Construction mastic in Homerton, done properly
A typical mastic package covers more than window perimeters: frame perimeters inside and out, caulking to trims and boards where the specification calls for it, sanitary silicone, kitchens, and the final snag list. Splitting those between trades often leaves gaps in responsibility. We work on internal decorators’ caulk, window and door perimeters and sanitary and kitchen joints, and what we are called in for most is sanitary sealant damaged by following trades and a long mastic snag list close to completion. Searching for sealant specialists in Homerton? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005, with CSCS-carded applicators.
The ULEZ covers the whole of Greater London, so contractors’ vehicles on a job in Homerton must meet its standards or pay the daily charge. Alongside that, sites typically need booked deliveries and a plan for where materials go.
We stand by our work with a 12-month guarantee. That covers our preparation and application, and we come back if anything isn’t right.

Looking after the joints
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. We suggest:
- Keep product details for future maintenance
- Don’t force external sealing on a damp or frosty day
- Put any product change through the designer first
- Release areas for mastic once other trades have finished in them
Brief the sparkle clean so they don’t scrape the new joints. Blades and abrasive pads are the commonest cause of damage at the final clean so keep them off the joints.
Leaving the mastic snag list to the end squeezes everyone. A planned close-out through each area as it completes keeps the list short and keeps handover on track.

What happens if it’s left?
Clearing snags piecemeal is tempting when handover is close. But one planned snagging pass through each area normally clears more for less disruption and saves applicators coming back again and again. We can run snagging as its own phase before handover. Repeat call-outs disrupt occupied London buildings, so cutting the old sealant out fully and doing it right once is the better route.
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote and we’ll put a fixed figure on it.

How long do sealant joints last?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
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.
What joints do you seal on a new build?
It depends on the specification, but frames, sanitary, kitchens, caulk where specified and snagging are typical.

Our process
A typical day starts with protection: masking tape along the joint edges and sheeting over anything nearby. The work itself typically takes whatever the programme allows, since the work follows the trades as areas are released, and we clear our waste as we work. For a job in Homerton, access comes first. Send the building rules and access times with your enquiry.
- 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.
- We seal plot by plot or floor by floor in line with the programme.
- 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.
Getting the site ready

- Tell staff and tenants when we will be in
- Have the specification and drawings to hand

Honest limits
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It isn’t the answer for:
- Specifying the product where the designer hasn’t
- Approving fire stopping as compliant
- Damage to finishes by other trades after we’ve sealed
If in doubt, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email us and we will say what we think.
Joints and surfaces we work on

- Floor and skirting junctions
- Sanitary and kitchen joints
What the job involves on each surface
Internal decorators’ caulk
Where the specification calls for it, acrylic decorators’ caulk goes on non-moving internal gaps before painting. It’s paintable and suits gaps that don’t move while moving joints need a flexible sealant.
Snagging before handover
Damaged, missed or untidy joints make up most snag lists. Snagging can be included or priced separately.
Cost factors for mastic packages
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, because every site is different. What we take into account:
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- Distance, for remote addresses
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Access and working height
The product called for affects the cost, and so does the preparation. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
Before you send an enquiry
The more we know, the firmer the quote. When you get in touch, include:
- The postcode of the building
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- When you need the work done
Send us photographs, drawings or a joint schedule and a fixed quote comes back to you. Where a site visit makes more sense, we will arrange one.
