About our mastic sealing in Abbotswood
Mastic Doctor has sealed joints on commercial and residential blocks since 2005. Every applicator holds a CSCS card, and the work is backed by public liability insurance. Each building we complete carries a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. If you have communal area joints that look neglected and brittle perimeter mastic across a building, we can help, on external wall and movement joints, window and door perimeters on blocks and shopfronts below residential blocks alike. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Abbotswood tend to want the same three things: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
For landlords and associations with stock in and around Abbotswood, grouping buildings into one visit saves travel. One quote can cover a whole list of addresses.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we are clear about what is covered before work starts.

Maintenance after handover
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. Our advice:
- Ask residents or tenants to report leaks and draughts early
- Check sealant joints during planned building inspections
- Track which buildings were done and when
- Avoid piecemeal callouts where you can
If a joint we sealed fails within 12 months, tell us and we’ll look at it. After that, regular inspection keeps the programme on track.
The longer failed joints are left, the more likely the substrate edges break up. Then the edges may need repairing first and the job grows.
Why it’s worth doing now in Abbotswood
Leaving failed external joints lets water reach the structure behind. Damp patches, stained plaster and decorating claims can follow, which is harder to deal with than resealing. Sealant hardens, cracks and loses grip with age, UV and movement. Replacing it before it fails keeps water out.
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits.

Our process
A typical day starts with protection: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. On site, the work usually takes a few days for most blocks, with larger programmes scheduled building by building, and our waste is bagged and taken away as we go. What matters most for a job in Abbotswood is a clear list of what needs doing, so send photos of each area. You’ll then get a fixed price for the work.
- First comes a look at the joints and, for older buildings, the asbestos records.
- A fixed quote covers the joints, products and order of work.
- Failed mastic is removed completely.
- The joints are prepared and resealed with the right product.
- Buildings are completed in turn.
Preparing the site
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
Request a quote
Send us photographs, drawings or a joint schedule and a fixed quote comes back to you. Where a site visit makes more sense, we’ll arrange one.
Advice
When something else is needed
Honesty saves time and money. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- Cracked or crumbling render, brick or stone at the joint edges (we’ll tell you if so)
- Water coming in from the roof or rainwater goods
- Failed window or door frames, which need a window contractor
Not sure which it is? You can call the office on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Different surfaces, different methods
Window and door perimeters on blocks
Window and door perimeters are where most mastic failure shows. Old perimeter mastic is removed, the joint prepared and new sealant tooled in.
External movement joints
Brickwork, blockwork and panel joints let a building move. Once that sealant goes, rain can reach the wall.
