Leave it or put it right?
Mixed repairs by different contractors leave a patchwork of products and colours. Resealing a whole building gives a consistent finish. Around Herne Pound, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once. Send photographs of each area and we’ll quote for the lot.
There’s no price list, since every building and every scope is different. For a fixed figure, call for a quote.

Mastic sealing in Herne Pound, done properly
Mastic Doctor has sealed joints on commercial and residential blocks since 2005. Every applicator holds a CSCS card, and the work is backed by public liability insurance. Resealed mastic joints in Herne Pound carry our 12-month guarantee. If you’re dealing with the same joint failures repeated across a portfolio and open joints in brickwork or panels, we can put it right.

In and around smaller places like Herne Pound, 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.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

What we’re called out for in Herne Pound

Questions about Herne Pound
Does your area include sites such as The Alders Industrial Estate, near Herne Pound?
Yes. We cover Herne Pound and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as The Alders Industrial Estate. A few photos and the unit address let us price the work.
Is Herne Pound too small for you to travel to?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across Greater London and the South East. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
How do you reach windows on upper floors?
Every block is different. How upper joints are reached is agreed before work is booked so there are no surprises.
What paperwork can you provide?
Let us know your requirements: tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote. We hold CHAS accreditation and Constructionline membership.
When can the area be used after sealing?
That comes down to the sealant and the temperature. Some take light use quickly, others need longer to cure, so we’ll confirm the curing time on the day.
How long will the new sealant last?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
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, and the duty to manage asbestos sits with the dutyholder.

Advice
For owners and agents in Herne Pound
Central London is about 26 miles from Herne Pound. Around the capital’s commuter belt, managing agents look after many blocks close to stations and town centres, and window and balcony mastic on them tends to age at the same rate. Herne Pound is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. Even so, frame mastic only goes on in dry, workable conditions, and the sunniest, most exposed sides of a building typically need attention first.
For owners of several units at places like The Alders Industrial Estate, 0.9 miles south of Herne Pound, one programme can deal with frame and external mastic across the lot. With historic buildings such as Old Soar Manor (2.5 miles west of Herne Pound) in the wider area, owners of older properties around Herne Pound should expect mastic to need a product that suits old masonry.

When to bring in a specialist
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
Maintenance after handover
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Start inspections with the most exposed faces
- Avoid piecemeal callouts where you can
- Reduce knocks to communal area joints
- Check sealant joints during planned building inspections
Include sealant in planned building inspections. Watch for splits, open gaps, hard or chalky surfaces and mastic pulling away, and note the building and elevation.
Left open, joint edges in render, brick or frames can deteriorate. Once that happens, repairs come before resealing and the job grows.
What sealant work can’t fix
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Failed window or door frames, which need a window contractor
- Glazing that needs replacing
- Substrate edges that need repairing first
