Mastic sealing for Aldershot sites

How we handle mastic sealing in Aldershot
Older blocks and commercial buildings can have mastic that contains asbestos. We check the asbestos register or survey before any old sealant is cut out and if it’s suspected, work stops until it’s tested. Removing asbestos-containing material isn’t something we do. We work on shopfronts below residential blocks, window and door perimeters on blocks and communal entrances and stairwells, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are window mastic that has split and shrunk and open joints in brickwork or panels. Searching for sealant specialists in Aldershot? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005, with CSCS-carded applicators.
Housing associations in towns like Aldershot often run planned maintenance by estate or by block. Work can move block by block, with you handling resident notices.
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.

Looking after the joints
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. Specifically:
- Include mastic in your cyclical inspections
- Keep a record of when each building was resealed
- List the paperwork your organisation requires when you send details
- Plan resealing building by building rather than complaint by complaint
Include sealant in planned building inspections. Watch for splits, open gaps, hard or chalky surfaces and mastic pulling away and record where they are.
Water getting in round frames can damage plaster, decoration and the frames themselves. Early resealing is far simpler than repairs inside.

Common problems we fix in Aldershot
Occasionally the substrate fails, not the sealant, such as crumbling render, brick arrises or frame edges. We will tell you if the joint edges need repairing before resealing.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- Brittle perimeter mastic across a building
- Draught complaints from residents or tenants
- Damaged joints in communal entrances and corridors
- Movement joints with sealant missing
Churches, halls and community buildings such as Church of the Holy Trinity are looked after by trustees and committees like any other owner, and their frames, doors and external joints need mastic renewed in time.
Questions to ask before you book
- Their plan for phasing and protecting the area
- The named product and why it was chosen
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
- What site paperwork they can supply

Leave it or put it right?
Resealing ahead of leaks keeps it to a maintenance task. After water has got in, there may be damp, damaged plaster or decoration to put right too and occupiers notice. In a town like Aldershot, a split, stained or mouldy joint is often the first thing visitors notice. Renewing it keeps the building looking cared for.
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote and we’ll put a fixed figure on it.

FAQs: Aldershot
Can work in a care setting near Aldershot go ahead while residents are there?

What about access for upper-floor joints?
Every block is different. How upper joints are reached is agreed before work is booked so there are no surprises.
How long do sealant joints last?
There isn’t a single answer, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
Do you do block-wide mastic programmes?
Yes. We survey and price each building, then work through them in order, and the programme can start with the worst.
