About our mastic sealing in Waddon
Blocks are lived in, so access and disruption have to be thought through. The sequence, the areas and the dates are settled with you so you can let residents know what is happening. Communal entrances and stairs stay usable while we work. If you have repeated reactive repairs to the same buildings and the same joint failures repeated across a portfolio, we can put it right, on external wall and movement joints, balcony and threshold joints and communal entrances and stairwells alike. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Waddon? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005, with CSCS-carded applicators.
London has a large stock of purpose-built blocks, mansion flats and converted buildings managed by agents and housing associations. Window and door perimeters, balcony joints and communal areas all have mastic that ages together across a building.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

What happens if it’s left?
Reacting to every complaint means sending someone out block by block. Planned resealing covers a whole building or estate in one go and is simpler to manage and budget. Getting scaffold, permits or access booked in Waddon takes effort, so it makes sense to deal with every failing joint while access is in place.
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits.

How a job runs
Where the site stays busy, the work is phased so only one area is out of use at a time. Each area is protected, prepared and sealed before the next one starts. Planning a London job such as one in Waddon starts with access. Send the building rules and access times with your enquiry.
- 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 programme is fixed with you, including dates you can pass on to residents or tenants.
- Old sealant is stripped and each face prepared back to firm material.
- Backing rod and primer go in where the joint and the product need them, then new sealant is applied and tooled.
- Finished joints are looked over and the 12-month guarantee confirmed.
Getting the site ready
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
- Confirm the product named in the specification

Advice
What sealant work can’t fix
Being straight saves everyone time. New sealant won’t cure:
- Frames that are rotten, warped or broken
- Glazing that needs replacing
- Cracked or crumbling render, brick or stone at the joint edges (we will tell you if so)
Not sure which it is? You can call 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Balcony and threshold joints
- Communal kitchens and washrooms

What we’re called out for in Waddon
Communal entrances and corridors see a lot of wear, and low-level joints get damaged. Cleaning products add to the wear.
Typical triggers for a call:
- Window mastic that has split and shrunk
- Water getting in round frames after rain
- Estate-wide sealant that is simply worn out
- No planned programme for sealant
Site managers at schools like Aerodrome Primary Academy can fit frame mastic into the summer works.
What to look for in a quote
- How they’ll work around occupants
- The named product and why it was chosen
- Their public liability cover
- Are they CHAS accredited or on Constructionline?
Looking after buildings in and around Waddon
For a London block, the agent or landlord normally handles notices to residents and access to flats. We work to your notice and access plan. Waddon has seven care or nursing homes no more than 2 miles away. For owners and operators of care buildings, window perimeters and external joints are best renewed in planned phases around residents.
Historic properties like Addington Palace, 3.1 miles east of Waddon, show the age of some local stock, where frame mastic must suit soft brick or stone. If you are responsible for a building such as Church of St George, frame and door mastic needs the same attention as any other property.

How the job changes by surface
Commercial and mixed-use buildings
Commercial occupiers typically stay open during the work so the work is phased.
Communal areas
Joints at low level in communal areas take knocks from bins, bikes and buggies and tend to fail first.
After the work
Once the work is signed off, a little attention goes a long way:
- Look at the sunniest and most exposed elevations first
- Mention RAMS, insurance or CSCS requirements up front
- Have the asbestos survey to hand for older buildings
- Log resealing dates block by block
Ask residents or tenants to report draughts or leaks round windows early. Early reports catch failures before damage spreads.
Leaks at window perimeters spoil finishes and can affect frames. Resealing early keeps the job small.
Questions about Waddon
Can you work in a London building with booked loading and goods-lift slots?
Yes. Inductions, permits and timed loading are routine for us in London. Send the building rules and access times with your enquiry. The ULEZ covers the whole of Greater London, which we allow for
Can you work in a care home near Waddon with residents in?
Yes, with the manager deciding the order and timing of rooms. Noise and disruption are kept to a minimum.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No, never. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so it all comes out first.
When can the area be used after sealing?
We’ll confirm how long the chosen product needs to cure, and sign any area that should be left alone.
What if the old mastic contains asbestos?
Asbestos removal isn’t part of our work. If old sealant is suspected, work stops until it’s tested, and the duty to manage asbestos sits with the dutyholder.
What’s the quickest route to a quote?
There are four steps: send details, receive a fixed quote, we carry out the work, and it’s guaranteed. Step one needs little more than photographs and a postcode.
How do you reach windows on upper floors?
Every block is different. We agree access with you at quote stage so the fixed quote reflects it.
