FAQs: Elm Park
Can you work at a site such as Rom Valley Retail Park, by Elm Park?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Elm Park, Rom Valley Retail Park among them, are all within reach. To start, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email the details over with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Can you cope with the access rules in a London building?
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. All of Greater London is inside the ULEZ, and our planning allows for it
What will the job cost?
It depends on the job: the volume of work, the access, the specified product and how it’s phased. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll price it properly.
What if the old mastic contains asbestos?
Asbestos removal isn’t part of our work. Anything suspect is tested before we carry on, and the duty to manage asbestos sits with the dutyholder.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
For external joints, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Internal work is rarely affected.
Can you reseal a whole block or estate?
We can. We survey and price each building, then work through them in order starting wherever is most urgent.
Can people stay in the building while you reseal?
The work is planned around occupiers. We agree the programme so you can notify occupiers and communal access is kept open.
About our mastic sealing in Elm Park
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 Elm Park carry our 12-month guarantee. The enquiries we see most involve communal area joints that look neglected and movement joints with sealant missing, on shopfronts below residential blocks, communal kitchens and washrooms and communal entrances and stairwells. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Elm Park tend to want the same three things: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
London’s ULEZ covers every borough, and parking and loading rules vary street by street. For block-wide work, a place to park and store materials saves time on every visit.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

How a job runs
Where the site stays busy, the work is phased so only one area is out of use at a time. Each area is protected, prepared and sealed, then reopened once the sealant allows before we move to the next. For a job in Elm Park, access comes first: booked loading, goods lifts, the building’s permit system and a spot to keep materials. Send the building rules and access times with your enquiry.
- We check the asbestos register for older buildings and look at the joints.
- A fixed quote covers the joints, products and order of work.
- Failed mastic is removed completely.
- The joints are prepared and resealed with the right product.
- Buildings are completed in turn.
Before we start on site
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Tell staff and tenants when we will be in

Looking after the joints
For the best life from the joints:
- Keep a record of when each building was resealed
- Prioritise elevations facing the weather
- Keep bins and bikes away from communal door frames
- Check the asbestos register before any old mastic is disturbed
If paintable sealant was used, decoration can follow once it has cured. Silicone normally can’t be painted, so keep decorators off it unless told otherwise.
The longer failed joints are left, the more likely the substrate edges break up. Once that happens, repairs come before resealing and the job grows.
How the job changes by surface
Planned maintenance
Mastic wears out like any building component; how fast comes down to movement, weather, UV and the product. Regular inspection is the best way to plan resealing.
External movement joints
Failed sealant is removed, backing rod inserted to control depth and the joint resealed with a grade whose movement class fits.
Blocks and managed buildings in Elm Park
In London, mastic work on a block goes through the managing agent or landlord, with notice to residents. We work to your notice and access plan.
