Commercial mastic work in South Ham
A reseal stands or falls on the preparation underneath it. Silicone has no grip on cured silicone, so the failed bead is cut out completely, then both faces are cleaned back to sound, dry material with no dust or grease on them. Where the sealant maker specifies a primer for that substrate, it goes on before the new bead. We work on floor and threshold joints, window and door perimeters and movement joints in walls and floors, and the failures we are asked to look at most are smeared sealant across finishes from a rushed job and earlier reseals applied straight onto the failed bead. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in South Ham from the first photos to the final walk-round, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
Multi-site clients with buildings in and around South Ham can put several sites on one programme, with one quote format and one point of contact.
Small businesses near places like South Ham frequently occupy converted farm buildings. Old masonry and timber meet new glazing and partitions in these buildings, and every junction needs a sealant that suits it.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: twelve months on the work we carried out. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

Maintenance after handover
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. Our advice:
- Put external and wet-area joints on a regular inspection round
- Have extract fans checked so wet areas dry out
- Act on the first lifting edges rather than waiting
- Keep abrasive pads and scrapers off resealed joints
Good ventilation keeps wet-area sealant in better condition. Fans that are broken or switched off leave joints damp for longer. It’s worth having fans checked while the sealant is fresh.
Tenants and staff spot black or split sealant quickly, and in a hotel, office or shop it makes the whole space look neglected. Replacing it on a planned cycle keeps complaints down.
Why deal with it now?
A cheaper quote sometimes means the old bead stays in. Sealing over looks tidy at handover, then lifts once the joint starts moving. Our prices always include removal of the failed bead and full joint preparation. A failed joint lets water into a building whatever its size. Early resealing avoids the damage that follows a leak.
No two sites price the same: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.

Our process
Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them. On the day, the work area is kept contained and tidy, and we check in with your contact before moving on to each new area. If neighbouring businesses or buildings around South Ham need work too, visits can be combined. Mention the building’s opening times and we’ll work within them.
- Site photographs, drawings or a visit tell us what’s there and how it has failed.
- You get a fixed quote covering removal, preparation and the new sealant.
- Sequence, access and working times are settled before the first joint is touched.
- The failed sealant comes out and the faces are prepared, with primer where required.
- Backing goes in, the new sealant is laid and tooled, and the area is left neat.
- We hand back each area with its cure time and our 12-month guarantee.
Getting the site ready
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Tell staff and tenants when we will be in
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
Request 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
Common questions from South Ham clients
Will our hotel in South Ham need to close for the work?
Rarely. Rooms or floors are done in turn, so the rest of the hotel keeps trading. We agree the order of rooms and the timings with you before we start.
Is South Ham off your patch?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
How long do sealant joints last?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
Can you take on work for an FM or managing agent?
Yes, and through main contractors too. You send the details, we return a fixed quote, and the job is done and signed off.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
When can the area be used after sealing?
We’ll confirm how long the chosen product needs to cure.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance.
Doing it in-house
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but larger jobs are different: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
Certain joints really need a specialist: for instance fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong usually costs more in the end than doing them right.

Surface by surface
Fire-rated seals where specified
Intumescent and other fire-rated sealants go in at service penetrations and linear gaps to the maker’s tested details, where they are specified. Fire-stopping design and sign-off sit with the designer, fire engineer or building control; we install what’s specified.
Window and door perimeters
Internally, window boards and frame edges often have decorators’ caulk or silicone that has cracked. The product depends on whether the joint will be painted.
What we can’t put right
Being straight saves everyone time. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- Leaks from pipework, wastes or valves (that’s plumbing)
- Broken glass or blown double-glazed units
- A failed roof covering or waterproofing membrane
If you’re not sure, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we seal
- Window and door perimeters
- External facade joints
- Floor and threshold joints
- Kitchen worktops and splashbacks
- Movement joints in walls and floors

Commercial premises in South Ham
Central London is about 47 miles from South Ham. The commuter belt holds a great many offices, retail parks and business parks. Occupiers with several premises in the region tend to prefer one contractor and one point of contact. Rainfall across the South East, South Ham included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Even so, outside sealing waits for a dry joint, and cold, damp mornings can delay it.
If you have premises on more than one site, say at West Ham Industrial Estate and Basingstoke Business Centre, one contractor and one quote can cover both. For premises near Basingstoke station (1.2 miles north-east of South Ham), footfall is part of the plan: work is phased so shops and offices keep trading. A unit on an estate like West Ham Industrial Estate, under half a mile north of South Ham, normally has an office front, a trade counter and staff facilities with joints of their own.
South Ham is about 1 mile south-west of Basingstoke, in Hampshire. Any commercial site in South Ham is covered. South Ham is one of 723 places in Hampshire on our list for sealant joints. Sites around Reading have their own page, roughly 14 miles from South Ham.
