Facades, frames and programmes in Maudlin
A 2-mile radius around Maudlin takes in a good number of hotels. Hotel refurbishments often run to tight programmes between busy periods, and perimeter and sanitary sealant has to keep up. Maudlin sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Still, external mastic needs dry faces within the maker’s temperature limits, which isn’t every day, so external mastic is timed for workable conditions and agreed with the site manager.
For a contractor working at a hospital such as St Richard's Hospital, 1.2 miles west of Maudlin, perimeter and facade sealing is planned around patients and deliveries. For contractors at a college like Chichester College, 2.3 miles south-west of Maudlin, perimeters and internal sealant are timed for the holidays.

About our construction mastic in Maudlin
Mastic is often where a new building first shows its quality to the client. Untidy or missed joints are among the commonest snag items, and every return visit costs time. Our aim is joints that pass at the first inspection, whatever the size of the scheme. The enquiries we see most involve frame perimeters left unsealed or poorly sealed and caulk cracking where joints are moving more than expected, across sanitary and kitchen joints, window and door perimeters and cladding and panel joints. For commercial sealant work in Maudlin, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
Conversions of older rural buildings near smaller places such as Maudlin 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.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we’re clear about what is covered before work starts.

Leave it or put it right?
Sealing over damaged or contaminated new joints might save a day, but it rarely lasts. Sealant can’t grip a contaminated or existing bead and the defect reappears in the defects period. We cut out and redo the joint properly. For buildings around smaller places like Maudlin, water damage can go unnoticed for longer, especially where a building isn’t used daily, so a failed joint can leak for a while before anyone sees it. Renewing joints in good time avoids the problem.
There’s no price list, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. Call for a quote.

Do you need construction mastic in Maudlin?
Swapping the specified sealant for a cheaper general-purpose product is a common cause of failure. A general-purpose silicone on a facade or a caulk in a wet area won’t perform like the specified product. We use what’s specified, and any substitute goes to you for acceptance.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- Sanitary sealant damaged by following trades
- Mastic snags holding up handover
- Existing joints on a refurb that need cutting out and resealing
- Window and door perimeters that won’t pass inspection
Hotel extensions and refits, at places such as The Goodwood Hotel, 1.3 miles north of Maudlin, normally run between busy periods, so the sealing is squeezed into short windows.

Surface by surface
External facade and movement joints
Movement joints in the facade are sealed with a product suited to the expected movement. Depth is controlled with backing rod so the bead bonds to two sides only.
Internal decorators’ caulk
Caulking is often done in a hurry by whoever’s on site. Done properly, it saves decorators time and gives a clean line and reduces snags.
When it isn’t the sealant
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. It won’t fix:
- Faulty frames rather than failed sealant
- Rework caused by others damaging completed areas
- Fire-stopping design or sign-off (that’s for the designer, fire engineer and building control)
If you’re not sure, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or email us and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we seal
- Cladding and panel joints
- Brick and block movement joints
- Internal decorators’ caulk
- Floor and skirting junctions
- Sanitary and kitchen joints
- Window and door perimeters
Keeping the joints sound
Once the work is signed off, a little attention goes a long way:
- Protect sealed areas from following trades
- Stick to the specified sealant rather than a generic substitute
- Note which sealant went where at handover
- Brief the final clean team to avoid blades near sealant
Brief the sparkle clean so they don’t scrape the new joints. Scrapers used on frames and worktops can nick or lift a new bead so keep them off the joints.
One unsealed frame can let water into finished internal areas. That usually means redoing finishes in a completed area, and a delay to handover. Checking perimeters before internal finishes go on avoids it.

Questions about Maudlin
Is Maudlin too small for you to travel to?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. London and every South East county are within our area. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Will you take on work at estates like Glenmore Business Park, close to Maudlin?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Maudlin, Glenmore Business Park among them, are all within reach. A few photos and the unit address let us price the work.
How many days will you need on site?
It depends on the scope, though a typical visit normally takes a day or two on a small fit-out and several weeks on a large multi-storey package. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we’ll give you a timescale with the quote.
Do you install fire-rated sealant as part of a package?
Fire-rated sealant can be included where it’s specified, installed to the product’s tested detail. Fire-stopping design and sign-off sit with the designer and building control.
Can the sealant be colour-matched?
Often, yes. Many products come in a range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or surrounding finishes is often possible. We will confirm the colours available for the specified product.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance, and any queries are raised before we start.
