Photos, a specification or a quick description of the joints is enough to start a fixed quote.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
The first thing on site is a walk round with your contact, agreeing which joints are in scope, where to start and what must stay open. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in. If others near Forest Corner need work, visits can be combined, which keeps travel down. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.
- We inspect each building and record the joints that have failed.

Advice
Mastic sealing in Forest Corner, done properly
Treatment starts with a proper look: which joints have failed, why, and whether sealant is the right answer. Failed mastic is stripped, the faces taken back to sound material, primed where the manufacturer specifies and resealed, with backing rod setting the depth where it’s needed. Most enquiries involve occupiers reporting cold air round windows and damp patches beside frames, across balcony and threshold joints, communal kitchens and washrooms and window and door perimeters on blocks. Searching for sealant specialists in Forest Corner? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005, CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
For owners with a single building near Forest Corner, we plan to finish in one visit where possible. Photos of each elevation help us quote accurately.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee, wherever the site is. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

Questions about Forest Corner
Is Forest Corner too far out for you?
No. Places such as Forest Corner are covered as much as the big towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Will you work in a care home in Forest Corner without moving residents out?
Yes. Care settings are planned area by area, at times agreed with the home. Noise and disruption are kept to a minimum.
Do you guarantee the mastic work?
A 12-month guarantee covers our work. It applies to our workmanship rather than damage or problems with the frames.
Can you quote from photos?
Photos, drawings or a schedule are often enough to quote. Where they aren’t, we arrange a site visit.
Is asbestos a concern with old mastic?
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.
What do you charge?
Each job is quoted on its own details. To get one, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.
Do you work with property factors and landlords?
We do. Managing agents, property factors in Scotland, housing associations and landlords with block or commercial portfolios are our main clients for this work, and we quote building by building or as a programme.
How the job changes by surface
Communal areas
Entrance doors, screens and corridor junctions in communal areas all have sealant joints. Fresh joints make shared areas look looked after.
Window and door perimeters on blocks
Perimeter joints on blocks are best done elevation by elevation or block by block. How each joint is reached is agreed at quote stage.
What we’re called out for in Forest Corner
Sunlight and weather break mastic down over time. The surface chalks, the body stiffens and cracks appear, especially on south and west faces.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- Occupiers reporting cold air round windows
- No planned programme for sealant
- Damaged joints in communal entrances and corridors
- The same joint failures repeated across a portfolio
For owners of several units at places like Platinum Jubilee Business Park, 1.4 miles to the south-west of Forest Corner, one programme can deal with frame and external mastic across the lot.

Why it’s worth doing now in Forest Corner
Sealing over failed mastic looks tidy for a while. It doesn’t bond and usually fails within a short time. Cutting out and resealing properly does it once. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Forest Corner. Send photos of each area and we’ll quote for the lot.
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.
Why clients in Forest Corner choose us

Building owners, agents and FMs in Forest Corner
We take on planned maintenance as well as one-off repairs: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. Sites in Forest Corner can sit alongside others in a wider programme across Hampshire.
Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients come to us directly as well. The work is planned around how the building runs, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.
How the quote is worked out
Quotes vary with the job. It mainly depends on:
- The total length or number of joints
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Joint width, depth and condition
- The product specified
The product called for affects the cost, and so does the preparation, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
What we need to price the job
It doesn’t need to be a full survey. These details are enough to start:
- Your programme or deadline
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- Clear photos of the problem areas
- The site address and postcode
We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so the cost is agreed before work starts. To ask for one, call the office on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form.
Mastic sealing in Forest Corner: the local picture
Forest Corner has five care or nursing homes no more than 2 miles away. Frame mastic on care buildings is best renewed elevation by elevation, with the manager deciding timings. Rainfall across the South East, Forest Corner included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. External mastic still waits for dry faces and the right temperature, and elevations facing the sun and the prevailing weather are typically where frame mastic ages first.
If you’re responsible for a building such as St John the Baptist, frame and door mastic needs the same attention as any other property. Site managers at schools like Poulner Infant School can fit frame mastic into the summer works.
