Share the site address and what’s failing, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote or arrange a visit.
How the quote is worked out
To price the job, we consider:
- How accessible the joints are
- Travel to remote or island sites
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Phasing around occupants
We don’t publish prices, since every building and every scope is different. Call for a quote and we’ll price your job on its own details.
Sending details for a quote
However big the job, these details speed things up:
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- The type of building and who uses it
- Specification clauses that apply
- The site address and postcode
Need a figure for a tender or a budget? Send the scope and any drawings, and we’ll return a fixed quote you can plan around. For a chat about it beforehand, call the office on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form.
How we handle mastic sealing in Astrope
Managing agents and housing associations typically need paperwork before anyone starts. Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, with public liability insurance. If you are dealing with worn sealant at communal door frames and failed external movement joints, we can help, on communal kitchens and washrooms, window and door perimeters on blocks and communal entrances and stairwells alike. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Astrope? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005.
In and around smaller places like Astrope, landlords and agents often look after small groups of housing association properties, converted farm buildings and community buildings. Mastic around frames and on external joints wears out in time, whatever the building.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: preparation, application and finish. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

Advice
Why act early in Astrope
Adding sealant to cyclical maintenance is an easy win. Leaving it until there’s a leak turns it into reactive work and less choice about when. Converted and older buildings near places like Astrope tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. A sealant with the right movement capability, correctly sized, lasts far better.
Every site prices differently: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.
Why us?
- RAL and finish matching where the product range allows
- CSCS-carded applicators
- Fully insured

How the job changes by surface
Window and door perimeters on blocks
We usually work through a block’s windows in a planned order. Access is agreed with you before the quote is fixed.
Communal areas
Joints at low level in communal areas take knocks from bins, bikes and buggies, so they often need renewing sooner.

When something else is needed
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Masonry that has broken away beside the joint
- Water coming in from the roof or rainwater goods
- Broken glass or failed sealed units
If in doubt, ring 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we seal
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- Balcony and threshold joints
- External wall and movement joints
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
Maintenance after handover
Regular inspection catches problems early. Specifically:
- Share the asbestos register when you send details
- Make it easy for occupiers to report draughts
- List the paperwork your organisation requires when you send details
- Make mastic part of routine maintenance checks
Protect entrance and corridor joints from knocks where possible. Damage at low level is the most common reason communal joints fail early.
Leaks at window perimeters spoil finishes and can affect frames. Early resealing is far simpler than repairs inside.
