Mastic sealing in Nettlestead
Mastic Doctor has sealed joints on commercial and residential blocks since 2005. Every applicator holds a CSCS card and we hold public liability insurance. Each building we complete carries a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. We work on communal entrances and stairwells, window and door perimeters on blocks and external wall and movement joints, and what we’re called in for most is damp patches beside frames and occupiers reporting cold air round windows. Whoever orders the work in Nettlestead, the brief is typically the same: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
For owners with a single building near Nettlestead, we plan to finish in one visit where possible. Photos of each elevation help us quote accurately.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

General trades versus a specialist
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. The usual problems come from preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
Cost factors for mastic joints
We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- The size and state of each joint
- Distance, for remote addresses
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
Pricing mastic joints depends on quantities, condition and access, plus any specification you’re working to. Ask us for a fixed quote.
What we need to price the job
However big the job, the same details help:
- What the building is and how it’s used
- When you need the work done
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
Send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed: that’s how every job runs. The first step is to ring 01277 525 020 or email us with what you know.
Our process
When we get to site, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before anything is cut or cleaned, with the work itself usually taking anything from a day to a few weeks, depending on the number of buildings and joints. Smaller jobs around Nettlestead can be grouped with others nearby, which keeps travel down. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.
- We inspect each building and record the joints that have failed.
- 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.
- Each building is checked and signed off with the 12-month guarantee.
Getting the site ready
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- Move anything stored against the joints

Planned mastic for Nettlestead portfolios
Nettlestead is about 28 miles from central London. Around the capital’s commuter belt, managing agents look after many blocks close to stations and town centres. Nettlestead sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Outside mastic still needs a dry joint and the right temperature, and south- and west-facing elevations, which take the most sun and rain, often age first.
Property owners at sites such as Mereworth Business Centre (1.1 miles north-west of Nettlestead) can have mastic renewed between lettings. If your remit includes a building such as Wateringbury Church of England Primary School, frame and door mastic can be programmed for the holidays. If you manage student housing near a university such as University for the Creative Arts - Maidstone, 3.8 miles to the north-east of Nettlestead, the summer turnaround is the time for mastic.
Nettlestead is about 5 miles west of Maidstone, in Kent. We send applicators to Nettlestead for mastic joints. Nettlestead is one of 931 places we cover in Kent. Sites around London have their own page, about 28 miles away.

What sealant work can’t fix
Being straight saves everyone time. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- Failed window or door frames, which need a window contractor
- Old mastic suspected of containing asbestos, which must be tested and dealt with by a specialist first
- Water coming in from the roof or rainwater goods
If you are not sure, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Is asbestos a concern with old mastic?
In older buildings, old mastic can contain asbestos. We check the asbestos register or survey before disturbing it and suspect material is tested first.

When is resealing likely to be due?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
Keeping the joints sound
After handover, these steps help:
- Make it easy for occupiers to report draughts
- Have the asbestos survey to hand for older buildings
- Keep a record of when each building was resealed
- Include mastic in your cyclical inspections
Log the date and extent of the resealing for each block. It helps plan the next round and shows what was done.
Budgets are easier to plan when sealant is part of planned maintenance. A programme can start with the worst buildings so spending is spread.
