Sites and facades in and around Swanmore
Swanmore is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. That doesn’t stop wet spells, or frosty starts that leave panels too damp to seal, which is why external dates are agreed with the site manager. There are a number of hotels within about 2 miles of Swanmore. Hotel schemes tend to have fixed reopening dates, so the mastic is programmed tightly with the other trades.
For contractors at a school such as Swanmore Church of England Aided Primary School, sealing has to be finished before term starts. For a contractor working at a hospital such as Knowle Hospital, 4.3 miles south of Swanmore, perimeter and facade sealing is planned around patients and deliveries.

About our construction mastic in Swanmore
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, and every return visit costs time. We seal so the snag list stays short. We work on floor and skirting junctions, sanitary and kitchen joints and brick and block movement joints, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are perimeter gaps outside the sealant’s range and a long mastic snag list close to completion. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Swanmore, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Building work in places the size of Swanmore is typically small-scale: a handful of new houses, barn conversions, a school or hall extension. Even a small site needs its perimeter and facade joints sized, backed and sealed properly.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

Surface by surface
Bathrooms, en suites and washrooms
On multi-unit schemes, consistency matters across hundreds of bathrooms. One applicator team gives the same finish everywhere.
Fire-rated sealant where specified
Where the specification calls for fire-rated or intumescent sealant around service penetrations or linear gaps, we install it to the manufacturer’s tested detail. Fire stopping design belongs to the designer and building control and we install what’s specified.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
When we get to site, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before any cutting starts, with the work itself typically taking anything from a day of snagging to several weeks of plot-by-plot sealing on a phased scheme. If neighbouring businesses or buildings around Swanmore need work too, visits can be combined. Mention the building’s opening times and we will work within them.
- First we take quantities off the drawings and read through the specification.
- You receive a fixed quote listing scope, products and phasing.
- You tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we confirm it with the quote.
- Work follows the programme, area by area, as rooms and elevations become ready.
- Joints are cleaned, primed where the maker requires it, backed and sealed to the specification.
- Snags are cleared before handover and completed areas carry our 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Let building users know which areas are affected

Related advice
After the work
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Note which sealant went where at handover
- Brief following trades on areas that have been sealed
- Bring the mastic contractor in after the last trades are through
- Don’t force external sealing on a damp or frosty day
If a joint is damaged after sealing, flag it early. Snags can be picked up in a planned close-out visit.
External joints sealed in poor weather are a common cause of early failure. Waiting for a dry joint and the right temperature is better than redoing work, so we plan external work with that in mind.
Do you need construction mastic in Swanmore?
A new building moves while it dries and settles. Plaster, screeds, timber and blockwork all shrink as they lose moisture and internal caulk in a moving joint is typically the first to crack. Picking a flexible sealant where there’s movement keeps snags down.
Look out for the following:
- Frame gaps too wide for sealant alone
- Old sealant on a refurbishment that needs stripping before new work
- Snag items on joints that need redoing before handover
- Frame perimeters left unsealed or poorly sealed
Recladding or extending a unit at a site like Waltham Business Park (under half a mile south-west of Swanmore) brings panel joints and frame perimeters into the programme.

What we can’t put right
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- Joints damaged after sign-off by following trades
- Specifying the product where the designer hasn’t
- Faulty frames rather than failed sealant
If you’re not sure, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on

Commercial clients in Swanmore
Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units book us directly too. The work is planned around how the building runs, so the building keeps working while we do.
Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor. Programme, specification and site rules come first, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.

Your questions answered
Can you work on a hospital site such as Knowle Hospital?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Is Swanmore too far out for you?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. London and every South East county are within our area. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
How do we ask for a quote?
There are four steps: send details, receive a fixed quote, we carry out the work, and it’s guaranteed. The first step only needs photos and a postcode.
When is resealing likely to be due?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
How long does a typical visit take?
It depends on the scope, though a typical visit typically takes whatever the programme allows, since the work follows the trades as areas are released. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we’ll give you a timescale with the quote.
