Mastic sealing across Sleaford
Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
The first thing on site is a walk round with your contact, agreeing which joints are in scope, where to start and what must stay open. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in. Jobs in and around smaller places like Sleaford are normally planned as a single visit, so photos and measurements up front really help. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- Each block or building is walked and the failed joints recorded with the likely cause.
- You get a fixed quote, priced per building where that helps your budgeting.
- The programme is fixed with you, including dates you can pass on to residents or tenants.
- Failed mastic is removed and the faces taken back to sound, dry material.
- Backing rod and primer go in as the joint requires, then the new bead is placed and tooled.
- Each building is checked on completion and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
What we need from you
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Flag any permit to work we will need
Getting a fixed quote
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photographs and a few notes.
Advice
Mastic sealing for commercial buildings in Sleaford
Mastic Doctor has sealed joints on commercial and residential blocks since 2005. Every applicator holds a CSCS card, and the work is backed by public liability insurance. Each building we complete carries a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. If you are dealing with communal area joints that look neglected and brittle perimeter mastic across a building, we can put it right, on shopfronts below residential blocks, external wall and movement joints and communal entrances and stairwells alike. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: on jobs in Sleaford, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Rural conversions near places like Sleaford 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.

For managing agents and facilities managers

Planned maintenance programmes are welcome: working through a building or an estate in stages that fit your budget. Sites in Sleaford can sit alongside others in a wider programme.
Frames, entrances and external joints in Sleaford
Central London is about 41 miles from Sleaford. Within reach of London, blocks run by agents and associations are common around stations. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Even so, frame mastic only goes on in dry, workable conditions, and elevations facing the sun and the prevailing weather are typically where frame mastic ages first.
Churches, halls and community buildings such as Church of All Saints are looked after by trustees and committees like any other owner, and their frames, doors and external joints need mastic renewed in time. If you own or manage units on a site such as Bordon Trading Estate (1.5 miles south-west of Sleaford), failed mastic on frames, door surrounds and external joints can be dealt with unit by unit. If you look after a block within reach of Bentley (Hampshire) station, 3.2 miles north of Sleaford, frame and balcony mastic can be renewed on one programme.

Should maintenance staff do it?
Some joints are best left to specialists: for instance fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong usually costs more in the end than doing them right.
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.
What we can’t put right
Being straight saves everyone time. New sealant won’t cure:
- Broken glass or failed sealed units
- Roof leaks, gutters or failed flashings that aren’t sealant joints
- Masonry that has broken away beside the joint
If you’re not sure, just call 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
What we seal
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- Balcony and threshold joints
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
- External wall and movement joints
Keeping the joints sound
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Share your contractor requirements early
- Track which buildings were done and when
- Encourage occupiers to report problems at frames
- Protect low-level joints in entrances
Keep bins, bikes and deliveries away from low-level joints where you can. Damage at low level is the most common reason communal joints fail early.
Leaks at window perimeters spoil finishes and can affect frames. Early resealing is far simpler than repairs inside.

Common questions from Sleaford clients
Is Sleaford too far out for you?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Will you take on a block within reach of Bentley (Hampshire) station?
Yes. Managing agents, landlords, property factors and housing associations are who this service is for. We work to your notice and access arrangements.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No, never. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so it all comes out first.
How do you choose the sealant?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
What guarantee do you give on resealing?
Our workmanship carries a 12-month guarantee, backed by public liability insurance.
Is asbestos a concern with old mastic?
Some mastics in pre-2000 buildings contain asbestos. We ask for the asbestos register or survey before work starts 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.
Cost factors for mastic joints
Your fixed quote is built from the real scope. It allows for:
- How accessible the joints are
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.
What to include in your enquiry
However big the job, the same details help:
- Access details, including height
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- When you need the work done
- What the building is and how it’s used
