Construction mastic in Hensting, done properly
The specification and the programme set the job, not to habit. Where the specification names a product, we use it; any alternative we suggest is put to you before anything changes. Joint widths, backing, primers and tooling follow the manufacturer’s guidance so the detail on the drawing is what ends up on site. Most enquiries involve a mastic package split between trades with no clear owner and early adhesion failures on new external joints, on internal decorators’ caulk, floor and skirting junctions and brick and block movement joints. Most enquiries from Hensting start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
In the countryside around places like Hensting, conversion schemes put new frames into old stone, flint, brick or timber. A product that grips an irregular face, with a colour that suits the building’s character, is normally what’s needed.
Every job is signed off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

Building owners, agents and FMs in Hensting
We take on planned maintenance as well as one-off repairs: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. Hensting can form part of a wider programme across Hampshire.
Facilities managers want contractors who arrive with the paperwork sorted. Let us know the documents you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
Why act early in Hensting
A quick bead over a damaged joint can get an area past inspection, but it rarely lasts. New sealant laid on old or dirty sealant has nothing to bond to. Damaged joints are removed and resealed from clean faces. Halls, stores and units around places like Hensting may not be checked every day, so a failed joint can leak for a while before anyone sees it. Renewing joints in good time avoids the problem.
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.
What you get with us
- Our applicators hold CSCS cards
- Failed material removed, not covered up
- Clear, fixed quotes
- Public liability insurance in place

From enquiry to sign-off
On arrival, we sign in, go through any site induction and check how permits are handled. Everything around the joints gets protected before anything is cut or cleaned, with the work itself usually taking a few days on a modest refurbishment and longer on multi-plot or multi-storey schemes. Smaller jobs around Hensting can be grouped with others nearby, which keeps travel down. You will have a fixed quote before work starts.
- First we take quantities off the drawings and read through the specification.
- A fixed quote sets out the scope, the products and the sequence.
- Any site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) is confirmed with the quote.
- We seal each plot or floor as it’s released to us.
- Each joint is prepared, backed to depth and sealed in the product the specification names.
- Snags are cleared before handover and completed areas carry our 12-month guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Make sure the joints can be reached

Other services in Hensting
Should maintenance staff do it?
There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
Different surfaces, different methods
Snagging before handover
Damaged, missed or untidy joints make up most snag lists. Snagging can be included or priced separately, depending on what suits the programme.
Internal decorators’ caulk
Caulk is easy to apply badly. A neat, consistent caulk line makes the decorators’ job quicker and keeps the snag list down.
How the quote is worked out
Before we quote, we look at:
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Which sealant the job calls for
- The site’s rules and procedures
Cost follows what’s involved: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a fixed quote and we will explain how it’s made up.
Details that help us quote
For an accurate fixed quote, we need a clear picture of the site. Useful things to include:
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- The site address and postcode
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
For a fixed quote, call 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos, telling us the site location and the nature of the job. You can also send details through our quote form.
Hensting: questions and answers
Is a smaller place like Hensting outside your area?
Not at all. Hensting is within our area. We work across Greater London and the South East. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Can you work around term dates at a campus such as University of Winchester?
Yes. We plan campus work around teaching, exams and residence turnarounds. Any paperwork you need, from RAMS to our insurance certificate and CSCS details, is confirmed with the quote.
Can you seal external joints in wet or cold weather?
External sealing goes ahead only with a dry joint inside the product’s temperature range. Wet or cold joints cause adhesion problems, so we wait rather than redo work.
Will you come and look before quoting?
That depends on the size and complexity of the job. Straightforward work can often be priced from photos and measurements, and bigger or more complex jobs usually get a visit.
Can you send site paperwork?
Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote.
What will the job cost?
There isn’t a price list, because every site is different. Send photos or drawings and we will price it at a fixed figure.
How do I request a quote?
The quote form is the simplest route, though you can also call the office on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email. Include photos or drawings if you have them.
Facades, frames and programmes in Hensting
Hensting is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. Still, external mastic needs dry faces within the maker’s temperature limits, which isn’t every day, so the external programme keeps a little slack. Hensting is about 62 miles from central London. Commuter-belt towns tend to see a steady flow of new flats, offices and commercial schemes, which keeps mastic packages in demand.
On a campus such as University of Winchester, 4.5 miles to the north of Hensting, new teaching buildings and residences are typically built and refurbished around the academic year. Hospital estates such as Wessex Hospital, 3 miles west of Hensting, 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. New units and refits on sites such as Wessex Business Park, 1 mile south-west of Hensting, need their panel and perimeter joints sealed to the specification.
Hensting is about 3 miles north-east of Eastleigh, in Hampshire. Anywhere in SO50, the process is the same: details in, fixed quote out, then sealing and a 12-month guarantee. Our Hampshire coverage takes in 723 places. Our Southampton page has more on work in that area.
