Photos, a specification or a quick description of the joints is enough to start a fixed quote.
Maintenance after handover
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Ask installers to correct oversized gaps first
- Put any product change through the designer first
- Note which sealant went where at handover
- Ask cleaners to use soft cloths around fresh sealant
After we’ve sealed an area, it helps to keep other trades from damaging the joints. Fresh sealant needs its cure time before it’s cleaned, painted near or knocked, and that time depends on the product, temperature and joint depth.
External joints sealed in poor weather are a common cause of early failure. Holding off until conditions suit avoids callbacks.
About our construction mastic in Farnborough
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. Our aim is joints that pass at the first inspection. Most enquiries involve sanitary sealant damaged by following trades and caulk cracking where joints are moving more than expected, on cladding and panel joints, floor and skirting junctions and internal decorators’ caulk. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Farnborough first comes to us: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Developers and contractors working in Farnborough want mastic that keeps pace with the build: sealing as scaffold comes down or as each floor is decorated, and snagging before handover. Tell us the programme and we will quote to it.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee, in Farnborough as everywhere else we work. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

How a job runs
Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: masking tape along the joint edges and sheeting over anything nearby. On site, the work typically takes a few days on a modest refurbishment and longer on multi-plot or multi-storey schemes, and our waste is bagged and taken away as we go. In a town such as Farnborough, most jobs are single buildings. Your photos, drawings or a site visit come first, followed by a fixed quote.
- First we look at the scope on site or from drawings.
- A fixed quote sets out scope, products and phasing.
- Paperwork is agreed and applicators are inducted on site.
- We seal plot by plot or floor by floor in line with the programme.
- Problems we find, such as oversized gaps, are raised straight away.
- The package is closed out, snags cleared and backed by our 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements

Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it. For smaller jobs, photographs and a description will do.

Leave it or put it right?
Getting the mastic contractor involved early pays off. We can check joint widths, flag frames with gaps that won’t seal and confirm products against the specification. Called in at the end, the same issues surface during handover. For businesses and landlords in Farnborough, a tidy, sound joint also matters for appearance. Fresh sealant makes a building look maintained.
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.
Why clients in Farnborough choose us
- Fixed quotes based on photos, drawings or a visit
- Matching to RAL references, product permitting
- Coloured sealants to suit the setting, where available
- Work to your specification and the manufacturer’s guidance

Construction mastic around Farnborough: how the place shapes the job
Farnborough is about 32 miles from central London. 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. Rainfall across the South East, Farnborough included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Winter mornings still bring frost and condensation on frames and panels, so we time external mastic for dry faces and agree it with the site team.
Extensions at sites like Frimley Park Hospital, 2.1 miles north-east of Farnborough, normally sit beside working departments, and the mastic follows strict access rules. For a contractor at a hotel such as Village Hotel, which lies south-east of Farnborough, the mastic often has to be finished before a reopening date.

When it isn’t the sealant
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It won’t put right:
- Specifying the product where the designer hasn’t
- Fire-stopping design or sign-off (that’s for the designer, fire engineer and building control)
- Defective windows, doors or glazing units (the supplier or installer’s job)

Questions we’re asked in Farnborough
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Frimley Park Hospital, something you do?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Can you work at a site such as Invincible Road Industrial Estate, by Farnborough?
Yes. Our area takes in Farnborough and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Invincible Road Industrial Estate included. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Do you install fire-rated sealant as part of a package?
Where the specification calls for fire-rated or intumescent sealant around service penetrations or linear gaps, we install it to the manufacturer’s tested details. Fire-stopping design and sign-off sit with the designer and building control.
What does a mastic package normally include?
External and internal frame perimeters, caulking where it’s specified, sanitary silicone, kitchen joints and snagging before handover. The scope follows your specification.
How long do sealant joints last?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
How long does a job like this take?
The duration is planned around your programme and the access we’re given. We will give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
How much does the work cost?
Each job is quoted on its own details. To get one, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email the details over with a description of the work.
When to call us in Farnborough
Shrinkage and settlement in the first months put new joints under strain. Plaster, screeds, timber and blockwork all shrink as they lose moisture and internal caulk in a moving joint is normally the first to crack. Choosing the right product for each joint reduces that.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Different trades sealing to different standards
- Sealant knocked or painted over by other trades
- Internal caulk splitting as the building dries out
- Old sealant on a refurbishment that needs stripping before new work
For contractors refurbishing units at places like Invincible Road Industrial Estate, 0.5 miles to the south of Farnborough, the mastic covers cladding panels, roller-door and window perimeters.
