About our mastic sealing in Durford Wood
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 Durford Wood carry our 12-month guarantee. We work on balcony and threshold joints, communal kitchens and washrooms and shopfronts below residential blocks, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are no planned programme for sealant and communal area joints that look neglected. Most enquiries from Durford Wood start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
Owners and agents with buildings around smaller places such as Durford Wood tend to manage small terraces of association properties, converted barns and commercial units. Frame and wall-joint mastic on all of them ages and hardens.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

Common questions from Durford Wood clients
Is Durford Wood too far out for you?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across Greater London and the South East. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Will you take on work at estates like Upper Adhurst Industrial Park, close to Durford Wood?
Yes. We cover Durford Wood and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Upper Adhurst Industrial Park. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Do you check for asbestos in old sealant?
Asbestos removal isn’t part of our work. If old sealant is suspected, work stops until it’s tested in line with the dutyholder’s asbestos management.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
It can, when the joints are outside. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Internal work is far less affected.
What do you charge?
Every job gets its own fixed quote. For yours, phone 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings with a description of the work.
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.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance.
General trades versus a specialist
The visible bead is only part of the job. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are easy to get wrong without experience.
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
When to call us in Durford Wood
Poor preparation explains many failed joints. Without clean, sound faces and a primer where the product needs one, the bead peels off one side.
Most enquiries start with something like this:
- Damaged joints in communal entrances and corridors
- Cracked, hardened mastic round windows on a block
- Complaints coming in block by block
- Movement joints with sealant missing
Site managers at schools like Liss Infant School can fit frame mastic into the summer works.
What your quote should include
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
- Are they CHAS accredited or on Constructionline?
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?

Advice
Looking after the joints
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Pass these on to them:
- Keep bins and bikes away from communal door frames
- Start inspections with the most exposed faces
- Share your contractor requirements early
- Have the asbestos survey to hand for older buildings
Ask residents or tenants to report draughts or leaks round windows early. Early reports catch failures before damage spreads.
One failed perimeter typically means others on the same building are close, so it pays to look at the whole elevation. A planned reseal saves repeated visits.
When it isn’t the sealant
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Frames that are rotten, warped or broken
- Cracked or crumbling render, brick or stone at the joint edges (we will tell you if so)
- Leaks from above rather than through a joint
If you’re not sure, just ring 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Planned mastic for Durford Wood portfolios
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Outside work still depends on dry joints, and elevations facing the sun and the prevailing weather are normally where frame mastic ages first. Durford Wood is about 47 miles from central London. Within reach of London, blocks run by agents and associations are common around stations, and window and balcony mastic on them tends to age at the same rate.
For agents with blocks near Liss station, which lies north of Durford Wood, a block-wide mastic programme deals with frames, balconies and entrances in one go. Older community buildings, Church of St Mary among them, often have frames of mixed ages whose mastic varies.

Window and door perimeters on blocks
On most blocks, the frame-to-wall joint is where failure shows first. We remove the failed mastic, prepare the faces, add backing rod if the joint is deep and reseal.
Estate-wide resealing programmes
Housing associations and agents often manage many similar blocks. Each block is priced and scheduled in order.
