- The total length or number of joints
We don’t publish prices, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. For a fixed figure, call for a quote.

How we handle mastic sealing in Epsom Downs
For blocks and buildings in Epsom Downs and across Surrey, the process is the same: you send details, we return a fixed quote, the joints are resealed and the 12-month guarantee follows. A list of buildings, a few photos and approximate joint numbers are enough for a quick quote or we can visit. We work on shopfronts below residential blocks, external wall and movement joints and communal entrances and stairwells, and the failures we are asked to look at most are water getting in round frames after rain and draughts at frames across a block. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Epsom Downs? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005, with CSCS-carded applicators.
Rural conversions near places like Epsom Downs often set modern frames into older stone, flint or brick. Perimeter mastic there has to grip an uneven face and suit the building’s character.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: preparation, application and finish. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

Your questions answered
Is Epsom Downs off your patch?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. London and every South East county are within our area. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Will you take on work at estates like Eclipse Industrial Estate, close to Epsom Downs?
Yes, sites like Eclipse Industrial Estate are within our area, along with the rest of Epsom Downs. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Do you work for managing agents and housing associations?
Yes, that’s exactly who this service is for. Buildings are scheduled in turn so you can plan around it.
What if the old mastic contains asbestos?
We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials. Anything suspect is tested before we carry on in line with the dutyholder’s asbestos management.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so everything comes out first.
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 will price it properly.
How soon can the area be used again?
That comes down to the sealant and the temperature. Some take light use quickly, others need longer to cure, and we confirm it before leaving site.
What sealant work can’t fix
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Leaks through the frame itself rather than the perimeter
- Asbestos-containing sealant, which we don’t remove
- Broken glass or failed sealed units
If in doubt, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email us and we will say what we think.

Should maintenance staff do it?
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. The usual problems come from preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are where general trades tend to cut corners.
Mastic sealing around Epsom Downs: what changes locally
There are four care or nursing homes within about 2 miles of Epsom Downs. Frame mastic on care buildings is best renewed elevation by elevation, with the manager deciding timings. Epsom Downs lies roughly 14 miles out from central London. Around the capital’s commuter belt, managing agents look after many blocks close to stations and town centres; their frame mastic often ages block-wide.
Student blocks close to universities like University for the Creative Arts - Epsom (to the north-west of Epsom Downs) are easiest to work on between tenancies. Property owners at sites such as Eclipse Industrial Estate, 1.6 miles to the north-west of Epsom Downs, can have mastic renewed between lettings. For a school such as Warren Mead Infant School, perimeter mastic on windows and doors is a holiday job.

From enquiry to sign-off
Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. On site, the work normally takes anything from a day to a few weeks, depending on the number of buildings and joints, and we clear our waste as we work. Jobs in and around smaller places like Epsom Downs are typically planned as a single visit, so we ask for photographs and rough sizes first. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- We check the asbestos register for older buildings and look at the joints.
- A fixed quote covers the joints, products and order of work.
- We strip out the old sealant.
- Joint faces are cleaned, backed and resealed.
- We finish each building before moving to the next.
What we need from you
- Send your site hours and access windows
- Move anything stored against the joints

Request a quote
Every job follows the same four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. To take the first step, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.

Maintenance after handover
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Pass these on to them:
- Track which buildings were done and when
- Share your contractor requirements early
- Include mastic in your cyclical inspections
- Look at the sunniest and most exposed elevations first
Add mastic joints to your cyclical inspections. Watch for splits, open gaps, hard or chalky surfaces and mastic pulling away and record where they are.
Left open, joint edges in render, brick or frames can deteriorate. Once that happens, repairs come before resealing and the job grows.
