Aftercare for building managers
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Don’t force external sealing on a damp or frosty day
- Stick to the specified sealant rather than a generic substitute
- Get the mastic subcontractor involved early in the programme
- Ask installers to correct oversized gaps first
The package carries our 12-month guarantee for workmanship. The guarantee covers how we sealed, not later damage by other trades.
Sanitary joints that fail early become defects soon after occupation. Leaks behind showers and basins damage finishes and floors. Proper preparation, with the right silicone first time, keeps it off the defects list.
About our construction mastic in Surrey Quays
Most of the packages we price run well beyond frames: frame perimeters inside and out, caulking to trims and boards where the specification calls for it, sanitary silicone, kitchens, and the final snag list. Splitting those between trades often leaves gaps in responsibility. We work on window and door perimeters, sanitary and kitchen joints and floor and skirting junctions, and the failures we are asked to look at most are cracks opening in caulked internal joints and existing joints on a refurb that need cutting out and resealing. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, in Surrey Quays it comes down to the same thing: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
The ULEZ covers the whole of Greater London, so contractors’ vehicles on a job in Surrey Quays must meet its standards or pay the daily charge. Add booked delivery slots and limited storage, and a London mastic package needs planning before the first bead.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and the quote explains what it covers.

Our process
Site rules come first: signing in, inductions and any permit to work. Once we are cleared to begin, we take the joints in the sequence agreed with you, and each area is checked before we leave it. In Surrey Quays, most buildings stay in use during the work, so we agree zones and timings with the building or facilities manager. Phased work keeps the rest of the building in use.
- We price from the drawings, specification and programme you send.
- We return a fixed quote that ties the mastic package to your programme.
- You tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we confirm it with the quote.
- Areas are sealed plot by plot or floor by floor as the trades hand them over.
- Each joint is prepared, backed to depth and sealed in the product the specification names.
- Snags are cleared before handover and completed areas carry our 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Have the specification and drawings to hand

Why act early in Surrey Quays
A cheaper sealant can look like an easy saving on a large package. A failed joint in the defects period costs far more than the product difference. We price the specified product and will tell you plainly where an alternative would or wouldn’t work. Access in London is hard enough to arrange once, so while access is arranged it pays to renew all failing joints, not just the worst.
What a job costs comes down to the quantity of joints, how much old material needs removing and how the joints are reached. Call for a fixed quote when you’re ready.

What sealant work can’t fix
Being straight saves everyone time. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- Glazing units that are cracked or misted
- Fire-stopping design or sign-off (that’s for the designer, fire engineer and building control)
- Joint design decisions that belong to the architect or engineer
If in doubt, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will say what we think before you book.

Questions we’re asked in Surrey Quays
Can you cope with the access rules in a London building?
Yes, we plan every London job around the building’s own access rules. Send the building rules and access times with your enquiry.
Is a hospital such as Royal London Hospital somewhere you can work?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
Are you insured?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
Will you come and look before quoting?
It depends on the job. Straightforward work can often be priced from photographs and measurements, and bigger or more complex jobs normally get a visit.
What’s the quickest route to a quote?
The quote form is the simplest route, though you can also phone 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos. Photos, drawings or a joint schedule help us quote quickly.
Are you CHAS accredited?
Our applicators are CSCS-carded, and we hold CHAS accreditation and Constructionline membership. We confirm any paperwork you need with the quote.
How long will the new sealant last?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
Different surfaces, different methods
Snagging before handover
Snags typically come from damage by following trades, missed joints or poor earlier work. Snagging can be included or priced separately.
Internal decorators’ caulk
Acrylic caulk fills internal gaps around trims, boards and frames ahead of decorating. It’s paintable and suits gaps that don’t move, and we use a flexible sealant where there’s movement.
Should maintenance staff do it?
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
Some joints are best left to specialists: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. Getting these wrong normally costs more in the end than doing them right.
