What sets the cost
What shapes the price:
- How accessible the joints are
- How much there is to seal
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Location, for remote and island sites
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well, along with the time of year for external work.
What to include in your enquiry
There’s no need for a formal survey. A few details are enough to get going:
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- The site address and postcode
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- Your programme or deadline

About our construction mastic in Woodland
Mastic is often where a new building first shows its quality to the client. Untidy or missed joints are among the commonest snag items and clearing them late eats into the handover window. Our aim is joints that pass at the first inspection. We work on internal decorators’ caulk, floor and skirting junctions and window and door perimeters, and what we are called in for most is a mastic package split between trades with no clear owner and internal caulk splitting as the building dries out. Most enquiries from Woodland start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
In the countryside around places like Woodland, conversion schemes put new frames into old stone, flint, brick or timber. A product that grips an irregular face, with a colour that suits the building’s character, is typically what’s needed.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: 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.

Our process
Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. On site, the work usually takes anything from a day of snagging to several weeks of plot-by-plot sealing on a phased scheme, and we clear our waste as we work. If others near Woodland need work, visits can be combined, which keeps travel down. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.
- Drawings, the sealant specification and your programme come to us for pricing.
- We return a fixed quote that ties the mastic package to your programme.
- You tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we confirm it with the quote.
- Areas are sealed plot by plot or floor by floor as the trades hand them over.
- Joints are cleaned, primed where the maker requires it, backed and sealed to the specification.
- Snags are cleared before handover and completed areas carry our 12-month guarantee.
Getting the site ready
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Make sure the joints can be reached

Common questions from Woodland clients
Can you work on a hospital site such as Royal Victoria Hospital?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Is a smaller place like Woodland outside your area?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Do you need to see the site first?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, drawings or a joint schedule. Where they aren’t, we arrange a site visit.
Will you quote for a small job?
Whatever the size, the process is the same: details, then a fixed price, then sealing, then a 12-month guarantee.
How long do sealant joints last?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
Can you seal external joints in wet or cold weather?
External sealing goes ahead only with a dry joint inside the product’s temperature range. Wet or cold joints cause adhesion problems, so we wait rather than redo work.
Keeping the joints sound
For the best life from the joints:
- Allow flexibility for external sealing in damp or cold weather
- Keep finished joints away from paint, plaster and scrapers
- Brief the final clean team to avoid blades near sealant
- Share drawings and the specification as soon as possible
After we’ve sealed an area, it helps to keep other trades from damaging the joints. Fresh sealant needs its cure time before it’s cleaned, painted near or knocked.
Sealing outside when the joint is damp or too cold leads to poor adhesion. Waiting for a dry joint and the right temperature is better than redoing work, so we plan external work with that in mind.
Signs you need construction mastic in Woodland
Wide, tapered or inconsistent gaps around frames are a common problem. Every product has limits on how wide a joint it can bridge, so gaps outside that range need sorting by the installer first. Better to raise it at the start than seal a joint that’s bound to fail.
Clients usually get in touch after noticing one or more of the following:
- Oversized or tapered gaps around new frames
- Bath and shower joints scraped during the final clean
- Caulk cracking where joints are moving more than expected
- Snag items on joints that need redoing before handover
School extensions, at buildings such as Lyminge Church of England Primary School, typically run to the summer holidays, mastic included.
What your quote should include
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
- How they’ll work around occupants
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
What the job involves on each surface
External facade and movement joints
External movement joints often need primer, depending on the substrate. We prime where the manufacturer specifies and work only when conditions suit.
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.
Construction mastic in Woodland: the local picture
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Winter mornings still bring frost and condensation on frames and panels, which is why external dates are agreed with the site manager. Central London is about 56 miles from Woodland. Towns within reach of London tend to keep building, from flats to offices and schools, and main contractors there need mastic that keeps to the programme.
With historic properties like Acrise Place, 2.9 miles to the east of Woodland, in the area, refurbishment work often meets old masonry that needs compatible sealants. On a healthcare site such as Royal Victoria Hospital (5.6 miles south-east of Woodland), new blocks and refurbishments go on while the hospital keeps running, so mastic work is sequenced carefully.
Woodland is about 4 miles north of Hythe, in Kent. If you’re looking for construction mastic in Woodland, we can help. Across Kent, 931 places are covered, Woodland among them. We also cover London, around 56 miles from Woodland.

When it isn’t the sealant
Being straight saves everyone time. New sealant won’t cure:
- Designing joint widths or choosing the specification (that sits with the designer)
- Oversized gaps that need packing or adjustment by others
- Fire-stopping design or sign-off (that’s for the designer, fire engineer and building control)
Not sure which it is? You can give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
