What we’re called out for in Cranham
Poor preparation explains many failed joints. Where the faces weren’t cleaned or primed as specified it comes away from one face.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- Failed external movement joints
- Brittle perimeter mastic across a building
- Water getting in round frames after rain
- Damaged joints in communal entrances and corridors
If you look after a block within reach of Upminster station, which lies west of Cranham, frame and balcony mastic can be renewed on one programme.
Before you book anyone
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
- Their plan for phasing and protecting the area
Mastic sealing in Cranham, done properly
Mastic Doctor has sealed joints on commercial and residential blocks since 2005. Our applicators are CSCS-carded and we hold public liability insurance. Resealed mastic joints in Cranham carry our 12-month guarantee. If you are dealing with mastic failing across several blocks on an estate and a mix of products and colours from past repairs, we can put it right. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, in Cranham it comes down to the same thing: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
London has a large stock of purpose-built blocks, mansion flats and converted buildings managed by agents and housing associations. Mastic around windows, doors and balconies tends to fail across a whole block at a similar time.
We stand by our work with a 12-month guarantee. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant, and if something we did falls short, we return to it.

What else we do in Cranham
Commercial clients in Cranham
Agents, factors and owners’ representatives all follow the same route: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed. Keys, access and contacts can be agreed in advance.
As a CHAS accredited contractor and Constructionline member, we make supplier vetting simple. We’re fully insured, and our insurance certificate can go with the quote.
How the quote is worked out
These are the things that shape the price:
- Access and working height
- Which sealant the job calls for
- How much existing material needs removing
- Whether the work must be split into stages
No two sites price the same: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.
Before you send an enquiry
For an accurate fixed quote, we need to understand the site. Send us:
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- The type of building and who uses it
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
The quickest route to a quote is a few photographs and the site postcode. Upload them with the quote form, or speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email the details over if you’d rather talk the job through.
Aftercare for building managers
For the best life from the joints:
- Log resealing dates block by block
- Make mastic part of routine maintenance checks
- Look at the sunniest and most exposed elevations first
- Plan resealing building by building rather than complaint by complaint
Keep records of when each building was resealed. It helps plan the next round and gives you a history.
Mastic fails gradually, then all at once in a wet spell. Acting at the first signs keeps it a straightforward reseal and saves internal repairs.
Leave it or put it right?
Reacting to every complaint means sending someone out block by block. Planned resealing covers a whole building or estate in one go and is simpler to manage and budget. In Cranham, each extra visit means more notices, permits and disruption, so a proper job first time, with the old sealant fully removed, is worth it.
Pricing mastic joints depends on quantities, condition and access, and any specification that applies. Call for a quote.

- Coloured sealants to suit the setting, where available

Questions about Cranham
Do you work in London buildings with loading restrictions?
Yes. Booked loading bays, goods lifts and permit-to-work systems are normal for London jobs. The building manager’s rules go straight into our method. The ULEZ covers the whole of Greater London, which we allow for
Is Childerditch Industrial Park, near Cranham, within your area?
Yes. Our area takes in Cranham and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Childerditch Industrial Park included. A few photos and the unit address let us price the work.
Do you take on small jobs?
Whatever the size, the process is the same: details, then a fixed price, then sealing, then a 12-month guarantee.
Do you cover Cranham?
Yes. Cranham falls within our area, and you can speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings to get started.
Can you quote from photographs?
It depends on the job. Simple work can often be priced from photographs, and bigger or more complex jobs usually get a visit.
Is asbestos a concern with old mastic?
In older buildings, old mastic can contain asbestos. We check the asbestos register or survey before disturbing it and suspect material is tested first.
Can people stay in the building while you reseal?
We plan around people living or working in the building. Dates and areas are agreed with you so residents or tenants can be told and communal access is kept open.
How a job runs
Diagnose, treat, sign off: every visit follows that pattern. First comes an inspection and agreement on scope, then we prepare and seal each joint with the specified product, and we finish with a walk round so the work can be signed off. In Cranham, most buildings stay in use during the work, so zones and timings are agreed with whoever manages the building. Areas are handed back as each section is finished.
