About our mastic sealing in Chilson
Older blocks and commercial buildings can have mastic that contains asbestos. Before we disturb it, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey, and work stops for testing if there’s any doubt. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials. If you’re dealing with draught complaints from residents or tenants and damp patches beside frames, we can put it right, whatever the surface. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Chilson? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005.
In and around smaller places like Chilson, landlords and agents often look after small groups of housing association properties, converted farm buildings and community buildings. Frame and wall-joint mastic on all of them ages and hardens.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work. Should something we installed fail, phone 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will come back to it.

Planned mastic for Chilson portfolios
Rainfall across the South East, Chilson included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Outside mastic still needs a dry joint and the right temperature, and the sunniest, most exposed sides of a building typically need attention first. Chilson lies roughly 67 miles out from central London. Around the capital’s commuter belt, managing agents look after many blocks close to stations and town centres.
Landlords with units on estates such as Southill Business Park, 2.7 miles to the south-east of Chilson, can bring frame, door and external mastic across several units into one programme. Older community buildings, Church of All Saints among them, often have frames of mixed ages whose mastic varies.

Questions about Chilson
Does your area include sites such as Southill Business Park, near Chilson?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Chilson, Southill Business Park among them, are all within reach. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.
Is Chilson too far out for you?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. London and every South East county are within our area. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
How long do sealant joints last?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
Can people stay in the building while you reseal?
The work is planned around occupiers. Dates and areas are agreed with you so residents or tenants can be told, and entrances stay in use.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance, and we raise anything unclear before work begins.
Which sealant will you use?
The specification comes first, if there is one. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
Is asbestos a concern with old mastic?
We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials. If old sealant is suspected, work stops until it’s tested in line with the dutyholder’s asbestos management.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Paperwork matters too. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are where general trades tend to cut corners.
Keeping the joints sound
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Group repairs into a planned programme
- Have the asbestos survey to hand for older buildings
- Make mastic part of routine maintenance checks
- Reduce knocks to communal area joints
If a joint we sealed fails within 12 months, tell us and we will look at it. Beyond that, routine checks spot the next round of repairs.
Leaks at window perimeters spoil finishes and can affect frames. Early resealing is far simpler than repairs inside.
Cost factors for mastic joints
The price varies from site to site. Expect it to depend on:
- How much there is to seal
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- How accessible the joints are
- Distance, for remote addresses
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
However big the job, the same details help:
- The product your specification calls for
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
A handful of photos and a postcode is the fastest way to a quote. Upload them with the quote form, or phone 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form to discuss it first.
From enquiry to sign-off
Working in a building that stays open takes some planning. We sign and contain the area we’re in, with routes through the building left open and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use. Smaller jobs around Chilson can be grouped with others nearby, which keeps travel down. You will have a fixed quote before work starts.

Do you need mastic sealing in Chilson?
Buildings move with temperature and moisture, and the sealant takes up that movement. If the joint or the product wasn’t suited to the movement, it splits long before it should.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- Failed external movement joints
- Cracked, hardened mastic round windows on a block
- A mix of products and colours from past repairs
- Damp patches beside frames
Buildings close to stations like Ascott-Under-Wychwood station (to the west of Chilson) are often flats over shops, with frame mastic to keep sound.
What to look for in a quote
- How joint depth will be controlled
- Their plan for phasing and protecting the area
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
