kitchen joints alike. Most enquiries from Faulkbourne start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Construction in and around smaller places such as Faulkbourne 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.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

Why it’s worth doing now in Faulkbourne
Patching snags as they appear can feel quicker than a proper close-out. But one planned snagging pass through each area usually clears more for less disruption, and avoids repeated visits. We can run snagging as its own phase before handover. For buildings around smaller places like Faulkbourne, water damage can go unnoticed for longer, especially where a building isn’t used daily, so a failed joint can leak for a while before anyone sees it. Resealing early avoids that.
The work involved drives the cost: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll explain how it’s made up.

What sealant work can’t fix
Honesty saves time and money. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- Defective windows, doors or glazing units (the supplier or installer’s job)
- Joints damaged after sign-off by following trades
- Deciding which fire-stopping product a penetration needs
If in doubt, phone 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think.

- Any access equipment needed
- The product specified
- The size and state of each joint
- Travel to remote or island sites
What a job costs comes down to the quantity of joints, how much old material needs removing and how the joints are reached. Call for a quote once you have the details.
Sending details for a quote
A good diagnosis starts with the right details. Tell us:
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- The postcode of the building
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- What the building is and how it’s used
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints and a fixed quote comes back to you. If the job needs a look first, we will arrange a site visit.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
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.
The visible bead is only part of the job. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are where general trades tend to cut corners.
Facades, frames and programmes in Faulkbourne
Faulkbourne is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. 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. Faulkbourne is about 37 miles from central London. Commuter-belt towns tend to see a steady flow of new flats, offices and commercial schemes, and main contractors there need mastic that keeps to the programme.
Projects at schools like New Rickstones Academy work to term dates, so mastic is programmed tightly. Hospital estates such as William Julien Courtauld Hospital (to the north-west of Faulkbourne) 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. Units on estates such as Lanham Business Park (2.8 miles north of Faulkbourne) tend to be reclad and refitted as tenants change, and each job leaves cladding and perimeter joints to seal.
Faulkbourne is about 2 miles north-west of Witham, in Essex. Businesses, contractors and managing agents in Faulkbourne use us for work on mastic packages, as part of our coverage of Essex.

When we get to site, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before anything is cut or cleaned, and the work usually takes a day or two on a small fit-out and several weeks on a large multi-storey package.

Advice
Questions about Faulkbourne
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as William Julien Courtauld Hospital?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Do you cover business parks and estates near Faulkbourne, such as Lanham Business Park?
Yes. We cover Faulkbourne and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Lanham Business Park. A few photos and the unit address let us price the work.
What’s the quickest route to a quote?
You can use the quote form on this site; alternatively, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form. Include photographs or drawings if you have them.
Can you clear a mastic snag list before handover?
Yes, we can. Send the snag list or photographs and we’ll price it, with the work timed to your handover date.
What happens if the weather stops external sealing?
Outside, the joint has to be dry and the temperature within the product’s limits. Frosty or damp mornings can hold up external sealing, so internal areas are often done on those days.
Is Faulkbourne in your area?
Yes. Sites across Faulkbourne are covered.
How long before the joints can be used?
That comes down to the sealant and the temperature. Some take light use quickly, others need longer to cure, so we will confirm the curing time on the day.
Aftercare for building managers
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. Our advice:
- Release areas for mastic once other trades have finished in them
- Use the product the specification names
- Record the products used in the O&M file
- Brief following trades on areas that have been sealed
At handover, keep the product details with the O&M information. That helps the building owner maintain the joints later. We can confirm the handover information you need when we quote.
Leaving the mastic snag list to the end squeezes everyone. Clearing snags area by area spreads the work out.
