How a job runs
We schedule the visit to fit the site hours and access windows you give us. On the day, the work area is kept contained and tidy, and we check in with your contact before moving on to each new area.

About our construction mastic in Milstead
Mastic tends to be one of the final packages before handover. Mastic Doctor takes on mastic packages for main contractors and developers with projects in Milstead, following the trades through the building as rooms and elevations become ready. If you have missed perimeter joints on a new elevation and existing joints on a refurb that need cutting out and resealing, we can help, on brick and block movement joints, internal decorators’ caulk and floor and skirting junctions alike. For commercial sealant work in Milstead, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, whether it’s one building or several.
Sites around smaller places like Milstead can be a fair drive from suppliers, so we come with everything the package needs. Drawings, photos and the programme let us give a fixed quote.
We stand behind the joints we seal: 12 months, guaranteed. That covers our preparation and application.

New build and refits around Milstead
At about 38 miles from central London, Milstead is within reach of the capital. Towns within reach of London tend to keep building, from flats to offices and schools, and main contractors there need mastic that keeps to the programme. 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, which is why external dates are agreed with the site manager.
When a college such as Sittingbourne College (2.7 miles north of Milstead) builds or refurbishes, the mastic package typically has to fit around students and staff. On a campus such as Canterbury Christ Church University, which lies south-west of Milstead, new teaching buildings and residences are typically built and refurbished around the academic year. School extensions, at buildings such as Milstead and Frinsted Church of England Primary School, usually run to the summer holidays, mastic included.
Milstead is about 3 miles south of Sittingbourne, in Kent. Our applicators travel to Milstead for work on mastic packages, handled exactly as we handle every other area.

What affects the price in Milstead
We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Travel to remote or island sites
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
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 we need to price the job
There’s no need for a formal survey. A few details are enough to get going:
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- Specification clauses that apply
- When you need the work done
Quotes are fixed against the scope you send, so the cost is agreed before work starts. To ask for one, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email the details over.
Leave it or put it right?
Some packages split mastic across the window fitter, kitchen fitter and plumber. The result tends to be uneven finishes and arguments about who should seal what. One mastic subcontractor for the lot keeps it simple, with the same standard on every plot. Halls, stores and units around places like Milstead may not be checked every day, so a failed joint can leak for a while before anyone sees it. Renewing joints in good time avoids the problem.
We don’t publish prices, since every building and every scope is different. For a fixed figure, call for a quote.

Milstead: questions and answers
Can you work around term dates at a campus such as Canterbury Christ Church University?
Yes. We plan campus work around teaching, exams and residence turnarounds. Tell us which site documents you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate or CSCS details, and they’re confirmed with the quote.
Is Milstead off your patch?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
What about RAMS and site documents?
Each site asks for different documents, so tell us what you need and we will confirm it when we quote.
How do I request a quote?
You can use the quote form on this site; alternatively, ring 01277 525 020 or email us. Include photographs or drawings if you have them.
What hours do you work?
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.
Are you insured?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
Can you work while the building is occupied?
Usually, yes. We phase the work so most of the building stays in use.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class.
There’s also the paperwork. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
After the work
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Flag uneven or tapered frame gaps early
- Plan external elevations with the weather in mind
- Ask for joint and product checks before the package is urgent
- Record the products used in the O&M file
Any damage after we’ve finished should go on the snag list straight away. Snags can be picked up in a planned close-out visit, priced as part of the package or separately.
One unsealed frame can let water into finished internal areas. That usually means redoing finishes in a completed area. Checking perimeters before internal finishes go on avoids it.
Commercial clients in Milstead
FMs need a contractor who is easy to get on site. Let us know the documents you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. We phase the work so people keep access, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
