For managing agents and facilities managers
Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor on new-build and refurbishment projects. Programme, specification and site rules come first, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
Whether you are a managing agent, a property factor or an owner’s representative: send the details, accept a fixed quote, and we carry out and guarantee the work. We can agree access arrangements and keyholder contacts beforehand.
Construction mastic for commercial buildings in Hound
Getting a subcontractor through site induction should be simple. We’re a Constructionline member and CHAS accredited, and every applicator holds a CSCS card. Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote. We work on internal decorators’ caulk, sanitary and kitchen joints and floor and skirting junctions, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are early adhesion failures on new external joints and perimeter gaps outside the sealant’s range. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Hound? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005, CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
Conversions of older rural buildings near smaller places such as Hound bring stone, flint, brick and timber up against new glazing. Those joints need a sealant that suits an uneven, sometimes porous surface, and often a colour chosen for the building.
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.

Hound: questions and answers
Can you work around term dates at a campus such as Southampton Solent University?
Yes. Education sites usually want the work in vacations or in phases during term, and we plan to suit. Tell us which site documents you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate or CSCS details, and they’re confirmed with the quote.
Do you cover business parks and estates near Hound, such as Ensign Way Business Park?
Yes, sites like Ensign Way Business Park are within our area, along with the rest of Hound. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
What site paperwork can you supply?
Each site asks for different documents, so tell us what you need and we will confirm it when we quote.
Do you need to see the site first?
Photos, drawings or a schedule are often enough to quote. Where they aren’t, we arrange a site visit.
How do you work with the site programme?
We follow the trades through the building. Areas are sealed as they’re released by the site team and we tell you if something stops an area being sealed.
Do you guarantee new-build sealant work?
It’s backed by our 12-month guarantee on the workmanship. Keeping other trades off finished joints prevents most problems.
How long do sealant joints last?
There isn’t a single answer, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
Do you need construction mastic in Hound?
Value-engineered products sometimes end up in the wrong joints. A sealant that isn’t right for the substrate or the movement will fail ahead of time. We stick to the specified product, or put any alternative to you first.
Most enquiries start with something like this:
- Sanitary sealant damaged by following trades
- External joints sealed in damp or cold conditions that are now failing
- Failed sealant in an existing building being refurbished
- Internal caulk splitting as the building dries out
For contractors refurbishing units at places like Ensign Way Business Park (1.2 miles south of Hound), the mastic covers cladding panels, roller-door and window perimeters.

Facades, frames and programmes in Hound
The sea is no more than about 1 mile from Hound. On a coastal site, facade and perimeter joints face driven rain and, closer to the beach, salt, so we check the specified product suits the exposure before the first bead. At about 69 miles from central London, Hound is within reach of the capital. Construction around the commuter belt mixes station-side flats with refurbished offices and units, which keeps mastic packages in demand.
For contractors at a school such as The Hamble School, sealing has to be finished before term starts. On a healthcare site such as Fareham Community Hospital, 2.7 miles to the east of Hound, new blocks and refurbishments go on while the hospital keeps running, so mastic work is sequenced carefully.
Hound is about 3 miles east of Hythe, in Hampshire. Our applicators travel to Hound for work on mastic packages. Our Hampshire coverage takes in 723 places, large and small.

What sealant work can’t fix
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we’re upfront when that’s the case. It won’t fix:
- Designing joint widths or choosing the specification (that sits with the designer)
- Fire-stopping design or sign-off (that’s for the designer, fire engineer and building control)
- Glazing units that are cracked or misted
If in doubt, call 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will say what we think.

How a job runs
On arrival, we sign in, go through any site induction and check how permits are handled. Everything around the joints gets protected before anything is cut or cleaned, with the work itself usually taking anything from a day of snagging to several weeks of plot-by-plot sealing on a phased scheme. For work around Hound, we aim to finish in one visit, so photographs and measurements up front really help. That way the right products come on the day.
- Drawings, specification and programme come to us.
- We take off quantities and return a fixed quote.
- We agree with the site team which areas come first.
- Each area is sealed when it’s released.
- 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.
Before we start on site
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Let us know about inductions and permits

We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so the cost is agreed before work starts. To ask for one, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.

Aftercare for building managers
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Stick to the specified sealant rather than a generic substitute
- Keep finished joints away from paint, plaster and scrapers
- Allow flexibility for external sealing in damp or cold weather
- Ask installers to correct oversized gaps first
Tell the builders’ clean team which areas have new sealant. Scrapers used on frames and worktops can nick or lift a new bead, so stick to soft cloths and gentle cleaners near sealant.
Leaving the mastic snag list to the end squeezes everyone. A planned close-out through each area as it completes keeps the list short, and avoids a rush.
