Mastic sealing in Lower Nazeing, done properly
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 old repairs sealed over failed mastic and failed external movement joints, we can put it right, on window and door perimeters on blocks, communal entrances and stairwells and balcony and threshold joints alike. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Lower Nazeing? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005.
Converted and older buildings in and around Lower Nazeing often put modern windows into old walls. The mastic there needs to suit both surfaces.

Our process
The first thing on site is a walk round with your contact, agreeing which joints are in scope, where to start and what must stay open. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in. What matters most for a job in Lower Nazeing is a clear list of what needs doing. A fixed quote follows.
- We check the asbestos register for older buildings and look at the joints.
- A fixed quote covers the joints, products and order of work.
- We strip out the old sealant.
- The joints are prepared and resealed with the right product.
- We finish each building before moving to the next.
Getting the site ready
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
Quotes
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we will price the work to it. For smaller jobs, photographs and a description will do.

Honest limits
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- Broken glass or failed sealed units
- Old mastic suspected of containing asbestos, which must be tested and dealt with by a specialist first
- Cracked or crumbling render, brick or stone at the joint edges (we will tell you if so)
Not sure which it is? You can call 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we seal
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
- Balcony and threshold joints
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
- External wall and movement joints
Looking after buildings in and around Lower Nazeing
Central London is about 17 miles from Lower Nazeing. Around the capital’s commuter belt, managing agents look after many blocks close to stations and town centres, and window and balcony mastic on them tends to age at the same rate. Rainfall across the South East, Lower Nazeing included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Outside work still depends on dry joints, and the sunniest, most exposed sides of a building normally need attention first.
Landlords with units on estates such as Hilgrove Business Park (to the west of Lower Nazeing) can bring frame, door and external mastic across several units into one programme. Churches, halls and community buildings such as St Giles are looked after by trustees and committees like any other owner, and their frames, doors and external joints need mastic renewed in time.

Lower Nazeing: questions and answers
Do you cover business parks and estates near Lower Nazeing, such as Hilgrove Business Park?
Yes. Our area takes in Lower Nazeing and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Hilgrove Business Park included. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.
Do you work for managing agents with blocks near Broxbourne station?
Yes, we work for agents, landlords and housing associations with blocks of every size. Give us the building’s details and say how residents are notified, and we’ll quote and plan to suit.
How long will the new sealant last?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
Who decides which product is used?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and the quote will be based on it.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No, never. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so it all comes out first.
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.
Different surfaces, different methods
Tenement and older buildings
Older mastic can contain asbestos and the register is checked before anything is disturbed. If it’s suspected, work stops until it’s tested.
Planned maintenance
We can work into your cyclical maintenance plan, building by building.
Building owners, agents and FMs in Lower Nazeing
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. We phase the work so people keep access, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
If you look after buildings for someone else, you need clear quotes and clear reporting. You get a fixed quote, an agreed scope and a walk round at the end.

When to bring in a specialist
Paperwork matters too. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
Certain joints really need a specialist: for example fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
When to call us in Lower Nazeing
UV and rain age external sealant. It stiffens, stops stretching and cracks, especially on south and west faces.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Draughts at frames across a block
- Damp patches beside frames
- Worn sealant at communal door frames
- Old repairs sealed over failed mastic
Buildings close to stations like Broxbourne station, 1.3 miles north-west of Lower Nazeing, are often flats over shops, with frame mastic to keep sound.
Questions to ask before you book
- How they handle RAMS and site documents
- Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?
- Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?
- How long is the guarantee, and what does it include?
