What the job involves on each 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.
Bathrooms, en suites and washrooms
In bathrooms and washrooms, an anti-mould sanitary silicone goes around every fitting. Each joint is prepared, sealed and finished with a neat tooled line and baths are loaded where appropriate before sealing.
About our construction mastic in Wick Hill
Refurbishment work needs a slightly different approach from new build. Old beads come out completely, as fresh silicone can’t grip old, and on older buildings we ask for the asbestos survey before disturbing anything. New and existing joints then get the same preparation. If you have existing joints on a refurb that need cutting out and resealing and caulk cracking where joints are moving more than expected, we can help, whatever the surface. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Wick Hill? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005, with CSCS-carded applicators.
Conversions around smaller places like Wick Hill often join new frames to old masonry or timber, and the sealant at those junctions has to cope with two materials that move differently, in a colour the planners or architect are happy with.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: twelve months on the work we carried out. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

Questions about Wick Hill
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Heatherwood Hospital, something you do?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Is Bracknell Enterprise Centre, near Wick Hill, within your area?
Yes. We cover Wick Hill and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Bracknell Enterprise Centre. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
What about RAMS and site documents?
Each site asks for different documents, so list what you need, whether RAMS, insurance or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm with the quote.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
It can, for external work. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Internal work is far less affected.
What does a mastic package typically include?
Window and door perimeters, internal decorators’ caulk where specified, sanitary joints, kitchens, movement joints and snagging. The scope follows your specification.
How long does a job like this take?
That varies with the scale of the job, though a typical visit usually takes a day or two on a small fit-out and several weeks on a large multi-storey package. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we will give you a timescale with the quote.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance.
On site: what to expect
We bring the products specified for the job, along with primers and backing rod. Joint faces are cleaned back to sound, dry surfaces, primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, and the sealant is tooled off neatly. What matters most for a job in Wick Hill is a clear list of what needs doing, so send photographs of each area. A fixed quote follows.
- We walk the site or review drawings to understand the package.
- You receive a fixed quote covering scope, products and sequence.
- Site paperwork is confirmed and our CSCS-carded applicators are inducted.
- Sealing follows the programme as areas are released.
- Any frame gaps or issues outside our scope are flagged to the site team.
- Final snagging is completed and the 12-month guarantee applies.
Getting the site ready
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use

Why act early in Wick Hill
Leaving mastic to whichever trade is fitting the element can look cheaper on paper. In practice it often means different standards, gaps in responsibility and snags nobody owns. A single mastic package gives one point of responsibility, with the same standard on every plot. Sealant hardens, cracks and loses grip with age, UV and movement. Renewing it in good time keeps the building weathertight.
A quote for mastic packages depends on quantities, condition and access, and any specification that applies. Call for a quote.

When to call us in Wick Hill
Frames installed with uneven gaps make perimeter sealing harder. Every product has limits on how wide a joint it can bridge and gaps beyond it need packing or adjusting by the frame installer. Better to raise it at the start than seal a joint that’s bound to fail.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- Snag items on joints that need redoing before handover
- Early adhesion failures on new external joints
- Cracks opening in caulked internal joints
- Perimeter gaps outside the sealant’s range
Recladding or extending a unit at a site like Bracknell Enterprise Centre (to the south-west of Wick Hill) brings panel joints and frame perimeters into the programme.
What to look for in a quote
- How long is the guarantee, and what does it include?
- Are they CHAS accredited or on Constructionline?
- Proof of insurance
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Certain joints really need a specialist: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
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.
After the work
Regular inspection catches problems early. Specifically:
- Stick to the specified sealant rather than a generic substitute
- Brief the final clean team to avoid blades near sealant
- Check frame gaps are within the sealant’s range before sealing
- Note which sealant went where at handover
At handover, keep the product details with the O&M information. Future maintenance is easier when the products are known and avoids guesswork when joints are renewed. We can confirm the handover information you need when we quote.
Sanitary joints that fail early become defects soon after occupation. Leaks behind showers and basins damage finishes and floors, and the repair falls into the defects period. Getting the product and preparation right first time avoids that.
Construction mastic in Wick Hill: the local picture
Rainfall across the South East, Wick Hill included, is lower than in many 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. There are plenty of hotels within about 2 miles of Wick Hill. Hotel schemes tend to have fixed reopening dates, so the mastic is programmed tightly with the other trades.
For contractors on a campus like Imperial College Silwood Park Campus (4.1 miles east of Wick Hill), facade and perimeter sealing has to fit around students and term dates. Further education sites such as Newbold College of Higher Education (to the west of Wick Hill) are extended and refurbished from time to time, with mastic often programmed into the summer break.
