How we handle construction mastic in The Valley
On a new build, the mastic package is one of the last trades through each area, which puts it right on the critical path. Mastic Doctor takes on mastic packages for main contractors and developers on schemes in The Valley. We work on window and door perimeters, cladding and panel joints and brick and block movement joints, and what we’re called in for most is new external sealant already peeling away and oversized or tapered gaps around new frames. Whoever orders the work in The Valley, the brief is typically the same: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
For a site near The Valley, the mastic visit is planned so the right sealants, primers and backing rod are on hand. Send drawings or photos and the programme and we will quote to suit.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and the quote explains what it covers.

Mastic packages on The Valley sites
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Winter mornings still bring frost and condensation on frames and panels, so external mastic is timed for workable conditions and agreed with the site manager. The Valley lies roughly 42 miles out from central London. Towns within reach of London tend to keep building, from flats to offices and schools, which keeps mastic packages in demand.
Sites around The Valley get mastic sealed to the drawings and the programme, nothing improvised. With historic properties like Belmont House and Gardens, 2.1 miles to the north-east of The Valley, in the area, refurbishment work often meets old masonry that needs compatible sealants.

Common questions from The Valley clients
What paperwork can you provide for a job in The Valley?
We’ll confirm the paperwork you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate and CSCS details, with the quote. We hold £5m public liability insurance, are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and our applicators are CSCS-carded.
Can the mastic package for our job in The Valley follow the site programme?
Yes. Send the programme and drawings, and we’ll plan the mastic to suit the stages. Tell us which site documents you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate or CSCS details, and they’re confirmed with the quote.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
Some older mastics, especially in pre-2000 buildings, can contain asbestos. Before we disturb old sealant in an older building, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey, and if asbestos is suspected, work stops until it’s tested. Removing asbestos is a job for asbestos specialists, not us.
What does a mastic package usually include?
It depends on the specification, but frames, sanitary, kitchens, caulk where specified and snagging are typical.
Is the mastic package guaranteed?
Each package is backed by a 12-month guarantee. We are also fully insured for public liability.
Who decides which product is used?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. Without one, the joint decides: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
How long before the joints can be used?
Curing time varies by product, and we confirm it on the day, and sign any area that should be left alone.
Cost factors for mastic packages
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, since sites vary so much. What we look at:
- Any access equipment needed
- Distance, for remote addresses
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Joint width, depth and condition
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.
What to include in your enquiry
There’s no need for a formal survey. These details are enough to start:
- Specification clauses that apply
- Your programme or deadline
- Clear photographs of the problem areas
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photographs and a few notes.
How the job changes by surface
Fire-rated sealant where specified
Where the specification calls for fire-rated or intumescent sealant around service penetrations or linear gaps, we install it to the manufacturer’s tested detail. The design and sign-off of fire stopping sit with the designer, principal designer or fire engineer.
Window and door perimeters
Gaps around frames have to be within the sealant’s range. We check them during the first walk-round and flag any that need packing or adjusting before sealing starts.
Our process
Our CSCS-carded applicators arrive with the sealants, primers and backing rod the job calls for. Any old material is cut back to clean, sound faces, primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, and the sealant is tooled off neatly. If others near The Valley need work, visits can be combined. You will have a fixed quote before work starts.
- We price from the drawings, specification and programme you send.
- A fixed quote sets out the scope, the products and the sequence.
- Any site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) is confirmed with the quote.
- We seal each plot or floor as it’s released to us.
- Each joint is prepared, backed to depth and sealed in the product the specification names.
- Before handover, snags are dealt with and the package is signed off under our 12-month guarantee.
What we need from you
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
Request a quote
We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so you know the figure before anyone is on site. To start the process, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form.

Work for main contractors and building owners
Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. We phase the work so people keep access, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, we make supplier vetting simple. We’re fully insured, and our insurance certificate can go with the quote.
After the work
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. Our advice:
- Protect sealed areas from following trades
- Get the mastic subcontractor involved early in the programme
- Stick to the specified sealant rather than a generic substitute
- Plan external elevations with the weather in mind
At handover, keep the product details with the O&M information. Future maintenance is easier when the products are known. We can confirm the handover information you need when we quote.
One unsealed frame can let water into finished internal areas. That normally means redoing finishes in a completed area. A check of every frame before decorators start is worth the time.
What sealant work can’t fix
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It won’t put right:
- Fire-stopping design or sign-off (that’s for the designer, fire engineer and building control)
- Joints damaged after sign-off by following trades
- Joint design decisions that belong to the architect or engineer
Not sure which it is? You can speak to us on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
