About our construction mastic in Luxted
Mastic is often where a new building first shows its quality to the client. Untidy or missed joints are among the commonest snag items and clearing them late eats into the handover window. Our aim is joints that pass at the first inspection, area by area through the programme. The enquiries we see most involve sealant knocked or painted over by other trades and a long mastic snag list close to completion, across cladding and panel joints, floor and skirting junctions and sanitary and kitchen joints. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Luxted? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005.
Construction in a London area such as Luxted means working on constrained sites: small compounds, delivery slots and shared hoists and scaffold. We fit around the programme, sealing each elevation or floor as other trades hand over.
We stand behind the joints we seal: 12 months, guaranteed. That covers our preparation and application, and if something we did falls short, we return to it.

What we can’t put right
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. It won’t fix:
- Specifying the product where the designer hasn’t
- Frame gaps too wide for sealant, which the installer needs to correct
- Approving fire stopping as compliant
If you are not sure, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will give you a straight answer.
What we seal
- Brick and block movement joints
- Internal decorators’ caulk
- Floor and skirting junctions
- Sanitary and kitchen joints
- Cladding and panel joints
- Window and door perimeters
What sets the cost
To price the job, we consider:
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Access and working height
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Location, for remote and island sites
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well, along with the time of year for external work.
What to include in your enquiry
Whether it’s one area or a whole building, the same details help:
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- The postcode of the building
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
Need a figure for a tender or a budget? We will quote against your scope and drawings you can plan around. If you have questions first, call 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.

Your questions answered
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Princess Royal University Hospital?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Can you work in a London building with booked loading and goods-lift slots?
Yes. Inductions, permits and timed loading are routine for us in London. Say when the building is occupied and when it’s quiet, and we’ll plan accordingly. We allow for the ULEZ, which covers every borough
Can you fit around our working hours?
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 happens if the weather stops external sealing?
Conditions have to suit the product before external work starts. Sealing in poor conditions risks adhesion failure.
Can you clear a mastic snag list before handover?
Yes. We can work through a mastic snag list area by area before handover.
Do you use the sealant named in the specification?
We follow the specified sealant. Specifications often reference BS EN 15651 or BS 6213.
Is the mastic package guaranteed?
Our workmanship carries a 12-month guarantee from sign-off. The guarantee covers our work, not later damage by other trades.
Why act early in Luxted
When a package runs over budget, downgrading the product is a common first thought. The saving is small next to the cost of callbacks and defects and external joints are where it shows first. We price the specified product and will tell you plainly where an alternative would or wouldn’t work. Repeat call-outs disrupt occupied London buildings, so cutting the old sealant out fully and doing it right once is the better route.
The work involved drives the cost: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a quote and we’ll explain how it’s made up.

Common problems we fix in Luxted
Shrinkage and settlement in the first months put new joints under strain. Plaster, screeds, timber and blockwork all shrink as they lose moisture. Choosing the right product for each joint reduces that.
Things that normally lead to an enquiry:
- A long mastic snag list close to completion
- Frame gaps too wide for sealant alone
- External joints sealed in damp or cold conditions that are now failing
- Failed sealant in an existing building being refurbished
Hotel extensions and refits, at places such as The Landing Hotel, which lies west of Luxted, usually run between busy periods, so the sealing is squeezed into short windows.
What to look for in a quote
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- What site paperwork they can supply
Building owners, agents and FMs in Luxted
Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients come to us directly as well. The work is planned around how the building runs, so the building keeps working while we do.
Facilities managers want contractors who arrive with the paperwork sorted. Tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we will confirm with the quote.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
Working in a building that stays open takes some planning. We sign and contain the area we are in, keep walkways clear and move on in phases so staff and visitors can carry on around us. The ULEZ covers the whole of Greater London, and parking near a job is rarely simple. Let us know about any on-site parking or loading arrangements when you send the job details.
- 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.
- Sealing follows the programme as areas are released.
- Problems we find, such as oversized gaps, are raised straight away.
- The package is closed out, snags cleared and backed by our 12-month guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
Getting a fixed quote
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it. For smaller jobs, photographs and a description will do.
