Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
Maintenance after handover
Once the work is signed off, a little attention goes a long way:
- Note which sealant went where at handover
- Don’t force external sealing on a damp or frosty day
- Keep finished joints away from paint, plaster and scrapers
- Don’t schedule sealing before decorators and flooring are done
If a joint is damaged after sealing, flag it early. Snags can be picked up in a planned close-out visit.
Sealing outside when the joint is damp or too cold leads to poor adhesion. Holding off until conditions suit avoids callbacks.
Construction mastic for commercial buildings in Totford
On a new build, the mastic package is one of the last trades through each area, so it lands at exactly the point the programme is tightest. Mastic Doctor takes on mastic packages for main contractors and developers with projects in Totford, following the trades through the building as rooms and elevations become ready. If you are dealing with mastic snags holding up handover and sanitary sealant damaged by following trades, we can put it right. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, in Totford it comes down to the same thing: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Conversions of older rural buildings near smaller places such as Totford bring stone, flint, brick and timber up against new glazing. A product that grips an irregular face, with a colour that suits the building’s character, is typically what’s needed.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: preparation, application and finish. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

Construction mastic in Totford: the local picture
At about 53 miles from central London, Totford is within reach of the capital. Commuter-belt towns tend to see a steady flow of new flats, offices and commercial schemes, and each scheme needs its mastic sealed to programme. 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.
On any site in or around Totford, the mastic follows the specification and the programme.
Totford is about 8 miles north-east of Winchester, in Hampshire. Across the SO24 postcode area, the process is the same: details in, fixed quote out, then sealing and a 12-month guarantee. We work across 723 places in Hampshire, large and small. For work in that direction, see our Southampton page, about 18 miles away.

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint.
The visible bead is only part of the job. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are where general trades tend to cut corners.
Do you need construction mastic in Totford?
Wide, tapered or inconsistent gaps around frames are a common problem. Sealant has a range of joint widths it can cope with, so gaps outside that range need sorting by the installer first. We flag them early rather than filling them with sealant that won’t last.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Perimeter gaps outside the sealant’s range
- External joints sealed in damp or cold conditions that are now failing
- Cracks opening in caulked internal joints
- A mastic package split between trades with no clear owner
Window perimeters and facade joints around Totford need correct width, depth and backing rod as much as a neat finish.
What your quote should include
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
- How they handle RAMS and site documents
Our process
Diagnose, treat, sign off: that’s the shape of every visit. We inspect the joints and confirm what’s in scope, then we prepare and seal each joint with the specified product, and we finish with a walk round so the work can be signed off. Jobs in and around smaller places like Totford are usually planned as a single visit, so photos and measurements up front really help. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- We start with the drawings, specification and programme.
- We take off quantities and return a fixed quote.
- The sequence is agreed with the site manager.
- Each area is sealed when it’s released.
- Joints are prepared, backed and sealed to the specification.
- Snags are cleared and the package signed off with our 12-month guarantee.
Getting the site ready
- Tell staff and tenants when we will be in
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Arrange parking or a loading space

If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we will price the work to it. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photographs and a few notes.

What we can’t put right
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. These need a different solution:
- Frame gaps too wide for sealant, which the installer needs to correct
- Joints damaged after sign-off by following trades
- Deciding which fire-stopping product a penetration needs
If you’re not sure, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What affects the price in Totford
These are the things that shape the price:
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Working within restricted access windows
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.

FAQs: Totford
What documents will you need to give us for a job in Totford?
We will 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.
Will you fit the mastic around our build programme in Totford?
Yes. The mastic is planned around your key 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 joints do you seal on a new build?
External perimeters and movement joints, internal caulking where specified, sanitary and kitchen joints, plus snagging.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
Can you handle several sites?
Yes. Several buildings can share a single quote, and you deal with one contact throughout across South East England, Greater London and Scotland.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
Managing asbestos is the dutyholder’s responsibility, so for older buildings we ask for the asbestos register first. Work pauses if suspect material is found, until it has been tested.
Can you fit around our programme?
Our work is sequenced around the programme. Each plot, floor or elevation is sealed when it’s ready and we tell you if something stops an area being sealed.
