Cost factors for mastic joints
We price every job individually. The things that drive the figure:
- Distance, for remote addresses
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- Removal of failed or old sealant
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote and we’ll put a fixed figure on it.
What to include in your enquiry
Good information means a firmer quote. Helpful details to send:
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- When you need the work done
A handful of photos and a postcode is the fastest way to a quote. Upload them with the quote form, or give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email the details over to discuss it first.
Mastic sealing in Burcott, done properly
Mastic Doctor has sealed joints on commercial and residential blocks since 2005. Every applicator holds a CSCS card and we hold public liability insurance. Resealed mastic joints in Burcott carry our 12-month guarantee. We work on balcony and threshold joints, shopfronts below residential blocks and communal entrances and stairwells, and what we’re called in for most is patchy repairs in mismatched sealant and worn sealant at communal door frames. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Burcott first comes to us: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
In and around smaller places like Burcott, 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.

Our process
Inspect, seal, sign off: that’s the shape of every visit. First comes an inspection and agreement on scope, then we prepare and seal each joint with the specified product, and the job ends with a walk round and sign-off. Smaller jobs around Burcott can be grouped with others nearby, which keeps travel down. You will have a fixed quote before work starts.
- First we look at the mastic on each building and note what needs replacing.
- A fixed quote follows, split by block or building if that suits you.
- 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.
- Completed joints are inspected and carry a 12-month workmanship guarantee.
What we need from you
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- Flag any permit to work we’ll need

Advice
FAQs: Burcott
Will you work in a care home in Burcott without moving residents out?
Yes. We work around residents’ routines, a room or two at a time. Tell us about any infection-control or safeguarding requirements and we’ll work to them.
Is Burcott too small for you to travel to?
No. Places such as Burcott are covered as much as the big towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
What do you charge?
That depends on the job: the volume of work, the access, the specified product and how it’s phased. Call for a fixed quote.
Is mastic sealing guaranteed?
Our workmanship carries a 12-month guarantee and we hold public liability insurance.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No, never. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so it all comes out first.
Can weather delay the job?
For external joints, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Internal work is rarely affected.
Do you do block-wide mastic programmes?
Yes, planned programmes suit estates and portfolios. You get a fixed quote per building or for the whole job.
Leave it or put it right?
Open external joints let water into walls and around frames. That can lead to damp, staining and damage to finishes, which is harder to deal with than resealing. Halls, stores and units around places like Burcott may not be checked every day, which gives a failed joint time to do damage. Resealing early avoids that.
What a job costs comes down to the quantity of joints, how much old material needs removing and how the joints are reached. Call for a fixed quote once you have the details.

Looking after the joints
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Share your contractor requirements early
- Encourage occupiers to report problems at frames
- Plan resealing building by building rather than complaint by complaint
- Track which buildings were done and when
Our workmanship is covered for 12 months, so report any failure in that time. Beyond that, routine checks spot the next round of repairs.
The longer failed joints are left, the more likely the substrate edges break up. Once that happens, repairs come before resealing.
Different surfaces, different methods
Planned maintenance
Planned resealing replaces emergency callouts and spreads the work.
Estate-wide resealing programmes
Priority order can follow condition, complaints or your maintenance plan. Quotes can be per block or for the full programme.
