Mastic sealing for commercial buildings in Kempe's Corner
Different joints need different sealants. Low-modulus neutral-cure silicone suits many window perimeters and external movement joints, and MS polymer sealants stick well to many substrates and often take paint, and colours are confirmed for whichever product is used. If you have mastic failing across several blocks on an estate and movement joints with sealant missing, we can help, on balcony and threshold joints, shopfronts below residential blocks and window and door perimeters on blocks alike. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Kempe's Corner? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005, with CSCS-carded applicators.
In and around smaller places like Kempe's Corner, landlords and agents often look after small groups of housing association properties, converted farm buildings and community buildings. Frame and wall-joint mastic on all of them ages and hardens.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we are clear about what is covered before work starts.

Doing it in-house
Paperwork matters too. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
Redoing a failed joint normally costs more than getting it right at the outset, 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.
Kempe's Corner: questions and answers
Is Kempe's Corner too small for you to travel to?
Not at all. Kempe's Corner is within our area. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Do you work for managing agents with blocks near Wye station?
Yes. Managing agents, landlords, property factors and housing associations are who this service is for. Give us the building’s details and say how residents are notified, and we will quote and plan to suit.
How long does a job like this take?
That varies with the scale of the job, but the work typically takes anything from a day to a few weeks, depending on the number of buildings and joints. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we will give you a timescale with the quote.
Do you check for asbestos in old sealant?
In older buildings, old mastic can contain asbestos. We ask for the asbestos register or survey before work starts and suspect material is tested first.
Does the weather affect the work?
It can, when the joints are outside. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Internal work is far less affected.
Who decides which product is used?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
Can you reseal a whole block or estate?
Yes. We survey and price each building, then work through them in order starting wherever is most urgent.

How the job changes by surface
Commercial and mixed-use buildings
Mixed-use buildings combine shops below with flats or offices above, so phasing has to suit both. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will plan around them.
Communal areas
Joints at low level in communal areas take knocks from bins, bikes and buggies, so they often need renewing sooner.

Whether you are a managing agent, a property factor or an owner’s representative: send the details, accept a fixed quote, and we carry out and guarantee the work. We can agree access arrangements and keyholder contacts beforehand.
Looking after buildings in and around Kempe's Corner
Kempe's Corner 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 normally need attention first. Kempe's Corner lies roughly 49 miles out from central London. Commuter-belt towns tend to have plenty of managed blocks near stations and town centres.
With historic buildings such as Godinton House, 3.8 miles to the south-west of Kempe's Corner, in the wider area, owners of older properties around Kempe's Corner should expect mastic to need a product that suits old masonry. If you’re responsible for a building such as All Saints’ Church, frame and door mastic needs the same attention as any other property.

Common problems we fix in Kempe's Corner

- Worn sealant at communal door frames

- Water getting in round frames after rain
- Movement joints with sealant missing
If you own or manage units on a site such as Eurogate Business Park, 2.4 miles to the south-west of Kempe's Corner, failed mastic on frames, door surrounds and external joints can be dealt with unit by unit.
