About our construction mastic in Finkley Down
Perimeter sealing outside needs a dry joint and the right temperature. Each sealant has a temperature range, and damp, frost or condensation on frames stops work. Internal sealing often fills those days. If you have failed sealant in an existing building being refurbished and frame gaps too wide for sealant alone, we can help, on sanitary and kitchen joints, internal decorators’ caulk and brick and block movement joints alike. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: in Finkley Down, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
For a site near Finkley Down, the mastic visit is planned so the right sealants, primers and backing rod are on hand. Drawings, photographs and the programme let us give a fixed quote.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

Building and refurbishing in Finkley Down
A 2-mile radius around Finkley Down takes in a number of hotels. Hotel schemes tend to have fixed reopening dates, so the mastic is programmed tightly with the other trades. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. That doesn’t stop wet spells, or frosty starts that leave panels too damp to seal, so external mastic is timed for workable conditions and agreed with the site manager.
For contractors at a school such as Vigo Primary School, sealing has to be finished before term starts. Work at a hotel such as Best Western Andover Hotel, 1.3 miles south-west of Finkley Down, tends to be programmed around bookings, mastic included.

Should maintenance staff do it?
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are where general trades tend to cut corners.
There’s also the paperwork. 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.
Finkley Down: questions and answers
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Andover Hospital (Grounds)?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Can work at a site such as Andover College fit around teaching?
Yes. We plan campus work around teaching, exams and residence turnarounds. Let us know which documents your site asks for, and we will confirm them alongside the quote.
What will the job cost?
That depends on the job: quantities, access, the product and any phasing. Call for a quote and we will price it properly.
Can one quote cover more than one building?
Yes. We take on portfolio and planned maintenance work, planned site by site to suit how each building is used.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance.
Can you fit around our working hours?
The office is staffed Monday to Friday, from 8am until 5pm. Let us know your site hours and access windows, and the work will be planned around them.
Is the mastic package guaranteed?
Each package is backed by a 12-month guarantee. We carry five million pounds of public liability insurance.
How the job changes by surface
External facade and movement joints
External movement joints often need primer, depending on the substrate. Primer goes on where the sealant maker calls for it, and seal only with a dry joint inside the product’s temperature range.
Kitchens and utility areas
Kitchen joints are sealed after fitting and before final clean. A kitchen-suitable sealant is used and hygienic or food-safe grades wherever food contact is possible.

Do you need construction mastic in Finkley Down?
Swapping the specified sealant for a cheaper general-purpose product is a common cause of failure. A sealant that isn’t right for the substrate or the movement will fail ahead of time. We stick to the specified product, or put any alternative to you first.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- A long mastic snag list close to completion
- New external sealant already peeling away
- Sanitary sealant damaged by following trades
- Perimeter gaps outside the sealant’s range
Extensions at sites like Andover Hospital (Grounds) (2.1 miles west of Finkley Down) typically sit beside working departments, and the mastic follows strict access rules.
Questions to ask before you book
- Are they CHAS accredited or on Constructionline?
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
- How the existing material will be dealt with
- Their plan for phasing and protecting the area

Cost factors for mastic packages
The price varies from site to site. It mainly depends on:
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Which sealant the job calls for
- How accessible the joints are
- The total length or number of joints
The specified product makes a difference, as does the preparation each joint needs, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
Before you send an enquiry
There’s no need for a formal survey. These details are enough to start:
- Your programme or deadline
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- The product your specification calls for
Every job follows the same four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. The first step is to ring 01277 525 020 or email the details over with what you know.
