Not sure which it is? You can call 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will tell you honestly.

About our construction mastic in Headley Down
External mastic depends on the weather in a way most internal trades don’t. Each sealant has a temperature range, and damp, frost or condensation on frames stops work. Internal areas can usually carry on while the outside waits. We work on internal decorators’ caulk, sanitary and kitchen joints and cladding and panel joints, and the failures we are asked to look at most are existing joints on a refurb that need cutting out and resealing and internal caulk splitting as the building dries out. For commercial sealant work in Headley Down, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
In a smaller place such as Headley Down, construction tends to mean small housing schemes, conversions and extensions to community buildings. Even a small site needs its perimeter and facade joints sized, backed and sealed properly.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: 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.

Contractors’ notes for Headley Down
Headley Down is about 40 miles from central London. Towns within reach of London tend to keep building, from flats to offices and schools, so mastic packages have to keep pace with busy programmes. Headley Down sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. 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 a contractor working at a hospital such as Chase Hospital (2.8 miles west of Headley Down), perimeter and facade sealing is planned around patients and deliveries. For contractors refurbishing units at places like Passfield Industrial Estate (1.8 miles south-west of Headley Down), the mastic covers cladding panels, roller-door and window perimeters.
Headley Down is about 6 miles south of Farnham, in Hampshire. Anywhere in GU35, it works the same way: details in, fixed quote out, then sealing and a 12-month guarantee. 723 places across Hampshire fall within our area, Headley Down among them. For work in that direction, see our Reading page.

What affects the price in Headley Down
What shapes the price:

- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- The product specified
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.

Common questions from Headley Down clients
Is Headley Down too far out for you?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. London and every South East county are within our area. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Can you work at a site such as Passfield Industrial Estate, by Headley Down?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Headley Down, Passfield Industrial Estate among them, are all within reach. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
How long does a typical visit take?
The duration is planned around your programme and the access we are given. We will give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
How long will the new sealant last?
There isn’t a single answer, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
Will you quote for a small job?
We quote for single jobs as well as large packages and programmes. Send details for a fixed quote.
What does a mastic package usually include?
Inside and out: frame perimeters, movement joints, caulk where called for, sanitary and kitchens.
Does the weather affect the work?
It can, when the joints are outside. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Internal work is far less affected.
What the job involves on each surface
Window and door perimeters
A frame gap that’s too wide can’t just be filled with sealant. We check them during the first walk-round and flag any that need packing or adjusting.
Internal decorators’ caulk
Caulk is easy to apply badly. Done properly, it saves decorators time and gives a clean line and reduces snags.
Signs you need construction mastic in Headley Down
Wide, tapered or inconsistent gaps around frames are a common problem. Sealant has a range of joint widths it can cope with and gaps beyond it need packing or adjusting by the frame installer. Better to raise it at the start than seal a joint that’s bound to fail.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- Bath and shower joints scraped during the final clean
- Oversized or tapered gaps around new frames
- New external sealant already peeling away
- Old sealant on a refurbishment that needs stripping before new work
School extensions, at buildings such as The Holme Church of England Primary School, usually run to the summer holidays, mastic included.
