Mastic sealing for commercial buildings in Kemprow
Mastic Doctor has sealed joints on commercial and residential blocks since 2005. Every applicator holds a CSCS card and we hold public liability insurance. Resealed mastic joints in Kemprow carry our 12-month guarantee. Most enquiries involve movement joints with sealant missing and no planned programme for sealant, on balcony and threshold joints, communal kitchens and washrooms and window and door perimeters on blocks. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Kemprow tend to want the same three things: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
In and around smaller places like Kemprow, 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.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we’re clear about what is covered before work starts.

Our process
Diagnose, treat, sign off: every visit follows that pattern. We inspect the joints and confirm what’s in scope, then the work is carried out to the specified product and detail, and the job ends with a walk round and sign-off. Smaller jobs around Kemprow can be grouped with others nearby. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.
- First we look at the mastic on each building and note what needs replacing.
- A fixed quote follows, split by block or building if that suits you.
- The sequence and the dates are fixed with you, giving you what you need to notify occupiers.
- Failed mastic is removed and the faces taken back to sound, dry material.
- Backing rod and primer go in as the joint requires, then the new bead is placed and tooled.
- Finished joints are looked over and the 12-month guarantee confirmed.

When to call us in Kemprow
Much failed sealant was laid on dirty, dusty or damp surfaces. Without clean, sound faces and a primer where the product needs one it comes away from one face.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Brittle perimeter mastic across a building
- Repeated reactive repairs to the same buildings
- Draught complaints from residents or tenants
- Communal area joints that look neglected
With historic buildings such as High Elms Manor, 2.7 miles to the north-west of Kemprow, in the wider area, owners of older properties around Kemprow should expect mastic to need a product that suits old masonry.
Questions to ask before you book
- Are they CHAS accredited or on Constructionline?
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
- Their public liability cover
- Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?

When to bring in a specialist
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class.
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
What happens if it’s left?
A bead run over old mastic can look like a repair. It doesn’t bond and normally fails within a short time. Cutting out and resealing properly does it once. For buildings around smaller places like Kemprow, 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.
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.

Mastic sealing around Kemprow: how the place shapes the job
Kemprow 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 south- and west-facing elevations, which take the most sun and rain, often age first. Central London is about 16 miles from Kemprow. Managed blocks of flats are a big part of commuter-belt property.
For owners of several units at places like Otters Pool Way Industrial Estate, which lies south-west of Kemprow, one programme can deal with frame and external mastic across the lot. Schools and community buildings such as Fair Field Junior School need frame and external mastic kept sound like any building.
Kemprow is about 3 miles north of Bushey, in Hertfordshire. Businesses, contractors and managing agents in Kemprow use us for work on mastic joints. We work across 371 places in Hertfordshire. London is covered too, around 16 miles from Kemprow.

Kemprow: questions and answers
Is Kemprow too far out for you?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We work across Greater London and the South East. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Can you quote for a block close to Radlett 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’ll quote and plan to suit.
When is resealing likely to be due?
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.
How soon can the area be used again?
Curing time varies by product, and we confirm it on the day, and flag anything to keep off until it has cured.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
What if the old mastic contains asbestos?
We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials. Anything suspect is tested before we carry on, and the duty to manage asbestos sits with the dutyholder.
How long does a typical visit take?
It depends on the scope, but the work typically takes a few days for most blocks, with larger programmes scheduled building by building. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we will give you a timescale with the quote.
Maintenance after handover
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Share your contractor requirements early
- Check sealant joints during planned building inspections
- Have the asbestos survey to hand for older buildings
- Group repairs into a planned programme
If paintable sealant was used, decoration can follow once it has cured. Silicone usually can’t be painted, so keep decorators off it unless told otherwise.
Water getting in round frames can damage plaster, decoration and the frames themselves. Resealing early keeps the job small.
