How we handle construction mastic in Kimpton
On a new build, the mastic package is one of the last trades through each area, which puts it right on the critical path. We work as a mastic subcontractor to main contractors and developers with projects in Kimpton, sealing plot by plot or floor by floor as areas are released. If you have sanitary sealant damaged by following trades and old sealant on a refurbishment that needs stripping before new work, we can help. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, in Kimpton it comes down to the same thing: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Around smaller places like Kimpton, building work normally means conversions of farm buildings, a few new houses or an extension to a hall or school. Each still needs a proper mastic package: window perimeters, facade joints and internal sealant to the specification.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

Contractors’ notes for Kimpton
Rainfall across the South East, Kimpton included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Even so, frost and condensation on steel and glass are common on winter mornings, which is why external dates are agreed with the site manager. At about 68 miles from central London, Kimpton is within reach of the capital. Construction around the commuter belt mixes station-side flats with refurbished offices and units, and each scheme needs its mastic sealed to programme.
For contractors refurbishing units at places like Weyhill Business Park (1.6 miles east of Kimpton), the mastic covers cladding panels, roller-door and window perimeters.
Kimpton is about 5 miles west of Andover, in Hampshire. Our applicators travel to Kimpton for work on mastic packages. Our Hampshire coverage takes in 723 places. For work in that direction, see our Southampton page (23 miles or so).
Commercial sites across SP11 are covered for mastic packages. Streets here include Cow Lane, Deacon Road and Down Road, and sites on any of them can send details for a fixed quote. If your building is just outside Kimpton, we cover Great Shoddesden (1 mile north), Perham Down (2 miles north-west), Ludgershall (2 miles north-west), Tidworth (3 miles west) and Shipton Bellinger (3 miles west).

Different surfaces, different methods
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.
Kitchens and utility areas
On commercial kitchen fit-outs, hygienic sealants are often specified. Joints are sealed smooth so they’re easy to clean.
Doing it in-house
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint.
Paperwork matters too. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we’ll confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
What we can’t put right
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- Defective windows, doors or glazing units (the supplier or installer’s job)
- Joint design decisions that belong to the architect or engineer
- Damage to finishes by other trades after we’ve sealed
If in doubt, ring 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will say what we think.
What we seal
- Sanitary and kitchen joints
- Brick and block movement joints
- Window and door perimeters
- Internal decorators’ caulk
- Cladding and panel joints
- Floor and skirting junctions
Looking after the joints
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Pass these on to them:
- Ask installers to correct oversized gaps first
- Keep product details for future maintenance
- Get the mastic subcontractor involved early in the programme
- Ask cleaners to use soft cloths around fresh sealant
The package carries our 12-month guarantee for workmanship. Damage by others isn’t a workmanship fault.
Sanitary joints that fail early become defects soon after occupation. Leaks behind showers and basins damage finishes and floors. Getting the product and preparation right first time avoids that.

Advice
Your questions answered
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Andover War Memorial Hospital?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Is a smaller place like Kimpton outside your area?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Can you clear a mastic snag list before handover?
Yes. Damaged, missed or untidy joints are stripped and done again properly, working to your handover date.
Can the sealant be colour-matched?
It depends on the product specified. Some ranges are wide, others limited, so the available colours are confirmed with the quote.
Will you quote for a small job?
Whatever the size, the process is the same: details, then a fixed price, then sealing, then a 12-month guarantee.
What site paperwork can you supply?
Requirements differ from site to site, so tell us what you need and we will confirm it when we quote.
Can you work to our specification?
The specified product is what goes in. If we think an alternative would suit better, we put it to you first.
Do you need construction mastic in Kimpton?
On construction sites, joints normally fail early because of when they were sealed, not what was used. Sealing before decorators, flooring or other trades have finished leaves joints exposed to damage.
Things that typically lead to an enquiry:
- External joints sealed in damp or cold conditions that are now failing
- Failed sealant in an existing building being refurbished
- Snag items on joints that need redoing before handover
- A mastic package split between trades with no clear owner
On a healthcare site such as Andover War Memorial Hospital, which lies east of Kimpton, new blocks and refurbishments go on while the hospital keeps running, so mastic work is sequenced carefully.
