Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
How a job runs
Before we leave any area, the masking comes off, the area is cleaned and every joint is checked with your site contact. If an area should be left alone while the sealant cures, we say how long and put signs out. For work around Tendring, we aim to finish in one visit, so we ask for photos and rough sizes first. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- We look at the joints, the drawings and the access before pricing.
- 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.
- The completed runs are checked with you, then the 12-month guarantee applies.
Before we start on site
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Tell staff and tenants when we will be in

Facade sealing for commercial buildings in Tendring
We don’t install glazing systems or replace glass. We handle the sealant joints that surround those elements: the frame-to-structure perimeter, panel-to-panel joints and window and door surrounds, using sealants classified for facade or glazing use. We work on window and door perimeters, shopfront frames and stone and brick facade joints, and what we’re called in for most is staining on stone next to old sealant and water coming in around window frames. Searching for sealant specialists in Tendring? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005, with CSCS-carded applicators.

Facades, frames and programmes in Tendring
Central London is about 58 miles from Tendring. Construction around the commuter belt mixes station-side flats with refurbished offices and units, which keeps mastic packages in demand. 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.
Historic houses such as Thorpe Hall, 2.8 miles to the south-east of Tendring, are a reminder of the older buildings in the wider area, where sealing against old stone, brick or timber needs compatible products. School extensions, at buildings such as Tendring Primary School, normally run to the summer holidays, mastic included. New units and refits on sites such as Oak Business Park (to the east of Tendring) need their panel and perimeter joints sealed to the specification.
Tendring is about 5 miles north of Clacton-on-Sea, in Essex. We send applicators to Tendring for facade joints. Across Essex, 644 places are covered, including Tendring. For work in that direction, see our London page (58 miles or so).

Doing it in-house
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, which is what makes a joint last.
There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
FAQs: Tendring
Does your area include sites such as Oak Business Park, near Tendring?
Yes, sites like Oak Business Park are within our area, along with the rest of Tendring. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Can you keep pace with our programme in Tendring?
Yes. Send the programme and drawings, and we will plan the mastic to suit the stages. Any paperwork you need, from RAMS to our insurance certificate and CSCS details, is confirmed with the quote.
Which sealant will you use?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
Can staff carry on working while you are here?
Yes, as long as we plan it. We agree a sequence with your contact so just one area at a time is disrupted.
What site paperwork can you supply?
Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote.
Will rain stop the work?
Wet joints or temperatures outside the product’s range mean waiting. We plan for weather and keep you updated.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
It can, when the joints are outside. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Internal work is far less affected.
When it isn’t the sealant
A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. You will hear from us if the cause turns out to be any of the following:
- Damaged frames that need replacing
- Movement beyond what any sealant can handle
- Work on the window or framing system itself
If you are not sure, just ring 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What else we do in Tendring
Keeping the joints sound
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. We suggest:
- Plan facade sealing alongside redecoration
- Clear debris that holds water against joints
- Keep the sealant details on the building file
- Brief window cleaners about newly sealed joints
Anything drilled through a facade joint breaks the seal. Make sure the joint is resealed afterwards.
In pre-2000 buildings, check the asbestos register before old sealant is cut out. Older sealants can contain asbestos.
What the job involves on each surface
Precast concrete panels
Precast arrises sometimes crumble or carry old residue. Faces are cleaned to sound concrete, and damaged edges are reported first.
Brick and stone facades
Stone can absorb plasticisers from the wrong sealant. We use a product suitable for the stone where the specification names one, and mask the edges carefully.
Work for main contractors and building owners
We take on planned maintenance as well as one-off repairs: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. Tendring can form part of a wider programme.
Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor on new-build and refurbishment projects. Programme, specification and site rules come first.
