About our mastic sealing in Knockholt Pound
Mastic Doctor has sealed joints on commercial and residential blocks since 2005. Our applicators are CSCS-carded and we hold public liability insurance. Resealed mastic joints in Knockholt Pound carry our 12-month guarantee. We work on communal entrances and stairwells, balcony and threshold joints and communal kitchens and washrooms, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are brittle perimeter mastic across a building and the same joint failures repeated across a portfolio. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in Knockholt Pound, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Rural conversions near places like Knockholt Pound often set modern frames into older stone, flint or brick. Perimeter mastic there has to grip an uneven face and suit the building’s character.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee, wherever the site is. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

General trades versus a specialist
The visible bead is only part of the job. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are where general trades tend to cut corners.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. The usual problems come from preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.

After the work
Once the work is signed off, a little attention goes a long way:
- Share your contractor requirements early
- Log resealing dates block by block
- Start inspections with the most exposed faces
- Avoid piecemeal callouts where you can
Protect entrance and corridor joints from knocks where possible. Damage at low level is the most common reason communal joints fail early.
Left open, joint edges in render, brick or frames can deteriorate. Once that happens, repairs come before resealing and the job grows.
Planned mastic for Knockholt Pound portfolios
Knockholt Pound lies roughly 16 miles out from central London. Managed blocks of flats are a big part of commuter-belt property. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Outside mastic still needs a dry joint and the right temperature, and elevations facing the sun and the prevailing weather are typically where frame mastic ages first.
Historic properties like Down House (to the west of Knockholt Pound) show the age of some local stock, where frame mastic must suit soft brick or stone. If you look after a block within reach of Knockholt station, which lies north of Knockholt Pound, frame and balcony mastic can be renewed on one programme.

Your questions answered
Can you quote for a block close to Knockholt station?
Yes, and several blocks can go on one quote. Give us the building’s details and say how residents are notified, and we will quote and plan to suit.
Is Knockholt Pound off your patch?
Not at all. Knockholt Pound is within our area. We work across Greater London and the South East. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Do you guarantee the mastic work?
Every building we reseal has a 12-month guarantee. It covers our workmanship, not later building movement, damage or frame failures.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and we’ll price the work to it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
Can you reseal a whole block or estate?
Block-wide and estate programmes are common. You get a fixed quote per building or for the whole job.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so it all comes out first.
Can weather delay the job?
It can, for external work. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
How the job changes by surface
Window and door perimeters on blocks
We typically work through a block’s windows in a planned order. Access is agreed with you before the quote is fixed.
External movement joints
Movement joints are cleaned out, backed with rod and resealed with a sealant of the right movement class.
What we’re called out for in Knockholt Pound
Occasionally the substrate fails, not the sealant for instance where render or brick edges crumble. We’ll tell you if the joint edges need repairing before resealing.
Things that typically lead to an enquiry:
- A mix of products and colours from past repairs
- Repeated reactive repairs to the same buildings
- Estate-wide sealant that is simply worn out
- Failed external movement joints
Landlords with units on estates such as North Downs Business Park (1.5 miles east of Knockholt Pound) can bring frame, door and external mastic across several units into one programme.
