Should maintenance staff do it?
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. The usual problems come from 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 we’ll confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
About our mastic sealing in Southgate
Our clients include managing agents, property factors in Scotland, housing associations and landlords with block or commercial portfolios. A planned, building-by-building programme often works better than reacting to each complaint, with each block quoted and scheduled in turn. If you have water getting in round frames after rain and open joints in brickwork or panels, we can help. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Southgate? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005.
Across Greater London, Southgate included, the ULEZ applies, and parking and loading rules differ from street to street. For a block or estate, it helps to know where we can park and stage materials.

Our process
Occupied buildings need a little choreography. We sign and contain the area we are in, with routes through the building left open and move on in phases so staff and visitors can carry on around us. Planning a London job such as one in Southgate starts with access: booked loading, goods lifts, the building’s permit system and a spot to keep materials. Send the building rules and access times with your enquiry.
- 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 programme is fixed with you, including dates you can pass on to residents or tenants.
- 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.
- Each building is checked on completion and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use

Your questions answered
Can you quote for a block close to New Southgate station?
Yes. Managing agents, landlords, property factors and housing associations are who this service is for. Give us the building’s details and say how residents are notified, and we’ll quote and plan to suit.
Can you work at a site such as Brunswick Industrial Estate, by Southgate?
Yes, sites like Brunswick Industrial Estate are within our area, along with the rest of Southgate. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Do you check for asbestos in old sealant?
We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials. Anything suspect is tested before we carry on, and the duty to manage asbestos sits with the dutyholder.
Is Southgate in your area?
Yes. We take on work across Southgate.
Which sealant will you use?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
Do you do block-wide mastic programmes?
Yes, planned programmes suit estates and portfolios. The quote can be split however suits your budgeting.
When is resealing likely to be due?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
Building owners, agents and FMs in Southgate
Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients book us directly too. We plan around the way the building is used, so the building keeps working while we do.
If you look after buildings for someone else, you need clear quotes and clear reporting. You get a fixed quote, an agreed scope and a walk round at the end.
What we can’t put right
Being straight saves everyone time. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- Glazing that needs replacing
- Water coming in from the roof or rainwater goods
- Cracked or crumbling render, brick or stone at the joint edges (we’ll tell you if so)
If in doubt, ring 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll say what we think.

Why act early in Southgate
Adding sealant to cyclical maintenance is an easy win. Waiting until leaks appear means working under pressure and less choice about when. Failed sealant in a building in Southgate can quickly affect neighbours, tenants or the floor below: water travels through shared structures, and a small leak becomes a dispute between occupiers. Dealing with it early is simpler for everyone.
Pricing mastic joints depends on quantities, condition and access, plus any specification you are working to. Ask us for a fixed quote.
