Construction mastic in Upper Burgate
The specification and the programme set the job. If a product is named, that’s what goes in. Backing, primer and depth follow what the sealant maker sets out. If you have old sealant on a refurbishment that needs stripping before new work and oversized or tapered gaps around new frames, we can put it right. Searching for sealant specialists in Upper Burgate? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005.
Conversions of older rural buildings near smaller places such as Upper Burgate bring stone, flint, brick and timber up against new glazing. A product that grips an irregular face, with a colour that suits the building’s character, is typically what’s needed.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and the quote explains what it covers.

What we can’t put right
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Oversized gaps that need packing or adjustment by others
- Specifying the product where the designer hasn’t
- Fire-stopping design or sign-off (that’s for the designer, fire engineer and building control)
If in doubt, call 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Internal decorators’ caulk
- Cladding and panel joints
- Window and door perimeters
- Brick and block movement joints
- Floor and skirting junctions
- Sanitary and kitchen joints
Facades, frames and programmes in Upper Burgate
Upper Burgate sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Even so, frost and condensation on steel and glass are common on winter mornings, which is why external dates are agreed with the site manager.
When units on a site such as Arch Farm Industrial Estate, 0.9 miles south-west of Upper Burgate, are refurbished or reclad, the panel joints and window perimeters are part of the mastic package. Hotels like Greyhound Hotel, 1.3 miles to the south of Upper Burgate, rarely close for long, so refurbishment mastic is phased floor by floor.

For managing agents and facilities managers
Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
Agents, factors and owners’ representatives all follow the same route: send the details, accept a fixed quote, and we carry out and guarantee the work. Keys, access and contacts can be agreed in advance.
Questions about Upper Burgate
Is a hospital such as Fordingbridge Hospital somewhere you can work?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Is Upper Burgate too far out for you?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. Our area covers London and the South East counties. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Can you send site paperwork?
Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote.
Can you quote from photographs?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, drawings or a joint schedule. If the job needs a look first, we’ll arrange a visit.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
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 you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
The duty to manage asbestos sits with the building’s dutyholder, so we will ask for the register before work on an older building. Work pauses if suspect material is found, until it has been tested.
Do you use the sealant named in the specification?
We follow the specified sealant, and we’ll raise it if something in it doesn’t suit the joint. Specifications often reference BS EN 15651 or BS 6213.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
We bring the products specified for the job, along with primers and backing rod. Any old material is cut back to clean, sound faces, the manufacturer’s primer is applied where it’s called for, and the sealant is tooled off neatly. For a building around Upper Burgate, tell us how to find it and who will meet us. Send that with the details and we’ll confirm the plan with the quote.

Advice
Signs you need construction mastic in Upper Burgate
A joint without backing rod or bond-breaker often fails early. Fixed to three faces, the sealant rips the first time the joint opens.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- Frame perimeters left unsealed or poorly sealed
- Internal caulk splitting as the building dries out
- Mastic snags holding up handover
- Oversized or tapered gaps around new frames
Historic houses such as Breamore House, 1.6 miles to the north of Upper Burgate, are a reminder of the older buildings in the wider area, where sealing against old stone, brick or timber needs compatible products.
Questions to ask before you book
- Their public liability cover
- Their approach to joint depth and backing
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards

What else we do in Upper Burgate
Should maintenance staff do it?
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
