About our construction mastic in Eling
We work to the specification and the programme. If a product is named, that’s what goes in, and if an alternative is proposed, it goes to you for acceptance first. Backing, primer and depth follow what the sealant maker sets out. The enquiries we see most involve existing joints on a refurb that need cutting out and resealing and missed perimeter joints on a new elevation, across sanitary and kitchen joints, window and door perimeters and brick and block movement joints. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in Eling, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Conversions around smaller places like Eling often join new frames to old masonry or timber, which leaves joints between old walls and new frames that need a sealant able to take the movement.
We stand behind the joints we seal with a 12-month guarantee. That covers our preparation and application.

When to call us in Eling
Most mastic snags on new buildings come from sequencing rather than product. Sealing before decorators, flooring or other trades have finished leaves joints exposed to damage, and the joint has to be redone.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- Failed sealant in an existing building being refurbished
- External joints sealed in damp or cold conditions that are now failing
- Caulk cracking where joints are moving more than expected
- Window and door perimeters that won’t pass inspection
For contractors on a campus like Southampton Solent University, 3.7 miles to the east of Eling, facade and perimeter sealing has to fit around students and term dates.
Before you book anyone
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
- The named product and why it was chosen
- How long is the guarantee, and what does it include?
- How the existing material will be dealt with
What sealant work can’t fix
Part of a good diagnosis is knowing where sealant stops. You’ll hear from us if the cause turns out to be any of the following:
- Frame gaps too wide for sealant, which the installer needs to correct
- Defective windows, doors or glazing units (the supplier or installer’s job)
- Specifying the product where the designer hasn’t
Not sure which it is? You can speak to us on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll tell you honestly.

Common questions from Eling clients
Does your area include sites such as Brokenford Business Park, near Eling?
Yes. Our area takes in Eling and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Brokenford Business Park included. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Is Eling too small for you to travel to?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We work across Greater London and the South East. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Can the building stay open while you work?
In the majority of cases, yes. Phased work can be planned so areas stay in use, with each area protected and signed.
How soon can the area be used again?
Curing time varies by product, and we confirm it on the day, and sign any area that should be left alone.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so everything comes out first.
Is the mastic package guaranteed?
The work is guaranteed for 12 months, covering how we sealed. Keeping other trades off finished joints prevents most problems.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
General trades versus a specialist
The visible bead is only part of the job. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are where general trades tend to cut corners.
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class.
Facades, frames and programmes in Eling
Eling is within about 1 mile of the coast. On a coastal site, facade and perimeter joints face driven rain and, closer to the beach, salt, so we check the specified product suits the exposure before the first bead. Several hotels sit less than 2 miles from Eling. Hotel refurbishments often run to tight programmes between busy periods, and perimeter and sanitary sealant has to keep up.
For a contractor at a hotel such as The Station Hotel, under half a mile to the north-east of Eling, the mastic often has to be finished before a reopening date. Hospital estates such as Western Community Hospital (1.9 miles north-east of Eling) 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.
Eling is about 1 mile south-east of Totton, in Hampshire. Anywhere in SO40, it works the same way: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed. Our Hampshire coverage takes in 723 places.
We take on mastic packages across the SO40 and SO15 postcode area. For a building on Bury Lane, Rose Road and Mill Road or nearby, we can quote for mastic packages. Access to Eling is via the A35, so getting applicators and materials to site is simple. Sites close to Eling are covered too, including Redbridge (1 mile north-east), Millbrook (2 miles east), Hillyfields (2 miles north-east), Maybush (2 miles north-east) and Regents Park (2 miles east). Nearby towns on our patch include Winchester (13 miles north-east), Eastleigh (7 miles north-east), Fareham (13 miles east), Chandler's Ford (7 miles north-east), Hedge End (8 miles east) and Lymington (11 miles south).
Around Eling
Around Eling, our work takes us to commercial buildings near The Anchor pub and Hounsdown School and the streets around them. There’s a railway station in Eling itself: Totton station. Other landmarks nearby include Western Community Hospital (1.9 miles north-east) and Eling Experience (0.6 miles north). Not far away are Testwood Lakes.
Owners, agents and contractors
Agents, factors and owners’ representatives all follow the same route: send the details, accept a fixed quote, and we carry out and guarantee the work. Keys, access and contacts can be agreed in advance.
We work for building owners and managing agents on everything from one building to a spread of sites. One quote can cover more than one site, which keeps the paperwork simple.

Our process
A typical day starts with protection: masking tape along the joint edges and sheeting over anything nearby. The work itself normally takes a few days on a modest refurbishment and longer on multi-plot or multi-storey schemes, and we clear our waste as we work. For a site in Eling, we plan so the whole job is done in one go where possible. Photos with rough sizes let us arrive with everything needed.
- Drawings, specification and programme come to us.
- We take off quantities and return a fixed quote.
- We agree with the site team which areas come first.
- Plots or floors are sealed as they’re handed over.
- Joints are prepared, backed and sealed to the specification.
- Snags are cleared and the package signed off with our 12-month guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- Flag any permit to work we will need
Quotes
Send us photos, drawings or a joint schedule are often enough for a fixed quote. If the job needs a look first, we’ll arrange a site visit.
Advice
What the job involves on each surface
Bathrooms, en suites and washrooms
Sanitary joints around baths, showers, basins and WCs need anti-mould sanitary silicone. Joints are cleaned, sealed and tooled neatly and baths are loaded where appropriate before sealing.
Fire-rated sealant where specified
Fire-rated sealant is one type of fire-stopping product. Other products are used for some services and gaps. Record requirements are agreed with the quote.
