Doing it in-house
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint, which is what makes a joint last.
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. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
Construction mastic in Folly Town, done properly
Mastic tends to be one of the final packages before handover. Mastic Doctor takes on mastic packages for main contractors and developers with projects in Folly Town. If you have cracks opening in caulked internal joints and failed sealant in an existing building being refurbished, we can help, on floor and skirting junctions, brick and block movement joints and window and door perimeters alike. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, the work in Folly Town is the same: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
For a site near Folly Town, the mastic visit is planned so the right sealants, primers and backing rod are on hand. Send drawings or photographs and the programme and we will quote to suit.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work. Should something we installed fail, call the office on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll come back to it.

What the job involves on each surface
Fire-rated sealant where specified
Fire-rated sealant is one type of fire-stopping product. Collars, wraps, batts and boards are specified for other services. Record requirements are agreed with the quote.
Internal decorators’ caulk
Acrylic caulk fills internal gaps around trims, boards and frames ahead of decorating. It’s paintable and suits gaps that don’t move, and we use a flexible sealant where there’s movement.
Questions we are asked in Folly Town
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as William Harvey Hospital?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Can you keep pace with our programme in Folly Town?
Yes. The mastic is planned around your key stages. Any paperwork you need, from RAMS to our insurance certificate and CSCS details, is confirmed with the quote.
How do you choose the sealant?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
How do you work with the site programme?
We seal plot by plot or floor by floor as areas are released. The sequence is settled with your site team.
How long before the joints can be used?
The product and site conditions decide that. Some take light use quickly, others need longer to cure, and we confirm it before leaving site.
Do you seal on top of existing 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.
Can you clear a mastic snag list before handover?
Yes, we can. Share the list and photographs, and a fixed quote follows, then clear it to your programme.
Our process
Occupied buildings need a little choreography. The work area is signed and kept contained, with routes through the building left open and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use.

- Drawings, specification and programme come to us.
- We take off quantities and return a fixed quote.
- The sequence is agreed with the site manager.
- Each area is sealed when it’s released.
- Every joint is cleaned, set to depth and sealed with the specified product.
- Snags are cleared and the package signed off with our 12-month guarantee.
What we need from you
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
Getting a fixed quote
The quickest route to a quote is a few photos and the site postcode. Send them through the quote form, or speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email the details over to discuss it first.
Advice
Work for main contractors and building owners
Facilities managers want contractors who arrive with the paperwork sorted. Tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we will confirm with the quote.
Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor, on new build and refurbishment alike. We work to your programme, your specification and your site rules, with CSCS-carded applicators on site.
When something else is needed
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It won’t put right:
- Approving fire stopping as compliant
- Oversized gaps that need packing or adjustment by others
- Faulty frames rather than failed sealant
If in doubt, ring 01277 525 020 or email us and we will say what we think before you book.

New build and refits around Folly Town
Folly Town is about 52 miles from central London. Building activity in the commuter belt runs from new flats near stations to business park refurbishments, so mastic packages have to keep pace with busy programmes. Folly Town 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.
Projects at schools like Wye School work to term dates, so mastic is programmed tightly. For a contractor working at a hospital such as William Harvey Hospital, which lies south-west of Folly Town, perimeter and facade sealing is planned around patients and deliveries.
