About our construction mastic in Chilworth Old Village

If you have inconsistent sealant finishes from plot to plot and caulk cracking where joints are moving more than expected, we can put it right, on brick and block movement joints, floor and skirting junctions and internal decorators’ caulk alike.

Common problems we fix in Chilworth Old Village
On construction sites, joints usually fail early because of when they were sealed, not what was used. If sealant goes in before the last trades are through, it gets knocked, painted over or contaminated, and the joint has to be redone.
Things that usually lead to an enquiry:
- Early adhesion failures on new external joints
- Perimeter gaps outside the sealant’s range
- A long mastic snag list close to completion
- Window and door perimeters that won’t pass inspection
Hotel extensions and refits, at places such as DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Southampton, which lies south-east of Chilworth Old Village, typically run between busy periods, so the sealing is squeezed into short windows.

Advice
Cost factors for mastic packages
These are the things that shape the price:
- Distance, for remote addresses
- How much there is to seal
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote, and you’ll have a fixed figure to work with.
What we need to price the job
Whether it’s one area or a whole building, these details speed things up:
- The type of building and who uses it
- The postcode of the building
- Your programme or deadline
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so you know the figure before anyone is on site. To ask for one, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email us.
Keeping the joints sound
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. We suggest:
- Keep scrapers and abrasive pads off new beads
- Get the mastic subcontractor involved early in the programme
- Note which sealant went where at handover
- Protect sealed areas from following trades
Our 12-month guarantee covers the workmanship from sign-off. Damage by others isn’t a workmanship fault which is why protection after sealing matters.
Snag items left to the last week put handover at risk. Clearing snags area by area spreads the work out and keeps handover on track.
When to bring in a specialist
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.
Paperwork matters too. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
What happens if it’s left?
When a package runs over budget, downgrading the product is a common first thought. The saving is small next to the cost of callbacks and defects. Where an alternative is genuinely suitable, we’ll say so. Converted and older buildings near places like Chilworth Old Village tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.
Pricing mastic packages depends on how many there are, their condition and the access. Call for a quote.

Will you plan work around the academic year at somewhere like University of Southampton?
Yes. We plan campus work around teaching, exams and residence turnarounds. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and paperwork such as RAMS is confirmed with the quote.

Yes. We cover Chilworth Old Village and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as University of Southampton Science Park. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to, and any queries are raised before we start.
What happens if old sealant might contain asbestos?
Some older mastics, especially in pre-2000 buildings, can contain asbestos. We check the asbestos register before cutting out old sealant in an older building, and if asbestos is suspected, work stops until it’s tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
Can you quote from photographs?
That depends on the size and complexity of the job. Straightforward work can often be priced from photographs and measurements, and bigger or more complex jobs usually get a visit.
Can you send site paperwork?
Each site asks for different documents, so list what you need, whether RAMS, insurance or CSCS details, and we will confirm with the quote.
What does a mastic package typically include?
External and internal frame perimeters, caulking where it’s specified, sanitary silicone, kitchen joints and snagging before handover. We price to the specification and drawings.
