Mastic sealing for commercial buildings in Ware
Mastic Doctor has sealed joints on commercial and residential blocks since 2005. Our applicators are CSCS-carded and we hold public liability insurance. Resealed mastic joints in Ware carry our 12-month guarantee. If you have the same joint failures repeated across a portfolio and open joints in brickwork or panels, we can put it right, on communal kitchens and washrooms, communal entrances and stairwells and balcony and threshold joints alike. Most enquiries from Ware start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Owners and agents with buildings around smaller places such as Ware tend to manage small terraces of association properties, converted barns and commercial units. Frame and wall-joint mastic on all of them ages and hardens.
We stand by our work: 12 months, guaranteed. That covers our preparation and application, and we come back if anything isn’t right.

How the job changes by surface
Tenement and older buildings
Older mastic can contain asbestos, so we check the asbestos register or survey first. Suspect material is tested before work continues.
Estate-wide resealing programmes
An estate of similar buildings suits a rolling programme. Each block is priced and scheduled in order.
Common questions from Ware clients
Will you take on a block within reach of Minster station?
Yes. Managing agents, landlords, property factors and housing associations are who this service is for. Send the address, photographs of the elevations and your access arrangements, and we will give a fixed quote.
Is Ware off your patch?
No. Places such as Ware are covered as much as the big towns. We work across Greater London and the South East. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
Do you work for managing agents and housing associations?
Yes. Most of our mastic sealing is for agents, factors, housing associations and portfolio landlords and work can be quoted per building or as a whole.
Can you plan resealing across several buildings?
Yes, planned programmes suit estates and portfolios. You get a fixed quote per building or for the whole job.
Is asbestos a concern with old mastic?
Some mastics in pre-2000 buildings contain asbestos. We check the asbestos register or survey before disturbing it, and if it’s suspected, work stops until it’s tested.
Do you guarantee the mastic work?
A 12-month guarantee covers our work. It covers our workmanship, not later building movement, damage or frame failures.
When it isn’t the sealant
A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. You will hear from us if the cause turns out to be any of the following:
- Old mastic suspected of containing asbestos, which must be tested and dealt with by a specialist first
- Failed window or door frames, which need a window contractor
- Masonry that has broken away beside the joint
Not sure which it is? You can give us a call on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Building owners, agents and FMs in Ware
Facilities managers want contractors who arrive with the paperwork sorted. Let us know the documents you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
General trades versus a specialist
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but larger jobs are different: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. The usual problems come from preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
On site: what to expect
Site rules come first: signing in, inductions and any permit to work. Once we’re cleared to begin, we take the joints in the sequence agreed with you, and each area is checked before we leave it. For a building around Ware, tell us how to find it and who will meet us. Add it to your enquiry and we will build it into the plan.
- 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.
- New sealant goes in with backing rod and primer where needed.
- We check the finished work and confirm the guarantee.
Preparing the site
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs

Aftercare for building managers
For the best life from the joints:
- Reduce knocks to communal area joints
- Avoid piecemeal callouts where you can
- Encourage occupiers to report problems at frames
- Check the asbestos register before any old mastic is disturbed
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.
Mastic sealing in Ware: the local picture
Ware is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. Outside mastic still needs a dry joint and the right temperature, and the sunniest, most exposed sides of a building normally need attention first. Ware is about 60 miles from central London. Commuter-belt towns tend to have plenty of managed blocks near stations and town centres, and window and balcony mastic on them tends to age at the same rate.
With historic buildings such as Goodnestone Park, 4.3 miles to the south-west of Ware, in the wider area, owners of older properties around Ware should expect mastic to need a product that suits old masonry. Property owners at sites such as Monkton Business Centre (2.7 miles north of Ware) can have mastic renewed between lettings. Blocks of flats and mixed-use buildings often cluster around stations such as Minster station (2.9 miles north-east of Ware) and their window and balcony mastic tends to age at the same rate across a building.
