Mastic sealing for commercial buildings in Marley
Mastic Doctor has sealed joints on commercial and residential blocks since 2005. Every applicator holds a CSCS card, and the work is backed by public liability insurance. Resealed mastic joints in Marley carry our 12-month guarantee. Site teams most often ask us about repeated reactive repairs to the same buildings and damaged joints in communal entrances and corridors, on external wall and movement joints, communal kitchens and washrooms and communal entrances and stairwells. Most enquiries from Marley start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
For buildings around smaller places like Marley, we group work so one trip covers it. Send photographs of the frames and joints and we’ll give a fixed quote.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

Maintenance after handover
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Share these points with them:
- Mention RAMS, insurance or CSCS requirements up front
- Have the asbestos survey to hand for older buildings
- Encourage occupiers to report problems at frames
- Keep a record of when each building was resealed
Include sealant in planned building inspections. Watch for splits, open gaps, hard or chalky surfaces and mastic pulling away and record where they are.
Left open, joint edges in render, brick or frames can deteriorate. Once that happens, repairs come before resealing.
What sets the cost
What shapes the price:
- Which sealant the job calls for
- The total length or number of joints
- The size and state of each joint
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well, along with the time of year for external work.
Before you send an enquiry
It doesn’t need to be a full survey. These details are enough to start:
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- Clear photos of the problem areas
- The site address and postcode

General trades versus a specialist
Redoing a failed joint typically costs more than getting it right at the outset, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are where general trades tend to cut corners.

Many jobs can be quoted from photos, drawings or a joint schedule. Where they aren’t, we arrange a site visit before quoting.
Block-wide mastic in Marley
At about 57 miles from central London, Marley is within reach of the capital. 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. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Even so, frame mastic only goes on in dry, workable conditions, while the elevations that take the most sun tend to show hardened mastic first.
Student accommodation around universities such as University for the Creative Arts, 4.8 miles to the north of Marley, is typically managed block by block, which suits a planned mastic programme. For agents with blocks near Snowdown station, 3.5 miles east of Marley, a block-wide mastic programme deals with frames, balconies and entrances in one go. For a school such as Barham Church of England Primary School, perimeter mastic on windows and doors is a holiday job.

Advice
When something else is needed
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we are upfront when that’s the case. These need a different solution:
- Masonry that has broken away beside the joint
- Leaks from above rather than through a joint
- Asbestos-containing sealant, which we don’t remove
If in doubt, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email us and we will say what we think.
What we seal
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
- Balcony and threshold joints
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
- External wall and movement joints
Different surfaces, different methods
Estate-wide resealing programmes
Priority order can follow condition, complaints or your maintenance plan. You get one fixed quote per building or for the whole estate.
Tenement and older buildings
Some old mastics in pre-2000 buildings contain asbestos and the register is checked before anything is disturbed. Suspect material is tested before work continues.
