Diagnose, treat, sign off
We bring the products specified for the job, along with primers and backing rod. 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. Jobs in and around smaller places like Tiptree Heath are usually planned as a single visit, so we ask for photos and rough sizes first. That way the right products come on the day.
- First we look at the scope on site or from drawings.
- A fixed quote sets out scope, products and phasing.
- Paperwork is agreed and applicators are inducted on site.
- Sealing follows the programme as areas are released.
- Any frame gaps or issues outside our scope are flagged to the site team.
- The package is closed out, snags cleared and backed by our 12-month guarantee.
Getting the site ready
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Send any specification or drawings in advance

About our construction mastic in Tiptree Heath
Mastic is often where a new building first shows its quality to the client. Untidy or missed joints are among the commonest snag items. Our aim is joints that pass at the first inspection, whatever the size of the scheme. If you have sanitary sealant damaged by following trades and window and door perimeters that won’t pass inspection, we can help. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Tiptree Heath from the first photographs to the final walk-round, whether it’s one building or several.
Construction in and around smaller places such as Tiptree Heath is often barn conversions, small groups of houses or extensions to halls and schools. Perimeters, facade joints and internal sealant all need doing properly, however small the scheme.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

Tiptree Heath: questions and answers
Is a smaller place like Tiptree Heath outside your area?
Not at all. Tiptree Heath is within our area. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Is Threshelfords Business Park, near Tiptree Heath, within your area?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Tiptree Heath, Threshelfords Business Park among them, are all within reach. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.
Can fire-rated sealing at service penetrations be included?
Where the specification calls for fire-rated or intumescent sealant around service penetrations or linear gaps, we install it to the manufacturer’s tested details. Fire-stopping design and sign-off sit with the designer and building control.
Can you quote from photographs?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, drawings or a joint schedule. Where they aren’t, we arrange a site visit.
What does a mastic package usually include?
External and internal frame perimeters, caulking where it’s specified, sanitary silicone, kitchen joints and snagging before handover. We price to the specification and drawings.
Can you come in just for snagging?
Yes, we can. Share the list and photos, and a fixed quote follows.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
After the work
After handover, these steps help:
- Record the products used in the O&M file
- Get the mastic subcontractor involved early in the programme
- Don’t force external sealing on a damp or frosty day
- Keep finished joints away from paint, plaster and scrapers
Brief the sparkle clean so they don’t scrape the new joints. Scrapers used on frames and worktops can nick or lift a new bead so keep them off the joints.
Snag items left to the last week put handover at risk. Clearing snags area by area spreads the work out and keeps handover on track.
Owners, agents and contractors
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. We phase the work so people keep access, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients come to us directly as well. The work is planned around how the building runs, so the building keeps working while we do.
Honest limits
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Defective windows, doors or glazing units (the supplier or installer’s job)
- Joint design decisions that belong to the architect or engineer
- Damage to finishes by other trades after we have sealed
Not sure which it is? You can speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will tell you honestly.

- Brick and block movement joints
- Cladding and panel joints
- Internal decorators’ caulk
- Floor and skirting junctions
- Sanitary and kitchen joints
- Window and door perimeters
Common problems we fix in Tiptree Heath
Three-sided adhesion is a frequent fault on new work. Fixed to three faces, the sealant rips the first time the joint opens, so depth is controlled with backing rod or bond-breaker tape.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- Existing joints on a refurb that need cutting out and resealing
- Bath and shower joints scraped during the final clean
- Internal caulk splitting as the building dries out
- Missed perimeter joints on a new elevation
New units and refits on sites such as Threshelfords Business Park (to the north of Tiptree Heath) need their panel and perimeter joints sealed to the specification.
