Photos, a specification or a quick description of the joints is enough to start a fixed quote.
Aftercare for building managers
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Brief following trades on areas that have been sealed
- Don’t schedule sealing before decorators and flooring are done
- Flag uneven or tapered frame gaps early
- Ask cleaners to use soft cloths around fresh sealant
Any damage after we’ve finished should go on the snag list right away. Snags can be picked up in a planned close-out visit, priced as part of the package or separately.
Frames with gaps too wide for sealant need sorting before the mastic goes on. Sealant stretched over an oversized gap won’t last. We flag them as soon as we see them.
About our construction mastic in Catherington
On a new build, the mastic package is one of the last trades through each area. Mastic Doctor takes on mastic packages for main contractors and developers on schemes in Catherington, following the trades through the building as rooms and elevations become ready. If you have caulk cracking where joints are moving more than expected and external joints sealed in damp or cold conditions that are now failing, we can help. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Catherington tend to want the same three things: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
Sites around smaller places like Catherington can be a fair drive from suppliers, so we come with everything the package needs, timed to the stage the job has reached. Send drawings or photos and the programme and we’ll quote to suit.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months, wherever the site is. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

Construction mastic in Catherington: the local picture
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. That doesn’t stop wet spells, or frosty starts that leave panels too damp to seal, so external mastic is timed for workable conditions and agreed with the site manager. At about 56 miles from central London, Catherington is within reach of the capital. Commuter-belt towns tend to see a steady flow of new flats, offices and commercial schemes, so mastic packages have to keep pace with busy programmes.
Hospital estates such as Havant War Memorial Hospital, 5.3 miles south of Catherington, tend to grow and change in phases, often next to occupied wards, so facade and perimeter sealing has to fit the estates team’s plan. Units on estates such as Enterprise Industrial Estate (0.9 miles south-east of Catherington) tend to be reclad and refitted as tenants change, and each job leaves cladding and perimeter joints to seal.
Catherington is about 2 miles north of Horndean, in Hampshire. Catherington sits inside our coverage and the rest of Hampshire, with the same fixed quotes and 12-month guarantee as everywhere else. Our Hampshire coverage takes in 723 places, from busy centres to rural villages. There’s a separate page for Portsmouth, about 9 miles away.

Building owners, agents and FMs in Catherington
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
Building owners and managing agents use us on sealant work across single buildings or whole portfolios around Catherington. Several sites can go on one quote, which keeps the paperwork simple.
What happens if it’s left?
Refurbishments sometimes budget for new windows when the frames are sound and only the seal has failed. If the frame is in good order, cutting out and resealing the perimeter can be all it needs and that’s a far smaller job. If the frame is life-expired, we’ll tell you. Halls, stores and units around places like Catherington may not be checked every day, so a failed joint can leak for a while before anyone sees it. Resealing early avoids that.
The work involved drives the cost: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a quote and we will explain how it’s made up.
Why appoint us
- Colour agreed before work starts

Questions we are asked in Catherington
Is Enterprise Industrial Estate, near Catherington, within your area?
Yes, sites like Enterprise Industrial Estate are within our area, along with the rest of Catherington. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Is Catherington off your patch?
No. Places such as Catherington are covered as much as the big towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Can you handle several sites?
Yes. Several buildings can share a single quote, and you deal with one contact throughout across South East England, Greater London and Scotland.
Can you fit around our programme?
We seal plot by plot or floor by floor as areas are released. The sequence is agreed with the site manager at the start and adjusted as things change.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No, never. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so it all comes out first.
Can you work to our specification?
We follow the specified sealant. Specifications often reference BS EN 15651 or BS 6213.
Can the building stay open while you work?
Yes, as long as we plan it. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will plan around them.
Our process
Before we leave any area, we remove the tape, clean down and inspect every joint with your site contact. If an area should be left alone while the sealant cures, we say how long and put signs out. Rural sites near Catherington may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Add it to your enquiry and we’ll build it into the plan.
- We walk the site or review drawings to understand the package.
- You receive a fixed quote covering scope, products and sequence.
- Site paperwork is confirmed and our CSCS-carded applicators are inducted.
- Sealing follows the programme as areas are released.
- Problems we find, such as oversized gaps, are raised right away.
- The package is closed out, snags cleared and backed by our 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Send your site hours and access windows
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Move anything stored against the joints

What we are called out for in Catherington
Three-sided adhesion is a frequent fault on new work. Fixed to three faces, the sealant rips the first time the joint opens so we set the depth properly before sealing.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- Old sealant on a refurbishment that needs stripping before new work
- Mastic snags holding up handover
- Missed perimeter joints on a new elevation
- Oversized or tapered gaps around new frames
When a school such as Catherington Church of England Infant School is extended or refurbished, the mastic package is often squeezed into the holidays.
What your quote should include
- How they handle RAMS and site documents
- How long is the guarantee, and what does it include?
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
What sealant work can’t fix
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- Joint design decisions that belong to the architect or engineer
- Glazing units that are cracked or misted
- Frames fitted out of tolerance
If in doubt, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we seal
- Brick and block movement joints
- Window and door perimeters
- Cladding and panel joints
- Floor and skirting junctions
- Sanitary and kitchen joints
- Internal decorators’ caulk
