Different surfaces, different methods
Commercial and mixed-use buildings
Where retail and residential share a building the programme has to suit everyone. We plan around the site hours and access windows you give us.
External movement joints
Brickwork, blockwork and panel joints let a building move. Once that sealant goes, rain can reach the wall.
About our mastic sealing in Moulsoe
Older blocks and commercial buildings can have mastic that contains asbestos. Before we disturb it, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey, and work stops for testing if there’s any doubt. Removing asbestos-containing material isn’t something we do. We work on window and door perimeters on blocks, balcony and threshold joints and communal entrances and stairwells, and the failures we are asked to look at most are open joints in brickwork or panels and old repairs sealed over failed mastic. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Moulsoe? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005, CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
For owners with a single building near Moulsoe, we plan to finish in one visit where possible. Photos of each elevation help us quote accurately.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

General trades versus a specialist
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint, which is what makes a joint last.
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. Where it goes wrong is preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
Aftercare for building managers
Once the work is signed off, a little attention goes a long way:
- Protect low-level joints in entrances
- Have the asbestos survey to hand for older buildings
- Start inspections with the most exposed faces
- Keep a record of when each building was resealed
If paintable sealant was used, decoration can follow once it has cured. Non-paintable silicone shouldn’t be painted over.
Failed mastic often goes unnoticed until heavy rain finds it. Resealing when cracking first shows avoids water damage and the complaints that come with it.
Common questions from Moulsoe clients
Can you work at a site such as Cromwell Business Park, by Moulsoe?
Yes, sites like Cromwell Business Park are within our area, along with the rest of Moulsoe. To start, just call 01277 525 020 or email the details over with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
We manage a building near Woburn Sands station. Can you help?
Yes. Blocks of any size are within what we do. Photos of each elevation help us quote accurately.
What if the old mastic contains asbestos?
We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials. Anything suspect is tested before we carry on in line with the dutyholder’s asbestos management.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
For external joints, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Internal work is rarely affected.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and the quote will be based on it.
How long does a typical visit take?
It depends on the scope, though a typical visit typically takes one or more days per building, depending on the joint lengths and the access. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we’ll give you a timescale with the quote.
What paperwork can you provide?
Our credentials include CHAS, Constructionline and public liability insurance. For specific documents, tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
We schedule the visit to fit the site hours and access windows you give us. On the day, the work area is kept contained and tidy, and we check in with your contact before moving on to each new area. For a building around Moulsoe, tell us how to find it and who will meet us. Add it to your enquiry and we will build it into the plan.

Advice
Why deal with it now?
Leaving failed external joints lets water reach the structure behind. Damp patches, stained plaster and decorating claims can follow, which is harder to deal with than resealing. Converted and older buildings near places like Moulsoe tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.
Why us?

Planned mastic for Moulsoe portfolios
Central London is about 46 miles from Moulsoe. Within reach of London, blocks run by agents and associations are common around stations; their frame mastic often ages block-wide. Moulsoe sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Even so, frame mastic only goes on in dry, workable conditions, and elevations facing the sun and the prevailing weather are usually where frame mastic ages first.
Blocks of flats and mixed-use buildings often cluster around stations such as Woburn Sands station, 3.5 miles south of Moulsoe, and their window and balcony mastic tends to age at the same rate across a building. Property owners at sites such as Cromwell Business Park (to the north-west of Moulsoe) can have mastic renewed between lettings. Historic properties like Linford Manor, 3.4 miles west of Moulsoe, show the age of some local stock, where frame mastic must suit soft brick or stone.

How the quote is worked out
These are the things that shape the price:
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Phasing around occupants
- How much there is to seal
The specified product makes a difference, and so does the preparation, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
What to include in your enquiry
A few photographs plus some basic facts will normally do. It helps to include:
- What the building is and how it’s used
- Clear photos of the problem areas
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- Specification clauses that apply
Every quote starts with the facts: what’s there, how much of it, how we reach it and what’s specified. Send what you have, and we’ll arrange a site visit if anything is unclear.
