About our mastic sealing in Lychpit
Mastic Doctor has sealed joints on commercial and residential blocks since 2005. Our applicators are CSCS-carded, and the work is backed by public liability insurance. Each building we complete carries a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. Most enquiries involve estate-wide sealant that is simply worn out and water getting in round frames after rain, across external wall and movement joints, communal kitchens and washrooms and shopfronts below residential blocks. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in Lychpit, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
In and around smaller places like Lychpit, landlords and agents often look after small groups of housing association properties, converted farm buildings and community buildings. Mastic around frames and on external joints wears out in time, whatever the building.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and the quote explains what it covers.

What happens if it’s left?
Draughts round window perimeters cost occupiers comfort, and they often blame the windows. Resealing the perimeters is often the simpler fix where the frames themselves are sound. Around Lychpit, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
There’s no price list, since every building and every scope is different. Call for a quote and we’ll price your job on its own details.

When to bring in a specialist
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. 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.
The visible bead is only part of the job. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are easy to get wrong without experience.
Block-wide mastic in Lychpit
Lychpit is about 44 miles from central London. Managed blocks of flats are a big part of commuter-belt property; their frame mastic often ages block-wide. Lychpit sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Outside work still depends on dry joints, and the sunniest, most exposed sides of a building usually need attention first.
Schools and community buildings such as Old Basing Infant School need frame and external mastic kept sound like any building. With historic buildings such as The Vyne (to the north-west of Lychpit) in the wider area, owners of older properties around Lychpit should expect mastic to need a product that suits old masonry. Blocks of flats and mixed-use buildings often cluster around stations such as Basingstoke station (to the west of Lychpit) and their window and balcony mastic tends to age at the same rate across a building.
Lychpit is about 2 miles east of Basingstoke, in Hampshire. Looking for mastic sealing in Lychpit? We can help. Our Hampshire coverage takes in 723 places, large and small. There’s a separate page for Reading, roughly 13 miles from Lychpit.

FAQs: Lychpit
Is Lychpit too small for you to travel to?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Will you take on a block within reach of Basingstoke station?
Yes. Blocks of any size are within what we do. Send the address, photos of the elevations and your access arrangements, and we’ll give a fixed quote.
How long do sealant joints last?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
It can, for external work. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
Will residents or tenants be disturbed?
Residents and tenants carry on as normal. If any flats or units need access, we’ll tell you in advance so you can arrange it with occupiers.
Is asbestos a concern with old mastic?
Asbestos removal isn’t part of our work. Anything suspect is tested before we carry on, and the duty to manage asbestos sits with the dutyholder.
Who decides which product is used?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.

Advice
Maintenance after handover
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. Our advice:
- Reduce knocks to communal area joints
- Share your contractor requirements early
- Share the asbestos register when you send details
- Keep a record of when each building was resealed
If paintable sealant was used, decoration can follow once it has cured. Silicone typically can’t be painted, so keep decorators off it.
Joints on a building age together, so it pays to look at the whole elevation. A planned reseal saves repeated visits.
