How we handle construction mastic in Ford
On a new build, the mastic package is one of the last trades through each area, so it lands at exactly the point the programme is tightest. Mastic Doctor takes on mastic packages for main contractors and developers. We work on floor and skirting junctions, sanitary and kitchen joints and cladding and panel joints, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are early adhesion failures on new external joints and oversized or tapered gaps around new frames. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Ford tend to want the same three things: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
Sites around smaller places like Ford can be a fair drive from suppliers, so we come with everything the package needs. Drawings, photos and the programme let us give a fixed quote.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work in Buckinghamshire. Should something we installed fail, call 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we will come back to it.

What we’re called out for in Ford
Value-engineered products sometimes end up in the wrong joints. A sealant that isn’t right for the substrate or the movement will fail ahead of time. We use what’s specified, and any substitute goes to you for acceptance.
Clients normally get in touch after noticing one or more of the following:
- Frame gaps too wide for sealant alone
- Existing joints on a refurb that need cutting out and resealing
- Inconsistent sealant finishes from plot to plot
- External joints sealed in damp or cold conditions that are now failing
For a contractor working at a hospital such as St John's Hospital, which lies north of Ford, perimeter and facade sealing is planned around patients and deliveries.

When it isn’t the sealant
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It isn’t the answer for:
- Approving fire stopping as compliant
- Joints damaged after sign-off by following trades
- Frame gaps too wide for sealant, which the installer needs to correct
If in doubt, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll say what we think.

Mastic packages on Ford sites
Central London is about 39 miles from Ford. Commuter-belt towns tend to see a steady flow of new flats, offices and commercial schemes, so mastic packages have to keep pace with busy programmes. Ford sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Even so, frost and condensation on steel and glass are common on winter mornings, so external mastic is timed for workable conditions and agreed with the site manager.
For contractors refurbishing units at places like Haddenham Industrial Park, which lies west of Ford, the mastic covers cladding panels, roller-door and window perimeters. University estates such as University Campus Aylesbury Vale, 3.9 miles north-east of Ford, tend to have a rolling programme of new buildings and refurbishments, each with window perimeters and facade joints to seal.
Ford is about 4 miles south-west of Aylesbury, in Buckinghamshire. Our applicators travel to Ford for work on mastic packages. Ford is one of 308 places we cover in Buckinghamshire for mastic packages. We also cover Oxford, some 15 miles away.

Questions about Ford
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like St John's Hospital?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Can work at a site such as University Campus Aylesbury Vale fit around teaching?
Yes, holiday working periods are the norm on campus jobs. Let us know which documents your site asks for, and we’ll confirm them alongside the quote.
Is the mastic package guaranteed?
Each package is signed off with a 12-month workmanship guarantee. The guarantee covers our work, not later damage by other trades.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance, and we raise anything unclear before work begins.
How long does a typical visit take?
The duration is planned around your programme and the access we are given. You’ll have an expected duration with the quote.
What do you charge?
Each job is quoted on its own details. To get one, ring 01277 525 020 or email the details over.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
Aftercare for building managers
Once the work is signed off, these steps help:
- Don’t force external sealing on a damp or frosty day
- Get the mastic subcontractor involved early in the programme
- Record the products used in the O&M file
- Keep finished joints away from paint, plaster and scrapers
Once an area is sealed, protect it from following trades. New beads should be left to cure before cleaning or decorating nearby; we confirm the time for each product.
External joints sealed in poor weather are a common cause of early failure. Holding off until conditions suit avoids callbacks.

What affects the price in Ford
We price every job individually. The things that drive the figure:
- How much there is to seal
- The size and state of each joint
- Any access equipment needed
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
The work involved drives the cost: 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.
What we need to price the job
However big the job, the same details help:
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- Clear photos of the problem areas
- Any dates the work must fit around
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photos and a few notes.
What the job involves on each surface
Window and door perimeters
Internal perimeters are normally sealed with a paintable product where decorating follows. We follow what’s specified.
Kitchens and utility areas
On commercial kitchen fit-outs, hygienic sealants are often specified. Joints are sealed smooth so they’re easy to clean.
