Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
Work for main contractors and building owners
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. We phase the work so people keep access, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
Agents, factors and owners’ representatives all follow the same route: send the details, accept a fixed quote, and we carry out and guarantee the work. We can agree access arrangements and keyholder contacts beforehand.
Mastic sealing for commercial buildings in Gibraltar
Most buildings come with mastic joints nobody has looked at since handover and it slowly wears out: it sits round windows and doors, along external joints and through communal areas. When it hardens, splits or pulls away, water and draughts follow, and occupiers start reporting it. If you have draughts at frames across a block and damp patches beside frames, we can help, on shopfronts below residential blocks, communal entrances and stairwells and window and door perimeters on blocks alike. Searching for sealant specialists in Gibraltar? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005, CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
In and around smaller places like Gibraltar, 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.

What the job involves on each surface
External movement joints
Failed sealant is removed, backing rod inserted to control depth and the joint resealed with a grade whose movement class fits.
Estate-wide resealing programmes
A programme can start with the worst buildings and work down. Quotes can be per block or for the full programme.
When to bring in a specialist
The visible bead is only part of the job. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are easy to get wrong without experience.
Paperwork matters too. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we’ll confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
Why act early in Gibraltar
Reacting to every complaint means sending someone out block by block. Planned resealing covers a whole building or estate in one go and is simpler to manage and budget. For buildings around smaller places like Gibraltar, water damage can go unnoticed for longer, especially where a building isn’t used daily, so a failed joint can leak for a while before anyone sees it. Resealing early avoids that.
Every site prices differently: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.
Why appoint us
- Matching to RAL references, product permitting
- Colour options checked against the specified product
- Products installed to the manufacturer’s instructions
- Sealing commercial buildings since 2005
How a job runs
A typical day starts with protection: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. The work itself typically takes a day or two for a single block, longer for an estate programme, and we clear our waste as we work. For work around Gibraltar, we aim to finish in one visit, so we ask for photos and rough sizes first. That way the right products come on the day.
- 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.
- The joints are prepared and resealed with the right product.
- Buildings are completed in turn.
What we need from you
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Flag any permit to work we will need
Getting a fixed quote
Send us photographs, drawings or a joint schedule and a fixed quote comes back to you. Where a site visit makes more sense, we’ll arrange one.

After the work
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. We suggest:
- List the paperwork your organisation requires when you send details
- Start inspections with the most exposed faces
- Keep bins and bikes away from communal door frames
- Share the asbestos register when you send details
Where a paintable product was specified, it can be painted after curing. Silicone normally can’t be painted, so keep decorators off it unless told otherwise.
Planned resealing is easier to budget than emergency repairs. A programme can start with the worst buildings so spending is spread.
Mastic sealing in Gibraltar: the local picture
The South East is one of the drier 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. At about 40 miles from central London, Gibraltar is within reach of the capital. Commuter-belt towns tend to have plenty of managed blocks near stations and town centres; their frame mastic often ages block-wide.
Property owners at sites such as Haddenham Industrial Park (1.7 miles south-west of Gibraltar) can have mastic renewed between lettings. Trustees of buildings like Church of Saints Peter and Paul can bring frame and external mastic into a planned maintenance list. For agents with blocks near Haddenham & Thame Parkway station, which lies south-west of Gibraltar, a block-wide mastic programme deals with frames, balconies and entrances in one go.

Your questions answered
Do you work for managing agents with blocks near Haddenham & Thame Parkway station?
Yes, and several blocks can go on one quote. Give us the building’s details and say how residents are notified, and we’ll quote and plan to suit.
Is Gibraltar off your patch?
No. Places such as Gibraltar are covered as much as the big towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to, and we raise anything unclear before work begins.
Can people stay in the building while you reseal?
Residents and tenants carry on as normal. If any flats or units need access, we will tell you in advance so it can be arranged.
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.
Do you do block-wide mastic programmes?
We can. We survey and price each building, then work through them in order, and the programme can start with the worst.
What paperwork can you provide?
Our credentials include CHAS, Constructionline and public liability insurance. For specific documents, tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote.
