About our mastic sealing in Frogham
On a residential block, the work happens around people’s lives. The sequence, the areas and the dates are settled with you, giving you what you need to notify residents. Communal entrances and stairs stay usable while we work. If you have mastic failing across several blocks on an estate and open joints in brickwork or panels, we can help, on window and door perimeters on blocks, balcony and threshold joints and communal kitchens and washrooms alike. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in Frogham, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
In and around smaller places like Frogham, landlords and agents often look after small groups of housing association properties, converted farm buildings and community buildings. Mastic around frames and on external joints wears out in time, whatever the building.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

Related advice
When to call us in Frogham
Sunlight and weather break mastic down over time. The surface chalks, the body stiffens and cracks appear most of all on the sunniest and most exposed elevations.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- A mix of products and colours from past repairs
- Communal area joints that look neglected
- Leaks at window and door perimeters
- Movement joints with sealant missing
Site managers at schools like Nonington Church of England Primary School can fit frame mastic into the summer works.
Questions to ask before you book
- The named product and why it was chosen
- Their public liability cover
- Who will actually carry out the work
- How they handle RAMS and site documents
After the work
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Check the asbestos register before any old mastic is disturbed
- Keep a record of when each building was resealed
- Plan resealing building by building rather than complaint by complaint
- Ask residents or tenants to report leaks and draughts early
Where a paintable product was specified, it can be painted after curing. Non-paintable silicone shouldn’t be painted over.
Failed mastic often goes unnoticed until heavy rain finds it. Resealing when cracking first shows avoids water damage and saves internal repairs.
FAQs: Frogham
Do you work for managing agents with blocks near Snowdown station?
Yes. Blocks of any size are within what we do. Photos of each elevation help us quote accurately.
Is Frogham off your patch?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Which sealant will you use?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
Is asbestos a concern with old mastic?
Some mastics in pre-2000 buildings contain asbestos. We ask for the asbestos register or survey before work starts and suspect material is tested first.
Will residents or tenants be disturbed?
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.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to.
What paperwork can you provide?
Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote. We hold CHAS accreditation and Constructionline membership.

Why deal with it now?
Looking at mastic during planned maintenance costs little. Waiting until leaks appear means working under pressure and less choice about when. Around Frogham, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
What a job costs comes down to the quantity of joints, how much old material needs removing and the access. Call for a fixed quote when you’re ready.
Why choose Mastic Doctor in Frogham
- Joints cleaned back to sound surfaces
- Colour agreed before work starts
- 12 months’ guarantee on every job
- Sealing commercial buildings since 2005
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Paperwork matters too. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
Some joints are best left to specialists: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
Honest limits
Honesty saves time and money. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- Materials that need asbestos testing before work
- Water coming in from the roof or rainwater goods
- Glazing that needs replacing
If in doubt, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll say what we think before you book.

External mastic still waits for dry faces and the right temperature, while the elevations that take the most sun tend to show hardened mastic first.
