Construction mastic in Gunville, done properly
Getting a subcontractor through site induction should be simple. Our applicators are CSCS-carded, and we are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and we are fully insured. RAMS, an insurance certificate and CSCS details can be confirmed with the quote if you tell us what you need. We work on window and door perimeters, internal decorators’ caulk and brick and block movement joints, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are mastic snags holding up handover and missed perimeter joints on a new elevation. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Gunville from the first photographs to the final walk-round, whether it’s one building or several.
Construction in and around smaller places such as Gunville is often barn conversions, small groups of houses or extensions to halls and schools. Each still needs a proper mastic package: window perimeters, facade joints and internal sealant to the specification.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: twelve months on the work we carried out. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

Building and refurbishing in Gunville
The area within 2 miles of Gunville holds several hotels. Hotel schemes tend to have fixed reopening dates, so the mastic is programmed tightly with the other trades. Gunville sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Even so, frost and condensation on steel and glass are common on winter mornings, so the external programme keeps a little slack.
Hospital estates such as Laidlaw Day Hospital (to the north-east of Gunville) 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. Projects at schools like Carisbrooke College work to term dates, so mastic is programmed tightly. For contractors at a college like HTP Apprenticeship College, 1.1 miles to the east of Gunville, perimeters and internal sealant are timed for the holidays.

When it isn’t the sealant
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we are upfront when that’s the case. It won’t fix:
- Approving fire stopping as compliant
- Frame gaps too wide for sealant, which the installer needs to correct
- Damage to finishes by other trades after we’ve sealed
Not sure which it is? You can call the office on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we will tell you honestly.
Where we work in Gunville
- Window and door perimeters
- Brick and block movement joints
- Floor and skirting junctions
- Internal decorators’ caulk
- Cladding and panel joints
- Sanitary and kitchen joints
After the work
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Pass these on to them:
- Don’t force external sealing on a damp or frosty day
- Note which sealant went where at handover
- Put any product change through the designer first
- Flag uneven or tapered frame gaps early
Our 12-month guarantee covers the workmanship from sign-off. The guarantee covers how we sealed, not later damage by other trades.
One unsealed frame can let water into finished internal areas. That normally means redoing finishes in a completed area, and a delay to handover. Checking perimeters before internal finishes go on avoids it.
What the job involves on each surface
Fire-rated sealant where specified
Fire-rated sealant forms part of some packages, installed to the product’s tested detail where it is specified. Fire stopping design belongs to the designer and building control.
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 any bath is loaded with water first where that’s the agreed method.
Owners, agents and contractors
CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, we make supplier vetting simple. We’re fully insured, and our insurance certificate can go with the quote.
Agents, factors and owners’ representatives all follow the same route: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed. We can agree access arrangements and keyholder contacts beforehand.
Why deal with it now?
Clearing snags piecemeal is tempting when handover is close. But one planned snagging pass through each area typically clears more for less disruption. We can run snagging as its own phase before handover. Around Gunville, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once, rather than one at a time. Send photos of each area and we will quote for the lot.
We don’t publish prices, since every building and every scope is different. For a fixed figure, call for a quote.
