About our mastic sealing in West Hagbourne
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. Each building we complete carries a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. Site teams most often ask us about failed external movement joints and complaints coming in block by block, across communal kitchens and washrooms, balcony and threshold joints and window and door perimeters on blocks. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in West Hagbourne tend to want the same three things: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
In and around smaller places like West Hagbourne, landlords and agents often look after small groups of housing association properties, converted farm buildings and community buildings. Frame and wall-joint mastic on all of them ages and hardens.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work in Oxfordshire. If an installation problem shows up, ring 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we’ll arrange a return visit.

What happens if it’s left?
Leaving failed external joints lets water reach the structure behind. That can lead to damp, staining and damage to finishes, which is harder to deal with than resealing. Halls, stores and units around places like West Hagbourne may not be checked every day, which gives a failed joint time to do damage. Resealing early avoids that.
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.

Your questions answered
Will you take on work at estates like Market Place Shopping Centre, close to West Hagbourne?
Yes. We cover West Hagbourne and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Market Place Shopping Centre. A few photos and the unit address let us price the work.
Is West Hagbourne too far out for you?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
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, and we confirm it before leaving site.
Do you work for managing agents and housing associations?
Yes, block and estate work is a core part of what we do. We work through buildings in a planned order so you can plan around it.
Who decides which product is used?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
What if the old mastic contains asbestos?
Some mastics in pre-2000 buildings contain asbestos. We ask for the asbestos register or survey before work starts and suspect material is tested first.
Do you take on small jobs?
Small jobs are welcome alongside larger packages. Send details for a fixed quote.

How a job runs
Inspect, seal, sign off: that’s the shape of every visit.

- 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.
