Mastic sealing for commercial buildings in Loxford
There isn’t one mastic for every joint on a building. Low-modulus neutral-cure silicone suits many window perimeters and external movement joints, while hybrid polymer sealants grip many materials and are often paintable. We will confirm the colours available for the specified product. We work on communal kitchens and washrooms, external wall and movement joints and shopfronts below residential blocks, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are damaged joints in communal entrances and corridors and failed external movement joints. Searching for sealant specialists in Loxford? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005, CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
London has a large stock of purpose-built blocks, mansion flats and converted buildings managed by agents and housing associations. Window and door perimeters, balcony joints and communal areas all have mastic that ages together across a building.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: preparation, application and finish. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

When to bring in a 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.
Certain joints really need a specialist: 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.
Building owners, agents and FMs in Loxford
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.
Agents, factors and owners’ representatives all follow the same route: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed. Keys, access and contacts can be agreed in advance.
Common questions from Loxford clients
Do you work in London buildings with loading restrictions?
Yes. Inductions, permits and timed loading are routine for us in London. Share the building’s contractor rules and we’ll work to them. The ULEZ covers the whole of Greater London, which we allow for
Can you work at a site such as Lyon Business Park, by Loxford?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Loxford, Lyon Business Park among them, are all within reach. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
How do you handle work on occupied blocks?
Residents and tenants carry on as normal. We flag any areas that need internal access well before the dates so you can arrange it with occupiers.
How do we ask for a quote?
You can use the quote form on this site; alternatively, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings. Photos, drawings or a joint schedule help us quote quickly.
What do you charge?
Each job is quoted on its own details. To get one, phone 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.
How many days will you need on site?
That varies with the scale of the job, but the work usually takes a few days for most blocks, with larger programmes scheduled building by building. For bigger or phased jobs, we’ll set out a timescale with the quote.
What if the old mastic contains asbestos?
We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials. If old sealant is suspected, work stops until it’s tested in line with the dutyholder’s asbestos management.
What the job involves on each surface
Commercial and mixed-use buildings
Tenants in commercial buildings need to keep trading so the work is phased.
Tenement and older buildings
Older buildings, including Scotland’s sandstone tenements, have their own joint details. We look at the substrate before choosing a sealant.

Cost factors for mastic joints
The price varies from site to site. It mainly depends on:
- Phasing around occupants
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Distance, for remote addresses
- The product specified
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.
Sending details for a quote
Whether it’s one area or a whole building, the same details help:
- What the building is and how it’s used
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
Send us photos, drawings or a joint schedule and a fixed quote comes back to you. If the job needs a look first, we will arrange a site visit.
Our process
Site rules come first: sign-in, induction and whatever permit system the building uses. With the paperwork done, the joints are worked through in the order agreed with your site contact, and each area is checked before we leave it. All of Greater London is in the ULEZ, and kerbside space in Loxford can be scarce. Let us know about any on-site parking or loading arrangements when you send the job details.
- A building-by-building inspection lists the failed joints.
- You get a fixed quote, per block or for the whole programme.
- We agree the programme and dates with you.
- Failed sealant is removed and the faces prepared.
- New sealant goes in with backing rod and primer where needed.
- We check the finished work and confirm the guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
