Mastic sealing for commercial buildings in East Stratton
Mastic Doctor has sealed joints on commercial and residential blocks since 2005. Our applicators are CSCS-carded and we hold public liability insurance. Each building we complete carries a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. We work on communal entrances and stairwells, window and door perimeters on blocks and external wall and movement joints, and the failures we are asked to look at most are water getting in round frames after rain and the same joint failures repeated across a portfolio. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, in East Stratton it comes down to the same thing: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Owners and agents with buildings around smaller places such as East Stratton 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.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months, in East Stratton as everywhere else we work. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

Keeping the joints sound
After handover, a little attention goes a long way:
- Plan resealing building by building rather than complaint by complaint
- Encourage occupiers to report problems at frames
- Check sealant joints during planned building inspections
- Keep a record of when each building was resealed
Where a paintable product was specified, it can be painted after curing. Silicone typically can’t be painted, so keep decorators off it unless told otherwise.
One failed perimeter normally means others on the same building are close, so it pays to look at the whole elevation. Doing them together saves going back again and again.
How the quote is worked out
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, since sites vary so much. What we take into account:
- Travel to remote or island sites
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- How much existing material needs removing
- Phasing around occupants
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.
Details that help us quote
Diagnosis starts before we arrive. Tell us:
- The type of building and who uses it
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- Your programme or deadline
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we’ll price against exactly what is specified. For smaller jobs, photos and a description will do.
FAQs: East Stratton
Is a smaller place like East Stratton outside your area?
Not at all. East Stratton is within our area. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Can you quote for a block close to Micheldever station?
Yes. Blocks of any size are within what we do. We work to your notice and access arrangements.
How long does a job like this take?
That varies with the scale of the job, but the work normally takes a few days for most blocks, with larger programmes scheduled building by building. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we’ll give you a timescale with the quote.
How do you choose the sealant?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
Do you work with property factors and landlords?
Yes, block and estate work is a core part of what we do. Buildings are scheduled in turn so you can plan around it.
How do you handle work on occupied blocks?
Occupiers stay in the building throughout. We flag any areas that need internal access well before the dates so you can arrange it with occupiers.
Can weather delay the job?
Outside, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Internal work is rarely affected.

Advice
Do you need mastic sealing in East Stratton?
Sunlight and weather break mastic down over time. It stiffens, stops stretching and cracks most of all on the sunniest and most exposed elevations.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- Communal area joints that look neglected
- Mastic failing across several blocks on an estate
- Brittle perimeter mastic across a building
- Draughts at frames across a block
Blocks of flats and mixed-use buildings often cluster around stations such as Micheldever station, 2.5 miles to the north-west of East Stratton, and their window and balcony mastic tends to age at the same rate across a building.

Mastic sealing in East Stratton: the local picture
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Outside work still depends on dry joints, and south- and west-facing elevations, which take the most sun and rain, often age first. East Stratton lies roughly 54 miles out from central London. Managed blocks of flats are a big part of commuter-belt property; their frame mastic often ages block-wide.
Churches, halls and community buildings such as Church of All Saints are looked after by trustees and committees like any other owner, and their frames, doors and external joints need mastic renewed in time.
