About our construction mastic in Fareham
Mastic Doctor has been a subcontractor on construction projects for over 20 years. Quantities come off the drawings, the sequence is agreed with the site manager and the work follows the trades. For construction mastic on a scheme in Fareham, send drawings through our quote form, or phone or email us to talk it through. The enquiries we see most involve missed perimeter joints on a new elevation and snag items on joints that need redoing before handover, on internal decorators’ caulk, brick and block movement joints and window and door perimeters. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, the work in Fareham is the same: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Many towns of Fareham’s size have older buildings being converted or extended, which puts new frames and panels against old brick, stone or render. Those junctions need a sealant and primer that suit both surfaces.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and the quote explains what it covers.
General trades versus a specialist
Paperwork matters too. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. Where it goes wrong is preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
FAQs: Fareham
Does your area include sites such as Blackbrook Business Park, near Fareham?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Fareham, Blackbrook Business Park among them, are all within reach. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Can you work around term dates at a campus such as Fareham College?
Yes, holiday working periods are the norm on campus jobs. Any paperwork you need, from RAMS to our insurance certificate and CSCS details, is confirmed with the quote.
Will you quote for a small job?
We quote for single jobs as well as large packages and programmes. Send details for a fixed quote.
Do you use the sealant named in the specification?
We follow the specified sealant and flag anything that doesn’t look right for the joint. Product standards such as BS EN 15651 are often named in specifications.
How do you work with the site programme?
The programme sets the job. Share the release dates and we’ll match our work to them.
Do you take on multi-site work?
Yes. A group of buildings can go on one quote, and you deal with one contact throughout across South East England, Greater London and Scotland.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and we’ll price the work to it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
Why deal with it now?
Getting the mastic contractor involved early pays off. We can check joint widths, flag frames with gaps that won’t seal and confirm products against the specification. Called in at the end, the same issues surface during handover. In a town like Fareham, a split, stained or mouldy joint is often the first thing visitors notice. Renewing it keeps the building looking cared for.
The price depends on how many linear metres there are, what has to come out first and how the joints are reached. Call for a quote once you have the details.

Building and refurbishing in Fareham
The sea is no more than about 2 miles from Fareham. Facades and window perimeters on coastal schemes take more wind-driven rain, and salt air nearer the shore, so joint design, primers and product choice deserve extra care. At about 65 miles from central London, Fareham is within reach of the capital. Building activity in the commuter belt runs from new flats near stations to business park refurbishments, so mastic packages have to keep pace with busy programmes.
Extensions at sites like Knowle Hospital (2 miles north of Fareham) normally sit beside working departments, and the mastic follows strict access rules. Hotel extensions and refits, at places such as The Red Lion Hotel (1 mile east of Fareham), typically run between busy periods, so the sealing is squeezed into short windows.

Common problems we fix in Fareham
A joint without backing rod or bond-breaker often fails early. Fixed to three faces, the sealant rips the first time the joint opens so we set the depth properly before sealing.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- Caulk cracking where joints are moving more than expected
- A long mastic snag list close to completion
- Inconsistent sealant finishes from plot to plot
- Failed sealant in an existing building being refurbished
For contractors at a college like Fareham College, which lies south-west of Fareham, perimeters and internal sealant are timed for the holidays.
