Your questions answered
Would you work within a site like Haslemere & District Hospital?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Is a smaller place like Ramsnest Common outside your area?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
Which sealant do you use on facades?
Most facade and window perimeter joints take a low-modulus neutral-cure silicone. Some joints call for hybrid, PU or polysulphide instead, depending on the substrate and the specification.
How do we ask for a quote?
The quote form is the simplest route, though you can also speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos. Include photos or drawings if you have them.
Do you take on small jobs?
Small jobs are welcome alongside larger packages. Send details for a fixed quote.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
Facade sealing in Ramsnest Common
Installing framed glazing systems isn’t part of our work. We handle the sealant joints that surround those elements: the frame-to-structure perimeter, panel-to-panel joints and window and door surrounds, using sealants classified for facade or glazing use. If you have weathered facade joints that have lost their grip and failed seals around shopfront and entrance frames, we can help, on coping and flashing joints, window and door perimeters and shopfront frames alike. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in Ramsnest Common, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Around smaller places like Ramsnest Common, building work typically 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.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

What happens if it’s left?
Open facade joints also let air and dirt through: occupants notice draughts and cold spots around windows. A new seal closes the gap for both. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Ramsnest Common, rather than one at a time. Send photographs of each area and we’ll quote for the lot.
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.
Why us?
- Fully insured
- A Constructionline member, so easy to vet
- A range of standard colours, depending on the product
- Colour agreed before work starts

Signs you need facade sealing in Ramsnest Common
Three-sided adhesion is a classic installation fault. Without rod or bond-breaker tape, the bead is held back and rips when the facade moves.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Leaks at window and door perimeters
- New sealant peeling off old mastic
- Sealant pulling away from frames or panels
- Weathered facade joints that have lost their grip
New wings at hospitals like Haslemere & District Hospital, 2.7 miles to the west of Ramsnest Common, bring long runs of window and panel joints to seal.
Comparing quotes
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
- Their pre-qualification and accreditations
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
Aftercare for building managers
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. Our advice:
- Note when each elevation was last resealed
- Walk the elevations once or twice a year
- Confirm the survey covers external sealants in older buildings
- Don’t wait for a second leak before calling
Keep gutters, sills and drainage paths clear. Sealant copes better when water runs off the facade as designed instead of soaking the joints.
Check older buildings for asbestos before disturbing old mastic. Older sealants can contain asbestos, and work stops until it’s tested if it’s suspected.

Facade sealing around Ramsnest Common: how the place shapes the job
Ramsnest Common is about 37 miles from central London. Building activity in the commuter belt runs from new flats near stations to business park refurbishments, and main contractors there need mastic that keeps to the programme. Ramsnest Common sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. 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.
For a contractor at a hotel such as The Beehive Hotel, less than half a mile south-east of Ramsnest Common, the mastic often has to be finished before a reopening date.
Ramsnest Common is about 11 miles south-east of Farnham, in Surrey. Commercial clients in Ramsnest Common use us for work on facade joints. We work across 379 places in Surrey, large and small. We also cover Portsmouth, around 27 miles from Ramsnest Common.

From enquiry to sign-off
The first thing on site is a walk round with your contact, to confirm the scope, the order of work and any areas we must keep clear. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in. For a building around Ramsnest Common, tell us how to find it and who will meet us. Add it to your enquiry and we will build it into the plan.
- We look at the joints, the drawings and the access before pricing.
- Failed sealant is cut out along its full length.
- Joint faces are cleaned to firm, sound material, with primer where the sealant maker specifies it.
- 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.
- The completed runs are checked with you, then the 12-month guarantee applies.
What we need from you
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
Getting a fixed quote
Send us photographs, drawings or a joint schedule are often enough for a fixed quote. Where a site visit makes more sense, we’ll arrange one.
