Construction mastic in Abbotswood

Share the site address and what’s failing, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote or arrange a visit.

On site: what to expect

Where the site stays busy, the work is phased so only one area is out of use at a time. Each section is protected, cleaned back and sealed, then handed back before the next one starts. Jobs in and around smaller places like Abbotswood are typically planned as a single visit, so we ask for photographs and rough sizes first. That way the right products come on the day.

  1. First we take quantities off the drawings and read through the specification.
  2. You receive a fixed quote listing scope, products and phasing.
  3. Any site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) is confirmed with the quote.
  4. Areas are sealed plot by plot or floor by floor as the trades hand them over.
  5. Joints are cleaned, primed where the maker requires it, backed and sealed to the specification.
  6. We close out snagging and hand over with a 12-month guarantee.

What we need from you

  • Send any specification or drawings in advance
  • Let building users know which areas are affected
  • Share your working hours and any access restrictions

Construction mastic in Abbotswood

Buyers, tenants and clients notice sealant lines long before they notice the structure. Untidy or missed joints are among the commonest snag items and clearing them late eats into the handover window. We seal so the snag list stays short, whatever the size of the scheme. We work on window and door perimeters, cladding and panel joints and sanitary and kitchen joints, and what we are called in for most is inconsistent sealant finishes from plot to plot and frame perimeters left unsealed or poorly sealed. For commercial sealant work in Abbotswood, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, whether it’s one building or several.

Construction in and around smaller places such as Abbotswood is often barn conversions, small groups of houses or extensions to halls and schools. Perimeters, facade joints and internal sealant all need doing properly, however small the scheme.

Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: twelve months on the work we carried out. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we’re upfront about that.

Quoting for work in Abbotswood

These are the things that shape the price:

  • Site requirements such as inductions and permits
  • The total length or number of joints
  • Access and working height
  • Removal of failed or old sealant

Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well, along with the time of year for external work.

Before you send an enquiry

Good information means a firmer quote. Helpful details to send:

  • Specification clauses that apply
  • When you need the work done
  • Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
  • Where the site is, with the postcode

Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photographs and a few notes.

Abbotswood: questions and answers

Is Abbotswood too small for you to travel to?

Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.

Would you work within a site like Romsey Hospital?

Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.

What site paperwork can you supply?

Each site asks for different documents, so list what you need, whether RAMS, insurance or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm with the quote.

How do we ask for a quote?

There are four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. The first step only needs photos and a postcode.

How much does the work cost?

Each job is quoted on its own details. For yours, call 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form with a description of the work.

Who decides which product is used?

A specification, where there is one, decides it. Without one, the joint decides: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.

Can you fit around our working hours?

The office is staffed Monday to Friday, from 8am until 5pm. Tell us your site hours and access windows and the work will be fitted around them.

When to bring in a specialist

Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. The usual problems come from preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.

For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint.

Why deal with it now?

Some packages split mastic across the window fitter, kitchen fitter and plumber. In practice it often means different standards, gaps in responsibility and snags nobody owns. A single mastic package gives one point of responsibility, with the same standard on every plot. Around Abbotswood, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once, rather than one at a time. Send photographs of each area and we’ll quote for the lot.

Pricing mastic packages depends on how many there are, their condition and the access, plus any specification you’re working to. Call for a quote.

Contractors’ notes for Abbotswood

Abbotswood lies roughly 69 miles out from central London. Building activity in the commuter belt runs from new flats near stations to business park refurbishments, and each scheme needs its mastic sealed to programme. There are several hotels within about 2 miles of Abbotswood. Hotel extensions and refits typically have to fit around bookings, so mastic dates are tight.

Hospital estates such as Romsey Hospital, 1.1 miles to the south of Abbotswood, tend to grow and change in phases, often next to occupied wards, so facade and perimeter sealing has to fit the estates team’s plan. For a contractor at a hotel such as The Abbey Hotel (1.4 miles south-west of Abbotswood), the mastic often has to be finished before a reopening date. With historic properties like Mottisfont Abbey (3.2 miles north-west of Abbotswood) in the area, refurbishment work often meets old masonry that needs compatible sealants.

Abbotswood is about 1 mile north of Romsey, in Hampshire. We cover Abbotswood and the rest of Hampshire, with the same fixed quotes and 12-month guarantee as everywhere else. We work across 723 places in Hampshire, from busy centres to rural villages. Our Southampton page has more on work in that area (7 miles or so).

Commercial sites across SO51 are covered for mastic packages. If your site is on Cupernham Lane, Treviglio Close and Battenberg Close or close by, send details and we’ll quote for mastic packages. Just outside Abbotswood, we also work in Belbins (1 mile north-west), Braishfield (1 mile north-east), Crampmoor (1 mile east), Gosport (2 miles east) and Lower Slackstead (2 miles north-east). Bigger towns within reach include Winchester (8 miles north-east), Eastleigh (7 miles south-east), Andover (14 miles north), Totton (6 miles south), Chandler's Ford (5 miles east) and Hedge End (10 miles south-east).

For managing agents and facilities managers

Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients come to us directly as well. The work is planned around how the building runs, so the building keeps working while we do.

Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. We phase the work so people keep access, with each stage agreed with your site contact.

Surface by surface

External facade and movement joints

Movement joints in the facade are sealed with a product suited to the expected movement. Depth is controlled with backing rod so the bead bonds to two sides only.

Bathrooms, en suites and washrooms

Sanitary joints around baths, showers, basins and WCs need anti-mould sanitary silicone. Each joint is prepared, sealed and finished with a neat tooled line and baths are loaded where appropriate before sealing.
