Looking after the joints
After handover, these steps help:
- Make it easy for occupiers to report draughts
- Look at the sunniest and most exposed elevations first
- Log resealing dates block by block
- Check the asbestos register before any old mastic is disturbed
Our workmanship is covered for 12 months, so report any failure in that time. Beyond that, routine checks spot the next round of repairs.
Left open, joint edges in render, brick or frames can deteriorate. Then the edges may need repairing first and the job grows.
How we handle mastic sealing in Sheerwater
We diagnose before we prescribe: which joints have failed, why, and whether sealant is the right answer. 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. The enquiries we see most involve movement joints with sealant missing and window mastic that has split and shrunk, on communal entrances and stairwells, window and door perimeters on blocks and balcony and threshold joints. Searching for sealant specialists in Sheerwater? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005, CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
Rural conversions near places like Sheerwater often set modern frames into older stone, flint or brick. The mastic needs to suit an irregular masonry face and the look of the building.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

Why deal with it now?
Looking at mastic during planned maintenance costs little. Waiting until leaks appear means working under pressure with less control over timing. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Sheerwater, rather than one at a time. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.
Why us?
- CHAS accredited contractor

Questions we’re asked in Sheerwater
Will you take on work at estates like Kingsway Business Park, close to Sheerwater?
Yes. Our area takes in Sheerwater and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Kingsway Business Park included. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
We manage a building near West Byfleet station. Can you help?
Yes. Blocks of any size are within what we do. We work to your notice and access arrangements.
What guarantee do you give on resealing?
There is a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, backed by public liability insurance.
What about access for upper-floor joints?
Access is discussed and agreed before the quote is fixed. Tell us the number of storeys and whether scaffold or other access is planned, and we will tell you how we’d approach it.
Is Sheerwater in your area?
Yes. Sites across Sheerwater are covered, with one number for every area we cover.
How do you choose the sealant?
The specification comes first, if there is one. Without one, the joint decides: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
How long does a typical visit take?
It depends on the scope, but the work usually takes one or more days per building, depending on the joint lengths and the access. For bigger or phased jobs, we’ll set out a timescale with the quote.
