Mastic sealing for Bentfield Green sites
Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
When something else is needed
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It won’t put right:
- Roof leaks, gutters or failed flashings that aren’t sealant joints
- Frames that are rotten, warped or broken
- Asbestos-containing sealant, which we don’t remove
Not sure which it is? You can ring 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Mastic sealing in Bentfield Green, done properly
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. Most enquiries involve damp patches beside frames and damaged joints in communal entrances and corridors, on external wall and movement joints, balcony and threshold joints and window and door perimeters on blocks. Whoever orders the work in Bentfield Green, the brief is normally the same: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Around smaller places like Bentfield Green, older walls fitted with newer windows are a familiar sight. Perimeter mastic there has to grip an uneven face and suit the building’s character.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months, wherever the site is. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

Aftercare for building managers
For the best life from the joints:
- Ask residents or tenants to report leaks and draughts early
- Look at the sunniest and most exposed elevations first
- Protect low-level joints in entrances
- Avoid piecemeal callouts where you can
Keep bins, bikes and deliveries away from low-level joints where you can. Damage at low level is the most common reason communal joints fail early.
Joints on a building age together, so it pays to look at the whole elevation. A planned reseal saves repeated visits.
Bentfield Green: questions and answers
Is Riverside Business Park, near Bentfield Green, within your area?
Yes. Our area takes in Bentfield Green and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Riverside Business Park included. To start, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Will you work in a care home in Bentfield Green without moving residents out?
Yes, with the manager deciding the order and timing of rooms. Noise and disruption are kept to a minimum.
How do you choose the sealant?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. Without one, the joint decides: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
Do you work with property factors and landlords?
Yes, block and estate work is a core part of what we do. Buildings are scheduled in turn so you can plan around it.
How soon can the area be used again?
Curing time varies by product, and we confirm it on the day.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance, and any queries are raised before we start.
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.
What we’re called out for in Bentfield Green
The edges of the material itself sometimes break away for example where render or brick edges crumble. If the edges are unsound, we say so before quoting the sealing.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Brittle perimeter mastic across a building
- No planned programme for sealant
- Failed external movement joints
- Estate-wide sealant that is simply worn out
If your remit includes a building such as Bentfield Primary School, frame and door mastic can be programmed for the holidays.
What to look for in a quote
- How long is the guarantee, and what does it include?
- How joint depth will be controlled
- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?

Frames, entrances and external joints in Bentfield Green
The 2 miles around Bentfield Green include two care or nursing homes. Care home owners need frame and external mastic kept sound without unsettling residents. Bentfield Green sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. External mastic still waits for dry faces and the right temperature, while the elevations that take the most sun tend to show hardened mastic first.
If you own or manage units on a site such as Riverside Business Park, which lies south-east of Bentfield Green, failed mastic on frames, door surrounds and external joints can be dealt with unit by unit. Trustees of buildings like Church of St John the Evangelist can bring frame and external mastic into a planned maintenance list.

General trades versus a specialist
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. The usual problems come from preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but larger jobs are different: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
When we get to site, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Everything around the joints gets protected before any cutting starts, and the work typically takes a few days for most blocks, with larger programmes scheduled building by building. For work around Bentfield Green, we aim to finish in one visit, so we ask for photographs and rough sizes first. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- We inspect the joints, building by building, and record what has failed and why.
- You get a fixed quote, priced per building where that helps your budgeting.
- The programme is fixed with you, including dates you can pass on to residents or tenants.
- Old sealant is stripped and each face prepared back to firm material.
- Backing rod and primer go in as the joint requires, then the new bead is placed and tooled.
- Each building is checked on completion and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
