About our mastic sealing in Rudmore
Before work starts, most agents and landlords want the documents in order. Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote. We are a Constructionline member and CHAS accredited, and we carry public liability insurance. Site teams most often ask us about mastic failing across several blocks on an estate and failed external movement joints, across window and door perimeters on blocks, balcony and threshold joints and communal kitchens and washrooms. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Rudmore? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005, CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
Older buildings and conversions around places like Rudmore mix old masonry with newer frames. The mastic there needs to suit both surfaces.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months, in Rudmore as everywhere else we work. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

Quoting for work in Rudmore
To price the job, we consider:
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Working within restricted access windows
- How accessible the joints are
Cost follows what’s involved: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a fixed quote and we will explain how it’s made up.
What we need to price the job
However big the job, these details speed things up:
- The postcode of the building
- The product your specification calls for
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- Your programme or deadline
To get a fixed quote, phone 01277 525 020 or use the quote form, telling us the site location and the nature of the job. Our quote form is another easy route.
Why deal with it now?
A bead run over old mastic can look like a repair. It doesn’t bond and normally fails within a short time. Cutting out and resealing properly does it once. In a smaller place such as Rudmore, getting a contractor back for a second visit takes time, so we’d suggest renewing all the joints that are going, not just the worst.
The price depends on how many linear metres there are, what has to come out first and how the joints are reached. Call for a quote once you have the details.
Why us?
- One contact handling all your sites
- Fixed quotes based on photographs, drawings or a visit
- Failed material removed, not covered up
- Standard and matched colours in many product ranges

Our process
In a busy building, the work is phased so only one area is out of use at a time. Each section is protected, cleaned back and sealed before we move to the next. For a job in Rudmore, the main thing is a clear picture of the work. You will then get a fixed price for the work.
- We inspect each building and record the joints that have failed.
- The quote is fixed and split as suits you.
- Dates and areas are agreed so occupiers can be told.
- Old mastic is removed and the joint faces prepared.
- New sealant goes in with backing rod and primer where needed.
- We check the finished work and confirm the guarantee.
What we need from you
- Flag any permit to work we will need
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
Ask for a quote
Quotes are fixed against the scope you send, so the cost is agreed before work starts. To start the process, ring 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.
Advice
After the work
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Mention RAMS, insurance or CSCS requirements up front
- Log resealing dates block by block
- Ask residents or tenants to report leaks and draughts early
- Avoid piecemeal callouts where you can
Log the date and extent of the resealing for each block. That makes future programmes easier to plan and shows what was done.
Left open, joint edges in render, brick or frames can deteriorate. Once that happens, repairs come before resealing.

Questions about Rudmore
We manage a building near Portsmouth & Southsea station. Can you help?
Yes. Blocks of any size are within what we do. Send the address, photographs of the elevations and your access arrangements, and we’ll give a fixed quote.
Our building in Rudmore is near the coast: does that change the sealant?
It can. Coastal exposure works external joints harder than inland weather. We choose the product for the exposure, prime where the manufacturer requires it and size the joint for its movement.
Is mastic sealing guaranteed?
There is a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, backed by public liability insurance.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No, never. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so everything comes out first.
Can weather delay the job?
Outside, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Inside work is seldom held up.
How long does a typical visit take?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. You will have an expected duration with the quote.
What about access for upper-floor joints?
We talk through access for each building when we quote. Tell us the building height and any access already in place and we’ll confirm the approach in the quote.
Frames, entrances and external joints in Rudmore
Rudmore is within about 1 mile of the coast. Blocks and commercial buildings facing the sea take the most weather on their window perimeters and external joints. Rudmore sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. External mastic still waits for dry faces and the right temperature, and the sunniest, most exposed sides of a building normally need attention first.

Property owners at sites such as Victory Retail Park, 0.5 miles to the south-west of Rudmore, can have mastic renewed between lettings.
