About our mastic sealing in Woodchurch
We work for building owners, landlords with commercial or block portfolios, managing agents and housing associations. A planned, building-by-building programme often works better than reacting to each complaint and we quote and schedule each building in turn. We work on external wall and movement joints, communal kitchens and washrooms and communal entrances and stairwells, and what we are called in for most is mastic failing across several blocks on an estate and cracked, hardened mastic round windows on a block. Searching for sealant specialists in Woodchurch? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005.
In and around smaller places like Woodchurch, landlords and agents often look after small groups of housing association properties, converted farm buildings and community buildings. Mastic around frames and on external joints wears out in time, whatever the building.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we are clear about what is covered before work starts.

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
Redoing a failed joint typically costs more than getting it right at the outset, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
When to call us in Woodchurch
Previous repairs often sealed new mastic over old. New silicone has nothing to grip on old silicone, so these repairs rarely last.
Typical triggers for a call:
- Open joints in brickwork or panels
- The same joint failures repeated across a portfolio
- Water getting in round frames after rain
- Worn sealant at communal door frames
If you’re responsible for a building such as Parish Church of All Saints, frame and door mastic needs the same attention as any other property.

After the work
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Share these points with them:
- Share the asbestos register when you send details
- Make mastic part of routine maintenance checks
- Log resealing dates block by block
- List the paperwork your organisation requires when you send details
Keep records of when each building was resealed. That makes future programmes easier to plan and shows what was done.
Mastic fails gradually, then all at once in a wet spell. Acting at the first signs keeps it a straightforward reseal and saves internal repairs.
How the job changes by surface
Window and door perimeters on blocks
Window and door perimeters are where most mastic failure shows. We remove the failed mastic, prepare the faces, add backing rod if the joint is deep and reseal.
Estate-wide resealing programmes
Using the same products throughout keeps the estate consistent.

FAQs: Woodchurch
Will you take on a block within reach of Appledore (Kent) station?
Yes. Managing agents, landlords, property factors and housing associations are who this service is for. Give us the building’s details and say how residents are notified, and we’ll quote and plan to suit.
Will you price a mastic programme across our Woodchurch portfolio?
Yes. Portfolio-wide programmes are a regular request. Send the addresses and photos and we’ll give a fixed quote.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so everything comes out first.
Is asbestos a concern with old mastic?
We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials. Anything suspect is tested before we carry on in line with the dutyholder’s asbestos management.
How long do sealant joints last?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
Can you seal joints high up on a block?
It depends on the building. How upper joints are reached is agreed before work is booked so the fixed quote reflects it.
Who decides which product is used?
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.
Why deal with it now?
Replacing mastic before water gets in is a planned job. Once water has tracked in, the repair list grows, and the complaints come with it. Older rural buildings around Woodchurch move with the seasons, and rigid or tired sealant can’t keep up. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.
What a job costs comes down to the quantity of joints, what has to come out first and the access. Call for a fixed quote once you have the details.
