Mastic sealing near Uxbridge
Send drawings, photos or a joint schedule, or tell us about the site, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Should maintenance staff do it?
There’s also the paperwork. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and we’ll confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
Some joints are best left to specialists: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
Mastic sealing in Uxbridge, done properly
Mastic Doctor has sealed joints on commercial and residential blocks since 2005. Every applicator holds a CSCS card, and the work is backed by public liability insurance. Resealed mastic joints in Uxbridge carry our 12-month guarantee. We work on balcony and threshold joints, shopfronts below residential blocks and external wall and movement joints, and the failures we are asked to look at most are brittle perimeter mastic across a building and draught complaints from residents or tenants. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Uxbridge, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
In a London area such as Uxbridge, many buildings are blocks of flats or mixed-use buildings run by managing agents, landlords or housing associations. Mastic around windows, doors and balconies tends to fail across a whole block at a similar time, which is why block-wide programmes make sense.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we are clear about what is covered before work starts.

Honest limits
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Failed window or door frames, which need a window contractor
- Asbestos-containing sealant, which we don’t remove
- Leaks from above rather than through a joint
If in doubt, ring 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Balcony and threshold joints
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- External wall and movement joints
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
Owners, agents and contractors
Whether you’re a managing agent, a property factor or an owner’s representative: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed. We can agree access arrangements and keyholder contacts beforehand.
For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor. Programme, specification and site rules come first, with CSCS-carded applicators on site.
Common problems we fix in Uxbridge
Frames, panels and masonry expand and contract through the year, and the sealant takes up that movement. If the joint or the product wasn’t suited to the movement, it splits long before it should.
Typical triggers for a call:
- Damaged joints in communal entrances and corridors
- Window mastic that has split and shrunk
- Occupiers reporting cold air round windows
- Water getting in round frames after rain
Property owners at sites such as Cowley Business Park, 0.6 miles south-west of Uxbridge, can have mastic renewed between lettings.
What your quote should include
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
- Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
Our process
Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them. While we’re working, the area stays contained and tidy, and your contact hears from us before we move to the next area. The ULEZ covers the whole of Greater London, and parking near a job is rarely simple. If there’s a loading bay, a car park or a permit we can use, tell us when you send details.
- We inspect each building and record the joints that have failed.
- The quote is fixed and split as suits you.
- Dates and areas are agreed so occupiers can be told.
- Old mastic is removed and the joint faces prepared.
- Joints are resealed and tooled.
- We check the finished work and confirm the guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
Quotes
Every quote starts with the facts: what’s there, how much of it, how we reach it and what’s specified. Send what you have, and we will arrange a site visit if anything is unclear.

Do you do block-wide mastic programmes?
Yes. We survey and price each building, then work through them in order starting wherever is most urgent.
How soon can the area be used again?
That comes down to the sealant and the temperature. Some products skin over quickly but need longer to cure fully, so we’ll confirm the curing time on the day.

Surface by surface
Tenement and older buildings
Natural stone can be marked by the wrong sealant, so we pick a grade that won’t mark it.
Commercial and mixed-use buildings
Tenants in commercial buildings need to keep trading, so we plan around them.
