Send drawings, photos or a joint schedule, or tell us about the site, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Our process
Where the site stays busy, the work is phased so only one area is out of use at a time. Each area is protected, prepared and sealed before we move to the next. Jobs in and around smaller places like Loudwater are normally planned as a single visit, so we ask for photos and rough sizes first. That way the right products come on the day.
- First we look at the scope on site or from drawings.
- A fixed quote sets out scope, products and phasing.
- Site paperwork is confirmed and our CSCS-carded applicators are inducted.
- 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.
- Final snagging is completed and the 12-month guarantee applies.
Getting the site ready
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000

Construction mastic in Loudwater
Mastic Doctor has been a subcontractor on construction projects for over 20 years. Quantities come off the drawings, the sequence is agreed with the site manager and the work follows the trades. For construction mastic on a scheme in Loudwater, 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 internal decorators’ caulk, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are missed perimeter joints on a new elevation and failed sealant in an existing building being refurbished. Most enquiries from Loudwater start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
Sites around smaller places like Loudwater can be a fair drive from suppliers, so we come with everything the package needs, timed to the stage the job has reached. Drawings, photographs and the programme let us give a fixed quote.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

Different surfaces, different methods
Fire-rated sealant where specified
Not every penetration suits a sealant. Collars, wraps, batts and boards are specified for other services, and we’ll tell you if the detail calls for something else. Record requirements are agreed with the quote.
Internal decorators’ caulk
Where the specification calls for it, acrylic decorators’ caulk goes on non-moving internal gaps before painting. It’s for gaps that stay still and get painted while moving joints need a flexible sealant.
Commercial clients in Loudwater
We work for building owners and managing agents on everything from one building to a spread of sites around Loudwater. Several sites can go on one quote, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.
When you manage a building on behalf of an owner, clear figures and clear communication matter. You get a fixed quote, an agreed scope and a walk round at the end.
Questions we are asked in Loudwater
Do you cover business parks and estates near Loudwater, such as Peerglow Industrial Estate?
Yes. Our area takes in Loudwater and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Peerglow Industrial Estate included. To start, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Can you work on a hospital site such as Bishops Wood Hospital?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
Can you send site paperwork?
Each site asks for different documents, so list what you need, whether RAMS, insurance or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm with the quote.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
Some older mastics, especially in pre-2000 buildings, can contain asbestos. 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.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No, never. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so it all comes out first.
Does weather affect external mastic work?
Weather matters for external sealing: the joint needs to be dry and within the product’s temperature range. External work is sequenced with some flexibility.
When is resealing likely to be due?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
General trades versus a specialist
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
Redoing a failed joint usually costs more than getting it right at the outset, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
What we can’t put right
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- Specifying the product where the designer hasn’t
- Rework caused by others damaging completed areas
- Frames fitted out of tolerance
If you’re not sure, just phone 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Floor and skirting junctions
- Internal decorators’ caulk
- Brick and block movement joints
- Window and door perimeters
- Cladding and panel joints
- Sanitary and kitchen joints
What happens if it’s left?
On a refurbishment, there’s a choice between resealing existing frames and replacing them. Sound frames often need only a new perimeter seal and that’s a far smaller job. If the frame is life-expired, we’ll tell you. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Loudwater. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.

New build and refits around Loudwater
Central London is about 20 miles from Loudwater. Commuter-belt towns tend to see a steady flow of new flats, offices and commercial schemes, and each scheme needs its mastic sealed to programme. Rainfall across the South East, Loudwater included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Winter mornings still bring frost and condensation on frames and panels, which is why external dates are agreed with the site manager.
Units on estates such as Peerglow Industrial Estate, 2.1 miles to the south-east of Loudwater, tend to be reclad and refitted as tenants change, and each job leaves cladding and perimeter joints to seal. With historic properties like Chenies Manor House (to the north-west of Loudwater) in the area, refurbishment work often meets old masonry that needs compatible sealants. When a school such as Christ Church Chorleywood CofE School is extended or refurbished, the mastic package is often squeezed into the holidays.
