What affects the price in Hurstbourne Priors
A fixed quote reflects the actual work. It takes account of:
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Any access equipment needed
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Phasing around occupants
The specified product makes a difference, and so does the preparation, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.

However big the job, these details speed things up:
- Where the site is, with the postcode

- Your programme or deadline
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so the cost is agreed before work starts. To ask for one, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form.
Construction mastic in Hurstbourne Priors, done properly
External mastic depends on the weather in a way most internal trades don’t. Cold or damp mornings, frost and condensation on frames can all hold external sealing up so it helps to sequence elevations with some flexibility. Internal sealing often fills those days. We work on brick and block movement joints, internal decorators’ caulk and floor and skirting junctions, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are old sealant on a refurbishment that needs stripping before new work and mastic snags holding up handover. Searching for sealant specialists in Hurstbourne Priors? We’ve been sealing commercial buildings since 2005.
In the countryside around places like Hurstbourne Priors, 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.
We stand by our work: 12 months, guaranteed. That covers our preparation and application.

Contractors’ notes for Hurstbourne Priors
Hurstbourne Priors is about 59 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. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Even so, frost and condensation on steel and glass are common on winter mornings, so external mastic is timed for workable conditions and agreed with the site manager.
School extensions, at buildings such as Testbourne Community School, typically run to the summer holidays, mastic included. For a contractor working at a hospital such as Andover War Memorial Hospital (5.2 miles west of Hurstbourne Priors), perimeter and facade sealing is planned around patients and deliveries.
Hurstbourne Priors is about 5 miles east of Andover, in Hampshire.

When to call us in Hurstbourne Priors
A new building moves while it dries and settles. Materials lose construction moisture and shrink, which opens up internal joints, particularly where caulk has been used in a joint that moves. Picking a flexible sealant where there’s movement keeps snags down.
Typical triggers for a call:
- Internal caulk splitting as the building dries out
- Missed perimeter joints on a new elevation
- Oversized or tapered gaps around new frames
- Sanitary sealant damaged by following trades
Recladding or extending a unit at a site like Ardglen Industrial Estate, 2 miles to the north-east of Hurstbourne Priors, brings panel joints and frame perimeters into the programme.
What your quote should include
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
- The named product and why it was chosen
- How the existing material will be dealt with
- Who will actually carry out the work

What else we do in Hurstbourne Priors
What the job involves on each surface
Fire-rated sealant where specified
Fire-rated sealant is one type of fire-stopping product. Other products are used for some services and gaps. Record requirements are agreed with the quote.
Bathrooms, en suites and washrooms
In bathrooms and washrooms, an anti-mould sanitary silicone goes around every fitting. Joints are cleaned, sealed and tooled neatly, and any bath is loaded with water first where that’s the agreed method.
For managing agents and facilities managers
If you look after buildings for someone else, you need clear quotes and clear reporting. You get a fixed quote, an agreed scope and a walk round at the end.
Agents, factors and owners’ representatives all follow the same route: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed. Keys, access and contacts can be agreed in advance.
Common questions from Hurstbourne Priors clients
Is Hurstbourne Priors too far out for you?
No. Places such as Hurstbourne Priors are covered as much as the big towns. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Is a hospital such as Andover War Memorial Hospital somewhere you can work?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so it all comes out first.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
Outside, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Inside work is seldom held up.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
How do I request a quote?
There are four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. Step one needs little more than photographs and a postcode.
Can fire-rated sealing at service penetrations be included?
It can be part of the package where specified. Tell us what records you need and we will confirm with the quote.
Maintenance after handover
Once the work is signed off, these steps help:
- Keep scrapers and abrasive pads off new beads
- Stick to the specified sealant rather than a generic substitute
- Get the mastic subcontractor involved early in the programme
- Bring the mastic contractor in after the last trades are through
Tell the builders’ clean team which areas have new sealant. Scrapers used on frames and worktops can nick or lift a new bead so keep them off the joints.
Sealing outside when the joint is damp or too cold leads to poor adhesion. Holding off until conditions suit avoids callbacks.
On site: what to expect
A typical day starts with protection: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. The work itself typically takes a day or two on a small fit-out and several weeks on a large multi-storey package, and we clear our waste as we work. For a building around Hurstbourne Priors, tell us how to find it and who will meet us. Send that with the details and we’ll confirm the plan with the quote.
- First we take quantities off the drawings and read through the specification.
- You receive a fixed quote listing scope, products and phasing.
- 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.
