Mastic sealing across Chorleywood
Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
How the quote is worked out
To price the job, we consider:
- How much there is to seal
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Travel to remote or island sites
We don’t publish prices, since every building and every scope is different. Call for a quote.
What to include in your enquiry
To price the job accurately, we need to understand the site. Send us:
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- The product your specification calls for
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
Every quote starts with the facts: what’s there, how much of it, how we reach it and what’s specified. Send what you have, and we’ll arrange a site visit if anything is unclear.
Mastic sealing in Chorleywood, done properly
There isn’t one mastic for every joint on a building. Low-modulus neutral-cure silicone suits many window perimeters and external movement joints, while hybrid polymer sealants grip many materials and are often paintable, and colours are confirmed for whichever product is used. We work on window and door perimeters on blocks, communal entrances and stairwells and communal kitchens and washrooms, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are mastic failing across several blocks on an estate and no planned programme for sealant. Searching for sealant specialists in Chorleywood? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005.
For landlords and associations with stock in and around Chorleywood, grouping buildings into one visit saves travel. Send the addresses and photographs and we’ll quote for all of them together.
We stand behind the joints we seal: 12 months, guaranteed. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant, and we come back if anything isn’t right.

What we can’t put right
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Asbestos-containing sealant, which we don’t remove
- Glazing that needs replacing
- Cracked or crumbling render, brick or stone at the joint edges (we will tell you if so)
If you’re not sure, just phone 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- Communal kitchens and washrooms

Tenants in commercial buildings need to keep trading so the work is phased.
Common questions from Chorleywood clients
Will you work in a care home in Chorleywood without moving residents out?
Yes, with the manager deciding the order and timing of rooms. Tell us about any infection-control or safeguarding requirements and we’ll work to them.
Is Chorleywood too small for you to travel to?
No. Places such as Chorleywood are covered as much as the big towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Do you need to see the site first?
Photos, drawings or a schedule are often enough to quote. If the job needs a look first, we’ll arrange a visit before quoting.
How long does a typical visit take?
It depends on the scope, though a typical visit normally takes anything from a day to a few weeks, depending on the number of buildings and joints. For bigger or phased jobs, we will set out a timescale with the quote.
Who decides which product is used?
The specification comes first, if there is one. Without one, the joint decides: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
Do you take on small jobs?
We quote for single jobs as well as large packages and programmes. Photos and a description are enough to start.
How much does the work cost?
Every job gets its own fixed quote. For yours, call the office on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form.
Frames, entrances and external joints in Chorleywood
Chorleywood lies roughly 20 miles out from central London. Commuter-belt towns tend to have plenty of managed blocks near stations and town centres. Chorleywood is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. Outside work still depends on dry joints, and elevations facing the sun and the prevailing weather are normally where frame mastic ages first.
If your remit includes a building such as Christ Church Chorleywood CofE School, frame and door mastic can be programmed for the holidays. With historic buildings such as Chenies Manor House, 2.1 miles north-west of Chorleywood, in the wider area, owners of older properties around Chorleywood should expect mastic to need a product that suits old masonry. Churches, halls and community buildings such as Christ Church are looked after by trustees and committees like any other owner, and their frames, doors and external joints need mastic renewed in time.

Related advice
After the work
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Pass these on to them:
- Check sealant joints during planned building inspections
- Ask residents or tenants to report leaks and draughts early
- Avoid piecemeal callouts where you can
- Reduce knocks to communal area joints
If paintable sealant was used, decoration can follow once it has cured. Non-paintable silicone shouldn’t be painted over.
Water getting in round frames can damage plaster, decoration and the frames themselves. Early resealing is far simpler than repairs inside.
