How a job runs
Working in a building that stays open takes some planning. We sign and contain the area we are in, with routes through the building left open and move on in phases so staff and visitors can carry on around us. For work around Harbridge, we aim to finish in one visit, so we ask for photographs and rough sizes first. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- We plan access and the order of elevations with the client.
- We only seal when joints are dry and within the product’s temperature range.
- We remove the old bead and check the edges are sound.
- Faces are cleaned, primed where needed and backed.
- Sealant is gunned in and tooled hard onto both faces.
- Once signed off, the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
- Tell staff and tenants when we’ll be in
Ask for a quote
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints and a fixed quote comes back to you. Where a site visit makes more sense, we will arrange one.
Advice
Facade sealing in Harbridge, done properly
Installing framed glazing systems isn’t part of our work. 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. We work on coping and flashing joints, stone and brick facade joints and shopfront frames, and what we’re called in for most is leaks at window and door perimeters and patch repairs that keep failing. Most enquiries from Harbridge start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
Sites around smaller places like Harbridge can be a fair drive from suppliers, so we come with everything the package needs. Send drawings or photographs and the programme and we will quote to suit.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

When to call us in Harbridge
Product choice matters: an acetoxy cure can mark stone or corrode some metals, and interior products break down outdoors. Neutral-cure, facade-grade products are what most external joints need.
Most enquiries start with one or more of the following:
- Failed sealant on precast panel joints
- Unsightly perimeter sealant on a visible elevation
- Perimeter sealant that has split or peeled away
- Water coming in around window frames
New wings at hospitals like Fordingbridge Hospital, 2.6 miles to the north of Harbridge, bring long runs of window and panel joints to seal.
What to look for in a quote
- Who will actually carry out the work
- Proof of insurance
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
What the job involves on each surface
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.
Precast concrete panels
Concrete edges can be dusty or weak. We clean back to sound material and flag edges that need repair before sealing.
What sets the cost
What shapes the price:
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Location, for remote and island sites
- The total length or number of joints
- Phasing around occupants
Cost follows what’s involved: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll explain how it’s made up.
What we need to price the job
There’s no need for a formal survey. A few details are enough to get going:
- What the building is and how it’s used
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
Let us know the site, the scope and your timescale, and a fixed quote will follow. The easiest way is to call 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form.

Questions we’re asked in Harbridge
Can you work on a hospital site such as Fordingbridge Hospital?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
Does your area include sites such as Headlands Business Park, near Harbridge?
Yes. Our area takes in Harbridge and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Headlands Business Park included. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
Does the weather affect the work?
It can, when the joints are outside. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
Which sealant will you use?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
Can you quote from photographs?
That depends on the size and complexity of the job. Simple work can often be priced from photos, and bigger or more complex jobs normally get a visit.
When can the area be used after sealing?
The product and site conditions decide that. Some products skin over quickly but need longer to cure fully, so we’ll confirm the curing time on the day.
After the work
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Don’t wait for a second leak before calling
- Confirm the survey covers external sealants in older buildings
- Plan facade sealing alongside redecoration
- Keep the sealant details on the building file
Blocked sills and gutters push water at the joints. Good drainage keeps water moving off the facade rather than sitting against the joints.
Use each reseal to correct the joint: the right width, backing rod and a sealant with enough movement capability. Repeating a faulty detail just repeats the failure.
Facade sealing in Harbridge: the local picture
Rainfall across the South East, Harbridge included, is lower than in many 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.
New units and refits on sites such as Headlands Business Park (to the south of Harbridge) need their panel and perimeter joints sealed to the specification.
