FAQs: Woodlands
Is a smaller place like Woodlands outside your area?
No. Places such as Woodlands are covered as much as the big 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.
Would you work within a site like Tatchbury Mount Hospital?
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 the mastic package guaranteed?
The work is guaranteed for 12 months. Keeping other trades off finished joints prevents most problems.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, including public liability cover.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
Some older mastics, especially in pre-2000 buildings, can contain asbestos. We check the asbestos register before cutting out old sealant in an older building, and if asbestos is suspected, work stops until it’s tested. Removing asbestos is a job for asbestos specialists, not us.
What about RAMS and site documents?
Each site asks for different documents, so list what you need, whether RAMS, insurance or CSCS details, and we will confirm with the quote.
How long does a typical visit take?
That varies with the scale of the job, but the work usually takes a few days on a modest refurbishment and longer on multi-plot or multi-storey schemes. For bigger or phased jobs, we’ll set out a timescale with the quote.
Construction mastic for commercial buildings in Woodlands
On a new build, the mastic package is one of the last trades through each area, which puts it right on the critical path. Mastic Doctor takes on mastic packages for main contractors and developers. If you have sealant knocked or painted over by other trades and a mastic package split between trades with no clear owner, we can put it right, on sanitary and kitchen joints, internal decorators’ caulk and window and door perimeters alike. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Woodlands first comes to us: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Around smaller places like Woodlands, building work usually means conversions of farm buildings, a few new houses or an extension to a hall or school. Each still needs a proper mastic package: window perimeters, facade joints and internal sealant to the specification.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

Different surfaces, different methods
Window and door perimeters
Inside, a paintable sealant or decorators’ caulk is used where the joint doesn’t move much. We follow what’s specified, and colour-matched products can be used where the frame is on show.
Internal decorators’ caulk
Where the specification calls for it, acrylic decorators’ caulk goes on non-moving internal gaps before painting. It’s paintable and suits gaps that don’t move, and we use a flexible sealant where there’s movement.
On site: what to expect
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. If others near Woodlands need work, visits can be combined, which keeps travel down. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.

- We return a fixed quote that ties the mastic package to your programme.

Advice
Signs you need construction mastic in Woodlands
Most mastic snags on new buildings come from sequencing rather than product. If sealant goes in before the last trades are through, it gets knocked, painted over or contaminated, and the joint has to be redone.
Things that normally lead to an enquiry:
- Caulk cracking where joints are moving more than expected
- Bath and shower joints scraped during the final clean
- A mastic package split between trades with no clear owner
- Oversized or tapered gaps around new frames
For contractors at a college like Totton College, which lies north-east of Woodlands, perimeters and internal sealant are timed for the holidays.
What to look for in a quote

Owners, agents and contractors
Building owners and managing agents use us on sealant work across single buildings or whole portfolios around Woodlands. Several sites can go on one quote, which keeps the paperwork simple.
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint.
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.
Building and refurbishing in Woodlands
Woodlands is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. Winter mornings still bring frost and condensation on frames and panels, so external mastic is timed for workable conditions and agreed with the site manager.
Hotel extensions and refits, at places such as Woodlands Lodge New Forest Hotel, less than half a mile west of Woodlands, typically run between busy periods, so the sealing is squeezed into short windows. When a school such as Netley Marsh Church of England Infant School is extended or refurbished, the mastic package is often squeezed into the holidays.
Woodlands is about 2 miles south-west of Totton, in Hampshire. We cover Woodlands, and jobs here get the same fixed quote and 12-month guarantee as anywhere else.

Honest limits
Being straight saves everyone time. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- Oversized gaps that need packing or adjustment by others
- Defective windows, doors or glazing units (the supplier or installer’s job)
- Rework caused by others damaging completed areas
