How we handle construction mastic in Puttenham
Mastic Doctor has been a subcontractor on construction projects for over 20 years. We price from drawings and the specification, agree the sequence with the site team and seal as areas are released. To price a package in Puttenham, send drawings and the specification through our quote form. Most enquiries involve sanitary sealant damaged by following trades and missed perimeter joints on a new elevation, on window and door perimeters, cladding and panel joints and sanitary and kitchen joints. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Puttenham, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Sites around smaller places like Puttenham can be a fair drive from suppliers, so we come with everything the package needs. Send drawings or photographs and the programme and we will quote to suit.
We stand behind the joints we seal with a 12-month guarantee. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant, and we come back if anything isn’t right.

When to call us in Puttenham
Three-sided adhesion is a frequent fault on new work. Bonded to the base of the joint and both sides, sealant can’t stretch evenly, so depth is controlled with backing rod or bond-breaker tape.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- Perimeter gaps outside the sealant’s range
- Failed sealant in an existing building being refurbished
- Cracks opening in caulked internal joints
- New external sealant already peeling away
For contractors on a campus like University of Surrey - Manor Park Campus, 3 miles east of Puttenham, facade and perimeter sealing has to fit around students and term dates.
Questions to ask before you book
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
- How joint depth will be controlled
- Their public liability cover
- How they’ll work around occupants
What happens if it’s left?
Leaving mastic to whichever trade is fitting the element can look cheaper on paper. In practice it often means different standards, gaps in responsibility and snags nobody owns. A single mastic package gives one point of responsibility, with the same standard on every plot. Older rural buildings around Puttenham move with the seasons, and rigid or tired sealant can’t keep up. A sealant with the right movement capability, correctly sized, lasts far better.
There’s no price list, since every building and every scope is different. Call for a quote.

Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Are you insured?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
Can the sealant be colour-matched?
It depends on the product. Some ranges offer many colours, others very few, so the available colours are confirmed with the quote.
How long does a job like this take?
It depends on the scope, but the work usually takes as long as the agreed sequence needs, which comes down to joint lengths, access and handover dates. For bigger or phased jobs, we’ll set out a timescale with the quote.
Can you work while the building is occupied?
In most cases, yes. We phase the work so most of the building stays in use.
Can fire-rated sealing at service penetrations be included?
It can be part of the package where specified. Tell us what records you need and we’ll confirm with the quote.
What the job involves on each surface
Internal decorators’ caulk
Caulking is often done in a hurry by whoever’s on site. Done properly, it saves decorators time and gives a clean line and keeps the snag list down.
Kitchens and utility areas
On commercial kitchen fit-outs, hygienic sealants are often specified. Joints are sealed smooth so they’re easy to clean.
From enquiry to sign-off
Our CSCS-carded applicators arrive with the sealants, primers and backing rod the job calls for. Joint faces are cleaned back to sound, dry surfaces, primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, and each bead is tooled to a neat concave finish. For a building around Puttenham, tell us how to find it and who will meet us. Add it to your enquiry and we will build it into the plan.

What sealant work can’t fix
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It isn’t the answer for:
- Joints damaged after sign-off by following trades
- Designing joint widths or choosing the specification (that sits with the designer)
- Fire-stopping design or sign-off (that’s for the designer, fire engineer and building control)
