What the job involves on each surface
Kitchens and utility areas
On commercial kitchen fit-outs, hygienic sealants are often specified. We follow the specification and seal to a smooth, cleanable finish.
Internal decorators’ caulk
Caulking is often done in a hurry by whoever’s on site. A neat, consistent caulk line makes the decorators’ job quicker and reduces snags.
Construction mastic in Farnborough
Mastic is often where a new building first shows its quality to the client. A smeared bead round a window or a gap behind a worktop ends up on the snag list. Our aim is joints that pass at the first inspection. We work on brick and block movement joints, internal decorators’ caulk and sanitary and kitchen joints, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are sealant knocked or painted over by other trades and inconsistent sealant finishes from plot to plot. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Farnborough from the first photos to the final walk-round, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
Construction in and around smaller places such as Farnborough is often barn conversions, small groups of houses or extensions to halls and schools. Each still needs a proper mastic package: window perimeters, facade joints and internal sealant to the specification.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: preparation, application and finish. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

Maintenance after handover
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Flag uneven or tapered frame gaps early
- Release areas for mastic once other trades have finished in them
- Ask cleaners to use soft cloths around fresh sealant
- Brief following trades on areas that have been sealed
The package carries our 12-month guarantee for workmanship. Damage by others isn’t a workmanship fault, so protecting sealed areas matters.
A missed perimeter seal on one window can wet the reveal and the plaster inside. On a new building that means remedial work after decorating, and a delay to handover. Checking perimeters before internal finishes go on avoids it.
FAQs: Farnborough
What paperwork can you provide for a job in Farnborough?
Whatever your site asks for, from RAMS to CSCS details, is confirmed when we quote. Our applicators are CSCS-carded, and we carry £5m public liability insurance.
Will you fit the mastic around our build programme in Farnborough?
Yes, we work to the programme and the sequence the site sets. Any paperwork you need, from RAMS to our insurance certificate and CSCS details, is confirmed with the quote.
What will the job cost?
We don’t publish prices, as every site differs. Send photos or drawings and we’ll price it at a fixed figure.
How soon can the area be used again?
Curing time varies by product, and we confirm it on the day, and sign any area that should be left alone.
Can you fit around our programme?
We follow the trades through the building. Each plot, floor or elevation is sealed when it’s ready.
Who decides which product is used?
The specification comes first, if there is one. Without one, the joint decides: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
Facades, frames and programmes in Farnborough
Farnborough lies roughly 55 miles out from central London. Towns within reach of London tend to keep building, from flats to offices and schools, so mastic packages have to keep pace with busy programmes. Rainfall across the South East, Farnborough included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Even so, frost and condensation on steel and glass are common on winter mornings, so we time external mastic for dry faces and agree it with the site team.
Around Farnborough, as anywhere, a facade joint depends on its sizing, backing rod and preparation. On any site in or around Farnborough, the mastic follows the specification and the programme.

Why it’s worth doing now in Farnborough
Sealing over damaged or contaminated new joints might save a day. Sealant can’t grip a contaminated or existing bead. We cut out and redo the joint properly. Converted and older buildings near places like Farnborough tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.
The product called for affects the cost, and so does the preparation. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
What you get with us
- Old sealant cut out, never sealed over
- RAL and finish matching where the product range allows
- Coloured sealants to suit the setting, where available
- Colour agreed before work starts

General trades versus a specialist
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.
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class, which is what makes a joint last.
