About our mastic sealing in Broughton
Managing agents and housing associations usually 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’re a Constructionline member and CHAS accredited, and we carry public liability insurance. We work on communal kitchens and washrooms, external wall and movement joints and shopfronts below residential blocks, and the failures we are asked to look at most are worn sealant at communal door frames and repeated reactive repairs to the same buildings. Searching for sealant specialists in Broughton? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005, CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
Travel to smaller places like Broughton is planned so several buildings can be done on one trip. A list of addresses and photographs lets us quote for them together.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we’re clear about what is covered before work starts.

Commercial clients in Broughton
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. We phase the work so people keep access, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
If you look after buildings for someone else, you need clear quotes and clear reporting. We quote a fixed sum, confirm the scope and walk the finished work with you or your representative.
For owners and agents in Broughton

Owners near Broughton can renew frame and external mastic block by block on one programme. Trustees of buildings like Broughton Parish Church can bring frame and external mastic into a planned maintenance list.

Looking after the joints
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Share these points with them:
- Ask residents or tenants to report leaks and draughts early
- Check the asbestos register before any old mastic is disturbed
- Keep a record of when each building was resealed
- 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.
Water getting in round frames can damage plaster, decoration and the frames themselves. Early resealing is far simpler than repairs inside.
How a job runs
Occupied buildings need a little choreography. We sign and contain the area we are in, with routes through the building left open and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use. Tell us who will meet us and how to get in at your building near Broughton. That goes into the plan alongside the quote.
- A building-by-building inspection lists the failed joints.
- The quote is fixed and split as suits you.
- We agree the programme and dates with you.
- Failed sealant is removed and the faces prepared.
- New sealant goes in with backing rod and primer where needed.
- We check the finished work and confirm the guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
Quotes
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we will price against exactly what is specified. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photographs and a few notes.

Leave it or put it right?
Dealing with failed joints one report at a time is slow and scattered. Planned resealing covers a whole building or estate in one go and is simpler to manage and budget. Around smaller places like Broughton, halls, stores and seasonal buildings may not be checked often, so a failed joint has time to cause damage. Resealing early avoids that.
No two sites price the same: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.
Why appoint us
- A range of standard colours, depending on the product

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Redoing a failed joint usually costs more than getting it right at the outset, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
Some joints are best left to specialists: for example fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong usually costs more in the end than doing them right.
Broughton: questions and answers
What site paperwork comes with a job in Broughton?
Whatever your site asks for, from RAMS to CSCS details, is confirmed when we quote. Our applicators are CSCS-carded, and we carry £5m public liability insurance.
Will you price a mastic programme across our Broughton portfolio?
Yes. Portfolio-wide programmes are a regular request. Send the addresses and photographs and we will give a fixed quote.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and the quote will be based on it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
Can you take on resealing for a block portfolio?
Yes, block and estate work is a core part of what we do. We work through buildings in a planned order with dates agreed in advance.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. CHAS accredited, Constructionline member, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
Can weather delay the job?
For external joints, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Inside work is seldom held up.
