Surface by surface
Internal decorators’ caulk
Caulking is often done in a hurry by whoever’s on site. A neat, consistent caulk line makes the decorators’ job quicker and reduces snags.
Snagging before handover
Snagging is often the final mastic stage. Snags are cleared room by room and damaged joints are redone rather than patched.
Construction mastic for commercial buildings in Shere
Site managers want applicators who turn up with the right cards and paperwork. We are a Constructionline member and CHAS accredited, and every applicator holds a CSCS card. Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote. If you’re dealing with perimeter gaps outside the sealant’s range and snag items on joints that need redoing before handover, we can help. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Shere? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005, with CSCS-carded applicators.
In the countryside around places like Shere, conversion schemes put new frames into old stone, flint, brick or timber. Those joints need a sealant that suits an uneven, sometimes porous surface, and often a colour chosen for the building.
We stand behind the joints we seal with a 12-month guarantee. That covers our preparation and application.

Why it’s worth doing now in Shere
When a package runs over budget, downgrading the product is a common first thought. A failed joint in the defects period costs far more than the product difference, especially externally. Where an alternative is genuinely suitable, we’ll say so. Around Shere, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once, rather than one at a time. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class, which is what makes a joint last.
What we can’t put right
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Approving fire stopping as compliant
- Frames fitted out of tolerance
- Joint design decisions that belong to the architect or engineer
Not sure which it is? You can give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email us and we will tell you honestly.
What we seal
- Sanitary and kitchen joints
- Floor and skirting junctions
- Internal decorators’ caulk
- Cladding and panel joints
- Brick and block movement joints
- Window and door perimeters
Questions we’re asked in Shere
Can you work on a hospital site such as St. Luke’s Hospital?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Is Shere too small for you to travel to?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Can one quote cover more than one building?
Yes. A group of buildings can go on one quote, and you deal with one contact throughout across South East England, Greater London and Scotland.
Do you do internal caulk as well as external mastic?
External perimeters and movement joints, internal caulking where specified, sanitary and kitchen joints, plus snagging, all priced as one package.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance.
Can you work to our specification?
The specification decides the product, and we’ll raise it if something in it doesn’t suit the joint. Specifications often reference BS EN 15651 or BS 6213.
For managing agents and facilities managers
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.
Agents, factors and owners’ representatives all follow the same route: send the details, accept a fixed quote, and we carry out and guarantee the work. We can agree access arrangements and keyholder contacts beforehand.
Construction mastic in Shere: the local picture
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. 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. Shere lies roughly 25 miles out from central London. Construction around the commuter belt mixes station-side flats with refurbished offices and units, and main contractors there need mastic that keeps to the programme.
Projects at schools like Shere CofE Aided Infant School work to term dates, so mastic is programmed tightly. Older buildings in the area around Shere, such as Hatchlands Park, which lies north of Shere, need care when sealed: the product has to suit soft or historic materials. New wings at hospitals like St. Luke’s Hospital (to the west of Shere) bring long runs of window and panel joints to seal.
Shere is about 5 miles east of Guildford, in Surrey. Our applicators travel to Shere for work on mastic packages, handled exactly as we handle every other area. Our Surrey coverage takes in 379 places, large and small. Our London page has more on work in that area (25 miles or so).
