About our mastic sealing in Roundbush
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 window and door perimeters on blocks, communal kitchens and washrooms and balcony and threshold joints, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are open joints in brickwork or panels and leaks at window and door perimeters. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Roundbush, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
In and around smaller places like Roundbush, 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.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months, wherever the site is. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

Why act early in Roundbush
Resealing ahead of leaks keeps it to a maintenance task. After water has got in, there may be damp, damaged plaster or decoration to put right too and occupiers notice. Halls, stores and units around places like Roundbush may not be checked every day, which gives a failed joint time to do damage. Resealing early avoids that.
Pricing mastic joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access, and any specification that applies. Ask us for a fixed quote.

External movement joints
Failed sealant is removed, backing rod inserted to control depth and the joint resealed with a grade whose movement class fits.
Common questions from Roundbush clients
Does your area include sites such as Mapledean Industrial Estate, near Roundbush?
Yes. Our area takes in Roundbush and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Mapledean Industrial Estate included. To start, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or email the details over with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Can being near the sea in Roundbush affect the sealant we need?
It can. Wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt air are harder on external joints. Product choice and preparation matter more, and sea-facing elevations are worth inspecting more often.
How do you choose the sealant?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
Do you work with property factors and landlords?
We do. Most of our mastic sealing is for agents, factors, housing associations and portfolio landlords and work can be quoted per building or as a whole.
How long before the joints can be used?
Curing time varies by product, and we confirm it on the day, and flag anything to keep off until it has cured.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
What if the old mastic contains asbestos?
In older buildings, old mastic can contain asbestos. We check the asbestos register or survey before disturbing it and suspect material is tested first.
Keeping the joints sound
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. We suggest:
- Plan resealing building by building rather than complaint by complaint
- Ask residents or tenants to report leaks and draughts early
- Keep a record of when each building was resealed
- Protect low-level joints in entrances
Where a paintable product was specified, it can be painted after curing. Silicone usually can’t be painted, so keep decorators off it.
Joints on a building age together so a single failure is a sign to check the rest. Doing them together saves going back again and again.

What else we do in Roundbush
Signs you need mastic sealing in Roundbush
Much failed sealant was laid on dirty, dusty or damp surfaces. Without clean, sound faces and a primer where the product needs one it comes away from one face.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- A mix of products and colours from past repairs
- Movement joints with sealant missing
- Brittle perimeter mastic across a building
- Complaints coming in block by block
If you are responsible for a building such as Parish Church of All Saints, frame and door mastic needs the same attention as any other property.
What to look for in a quote
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
- The terms of the workmanship guarantee

Sea-facing elevations take driven rain and salt, and their mastic shows it before the sheltered sides do, and they deserve more regular inspection. Central London is about 36 miles from Roundbush. Commuter-belt towns tend to have plenty of managed blocks near stations and town centres; their frame mastic often ages block-wide.
For owners of several units at places like Mapledean Industrial Estate, 1.1 miles to the south-east of Roundbush, one programme can deal with frame and external mastic across the lot.
