How we handle construction mastic in Great Shoddesden
Mastic tends to be one of the final packages before handover. Mastic Doctor takes on mastic packages for main contractors and developers, sealing plot by plot or floor by floor as areas are released. If you’re dealing with external joints sealed in damp or cold conditions that are now failing and internal caulk splitting as the building dries out, we can help. Whoever orders the work in Great Shoddesden, the brief is normally the same: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
For a site near Great Shoddesden, the mastic visit is planned so the right sealants, primers and backing rod are on hand, timed to the stage the job has reached. Send drawings or photographs and the programme and we’ll quote to suit.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: twelve months on the work we carried out. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

When to call us in Great Shoddesden
Shrinkage and settlement in the first months put new joints under strain. Materials lose construction moisture and shrink. Choosing the right product for each joint reduces that.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Missed perimeter joints on a new elevation
- Inconsistent sealant finishes from plot to plot
- Internal caulk splitting as the building dries out
- Mastic snags holding up handover
Recladding or extending a unit at a site like Ludgershall Business Park, 1 mile north-west of Great Shoddesden, brings panel joints and frame perimeters into the programme.

Common questions from Great Shoddesden clients
Is Great Shoddesden off your patch?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Andover War Memorial Hospital?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
How do you choose the sealant?
The specification comes first, if there is one. Without one, the joint decides: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
When is resealing likely to be due?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
When can the area be used after sealing?
Curing time varies by product, and we confirm it on the day, and flag anything to keep off until it has cured.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No, never. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so it all comes out first.
When can you be on site?
The office is staffed Monday to Friday, from 8am until 5pm. Tell us your site hours and access windows and the work will be fitted around them.

What else we do in Great Shoddesden
Our process
On arrival, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Everything around the joints gets protected before any cutting starts, and the work typically takes anything from a day of snagging to several weeks of plot-by-plot sealing on a phased scheme. For work around Great Shoddesden, we aim to finish in one visit, so we ask for photographs and rough sizes first. That way the right products come on the day.
- First we take quantities off the drawings and read through the specification.
- We return a fixed quote that ties the mastic package to your programme.
- You tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we confirm it with the quote.
- Work follows the programme, area by area, as rooms and elevations become ready.
- Joints are cleaned, primed where the maker requires it, backed and sealed to the specification.
- Before handover, snags are dealt with and the package is signed off under our 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Move anything stored against the joints
Request a quote
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photographs and a few notes.

For managing agents and facilities managers
Agents, factors and owners’ representatives all follow the same route: send the details, accept a fixed quote, and we carry out and guarantee the work. We can agree access arrangements and keyholder contacts beforehand.
FMs need a contractor who is easy to get on site. Let us know the documents you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm them with the quote.
Leave it or put it right?
A quick bead over a damaged joint can get an area past inspection, but it won’t last. New sealant laid on old or dirty sealant has nothing to bond to, and the defect comes back after handover. We cut out and redo the joint properly. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Great Shoddesden. Send photographs of each area and we will quote for the lot.
The product called for affects the cost, as does the preparation each joint needs, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.

Contractors’ notes for Great Shoddesden
At about 68 miles from central London, Great Shoddesden is within reach of the capital. Towns within reach of London tend to keep building, from flats to offices and schools, and each scheme needs its mastic sealed to programme. Great Shoddesden is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. Still, external mastic needs dry faces within the maker’s temperature limits, which isn’t every day, so external mastic is timed for workable conditions and agreed with the site manager.
On a healthcare site such as Andover War Memorial Hospital, which lies east of Great Shoddesden, new blocks and refurbishments go on while the hospital keeps running, so mastic work is sequenced carefully. School extensions, at buildings such as Ludgershall Castle Primary School, normally run to the summer holidays, mastic included.

Surface by surface
Snagging before handover
Snags normally come from damage by following trades, missed joints or poor earlier work. We price snagging as part of the package or as a separate visit.
Fire-rated sealant where specified
Fire-rated sealant forms part of some packages, installed to the product’s tested detail where it is specified. The design and sign-off of fire stopping sit with the designer, principal designer or fire engineer and we install what’s specified.
What we can’t put right
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Faulty frames rather than failed sealant
- Joint design decisions that belong to the architect or engineer
- Frames fitted out of tolerance
If you’re not sure, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
