Doing it in-house
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but larger jobs are different: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
The visible bead is only part of the job. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are where general trades tend to cut corners.
Construction mastic in Whippendell Bottom
On a new build, the mastic package is one of the last trades through each area. Mastic Doctor takes on mastic packages for main contractors and developers on schemes in Whippendell Bottom, sealing plot by plot or floor by floor as areas are released. Most enquiries involve mastic snags holding up handover and caulk cracking where joints are moving more than expected, across floor and skirting junctions, cladding and panel joints and sanitary and kitchen joints. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, in Whippendell Bottom it comes down to the same thing: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Around smaller places like Whippendell Bottom, building work normally means conversions of farm buildings, a few new houses or an extension to a hall or school. Perimeters, facade joints and internal sealant all need doing properly, however small the scheme.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we are clear about what is covered before work starts.

Maintenance after handover
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Share drawings and the specification as soon as possible
- Note which sealant went where at handover
- Stick to the specified sealant rather than a generic substitute
- Bring the mastic contractor in after the last trades are through
Expect some settlement in the first months. The right product in each joint copes with that. If that happens, let us know.
Oversized gaps are a problem better caught early. Filling a wide gap with sealant alone sets up a failure, so the installer needs to correct it first. We flag them as soon as we see them.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
Working in a building that stays open takes some planning. We sign and contain the area we are in, with routes through the building left open and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use. For work around Whippendell Bottom, we aim to finish in one visit, so photos and measurements up front really help. That way the right products come on the day.
- We walk the site or review drawings to understand the package.
- A fixed quote sets out scope, products and phasing.

Why deal with it now?
It helps to bring the mastic subcontractor in before the package is urgent. Early involvement means gaps, products and access are sorted before the programme bites rather than at the snagging stage. Called in at the end, the same issues surface during handover. Halls, stores and units around places like Whippendell Bottom may not be checked every day, so a failed joint can leak for a while before anyone sees it. Resealing early avoids that.
There’s no price list, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. For a fixed figure, call for a quote and we will price your job on its own details.
Why appoint us
- Fixed quotes based on photos, drawings or a visit
- Fully insured, including public liability cover
- Colours confirmed for the specified product
- Workmanship guaranteed for 12 months

What sealant work can’t fix
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we’re upfront when that’s the case. It won’t fix:
- Defective windows, doors or glazing units (the supplier or installer’s job)
- Joints damaged after sign-off by following trades
- Frame gaps too wide for sealant, which the installer needs to correct

Surface by surface
External facade and movement joints
Movement joints in the facade are sealed with a product suited to the expected movement. Depth is controlled with backing rod so the bead bonds to two sides only.
Bathrooms, en suites and washrooms
Sanitary joints around baths, showers, basins and WCs need anti-mould sanitary silicone. Each joint is prepared, sealed and finished with a neat tooled line.
