Common questions from Shenfield clients
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Brentwood Community Hospital, something you do?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Does your area include sites such as Warley Hill Business Park, near Shenfield?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Shenfield, Warley Hill Business Park among them, are all within reach. To start, just speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email the details over with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
When can you be on site?
Give us your site hours and any access windows in your enquiry, and we’ll plan around them. Our office runs Monday to Friday, 8am until 5pm.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, which helps with supplier vetting.
Is colour matching possible?
It depends on the product specified. Some ranges offer many colours, others very few, so the available colours are confirmed with the quote.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and we will price the work to it.
Do you take on multi-site work?
Yes. We take on portfolio and planned maintenance work, with each site phased to suit its occupants.
How we handle facade sealing in Shenfield
Facade sealants sit in the sun, rain and frost every day, so they don’t last indefinitely. Life depends on movement, weathering, product choice and the quality of the original work. When it fails, the whole bead is cut away and the joint rebuilt. The enquiries we see most involve patch repairs that keep failing and failed seals around shopfront and entrance frames, on cladding panel joints, window and door perimeters and perimeter joints where frames meet the structure. Most enquiries from Shenfield 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.
Building work in places the size of Shenfield is typically small-scale: a handful of new houses, barn conversions, a school or hall extension. Small schemes still need window perimeters, facade joints and internal sealant done to the specification.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we’re upfront about that.

From enquiry to sign-off
Where the site stays busy, the work is phased so only one area is out of use at a time. Each section is protected, cleaned back and sealed, then handed back before the next one starts. What matters most for a job in Shenfield is a clear list of what needs doing, so send photographs of each area. A fixed quote follows.
- First we review photos, drawings or what we saw on a visit, and agree how each joint will be reached.
- Failed sealant is cut out along its full length.
- Joint faces are cleaned to firm, sound material, with primer where the sealant maker specifies it.
- Backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints, limits the depth.
- The new sealant goes in and is tooled firmly onto both faces.
- We walk the finished joints with you before handing over.
Preparing the site
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions

Facades, frames and programmes in Shenfield
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. Shenfield lies roughly 20 miles out from central London. Building activity in the commuter belt runs from new flats near stations to business park refurbishments, so mastic packages have to keep pace with busy programmes.
Hotel extensions and refits, at places such as Brentwood Hotel, 1.3 miles south-west of Shenfield, normally run between busy periods, so the sealing is squeezed into short windows. New wings at hospitals like Brentwood Community Hospital, 0.5 miles south of Shenfield, bring long runs of window and panel joints to seal. Recladding or extending a unit at a site like Warley Hill Business Park (2 miles south-west of Shenfield) brings panel joints and frame perimeters into the programme.

Aftercare for building managers
After handover, these steps help:
- Keep sills, gutters and drainage paths clear
- Insist on a full cut-out when joints are renewed
- Don’t wait for a second leak before calling
- Ask about asbestos in pre-2000 mastic
Let the new sealant cure before washing the facade or windows near it. Keep high-pressure jets and strong chemicals away from new sealant and tell your cleaning contractor.
Planned resealing is cheaper than reacting to leaks. Inspect regularly and reseal sections as they start to fail.

Window and door perimeters
Frames grow and shrink with temperature, and the perimeter joint has to follow. The rod limits depth, leaving the bead able to flex without tearing.
Coping and flashing joints
Not every coping or flashing leak is a sealant problem. We tell you if the fix is a roofing or metalwork job rather than a reseal.
Doing it in-house
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint, which is what makes a joint last.
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.
Why deal with it now?
Every shower drives water through a split perimeter bead. The damage builds out of sight: wet linings, rusting fixings, staining and spoiled finishes. Resealing now costs less than repairing interiors later. A failed joint lets water into a building whatever its size. Catching it early means a reseal rather than repairs.
We don’t publish prices, 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.
