Different surfaces, different methods
Fire-rated sealant where specified
Where the specification calls for fire-rated or intumescent sealant around service penetrations or linear gaps, we install it to the manufacturer’s tested detail. Fire stopping design belongs to the designer and building control; we work to the specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance.
Window and door perimeters
Internal perimeters are usually sealed with a paintable product where decorating follows. The specification decides which.
Construction mastic in Pett, done properly
We work to the specification and the programme. If a product is named, that’s what goes in. Backing, primer and depth follow what the sealant maker sets out, so the joints perform as the designer intended. If you have bath and shower joints scraped during the final clean and perimeter gaps outside the sealant’s range, we can put it right. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in Pett, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Construction in and around smaller places such as Pett is often barn conversions, small groups of houses or extensions to halls and schools. Perimeters, facade joints and internal sealant all need doing properly, however small the scheme.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

For managing agents and facilities managers
Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients come to us directly as well. We plan around the way the building is used, so the building keeps working while we do.
We work for building owners and managing agents on everything from one building to a spread of sites. Several sites can go on one quote, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.
How the quote is worked out
The price varies from site to site. Expect it to depend on:
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Access and working height
- The product specified
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.
Sending details for a quote
Good information means a firmer quote. When you get in touch, include:
- Any specification or named product
- The type of building and who uses it
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
Send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed: that’s how every job runs. The first step is to speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email with what you know.
After the work
After handover, a little attention goes a long way:
- Plan external elevations with the weather in mind
- Keep finished joints away from paint, plaster and scrapers
- Check frame gaps are within the sealant’s range before sealing
- Keep product details for future maintenance
At handover, keep the product details with the O&M information. That helps the building owner maintain the joints later and avoids guesswork when joints are renewed. Tell us what records you need and we will confirm with the quote.
Snag items left to the last week put handover at risk. Clearing snags area by area spreads the work out, and avoids a rush.
Facades, frames and programmes in Pett
The sea is no more than about 1 mile from Pett. Coastal exposure means perimeter and cladding joints work harder than on an inland job, so joint design, primers and product choice deserve extra care. Pett is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. Even so, frost and condensation on steel and glass are common on winter mornings, so external mastic is timed for workable conditions and agreed with the site manager.
New wings at hospitals like Conquest Hospital (to the west of Pett) bring long runs of window and panel joints to seal.
Pett is about 5 miles east of Hastings, in East Sussex.

Your questions answered
Can being near the sea in Pett affect the sealant we need?
It can. Driven rain and salt are tougher on outside sealant than sheltered inland conditions. We choose the product for the exposure, prime where the manufacturer requires it and size the joint for its movement.
Is Pett too far out for you?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
What does a mastic package normally include?
The scope comes from the specification and drawings, but most packages include frame perimeters, sanitary and kitchen joints, caulking where specified and a snagging pass.
Can one quote cover more than one building?
Yes. A group of buildings can go on one quote, with one point of contact.
Do you take on mastic snagging only?
Yes. We can work through a mastic snag list area by area before handover, cutting out damaged or poor joints and resealing them.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
Does weather affect external mastic work?
External mastic depends on conditions: the joint needs to be dry and within the product’s temperature range. External work is sequenced with some flexibility.

Signs you need construction mastic in Pett
On a live site, contamination is the biggest threat to a new joint. Dust, film adhesive, damp and grease on the joint faces prevent a proper bond, so preparation matters as much here as on a reseal.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Sealant knocked or painted over by other trades
- Snag items on joints that need redoing before handover
- Frame perimeters left unsealed or poorly sealed
- A mastic package split between trades with no clear owner
Older buildings in the area around Pett, such as Lamb House, 4.7 miles to the north-east of Pett, need care when sealed: the product has to suit soft or historic materials.
What to look for in a quote
