About our construction mastic in Tendring
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 Tendring, send drawings and the specification through our quote form. The enquiries we see most involve new external sealant already peeling away and failed sealant in an existing building being refurbished, on floor and skirting junctions, window and door perimeters and cladding and panel joints. Searching for sealant specialists in Tendring? We have been sealing commercial buildings since 2005.
Conversions of older rural buildings near smaller places such as Tendring bring stone, flint, brick and timber up against new glazing. Those joints need a sealant that suits an uneven, sometimes porous surface, and often a colour chosen for the building.
Every job is signed off with a 12-month guarantee. The promise is simple: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

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. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
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.
Questions we’re asked in Tendring
Can you keep pace with our programme in Tendring?
Yes. Send the programme and drawings, and we will plan the mastic to suit the stages. Let us know which documents your site asks for, and we will confirm them alongside the quote.
Is a smaller place like Tendring outside your area?
Not at all. Tendring is within our area. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
How do you work with the site programme?
Our work is sequenced around the programme. Areas are sealed as they’re released by the site team.
What do you charge?
We don’t publish prices, as every site differs. Send photographs or drawings and we will price it at a fixed figure.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
Can you handle several sites?
Yes. We take on portfolio and planned maintenance work, with each site phased to suit its occupants.
Do you guarantee new-build sealant work?
It’s backed by our 12-month guarantee. Protecting sealed areas from following trades helps avoid damage.

When something else is needed
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It won’t put right:
- Specifying the product where the designer hasn’t
- Faulty frames rather than failed sealant
- Frame gaps too wide for sealant, which the installer needs to correct
If in doubt, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll say what we think before you book.

When to call us in Tendring
A new building moves while it dries and settles. Materials lose construction moisture and shrink and internal caulk in a moving joint is usually the first to crack. Choosing the right product for each joint reduces that.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- Internal caulk splitting as the building dries out
- Failed sealant in an existing building being refurbished
- A long mastic snag list close to completion
- External joints sealed in damp or cold conditions that are now failing
When a school such as Tendring Primary School is extended or refurbished, the mastic package is often squeezed into the holidays.
Before you book anyone
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
- How the existing material will be dealt with
- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
Building and refurbishing in Tendring
At about 58 miles from central London, Tendring is within reach of the capital. Construction around the commuter belt mixes station-side flats with refurbished offices and units, and each scheme needs its mastic sealed to programme. Tendring is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. Still, external mastic needs dry faces within the maker’s temperature limits, which isn’t every day, which is why external dates are agreed with the site manager.
With historic properties like Thorpe Hall (2.8 miles south-east of Tendring) in the area, refurbishment work often meets old masonry that needs compatible sealants. For contractors refurbishing units at places like Oak Business Park, which lies east of Tendring, the mastic covers cladding panels, roller-door and window perimeters.
