About our mastic sealing in Stapleford Tawney
Older blocks and commercial buildings can have mastic that contains asbestos. We check the asbestos register or survey before any old sealant is cut out and if it’s suspected, work stops until it’s tested. Removing asbestos-containing material isn’t something we do. The enquiries we see most involve communal area joints that look neglected and occupiers reporting cold air round windows, on communal entrances and stairwells, window and door perimeters on blocks and shopfronts below residential blocks. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Stapleford Tawney? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005, with CSCS-carded applicators.
For owners with a single building near Stapleford Tawney, we plan to finish in one visit where possible. Send photos of the frames and joints and we’ll give a fixed quote.
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.

For owners and agents in Stapleford Tawney
Stapleford Tawney is about 16 miles from central London. Within reach of London, blocks run by agents and associations are common around stations. Stapleford Tawney is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. Outside work still depends on dry joints, and the sunniest, most exposed sides of a building normally need attention first.
For owners of several units at places like Hobbs Cross Business Centre (1.7 miles west of Stapleford Tawney), one programme can deal with frame and external mastic across the lot. Older buildings near Stapleford Tawney, from historic houses such as Hill Hall (to the west of Stapleford Tawney) to more modest stock, need compatible products when frames are resealed. If you are responsible for a building such as Church of St Mary, frame and door mastic needs the same attention as any other property.

On site: what to expect
When we get to site, we sign in, go through any site induction and check how permits are handled. Everything around the joints gets protected before any cutting starts, with the work itself typically taking a day or two for a single block, longer for an estate programme. Jobs in and around smaller places like Stapleford Tawney are normally planned as a single visit, so photographs and measurements up front really help. That way the right products come on the day.
- First we look at the mastic on each building and note what needs replacing.
- We send a fixed quote that sets out the joints, the products and the programme.
- 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.
- Completed joints are inspected and carry a 12-month workmanship guarantee.
Getting the site ready
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Agree which areas must stay open

Advice
What the job involves on each surface
Estate-wide resealing programmes
Housing associations and agents often manage many similar blocks. Each block is priced and scheduled in order.
Commercial and mixed-use buildings
Landlords with commercial portfolios have shopfronts, office entrances and external joints to look after. We work across portfolios on a planned basis.
Should maintenance staff do it?
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class, which is what makes a joint last.
There’s also the paperwork. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
Honest limits
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It won’t put right:
- Broken glass or failed sealed units
- Frames that are rotten, warped or broken
- Substrate edges that need repairing first
Not sure which it is? You can phone 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will tell you honestly.

What sets the cost
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, because every site is different. What we take into account:
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Phasing around occupants
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote and we will put a fixed figure on it.
Sending details for a quote
There’s no need for a formal survey. These details are enough to start:
- Access details, including height
- Clear photographs of the problem areas
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- The site address and postcode
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints are often enough for a fixed quote. Where a site visit makes more sense, we’ll arrange one.

What else we do in Stapleford Tawney
Your questions answered
Is Stapleford Tawney off your patch?
No. Places such as Stapleford Tawney are covered as much as the big towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Is Hobbs Cross Business Centre, near Stapleford Tawney, within your area?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Stapleford Tawney, Hobbs Cross Business Centre among them, are all within reach. To start, just ring 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
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.
Can you send RAMS and CSCS details before starting?
Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote. We hold CHAS accreditation and Constructionline membership.
How much does the work cost?
That depends on the job: quantities, access, the product and any phasing. Call for a quote.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
Outside, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Inside work is seldom held up.
Will residents or tenants be disturbed?
The work is planned around occupiers. We agree the programme so you can notify occupiers and communal access is kept open.
