Our process
Working in a building that stays open takes some planning. We sign and contain the area we are in, with routes through the building left open and move on in phases so staff and visitors can carry on around us. For a site in Lambourn, we plan so the whole job is done in one go where possible. Photos with rough sizes let us arrive with everything needed.
- First comes a look at the joints and, for older buildings, the asbestos records.
- A fixed quote covers the joints, products and order of work.
- Failed mastic is removed completely.
- The joints are prepared and resealed with the right product.
- Buildings are completed in turn.
What we need from you
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Point out any areas we must not close

Mastic sealing in Lambourn, done properly
There isn’t one mastic for every joint on a building. 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 movement joints with sealant missing and patchy repairs in mismatched sealant, we can put it right, on balcony and threshold joints, shopfronts below residential blocks and window and door perimeters on blocks alike. Searching for sealant specialists in Lambourn? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005, with CSCS-carded applicators.
Converted and older buildings in and around Lambourn often put modern windows into old walls. Perimeter joints need a sealant that suits both frame and masonry.
We stand behind the joints we seal: 12 months, guaranteed. That covers our preparation and application.

For managing agents and facilities managers
Whether you’re 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. Keys, access and contacts can be agreed in advance.
Building owners and managing agents use us on sealant work across single buildings or whole portfolios. Several sites can go on one quote, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.
Looking after the joints
For the best life from the joints:
- Check sealant joints during planned building inspections
- Group repairs into a planned programme
- Mention RAMS, insurance or CSCS requirements up front
- Log resealing dates block by block
If a joint we sealed fails within 12 months, tell us and we’ll look at it. After that, regular inspection keeps the programme on track.
Budgets are easier to plan when sealant is part of planned maintenance. A programme can start with the worst buildings and work down the list.
Why act early in Lambourn
Adding sealant to cyclical maintenance is an easy win. Waiting until leaks appear means working under pressure and less choice about when. Over time, UV, weather and movement wear any sealant out. Replacing it before it fails keeps water out.
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits, along with the time of year for external work.
Why clients in Lambourn choose us
- Fixed quotes based on photos, drawings or a visit
- One contact handling all your sites

Blocks and managed buildings in Lambourn
Lambourn lies roughly 62 miles out from central London. Within reach of London, blocks run by agents and associations are common around stations. Lambourn is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. External mastic still waits for dry faces and the right temperature, while the elevations that take the most sun tend to show hardened mastic first.
Older community buildings, Church of St Michael and All Angels among them, often have frames of mixed ages whose mastic varies. Site managers at schools like Lambourn CofE Primary School can fit frame mastic into the summer works. With historic buildings such as Ashdown House (3.5 miles north-west of Lambourn) in the wider area, owners of older properties around Lambourn should expect mastic to need a product that suits old masonry.

How the job changes by surface
Commercial and mixed-use buildings
Tenants in commercial buildings need to keep trading, so we plan around them.
Communal areas
Low-level communal joints get damaged more than most, so they often need renewing sooner.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
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.
There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.

Questions we’re asked in Lambourn
Can you quote for mastic across several buildings in and around Lambourn?
Yes. Portfolio-wide programmes are a regular request. We can phase the programme to suit your budgets and notice periods.
Is Lambourn too far out for you?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We work across Greater London and the South East. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Can you take on resealing for a block portfolio?
We do. Managing agents, property factors in Scotland, housing associations and landlords with block or commercial portfolios are our main clients for this work and work can be quoted per building or as a whole.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
It can, when the joints are outside. 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.
Is asbestos a concern with old mastic?
Some mastics in pre-2000 buildings contain asbestos. We ask for the asbestos register or survey before work starts, and if it’s suspected, work stops until it’s tested.
Can people stay in the building while you reseal?
Residents and tenants carry on as normal. We flag any areas that need internal access well before the dates so it can be arranged.
How soon can the area be used again?
We’ll confirm how long the chosen product needs to cure, and sign any area that should be left alone.
