Share the site address and what’s failing, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote or arrange a visit.
Why deal with it now?
Sealing over damaged or contaminated new joints might save a day, but it won’t last. Sealant can’t grip a contaminated or existing bead. Damaged joints are removed and resealed from clean faces. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Hare Hatch, rather than one at a time. Send photographs of each area and we will quote for the lot.
The price depends on the quantity of joints, what has to come out first and how the joints are reached. Call for a fixed quote once you have the details.

About our construction mastic in Hare Hatch
Mastic tends to be one of the final packages before handover, which puts it right on the critical path. Mastic Doctor takes on mastic packages for main contractors and developers on schemes in Hare Hatch. We work on floor and skirting junctions, internal decorators’ caulk and brick and block movement joints, and what we’re called in for most is mastic snags holding up handover and a mastic package split between trades with no clear owner. For commercial sealant work in Hare Hatch, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
Construction in and around smaller places such as Hare Hatch 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.
Every job is signed off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

From enquiry to sign-off
Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. On site, the work usually takes whatever the programme allows, since the work follows the trades as areas are released, and our waste is bagged and taken away as we go. Jobs in and around smaller places like Hare Hatch are typically planned as a single visit, so we ask for photos and rough sizes first. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- We walk the site or review drawings to understand the package.
- You receive a fixed quote covering scope, products and sequence.
- Paperwork is agreed and applicators are inducted on site.
- Sealing follows the programme as areas are released.
- Any frame gaps or issues outside our scope are flagged to the site team.
- The package is closed out, snags cleared and backed by our 12-month guarantee.
Preparing the site
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Point out parking and an unloading spot

Advice
Looking after the joints
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Plan external elevations with the weather in mind
- Stick to the specified sealant rather than a generic substitute
- Bring the mastic contractor in after the last trades are through
- Ask for joint and product checks before the package is urgent
Brief the sparkle clean so they don’t scrape the new joints. Scrapers used on frames and worktops can nick or lift a new bead.
Frames with gaps too wide for sealant need sorting before the mastic goes on. Filling a wide gap with sealant alone sets up a failure so packing or adjustment by the installer comes first. We flag them as soon as we see them.

When something else is needed
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It isn’t the answer for:
- Oversized gaps that need packing or adjustment by others
- Designing joint widths or choosing the specification (that sits with the designer)
- Glazing units that are cracked or misted
If you are not sure, just ring 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we seal
- Sanitary and kitchen joints
- Floor and skirting junctions
- Internal decorators’ caulk
- Brick and block movement joints
- Cladding and panel joints
- Window and door perimeters
Common problems we fix in Hare Hatch
Dust is the enemy of adhesion on a construction site. Plaster dust, release agents, protective film residue and damp all stop sealant bonding so faces get cleaned, and primer goes on wherever the maker specifies, even on new work.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Perimeter gaps outside the sealant’s range
- Old sealant on a refurbishment that needs stripping before new work
- Mastic snags holding up handover
- Different trades sealing to different standards
School extensions, at buildings such as Robert Piggott CofE Infant School, usually run to the summer holidays, mastic included.
Questions to ask before you book
- How long is the guarantee, and what does it include?

Hare Hatch: questions and answers
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as St Mark's Hospital?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Is Hare Hatch off your patch?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. London and every South East county are within our area. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
How do I request a quote?
You can use the quote form on this site; alternatively, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email the details over. Photos, drawings or a joint schedule help us quote quickly.
Can fire-rated sealing at service penetrations be included?
Where it’s specified, yes, working to the specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance. We will flag if the detail needs a different product.
Can you work while the building is occupied?
Typically, yes. We phase the work so most of the building stays in use, with each area protected and signed.
Can weather delay the job?
It can, when the joints are outside. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Internal work is far less affected.
How many days will you need on site?
It depends on the scope, though a typical visit usually takes a few days on a modest refurbishment and longer on multi-plot or multi-storey schemes. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we will give you a timescale with the quote.
Mastic packages on Hare Hatch sites
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. That doesn’t stop wet spells, or frosty starts that leave panels too damp to seal, so external mastic is timed for workable conditions and agreed with the site manager. At about 32 miles from central London, Hare Hatch is within reach of the capital. Commuter-belt towns tend to see a steady flow of new flats, offices and commercial schemes, which keeps mastic packages in demand.
Units on estates such as Castle End Business Park, less than half a mile to the south of Hare Hatch, tend to be reclad and refitted as tenants change, and each job leaves cladding and perimeter joints to seal. For contractors on a campus like University of Reading, 3.3 miles to the west of Hare Hatch, facade and perimeter sealing has to fit around students and term dates.

Cost factors for mastic packages
To price the job, we consider:
- How accessible the joints are
- The total length or number of joints
- The size and state of each joint
- How much existing material needs removing
No two sites price the same: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.
