Photos, a specification or a quick description of the joints is enough to start a fixed quote.
Mastic sealing for commercial buildings in Hodsoll Street
We diagnose before we prescribe: what has failed, what caused it and whether new sealant will actually solve it. 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. We work on window and door perimeters on blocks, external wall and movement joints and communal entrances and stairwells, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are water getting in round frames after rain and repeated reactive repairs to the same buildings. Searching for sealant specialists in Hodsoll Street? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005.
Owners and agents with buildings around smaller places such as Hodsoll Street tend to manage small terraces of association properties, converted barns and commercial units. Mastic around frames and on external joints wears out in time, whatever the building.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work. If an installation problem shows up, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll arrange a return visit.

Looking after the joints
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Track which buildings were done and when
- Make mastic part of routine maintenance checks
- Have the asbestos survey to hand for older buildings
- Keep bins and bikes away from communal door frames
Keep records of when each building was resealed. That makes future programmes easier to plan and gives you a history.
One failed perimeter normally means others on the same building are close so a single failure is a sign to check the rest. A planned reseal saves repeated visits.
Our process
At the end of each section, we remove the tape, clean down and inspect every joint with your site contact. If an area should be left alone while the sealant cures, we say how long and put signs out. Rural sites near Hodsoll Street may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Send that with the details and we will confirm the plan with the quote.
- First comes a look at the joints and, for older buildings, the asbestos records.
- The products and programme are set out in a fixed quote.
- We strip out the old sealant.
- The joints are prepared and resealed with the right product.
- Buildings are completed in turn.
Preparing the site
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Confirm the product named in the specification
Get a fixed quote
Send us photos, drawings or a joint schedule are often enough for a fixed quote. Where a site visit makes more sense, we’ll arrange one.
Advice
What we are called out for in Hodsoll Street
The edges of the material itself sometimes break away, such as crumbling render, brick arrises or frame edges. We’ll tell you if the joint edges need repairing before resealing.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- No planned programme for sealant
- Movement joints with sealant missing
- A mix of products and colours from past repairs
- Worn sealant at communal door frames
Property owners at sites such as Bowes Industrial Centre, 1.8 miles north-east of Hodsoll Street, can have mastic renewed between lettings.
What your quote should include
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
- The terms of the workmanship guarantee
- The named product and why it was chosen
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
What the job involves on each surface
Window and door perimeters on blocks
Window and door perimeters are where most mastic failure shows. We remove the failed mastic, prepare the faces, add backing rod if the joint is deep and reseal.
Communal areas
Low-level communal joints get damaged more than most, so they often need renewing sooner.
Planned mastic for Hodsoll Street portfolios
Hodsoll Street sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Even so, frame mastic only goes on in dry, workable conditions, and the sunniest, most exposed sides of a building typically need attention first. Central London is about 21 miles from Hodsoll Street. Managed blocks of flats are a big part of commuter-belt property, and window and balcony mastic on them tends to age at the same rate.
If you are responsible for a building such as Church of Saint Peter, frame and door mastic needs the same attention as any other property. For a school such as Culverstone Green Primary School, perimeter mastic on windows and doors is a holiday job.

FAQs: Hodsoll Street
Do you cover business parks and estates near Hodsoll Street, such as Bowes Industrial Centre?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Hodsoll Street, Bowes Industrial Centre among them, are all within reach. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.
Is Hodsoll Street too far out for you?
No. Places such as Hodsoll Street are covered as much as the big towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
How long does a job like this take?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. You will have an expected duration with the quote.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so everything comes out first.
How soon can the area be used again?
Curing time varies by product, and we confirm it on the day.
Do you work with property factors and landlords?
Yes, that’s exactly who this service is for. We work through buildings in a planned order so you can plan around it.
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.
When it isn’t the sealant
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we are upfront when that’s the case. It won’t fix:
- Misted or failed double-glazed units
- Leaks from above rather than through a joint
- Old mastic suspected of containing asbestos, which must be tested and dealt with by a specialist first
If in doubt, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we seal
- External wall and movement joints
