About our mastic sealing in Feering
Mastic Doctor has sealed joints on commercial and residential blocks since 2005. Every applicator holds a CSCS card and we hold public liability insurance. Each building we complete carries a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. We work on balcony and threshold joints, external wall and movement joints and communal kitchens and washrooms, and the failures we are asked to look at most are water getting in round frames after rain and worn sealant at communal door frames. Whoever orders the work in Feering, the brief is normally the same: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
In and around smaller places like Feering, landlords and agents often look after small groups of housing association properties, converted farm buildings and community buildings. Frame and wall-joint mastic on all of them ages and hardens.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months, wherever the site is. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

Feering: questions and answers
Can you work at a site such as Threshelfords Business Park, by Feering?
Yes. We cover Feering and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Threshelfords Business Park. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
We manage a building near Kelvedon station. Can you help?
Yes. Blocks of any size are within what we do. Send the address, photos of the elevations and your access arrangements, and we’ll give a fixed quote.
When can the area be used after sealing?
We’ll confirm how long the chosen product needs to cure, and sign any area that should be left alone.
How long will the new sealant last?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
Does the weather affect the work?
It can, when the joints are outside. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to.
What guarantee do you give on resealing?
Every building we reseal has a 12-month guarantee. It covers our workmanship, not later building movement, damage or frame failures.
General trades versus a specialist
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint, which is what makes a joint last.
Certain joints really need a specialist: for example fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
Commercial clients in Feering
FMs need a contractor who is easy to get on site. Tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm with the quote.
Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor, on new build and refurbishment alike. Programme, specification and site rules come first, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
What we are called out for in Feering
Topping up old mastic is a common shortcut. New sealant won’t grip failed sealant, so these repairs rarely last.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- Draughts at frames across a block
- Worn sealant at communal door frames
- Complaints coming in block by block
- Patchy repairs in mismatched sealant
Landlords with units on estates such as Threshelfords Business Park, under half a mile south-east of Feering, can bring frame, door and external mastic across several units into one programme.
Questions to ask before you book
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
- How the existing material will be dealt with
- How they’ll work around occupants
- Who will actually carry out the work

Looking after buildings in and around Feering
Rainfall across the South East, Feering included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Outside mastic still needs a dry joint and the right temperature, and elevations facing the sun and the prevailing weather are typically where frame mastic ages first. Feering is about 42 miles from central London. Within reach of London, blocks run by agents and associations are common around stations.
For a school such as Feering Church of England Primary School, perimeter mastic on windows and doors is a holiday job. If you look after a block within reach of Kelvedon station, which lies west of Feering, frame and balcony mastic can be renewed on one programme.

How a job runs
At the end of each section, the masking comes off, the area is cleaned and every joint is checked, ready for your sign-off. If an area should be left alone while the sealant cures, we say how long and put signs out. Jobs in and around smaller places like Feering are usually planned as a single visit, so we ask for photos and rough sizes first. That way the right products come on the day.
- First we look at the mastic on each building and note what needs replacing.
- A fixed quote follows, split by block or building if that suits you.
- The programme is fixed with you, including dates you can pass on to residents or tenants.
- Failed mastic is removed and the faces taken back to sound, dry material.
- Backing rod and primer go in as the joint requires, then the new bead is placed and tooled.
- Finished joints are looked over and the 12-month guarantee confirmed.
Preparing the site
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- Point out any areas we must not close
