Questions we are asked in Lee-on-the-Solent
Is Lee-on-the-Solent too far out for you?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. London and every South East county are within our area. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Does the sea air around Lee-on-the-Solent change the choice of sealant?
It can, yes: buildings near the sea take more wind-driven rain, and salt in the air nearer the shore. We check the specified product suits the exposure and pay close attention to preparation.
Which sealant do you use on facades?
The product follows the joint’s movement, the surfaces and the specification. Specifications often refer to BS EN 15651-1 for facade sealants or BS EN 15651-2 for glazing, and we work to what is specified.
When is resealing likely to be due?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
Can you send site paperwork?
Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote.
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. Internal work is far less affected.
Which sealant will you use?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
How we handle facade sealing in Lee-on-the-Solent
Every facade quote starts with how the joints will be reached. Tell us about access: whether scaffold is already up, what the client is arranging, and any restrictions on the site, and we’ll fit the work around it. We work on cladding panel joints, shopfront frames and stone and brick facade joints, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are weathered joints at frame-to-structure perimeters and failed sealant on precast panel joints. Searching for sealant specialists in Lee-on-the-Solent? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005, CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
In a smaller place such as Lee-on-the-Solent, construction tends to mean small housing schemes, conversions and extensions to community buildings. Small schemes still need window perimeters, facade joints and internal sealant done to the specification.
Work we carry out comes with a 12-month guarantee. If an installation problem shows up, ring 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll arrange a return visit.

Why it’s worth doing now in Lee-on-the-Solent
If access is already up for other work, resealing at the same time makes sense. Combine it with planned external works and you only arrange access once. For buildings in places like Lee-on-the-Solent, one well-planned visit beats several small ones, so we’d suggest renewing all the joints that are going, not just the worst.
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.

Should maintenance staff do it?
Paperwork matters too. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are where general trades tend to cut corners.
How a job runs
Inspect, seal, sign off: that’s the shape of every visit. First comes an inspection and agreement on scope, then we prepare and seal each joint with the specified product, and we finish with a walk round so the work can be signed off. Work in places the size of Lee-on-the-Solent is planned as a single visit where we can. Photos with rough sizes let us arrive with everything needed.
- We look at the joints, the drawings and the access before pricing.
- The old bead is cut away completely, not overlaid.
- Joint faces are cleaned to firm, sound material, with primer where the sealant maker specifies it.
- Closed-cell rod fixes the depth, and the sealant grips two sides only.
- The new sealant goes in and is tooled firmly onto both faces.
- The completed runs are checked with you, then the 12-month guarantee applies.
Getting the site ready
- Tell staff and tenants when we will be in
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements

Do you need facade sealing in Lee-on-the-Solent?
A frequent fault is a bead stuck to the joint’s rear face as well as its sides. Without rod or bond-breaker tape, the bead is held back and rips when the facade moves.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Discoloured or dirty facade joints
- Sealant pulling away from frames or panels
- Water coming in around window frames
- Previous reseals run over old sealant
