About our mastic sealing in Totteridge
Mastic Doctor has sealed joints on commercial and residential blocks since 2005. Every applicator holds a CSCS card and we hold public liability insurance. Each building we complete carries a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. The enquiries we see most involve old repairs sealed over failed mastic and open joints in brickwork or panels, on balcony and threshold joints, window and door perimeters on blocks and communal kitchens and washrooms. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Totteridge from the first photographs to the final walk-round, whether it’s one building or several.
In a smaller place such as Totteridge, landlords and agents tend to look after small blocks, flats over shops, sheltered housing and commercial units. The mastic around their frames and external joints ages like anywhere else.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

Keeping the joints sound
Regular inspection catches problems early. Specifically:
- Mention RAMS, insurance or CSCS requirements up front
- Group repairs into a planned programme
- Look at the sunniest and most exposed elevations first
- Protect low-level joints in entrances
Encourage occupiers to report water or draughts at frames. Early reports catch failures before damage spreads.
Mastic fails gradually, then all at once in a wet spell. Resealing when cracking first shows avoids water damage and the complaints that come with it.
Different surfaces, different methods
Commercial and mixed-use buildings
Mixed-use buildings combine shops below with flats or offices above, so phasing has to suit both. We plan around the site hours and access windows you give us.
External movement joints
Failed sealant is removed, backing rod inserted to control depth and the joint resealed with a grade whose movement class fits.
When something else is needed
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Water coming in from the roof or rainwater goods
- Asbestos-containing sealant, which we don’t remove
- 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 the details over and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Advice
For owners and agents in Totteridge
Rainfall across the South East, Totteridge included, is lower than in many 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 normally where frame mastic ages first. At about 29 miles from central London, Totteridge is within reach of the capital. Managed blocks of flats are a big part of commuter-belt property; their frame mastic often ages block-wide.
Churches, halls and community buildings such as St Andrew's Church 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 look after a block within reach of High Wycombe station (0.8 miles west of Totteridge), frame and balcony mastic can be renewed on one programme.
Totteridge is about 1 mile east of High Wycombe, in Buckinghamshire. We cover Totteridge and the rest of Buckinghamshire, with the same fixed quotes and 12-month guarantee as everywhere else.

When to call us in Totteridge
Much failed sealant was laid on dirty, dusty or damp surfaces. Where the faces weren’t cleaned or primed as specified it comes away from one face.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- The same joint failures repeated across a portfolio
- Brittle perimeter mastic across a building
- Complaints coming in block by block
- Draught complaints from residents or tenants
If you manage student housing near a university such as Buckinghamshire New University, which lies west of Totteridge, the summer turnaround is the time for mastic.

Totteridge: questions and answers
Will you take on work at estates like The Wye Industrial Estate, close to Totteridge?
Yes. Our area takes in Totteridge and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as The Wye Industrial Estate included. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Can you quote for a block close to High Wycombe station?
Yes. Managing agents, landlords, property factors and housing associations are who this service is for. Send the address, photos of the elevations and your access arrangements, and we will give a fixed quote.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
Will residents or tenants be disturbed?
We plan around people living or working in the building. We agree the programme so you can notify occupiers, and entrances stay in use.
Do you cover Totteridge?
Yes. We take on work across Totteridge.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and the quote will be based on it.
