About our mastic sealing in Sewardstone
Treatment starts with a proper look: what has failed, what caused it and whether new sealant will actually solve it. Old mastic is removed entirely, the faces prepared, primer used where the maker specifies it and new sealant tooled in and backing rod used wherever a joint is deep. If you are dealing with draught complaints from residents or tenants and estate-wide sealant that is simply worn out, we can put it right, whatever the surface. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Sewardstone? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005, CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
In and around smaller places like Sewardstone, landlords and agents often look after small groups of housing association properties, converted farm buildings and community buildings. Frame and wall-joint mastic on all of them ages and hardens.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee, wherever the site is. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

What we can’t put right
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Glazing that needs replacing
- Frames that are rotten, warped or broken
- Asbestos-containing sealant, which we don’t remove
Not sure which it is? You can ring 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we seal
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
- External wall and movement joints
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
- Balcony and threshold joints
- Communal entrances and stairwells
Should maintenance staff do it?
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. Where it goes wrong is preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
Paperwork matters too. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
Leave it or put it right?
Failed perimeter mastic lets cold air in around frames and the windows typically get the blame. In many cases, new perimeter sealant deals with it where the frames themselves are sound. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Sewardstone, rather than one at a time. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
The price depends on how many linear metres there are, how much old material needs removing and the access. Call for a quote once you have the details.

On site: what to expect
A typical day starts with protection: masking tape along the joint edges and sheeting over anything nearby. The work itself usually takes a day or two for a single block, longer for an estate programme, and our waste is bagged and taken away as we go. Rural sites near Sewardstone may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Add it to your enquiry and we’ll build it into the plan.
- First we look at the mastic on each building and note what needs replacing.
- A fixed quote follows, split by block or building if that suits you.
- The sequence and the dates are fixed with you, giving you what you need to notify occupiers.
- We remove the old mastic completely and clean the joint faces back.
- Backing rod and primer go in where the joint and the product need them, then new sealant is applied and tooled.
- Completed joints are inspected and carry a 12-month workmanship guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000

FAQs: Sewardstone
Is Sewardstone too small for you to travel to?
No. Places such as Sewardstone are covered as much as the big towns. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Can you quote for a block close to Enfield Lock station?
Yes, and several blocks can go on one quote. We work to your notice and access arrangements.
Do you do block-wide mastic programmes?
Yes. Each building is inspected, quoted and scheduled in turn, and the programme can start with the worst.
How do you reach windows on upper floors?
Every block is different. How upper joints are reached is agreed before work is booked so the fixed quote reflects it.
Do you check for asbestos in old sealant?
In older buildings, old mastic can contain asbestos. We check the asbestos register or survey before disturbing it, and if it’s suspected, work stops until it’s tested.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
How long does a job like this take?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. We’ll give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
