Surface by surface
Perimeter joints at frames and structure
These frame-to-structure joints take a lot of movement and weather. We cut them out, prepare both faces and reseal to the specification with a product suited to glazing perimeters.
Coping and flashing joints
Not every coping or flashing leak is a sealant problem. We tell you if the fix is a roofing or metalwork job rather than a reseal.
About our facade sealing in Wickham Common
Most facade joint failures trace back to the joint, not just the sealant. The width has to suit the expected movement and the sealant’s movement capability, and closed-cell rod sets the depth, keeping the bond to two faces with the ratio the sealant maker recommends, often around 2:1. If you’re dealing with damp patches beside frames after rain and new sealant peeling off old mastic, we can put it right, whatever the surface. Searching for sealant specialists in Wickham Common? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005, CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
Conversions of older rural buildings near smaller places such as Wickham Common 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.

Sites and facades in and around Wickham Common
Wickham Common is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. Still, external mastic needs dry faces within the maker’s temperature limits, which isn’t every day, so external mastic is timed for workable conditions and agreed with the site manager. Central London is about 63 miles from Wickham Common. Construction around the commuter belt mixes station-side flats with refurbished offices and units, and main contractors there need mastic that keeps to the programme.
Recladding or extending a unit at a site like Knowle Village Business Park, 1.7 miles west of Wickham Common, brings panel joints and frame perimeters into the programme. For a contractor at a hotel such as The Old House Hotel, which lies north-west of Wickham Common, the mastic often has to be finished before a reopening date.
Wickham Common is about 3 miles north-east of Fareham, in Hampshire. Any commercial site in Wickham Common is covered, for single jobs and planned programmes alike. Across Hampshire, 723 places are covered, Wickham Common among them. Portsmouth is covered too, around 7 miles from Wickham Common.
Work on facade joints is covered throughout PO17, for business premises of every kind. For a building on Southwick Road, Castle Farm Lane and Black Cottage Lane or nearby, we can quote for facade joints. If your building is just outside Wickham Common, we cover Crockerhill (1 mile south-west), Hundred Acres (1 mile north-east), Welborne (1 mile south-west), North Boarhunt (1 mile east) and North Fareham (2 miles south).

Around Wickham Common
We work on buildings around The Old House Hotel. The nearest railway station is Fareham station, roughly 2.8 miles south. Well-known places in the area include Knowle Hospital (1.6 miles south-west) and Fareham Shopping Centre (2.6 miles south). Green spaces nearby include St Clair's Meadow and Portsdown Hill.
What we’re called out for in Wickham Common
A frequent fault is a bead stuck to the joint’s rear face as well as its sides. With no backing, the sealant is restrained and tears as the joint moves.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Water coming in around window frames
- Facade joints cracked through the middle
- Old perimeter mastic that has dried out
- Failed sealant on precast panel joints
School extensions, at buildings such as Wickham Church of England Primary School, normally run to the summer holidays, mastic included.
What your quote should include
- How long is the guarantee, and what does it include?
- Are they CHAS accredited or on Constructionline?
- Proof of insurance
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid

Questions we’re asked in Wickham Common
Is Wickham Common too far out for you?
Not at all. Wickham Common is within our area. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Knowle Hospital?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
What hours do you work?
We’re in the office from 8am until 5pm, Monday to Friday. Let us know your site hours and access windows, and the work will be planned around them.
Will you quote for a small job?
Small jobs are welcome alongside larger packages. Photos and a description are enough to start.
Can you just add new sealant on top?
No. Fresh silicone won’t grip cured silicone, so the existing bead is removed entirely and the faces are cleaned before resealing. Nothing else gives a bond that lasts.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. Our applicators hold CSCS cards.
What do you charge?
It depends on the job: quantities, access, the product and any phasing. Call for a fixed quote.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
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. Jobs in and around smaller places like Wickham Common are typically planned as a single visit, so we ask for photographs and rough sizes first. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- First we review photographs, drawings or what we saw on a visit, and agree how each joint will be reached.
- 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.
- The new sealant goes in and is tooled firmly onto both faces.
- We walk the finished joints with you before handing over.
Preparing the site
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Point out parking and an unloading spot

Advice
Doing it in-house
Redoing a failed joint typically costs more than getting it right at the outset, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
Certain joints really need a specialist: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
What sealant work can’t fix
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Cracked or spalling substrates that need repair before sealing
- Movement beyond what any sealant can handle
- Specialist high-level access methods
If you are not sure, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or email us and we will give you a straight answer.

- Window and door perimeters
- Cladding panel joints
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Stone and brick facade joints

Aftercare for building managers
After handover, a little attention goes a long way:
- Report water ingress at frames as soon as it shows
- Brief window cleaners about newly sealed joints
- Keep sills, gutters and drainage paths clear
- Ask about asbestos in pre-2000 mastic
Record the sealant type and date on the building file. It helps when matching repairs or planning the next reseal without guesswork.
Building facade joints into a maintenance cycle avoids emergency repairs. Regular checks let you renew joints before water gets in.
