Facade sealing in Ashlett, done properly
We don’t install glazing systems or replace glass. What we seal are the joints around them: the frame-to-structure perimeter, panel-to-panel joints and window and door surrounds with products suited to facade or glazing perimeter joints. The enquiries we see most involve cladding panel joints that have opened up and water coming in around window frames, across cladding panel joints, shopfront frames and stone and brick facade joints. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Ashlett? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005.
Conversions of older rural buildings near smaller places such as Ashlett 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.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we are clear about what is covered before work starts.

Sites and facades in and around Ashlett
The sea is no more than about 1 mile from Ashlett. Facades and window perimeters on coastal schemes take more wind-driven rain, and salt air nearer the shore, so joint design, primers and product choice deserve extra care. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Even so, frost and condensation on steel and glass are common on winter mornings, so external mastic is timed for workable conditions and agreed with the site manager.
Historic houses such as Beaulieu Palace House (4.7 miles west of Ashlett) are a reminder of the older buildings in the wider area, where sealing against old stone, brick or timber needs compatible products. For a contractor at a hotel such as Falcon Hotel, less than half a mile west of Ashlett, the mastic often has to be finished before a reopening date. School extensions, at buildings such as Fawley Infant School, normally run to the summer holidays, mastic included.

On site: what to expect
We follow your site rules from the start: sign-in, induction and whatever permit system the building uses. With the paperwork done, the joints are worked through in the order agreed with your site contact, and each area is checked before we leave it. If others near Ashlett need work, visits can be combined. You’ll have a fixed quote before work starts.
- We look at the joints, the drawings and the access before pricing.
- Failed sealant is cut out along its full length.
- Both faces are cleaned and, where the product needs it, primed.
- Backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints, limits the depth.
- A facade-grade sealant rated for the movement goes in, tooled to a concave profile.
- We walk the finished joints with you before handing over.
Preparing the site
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use

Advice
Why act early in Ashlett
Topping up a failed joint usually buys very little time. A full cut-out and reseal costs more on the day but lasts much longer and avoids repeat call-outs. Halls, stores and units around places like Ashlett may not be checked every day, which gives a failed joint time to do damage. Resealing early avoids that.
We don’t publish prices, since every building and every scope is different. For a fixed figure, call for a quote.

When something else is needed
Being straight saves everyone time. New sealant won’t cure:

- Replacing glass or failed glazing units
- Arranging specialist high-level access, which is planned with the client

Work for main contractors and building owners
Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units come to us directly as well. The work is planned around how the building runs, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.

Ashlett: questions and answers
Would you work within a site like Coldeast?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
Does your area include sites such as Ensign Way Business Park, near Ashlett?
Yes, sites like Ensign Way Business Park are within our area, along with the rest of Ashlett. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
How long will the new sealant last?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
Do you take on multi-site work?
Yes. We take on portfolio and planned maintenance work, planned site by site to suit how each building is used.
Do you replace failed glazing units?
No. Glazing, windows and glass replacement aren’t part of our work. We seal the joints around them, including perimeters where frames meet the structure.
How many days will you need on site?
That varies with the scale of the job, though a typical visit usually takes anything from a single day to several weeks, depending on joint lengths, access and the weather. For bigger or phased jobs, we will set out a timescale with the quote.
Will you come and look before quoting?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, drawings or a joint schedule. Where they aren’t, we arrange a site visit before quoting.
Different surfaces, different methods
Window and door perimeters
Frames grow and shrink with temperature, and the perimeter joint has to follow. Rod placed at the right depth lets the bead stretch without tearing.
Brick and stone facades
Stone can absorb plasticisers from the wrong sealant. We use a product suitable for the stone where the specification names one, with masked edges for a clean line.
