Sealant specialists in Thorns Beach

Mastic Doctor has been sealing joints for businesses and contractors since 2005, and the documents buyers ask for are ready: CHAS accredited, Constructionline member, five million pounds of public liability insurance and CSCS-carded applicators. Let us know which site documents you need and they’ll be confirmed with the quote. We work on window and door perimeters, floor and threshold joints and washrooms and tea points, and what we are called in for most is earlier reseals applied straight onto the failed bead and smeared sealant across finishes from a rushed job. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Thorns Beach from the first photographs to the final walk-round, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.

If you look after more than one building near Thorns Beach, the work can be planned as one programme, with one quote format and one point of contact.

Commercial sealant work around smaller places like Thorns Beach tends to mean pubs and restaurants, halls, farm shops and offices in converted farm buildings. Kitchens, toilets and window frames in all of them need resealing sooner or later.

The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

Thorns Beach: questions and answers

Is Thorns Beach too far out for you?

No. Places such as Thorns Beach are covered as much as the big towns. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.

Can the sealant on our Thorns Beach premises match the finishes?

Yes, sealants come in a wide range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references, cladding, stone or frames is a common request. The quote lists the colours the product is made in.

Do you seal on top of existing sealant?

No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.

Are you CHAS accredited?

Yes. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.

How long does a typical visit take?

It depends on the scope, though a typical visit typically takes anything from part of a day on a short run of joints to several weeks on a large phased package. For bigger or phased jobs, we’ll set out a timescale with the quote.

Can you follow the specification on our project?

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.

Could the old sealant in an older building contain asbestos?

Some older mastics did contain asbestos. That’s why we ask for the asbestos information first, and stop if a material is suspect until it’s tested.

Work for main contractors and building owners

When you manage a building on behalf of an owner, you need clear quotes and clear reporting. You get a fixed quote, an agreed scope and a walk round at the end.

Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients book us directly too. The work is planned around how the building runs, so the building keeps working while we do.

Frontages, fit-outs and joints in Thorns Beach

Thorns Beach lies within about 1 mile of the sea. Exposed frontages near the sea are hard on sealant, so the product has to suit the weather as well as the look. Sea-facing elevations are typically where failed joints show first. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Drier doesn’t mean dry every day, so frontage work still has some give in the dates.

For any commercial premises in Thorns Beach, a lasting joint depends on full removal of the old sealant and clean, dry faces.

Thorns Beach is about 5 miles east of Lymington, in Hampshire. Businesses, contractors and managing agents in Thorns Beach can call on us for sealant joints, as part of our coverage of Hampshire.

What affects the price in Thorns Beach

There’s no standard rate for sealant work, since sites vary so much. What we look at:

  • Travel to remote or island sites
  • How accessible the joints are
  • The total length or number of joints
  • The site’s rules and procedures

Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote and we’ll put a fixed figure on it.

Details that help us quote

It doesn’t need to be a full survey. A few details are enough to get going:

  • The asbestos register, for older buildings
  • Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
  • Your programme or deadline
  • The postcode of the building

Tell us about the building, the joints and when you need the work done, and we’ll put a fixed quote together. To get it moving, call the office on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.

Common problems we fix in Thorns Beach

External sealant takes a steady beating from the weather. Sunny elevations dry the surface out and exposed ones take driving rain, so beads chalk, stiffen and lose their stretch. Once it stiffens, the joint opens up at the next big temperature swing.

Things that typically lead to an enquiry:

  • Expansion joints with the sealant torn out
  • External beads that have gone brittle and cracked
  • Leaks that seem to come through a sealant line
  • Frame mastic that has hardened and come away from the wall

Premises within reach of Lymington Pier station, 3.9 miles to the west of Thorns Beach, often have busy frontages where joints are seen by everyone passing.

Before you book anyone

  • Their approach to joint depth and backing
  • Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?
  • How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
  • Will RAMS and insurance details be available?

Questions to ask before you appoint anyone

When it isn’t the sealant

Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we are upfront when that’s the case. It won’t fix:

  • Old mastic that tests positive for asbestos
  • Cracking that needs a structural engineer to look at it
  • Water from a services leak rather than a joint

If you are not sure, just call 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Surfaces we seal

  • External facade joints
  • Washrooms and tea points
  • Window and door perimeters
  • Kitchen worktops and splashbacks
  • Movement joints in walls and floors
  • Floor and threshold joints

Our process

A typical day starts with protection: masking tape along the joint edges and sheeting over anything nearby. On site, the work normally takes as long as the agreed scope needs, from a single visit to a programme spread over several weeks, and our waste is bagged and taken away as we go. For a building around Thorns Beach, tell us how to find it and who will meet us. Send that with the details and we will confirm the plan with the quote.

  1. We start with the evidence: photographs, drawings or a look on site.
  2. A fixed quote follows, with removal and preparation included.
  3. We agree the order of work, access windows and site hours with you.
  4. Each joint is stripped, cleaned back to sound faces and primed where the maker specifies.
  5. Depth is set with backing, then the sealant is applied, tooled and the area tidied.
  6. Completed areas are signed off with you under our 12-month guarantee.

What we need from you

  • Move anything stored against the joints
  • Tell us which areas need to stay in use
  • Send your site hours and access windows

Request a quote

Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints are often enough for a fixed quote. Where a site visit makes more sense, we’ll arrange one.

Advice

Keeping the joints sound

To get the most from the new sealant:

  • Make sure contractors see the asbestos survey before cutting out old mastic
  • Brief cleaning contractors to avoid scourers and blades on sealant
  • Don’t let cleaning or traffic back on before the cure time is up
  • Act on the first lifting edges rather than waiting

We stand behind the workmanship with a 12-month guarantee. File the handover note with the building records.

Once sealant fails in a movement joint, grit and debris get in. With nothing soft to close against, the materials either side take the load and start to break up. At that point it’s a repair job rather than a reseal.
