Construction mastic in Abshot, done properly
We work to the specification and the programme, not to habit. If a product is named, that’s what goes in, and if an alternative is proposed, it goes to you for acceptance first. Joint widths, backing, primers and tooling follow the manufacturer’s guidance. If you’re dealing with failed sealant in an existing building being refurbished and perimeter gaps outside the sealant’s range, we can put it right, on sanitary and kitchen joints, brick and block movement joints and window and door perimeters alike. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Abshot tend to want the same three things: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
In the countryside around places like Abshot, conversion schemes put new frames into old stone, flint, brick or timber. Those joints need a sealant that suits an uneven, sometimes porous surface, and often a colour chosen for the building.
Work we carry out comes with a 12-month guarantee. If an installation problem shows up, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will arrange a return visit.

Surface by surface
External facade and movement joints
Many facade substrates need a primer before sealing. Primer goes on where the sealant maker calls for it and work only when conditions suit.
Snagging before handover
Snagging is often the final mastic stage. We can work through the snag list area by area.

Leave it or put it right?
Leaving mastic to whichever trade is fitting the element can look cheaper on paper. The result tends to be uneven finishes and arguments about who should seal what. A single mastic package gives one point of responsibility, with the same standard on every plot. Around Abshot, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once. Send photographs of each area and we’ll quote for the lot.
Pricing mastic packages depends on how many there are, their condition and the access, plus any specification you are working to. Call for a quote.

What sealant work can’t fix
Honesty saves time and money. New sealant won’t cure:
- Approving fire stopping as compliant
- Rework caused by others damaging completed areas
- Frames fitted out of tolerance

What we seal
- Cladding and panel joints
- Brick and block movement joints
- Window and door perimeters
- Floor and skirting junctions
- Internal decorators’ caulk
- Sanitary and kitchen joints
Aftercare for building managers
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Keep product details for future maintenance
- Plan external elevations with the weather in mind
- Ask cleaners to use soft cloths around fresh sealant
- Keep finished joints away from paint, plaster and scrapers
Our 12-month guarantee covers the workmanship from sign-off. Damage by others isn’t a workmanship fault.
Snag items left to the last week put handover at risk. A planned close-out through each area as it completes keeps the list short and keeps handover on track.
How a job runs
A typical day starts with protection: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. The work itself normally takes a day or two on a small fit-out and several weeks on a large multi-storey package, and our waste is bagged and taken away as we go. Jobs in and around smaller places like Abshot are typically planned as a single visit, so photographs and measurements up front really help. That way the right products come on the day.
- We start with the drawings, specification and programme.
- Quantities are measured and a fixed price returned.
- The sequence is agreed with the site manager.
- Plots or floors are sealed as they’re handed over.
- Every joint is cleaned, set to depth and sealed with the specified product.
- Snags are cleared and the package signed off with our 12-month guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- Warn occupants and staff about the work

Advice
Should maintenance staff do it?
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.
Some joints are best left to specialists: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
Common questions from Abshot clients
Would you work within a site like Fareham Community Hospital?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Could you schedule work at a campus like Fareham College for the vacation?
Yes. Tell us the term dates, vacation periods and access windows, and we’ll plan the work around them. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and paperwork such as RAMS is confirmed with the quote.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
What does a mastic package normally include?
It depends on the specification, but most packages include frame perimeters, sanitary and kitchen joints, caulking where specified and a snagging pass.
Will you quote for a small job?
Single areas, one-off repairs and whole buildings are all quoted the same way: details, then a fixed price, then sealing, then a 12-month guarantee.
When can you be on site?
Mention the site’s hours and access windows in your enquiry, and we will plan around them. You can reach the office between 8am and 5pm, Monday to Friday.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
Outside, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Inside work is seldom held up.
Facades, frames and programmes in Abshot
With the shore within about 1 mile, Abshot counts as a coastal location. Coastal exposure means perimeter and cladding joints work harder than on an inland job, which puts weight on correct joint sizing, priming and a sealant suited to the exposure. A number of hotels sit less than 2 miles from Abshot. Hotel schemes tend to have fixed reopening dates, so the mastic is programmed tightly with the other trades.
New wings at hospitals like Fareham Community Hospital, 1.7 miles north of Abshot, bring long runs of window and panel joints to seal. Work at a hotel such as The Queens Head Hotel, 1.4 miles east of Abshot, tends to be programmed around bookings, mastic included. When units on a site such as Kite's Croft Business Park (1 mile north-east of Abshot) are refurbished or reclad, the panel joints and window perimeters are part of the mastic package.
