Share the site address and what’s failing, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote or arrange a visit.
After the work
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Pass these on to them:
- Use the product the specification names
- Don’t force external sealing on a damp or frosty day
- Record the products used in the O&M file
- Get the mastic subcontractor involved early in the programme
Once an area is sealed, protect it from following trades. Fresh sealant needs its cure time before it’s cleaned, painted near or knocked; we confirm the time for each product.
External joints sealed in poor weather are a common cause of early failure. Holding off until conditions suit avoids callbacks, so we plan external work with that in mind.
Construction mastic in Plumpton, done properly
On a new build, the mastic package is one of the last trades through each area. Mastic Doctor takes on mastic packages for main contractors and developers with projects in Plumpton, following the trades through the building as rooms and elevations become ready. If you have mastic snags holding up handover and missed perimeter joints on a new elevation, we can put it right, on window and door perimeters, internal decorators’ caulk and floor and skirting junctions alike. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, the work in Plumpton is the same: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Sites around smaller places like Plumpton can be a fair drive from suppliers, so we come with everything the package needs. Send drawings or photographs and the programme and we’ll quote to suit.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months, wherever the site is. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

When to call us in Plumpton
Wide, tapered or inconsistent gaps around frames are a common problem. Every product has limits on how wide a joint it can bridge and gaps beyond it need packing or adjusting by the frame installer. We flag them early rather than filling them with sealant that won’t last.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Bath and shower joints scraped during the final clean
- External joints sealed in damp or cold conditions that are now failing
- Caulk cracking where joints are moving more than expected
- Frame perimeters left unsealed or poorly sealed
On a campus such as University of Sussex, which lies south of Plumpton, new teaching buildings and residences are usually built and refurbished around the academic year.

Advice
For managing agents and facilities managers
Building owners and managing agents use us on everything from one building to a spread of sites. One quote can cover more than one site, which keeps the paperwork simple.
We take on planned maintenance as well as one-off repairs: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. Sites in Plumpton can sit alongside others in a wider programme.
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 and a consistent finish. For buildings around smaller places like Plumpton, water damage can go unnoticed for longer, especially where a building isn’t used daily, which gives a failed joint time to do damage. Renewing joints in good time avoids the problem.
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote and we’ll put a fixed figure on it.

Should maintenance staff do it?
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but larger jobs are different: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. The usual problems come from preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
FAQs: Plumpton
Will you plan work around the academic year at somewhere like University of Sussex?
Yes. Tell us the term dates, vacation periods and access windows, and we will plan the work around them. Let us know which documents your site asks for, and we will confirm them alongside the quote.
Is a smaller place like Plumpton outside your area?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We work across Greater London and the South East. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Can you seal external joints in wet or cold weather?
Weather matters for external sealing: each sealant has a temperature range, and the joint must be dry. External work is sequenced with some flexibility.
What accreditations do you hold?
We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, with CSCS-carded applicators. Public liability insurance of five million pounds is in place too.
What about RAMS and site documents?
Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
The duty to manage asbestos sits with the building’s dutyholder, so we will ask for the register before work on an older building. If anything suspect turns up, we stop until it’s tested.
What guarantee comes with a mastic package?
Our workmanship carries a 12-month guarantee from sign-off. The guarantee covers our work, not later damage by other trades.
Facades, frames and programmes in Plumpton
Rainfall across the South East, Plumpton included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Still, external mastic needs dry faces within the maker’s temperature limits, which isn’t every day, so the external programme keeps a little slack. At about 41 miles from central London, Plumpton is within reach of the capital. Commuter-belt towns tend to see a steady flow of new flats, offices and commercial schemes, which keeps mastic packages in demand.
With historic properties like Anne of Cleves House (to the south-east of Plumpton) in the area, refurbishment work often meets old masonry that needs compatible sealants. When a college such as Plumpton College (to the west of Plumpton) builds or refurbishes, the mastic package normally has to fit around students and staff.
