Mastic sealing in Cowley, done properly
Mastic Doctor has sealed joints on commercial and residential blocks since 2005. Every applicator holds a CSCS card, and the work is backed by public liability insurance. Each building we complete carries a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. If you are dealing with damaged joints in communal entrances and corridors and damp patches beside frames, we can help. Searching for sealant specialists in Cowley? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005, CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
For managing agents in Cowley, resident access, notice periods and the building’s rules shape the job. Work is planned with the agent so residents get notice and access is arranged in advance.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: twelve months on the work we carried out. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we’re upfront about that.

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 and less choice about when. Repeat call-outs disrupt occupied London buildings, so cutting the old sealant out fully and doing it right once is the better route.
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote and we will put a fixed figure on it.
Why us?
- Work to your specification and the manufacturer’s guidance
- Fixed quotes based on photos, drawings or a visit
- CSCS-carded applicators
- Constructionline member for supplier checks

Your questions answered
Do you take on jobs in Cowley where loading and access are tightly controlled?
Yes, most London buildings have access rules of some kind, and we plan around them. Say when the building is occupied and when it’s quiet, and we will plan accordingly.
Will you take on work at estates like Cowley Business Park, close to Cowley?
Yes. Our area takes in Cowley and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Cowley Business Park included. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Will you come and look before quoting?
It depends on the job. Straightforward work can often be priced from photos and measurements, while larger or less clear jobs get a site visit first.
What do you charge?
We don’t publish prices, as every site differs. Send photos or drawings and we will price it at a fixed figure.
When is resealing likely to be due?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
What guarantee do you give on resealing?
There is a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, backed by public liability insurance.
Is any job too small?
Single areas, one-off repairs and whole buildings are all quoted the same way: details, then a fixed price, then sealing, then a 12-month guarantee.
Looking after buildings in and around Cowley
For a London block, the agent or landlord typically handles notices to residents and access to flats. We work to your notice and access plan.
If you look after a block within reach of West Drayton station, which lies south of Cowley, frame and balcony mastic can be renewed on one programme. If you own or manage units on a site such as Cowley Business Park, which lies north-west of Cowley, failed mastic on frames, door surrounds and external joints can be dealt with unit by unit.

What we are called out for in Cowley
UV and rain age external sealant. The surface chalks, the body stiffens and cracks appear, especially on south and west faces.
Clients usually get in touch after noticing one or more of the following:
- Communal area joints that look neglected
- No planned programme for sealant
- Occupiers reporting cold air round windows
- Window mastic that has split and shrunk
Site managers at schools like Cowley St Laurence CofE Primary School can fit frame mastic into the summer works.
Questions to ask before you book
- How joint depth will be controlled
- Their public liability cover
- What site paperwork they can supply
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
Maintenance after handover
For the best life from the joints:
- Check sealant joints during planned building inspections
- Group repairs into a planned programme
- List the paperwork your organisation requires when you send details
- Share the asbestos register when you send details
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.
Leaks at window perimeters spoil finishes and can affect frames. Resealing early keeps the job small.
Quoting for work in Cowley
Each job is priced on its own details. The main factors are:
- How much existing material needs removing
- The product specified
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
We don’t publish prices, since every building and every scope is different. For a fixed figure, call for a quote and we will price your job on its own details.
Details that help us quote
We can often quote from photographs and a few details. It helps to include:
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- The product your specification calls for
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- What the building is and how it’s used
A good quote starts with a clear picture: the joints involved, quantities, access and the product called for. Share whatever details you have and we’ll fill any gaps with a visit.

Owners, agents and contractors
For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor on new-build and refurbishment projects. Programme, specification and site rules come first, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
As a CHAS accredited contractor and Constructionline member, we make supplier vetting simple. Our insurance certificate can be sent along with the quote.
On site: what to expect
Site rules come first: sign-in, induction and whatever permit system the building uses. Once we are cleared to begin, we take the joints in the sequence agreed with you, and each area is checked before we leave it. Most London premises stay occupied while we are on site, so we agree zones and timings with the building or facilities manager. Phased work keeps the rest of the building in use.
- Each block or building is walked and the failed joints recorded with the likely cause.
- You get a fixed quote, priced per building where that helps your budgeting.
- The programme is fixed with you, including dates you can pass on to residents or tenants.
- Failed mastic is removed and the faces taken back to sound, dry material.
- Deep joints get backing rod, faces are primed if the manufacturer specifies it, then the joint is sealed and tooled.
- Each building is checked on completion and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Tell staff and tenants when we will be in
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Confirm the product named in the specification
Ask for a quote
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price against exactly what is specified. For smaller jobs, photographs and a description will do.
