Mastic sealing in Whitewood
Older blocks and commercial buildings can have mastic that contains asbestos. We check the asbestos register or survey before any old sealant is cut out and if it’s suspected, work stops until it’s tested. Removing asbestos-containing material isn’t something we do. Most enquiries involve a mix of products and colours from past repairs and leaks at window and door perimeters, across shopfronts below residential blocks, communal entrances and stairwells and window and door perimeters on blocks. Searching for sealant specialists in Whitewood? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005.
Owners and agents with buildings around smaller places such as Whitewood 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.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: twelve months on the work we carried out. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we’re upfront about that.

Surface by surface
Commercial and mixed-use buildings
Landlords with commercial portfolios have shopfronts, office entrances and external joints to look after. We work across portfolios on a planned basis.
External movement joints
The joint width has to suit the movement and the sealant’s capability with the width-to-depth ratio set as the manufacturer advises.
What sealant work can’t fix
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It won’t put right:
- Roof leaks, gutters or failed flashings that aren’t sealant joints
- Leaks through the frame itself rather than the perimeter
- Asbestos-containing sealant, which we don’t remove
Not sure which it is? You can speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will tell you honestly.

Whitewood: questions and answers
Does your area include sites such as Hays Bridge Business Park, near Whitewood?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Whitewood, Hays Bridge Business Park among them, are all within reach. To start, just speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Can you quote for a block close to Godstone station?
Yes. Blocks of any size are within what we do. We work to your notice and access arrangements.
Is asbestos a concern with old mastic?
We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials. If old sealant is suspected, work stops until it’s tested, and the duty to manage asbestos sits with the dutyholder.
How do you choose the sealant?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
How long before the joints can be used?
We’ll confirm how long the chosen product needs to cure.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and the quote will be based on it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
How do you handle work on occupied blocks?
Occupiers stay in the building throughout. We flag any areas that need internal access well before the dates so you can arrange it with occupiers.
Frames, entrances and external joints in Whitewood
Whitewood sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Even so, frame mastic only goes on in dry, workable conditions, and the sunniest, most exposed sides of a building usually need attention first. At about 21 miles from central London, Whitewood is within reach of the capital. Around the capital’s commuter belt, managing agents look after many blocks close to stations and town centres.
Trustees of buildings like Church of St Mary the Virgin can bring frame and external mastic into a planned maintenance list. For agents with blocks near Godstone station, 2.2 miles to the north-east of Whitewood, a block-wide mastic programme deals with frames, balconies and entrances in one go. If you own or manage units on a site such as Hays Bridge Business Park, less than half a mile to the south-east of Whitewood, failed mastic on frames, door surrounds and external joints can be dealt with unit by unit.

Around Whitewood

Nearby you’ll also find East Surrey Hospital (4.5 miles north-west) and Effingham Park Motor Museum (3.4 miles south). Open spaces near Whitewood include Hedgecourt Lake and Bay Pond.
Leave it or put it right?
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 Whitewood may not be checked every day, so a failed joint can leak for a while before anyone sees it. Renewing joints in good time avoids the problem.
The price depends on how many linear metres there are, how much old material needs removing and the access. Call for a fixed quote once you have the details.
Why us?

Looking after the joints
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. Specifically:
- Avoid piecemeal callouts where you can
- Have the asbestos survey to hand for older buildings
- List the paperwork your organisation requires when you send details
- Look at the sunniest and most exposed elevations first
Keep bins, bikes and deliveries away from low-level joints where you can. Knocks cause many early failures in communal areas.
Planned resealing is easier to budget than emergency repairs. We can quote buildings in priority order so spending is spread.
