Mastic Doctor has sealed joints on commercial and residential blocks since 2005. Our applicators are CSCS-carded and we hold public liability insurance.

Around smaller places like Tendring Heath, older walls fitted with newer windows are a familiar sight. Perimeter mastic there has to grip an uneven face and suit the building’s character.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

What sets the cost
We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Working within restricted access windows
The product called for affects the cost, as does the preparation each joint needs. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
Details that help us quote
It doesn’t need to be a full survey. These details are enough to start:
- Your programme or deadline
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
Every job follows the same four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. To take the first step, ring 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.
Our process
Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will plan around them. On the day, the work area is kept contained and tidy, and your contact hears from us before we move to the next area. If others near Tendring Heath need work, visits can be combined. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.
- Each block or building is walked and the failed joints recorded with the likely cause.
- A fixed quote follows, split by block or building if that suits you.
- The sequence and the dates are fixed with you, giving you what you need to notify occupiers.
- We remove the old mastic completely and clean the joint faces back.
- Backing rod and primer go in as the joint requires, then the new bead is placed and tooled.
- Finished joints are looked over and the 12-month guarantee confirmed.
Preparing the site
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Send your site hours and access windows

Leave it or put it right?
Replacing mastic before water gets in is a planned job. After water has got in, there may be damp, damaged plaster or decoration to put right too and occupiers notice. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Tendring Heath, rather than one at a time. Send photos of each area and we will quote for the lot.
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well.

How the job changes by surface
Commercial and mixed-use buildings
Landlords with commercial portfolios have shopfronts, office entrances and external joints to look after. A planned programme suits multi-building portfolios.
Estate-wide resealing programmes
An estate of similar buildings suits a rolling programme. We quote building by building and work through them in turn.
What we can’t put right
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we are upfront when that’s the case. These need a different solution:
- Masonry that has broken away beside the joint
- Materials that need asbestos testing before work
- Leaks through the frame itself rather than the perimeter
Not sure which it is? You can call the office on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll tell you honestly.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Balcony and threshold joints
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
- External wall and movement joints
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
Signs you need mastic sealing in Tendring Heath
Much failed sealant was laid on dirty, dusty or damp surfaces. Where the faces weren’t cleaned or primed as specified, the bead peels off one side.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- No planned programme for sealant
- Brittle perimeter mastic across a building
- Occupiers reporting cold air round windows
- Patchy repairs in mismatched sealant
With historic buildings such as Thorpe Hall, 4.2 miles south-east of Tendring Heath, in the wider area, owners of older properties around Tendring Heath should expect mastic to need a product that suits old masonry.

Tendring Heath: questions and answers
Can you quote for a block close to Weeley station?
Yes, we work for agents, landlords and housing associations with blocks of every size. Give us the building’s details and say how residents are notified, and we will quote and plan to suit.
Does your area include sites such as Oak Business Park, near Tendring Heath?
Yes. We cover Tendring Heath and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Oak Business Park. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.
How long before the joints can be used?
Curing time varies by product, and we confirm it on the day, and sign any area that should be left alone.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance.
Is mastic sealing guaranteed?
A 12-month guarantee covers our work. It covers our workmanship, not later building movement, damage or frame failures.
Can people stay in the building while you reseal?
Residents and tenants carry on as normal. We flag any areas that need internal access well before the dates so it can be arranged.

Planned mastic for Tendring Heath portfolios
Tendring Heath lies roughly 58 miles out from central London. Within reach of London, blocks run by agents and associations are common around stations. Tendring Heath sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Even so, frame mastic only goes on in dry, workable conditions, and south- and west-facing elevations, which take the most sun and rain, often age first.
Older community buildings, Church of St Mary among them, often have frames of mixed ages whose mastic varies. Buildings close to stations like Weeley station, 3 miles to the south of Tendring Heath, are often flats over shops, with frame mastic to keep sound.
