Mastic sealing across Statenborough
Photos, a specification or a quick description of the joints is enough to start a fixed quote.
Different surfaces, different methods
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.
External movement joints
External movement joints take up expansion and contraction. Once that sealant goes, rain can reach the wall.
Mastic sealing for commercial buildings in Statenborough
On a residential block, the work happens around people’s lives. Dates, areas and the order of work are agreed with you in advance, giving you what you need to notify residents. Entrances and stairwells are kept in use throughout. We work on shopfronts below residential blocks, communal entrances and stairwells and window and door perimeters on blocks, and the failures we are asked to look at most are worn sealant at communal door frames and estate-wide sealant that is simply worn out. Searching for sealant specialists in Statenborough? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005.
Rural conversions near places like Statenborough 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 stand behind the joints we seal: 12 months, guaranteed. That covers our preparation and application, and if something we did falls short, we return to it.

Common problems we fix in Statenborough
Many failed joints were sealed without backing rod so the mastic is bonded on three sides. That three-sided adhesion stops it stretching and it tears.
Most enquiries start with one or more of the following:
- Draughts at frames across a block
- Water getting in round frames after rain
- Open joints in brickwork or panels
- Mastic failing across several blocks on an estate
Landlords with units on estates such as Birnham Farm Business Centre, 1.4 miles to the west of Statenborough, can bring frame, door and external mastic across several units into one programme.
Questions to ask before you book
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
- Who will actually carry out the work
Keeping the joints sound
After handover, a little attention goes a long way:
- Log resealing dates block by block
- Start inspections with the most exposed faces
- Check sealant joints during planned building inspections
- Reduce knocks to communal area joints
Include sealant in planned building inspections. Watch for splits, open gaps, hard or chalky surfaces and mastic pulling away, and note the building and elevation.
Planned resealing is easier to budget than emergency repairs. We can quote buildings in priority order so spending is spread.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. The usual problems come from preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
How a job runs
We begin with a short walk round with whoever looks after the building, to confirm the scope, the order of work and any areas we must keep clear. Then we strip out anything that has failed, prepare every joint and seal it. Smaller jobs around Statenborough can be grouped with others nearby, which keeps travel down. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.
- First comes a look at the joints and, for older buildings, the asbestos records.
- The products and programme are set out in a fixed quote.
- We strip out the old sealant.
- The joints are prepared and resealed with the right product.
