Mastic sealing in Broadley Common, done properly
Across Broadley Common and the rest of Essex, we work the same way: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed. Addresses, photographs of typical joints and a rough idea of quantities let us give a quick quote or we can visit. Site teams most often ask us about old repairs sealed over failed mastic and complaints coming in block by block, across communal entrances and stairwells, external wall and movement joints and communal kitchens and washrooms. Searching for sealant specialists in Broadley Common? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005, with CSCS-carded applicators.
Owners and agents with buildings around smaller places such as Broadley Common tend to manage small terraces of association properties, converted barns and commercial units. Frame and wall-joint mastic on all of them ages and hardens.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: preparation, application and finish. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

How the job changes by surface
Window and door perimeters on blocks
On most blocks, the frame-to-wall joint is where failure shows first. Old perimeter mastic is removed, the joint prepared and new sealant tooled in.
Planned maintenance
Mastic wears out like any building component; how fast comes down to movement, weather, UV and the product. Regular inspection is the best way to plan resealing.

Cost factors for mastic joints
Before we quote, we look at:
- How much there is to seal
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- How accessible the joints are
- Travel to remote or island sites
Every site prices differently: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.
Before you send an enquiry
However big the job, these details speed things up:
- The type of building and who uses it
- Any dates the work must fit around
- Any specification or named product
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
Every job follows the same four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. The first step is to call the office on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos with what you know.
Aftercare for building managers
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. We suggest:
- Share the asbestos register when you send details
- Prioritise elevations facing the weather
- Check sealant joints during planned building inspections
- Reduce knocks to communal area joints
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.
One failed perimeter usually means others on the same building are close so a single failure is a sign to check the rest. Doing them together saves going back again and again.
What happens if it’s left?
Adding sealant to cyclical maintenance is an easy win. Leaving it until there’s a leak turns it into reactive work with less control over timing. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Broadley Common. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
The price depends on how many linear metres there are, what has to come out first and the access. Call for a fixed quote once you have the details.

Signs you need mastic sealing in Broadley Common
Buildings move with temperature and moisture, and the sealant takes up that movement. A joint that was too narrow, too thin or the wrong product can’t cope long before it should.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Complaints coming in block by block
- Occupiers reporting cold air round windows
- Water getting in round frames after rain
- Window mastic that has split and shrunk
If your remit includes a building such as Water Lane Primary Academy, frame and door mastic can be programmed for the holidays.
Before you book anyone
- Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
- The terms of the workmanship guarantee
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
Diagnose, treat, sign off
On arrival, we sign in, go through any site induction and check how permits are handled. Everything around the joints gets protected before anything is cut or cleaned, with the work itself usually taking one or more days per building, depending on the joint lengths and the access. For work around Broadley Common, we aim to finish in one visit, so we ask for photos and rough sizes first. That way the right products come on the day.
- First comes a look at the joints and, for older buildings, the asbestos records.
- The products and programme are set out in a fixed quote.
- Failed mastic is removed completely.
- Joint faces are cleaned, backed and resealed.
- Buildings are completed in turn.
Preparing the site
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Confirm the product named in the specification

Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints are often enough for a fixed quote. Where a site visit makes more sense, we’ll arrange one.
