Construction mastic in Lanham Green
Mastic Doctor has been a subcontractor on construction projects for over 20 years. We price from drawings and the specification, agree the sequence with the site team and seal as areas are released. For construction mastic on a scheme in Lanham Green, send drawings through our quote form, or phone or email us to talk it through. We work on cladding and panel joints, brick and block movement joints and floor and skirting junctions, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are new external sealant already peeling away and inconsistent sealant finishes from plot to plot. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, the work in Lanham Green is the same: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
For a site near Lanham Green, 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.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

Quoting for work in Lanham Green
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, since sites vary so much. What we look at:
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- How much existing material needs removing
- Any access equipment needed
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits, along with the time of year for external work.
What to include in your enquiry
To price the job accurately, we need to understand the site. Send us:
- Any specification or named product
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- The postcode of the building
- Access details, including height
Every job follows the same four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. To take the first step, ring 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form.
What the job involves on each surface
Snagging before handover
Damaged, missed or untidy joints make up most snag lists. Snagging can be included or priced separately.
Bathrooms, en suites and washrooms
Sanitary joints around baths, showers, basins and WCs need anti-mould sanitary silicone. Joints are cleaned, sealed and tooled neatly and baths are loaded where appropriate before sealing.
What sealant work can’t fix
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- Defective windows, doors or glazing units (the supplier or installer’s job)
- Joint design decisions that belong to the architect or engineer
- Approving fire stopping as compliant
If in doubt, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Cladding and panel joints
- Brick and block movement joints
- Internal decorators’ caulk
- Window and door perimeters
- Floor and skirting junctions
- Sanitary and kitchen joints
Aftercare for building managers
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. Specifically:
- Brief following trades on areas that have been sealed
- Ask installers to correct oversized gaps first
- Stick to the specified sealant rather than a generic substitute
- Share drawings and the specification as soon as possible
Expect some settlement in the first months. The right product in each joint copes with that. We can advise if a joint needs a different product.
Frames with gaps too wide for sealant need sorting before the mastic goes on. Sealant stretched over an oversized gap won’t last, so the installer needs to correct it first. We raise them during our first walk of the area.
Sites and facades in and around Lanham Green
Rainfall across the South East, Lanham Green included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Even so, frost and condensation on steel and glass are common on winter mornings, so the external programme keeps a little slack. At about 39 miles from central London, Lanham Green is within reach of the capital. Towns within reach of London tend to keep building, from flats to offices and schools, which keeps mastic packages in demand.
School extensions, at buildings such as Cressing Primary School, usually run to the summer holidays, mastic included. Recladding or extending a unit at a site like Lanham Business Park (to the north-west of Lanham Green) brings panel joints and frame perimeters into the programme. Extensions at sites like Braintree Community Hospital (to the west of Lanham Green) usually sit beside working departments, and the mastic follows strict access rules.

Questions about Lanham Green
Would you work within a site like Braintree Community Hospital?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Can you work around term dates at a campus such as Braintree College?
Yes, holiday working periods are the norm on campus jobs. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and paperwork such as RAMS is confirmed with the quote.
How do you choose the sealant?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
Do you offer coloured sealant?
It depends on the product. Some ranges are wide, others limited, so we’ll confirm the colours available for the specified product with the quote.
What happens if old sealant might contain asbestos?
Asbestos is possible in some older mastics, particularly in buildings from before 2000. We check the asbestos register before cutting out old sealant in an older building, and work stops until any suspect material has been tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
Are you CHAS accredited?
Our applicators hold CSCS cards, and we are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member. Public liability insurance of five million pounds is in place too.
How much does the work cost?
