Mastic Doctor has sealed joints on commercial and residential blocks since 2005. Our applicators are CSCS-carded and we hold public liability insurance. Each building we complete carries a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. The enquiries we see most involve occupiers reporting cold air round windows and patchy repairs in mismatched sealant, on external wall and movement joints, communal kitchens and washrooms and window and door perimeters on blocks. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, the work in Lagness is the same: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
For buildings around smaller places like Lagness, we group work so one trip covers it. Photos of each elevation help us quote accurately.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. The promise is simple: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

When to call us in Lagness
We often find joints filled solid with no backing rod, so the mastic is glued to the joint bottom too. It can’t stretch properly and splits as the building moves.
Most enquiries start with something like this:
- Draught complaints from residents or tenants
- A mix of products and colours from past repairs
- Damaged joints in communal entrances and corridors
- Movement joints with sealant missing
If you are responsible for a building such as Church of St Giles, frame and door mastic needs the same attention as any other property.
What your quote should include
- What site paperwork they can supply
- Their public liability cover
- How they’ll work around occupants
- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
For owners and agents in Lagness
With the shore within about 2 miles, Lagness counts as a coastal location. Sea-facing elevations take driven rain and salt, and their mastic shows it before the sheltered sides do, and they deserve more regular inspection. Lagness sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Outside work still depends on dry joints, and elevations facing the sun and the prevailing weather are usually where frame mastic ages first.
Property owners at sites such as Quarry Lane Industrial Estate, 2.4 miles north-west of Lagness, can have mastic renewed between lettings. Student blocks close to universities like University of Chichester, 1.3 miles to the north of Lagness, are easiest to work on between tenancies.

Why deal with it now?
Failed perimeter mastic lets cold air in around frames and the windows normally get the blame. Resealing the perimeters is often the simpler fix when the frames themselves are sound. Halls, stores and units around places like Lagness may not be checked every day, which gives a failed joint time to do damage. Renewing joints in good time avoids the problem.
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well, along with the time of year for external work.

Advice

What else we do in Lagness
How the job changes by surface
Planned maintenance
Adding mastic to planned maintenance avoids reactive repairs and keeps budgets predictable.
Commercial and mixed-use buildings
Commercial buildings have mastic at shopfronts, entrances and external joints. A planned programme suits multi-building portfolios.
Should maintenance staff do it?
Some joints are best left to specialists: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. Getting these wrong usually costs more in the end than doing them right.
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint, which is what makes a joint last.
FAQs: Lagness
Can work in a care setting near Lagness go ahead while residents are there?
Yes. We work around residents’ routines, a room or two at a time. Noise and disruption are kept to a minimum.
Our building in Lagness is near the coast: does that change the sealant?
It can. Wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt air are harder on external joints. Product choice and preparation matter more, and sea-facing elevations are worth inspecting more often.
Can you seal joints high up on a block?
Access is discussed and agreed before the quote is fixed. Tell us the building height and any access already in place and we will confirm the approach in the quote.
Will you come and look before quoting?
Photos, drawings or a schedule are often enough to quote. Where they aren’t, we arrange a site visit.
How much does the work cost?
Each job is quoted on its own details. For yours, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email us with a description of the work.
How long does a typical visit take?
That varies with the scale of the job, but the work normally takes one or more days per building, depending on the joint lengths and the access. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we’ll give you a timescale with the quote.
What if the old mastic contains asbestos?
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.
