Your questions answered
Will you take on work at estates like Saltcoats Industrial Estate, close to Brandy Hole?
Yes, sites like Saltcoats Industrial Estate are within our area, along with the rest of Brandy Hole. To start, just speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Can you work on a hospital site such as Chartwell Private Hospital?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Is old mastic on our building likely to contain asbestos?
For older buildings, yes, check before work starts. The dutyholder holds the asbestos register. Suspect material is left alone until it has been tested.
Can you quote from photographs?
Photos, drawings or a schedule are often enough to quote. If the job needs a look first, we will arrange a visit.
How many days will you need on site?
It depends on the scope, but the work normally takes longer on a full elevation than on a handful of window perimeters, and it always depends on dry weather. For bigger or phased jobs, we will set out a timescale with the quote.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
Do you install glazing systems?
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 we handle facade sealing in Brandy Hole
Managing agents and owners in Brandy Hole ask us to, we reseal perimeters across whole elevations or a handful of problem windows. The approach doesn’t change with the size: cut out, clean, back, prime where needed and seal. Each job carries our 12-month guarantee. If you have leaks at window and door perimeters and hard, chalky sealant that no longer flexes, we can help, on perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, cladding panel joints and coping and flashing joints alike. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: in Brandy Hole, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Construction in and around smaller places such as Brandy Hole is often barn conversions, small groups of houses or extensions to halls and schools. Each still needs a proper mastic package: window perimeters, facade joints and internal sealant to the specification.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

Maintenance after handover
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Pass these on to them:
- Clear debris that holds water against joints
- Check the asbestos register before old mastic is disturbed
- Note when each elevation was last resealed
- Walk the elevations once or twice a year
Keep a note of which product went in and when. It helps when matching repairs or planning the next reseal without guesswork.
Use each reseal to correct the joint: the right width, backing rod and a sealant with enough movement capability. A well-designed joint lasts longer than a like-for-like copy of a failed one.
Facade sealing in Brandy Hole: the local picture
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. That doesn’t stop wet spells, or frosty starts that leave panels too damp to seal, so the external programme keeps a little slack. Brandy Hole is about 32 miles from central London. Commuter-belt towns tend to see a steady flow of new flats, offices and commercial schemes, which keeps mastic packages in demand.
Work at a hotel such as Oakland Hotel (1.1 miles north-west of Brandy Hole) tends to be programmed around bookings, mastic included. Extensions at sites like Chartwell Private Hospital (to the south of Brandy Hole) typically sit beside working departments, and the mastic follows strict access rules. When units on a site such as Saltcoats Industrial Estate, 1.4 miles to the north of Brandy Hole, are refurbished or reclad, the panel joints and window perimeters are part of the mastic package.

Why act early in Brandy Hole
Patch repairs over old sealant tend to come back. A full cut-out and fresh bead is the repair that holds. For buildings around smaller places like Brandy Hole, water damage can go unnoticed for longer, especially where a building isn’t used daily, which gives a failed joint time to do damage. Renewing joints in good time avoids the problem.
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.

Surface by surface
Precast concrete panels
Concrete edges can be dusty or weak. We clean back to sound material and flag edges that need repair before sealing.
Window and door perimeters
Aluminium, PVC-U and timber frames each have their own preparation needs. Primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it for that substrate.
