Construction mastic in Little Somborne, done properly
The specification and the programme set the job. If a product is named, that’s what goes in; any alternative we suggest is put to you before anything changes. Joint widths, backing, primers and tooling follow the manufacturer’s guidance, so the joints perform as the designer intended. The enquiries we see most involve new external sealant already peeling away and frame perimeters left unsealed or poorly sealed, across sanitary and kitchen joints, brick and block movement joints and floor and skirting junctions. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Little Somborne tend to want the same three things: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
In the countryside around places like Little Somborne, conversion schemes put new frames into old stone, flint, brick or timber. Those joints need a sealant that suits an uneven, sometimes porous surface, and often a colour chosen for the building.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: twelve months on the work we carried out. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we are upfront about that.

Building owners, agents and FMs in Little Somborne
FMs need a contractor who is easy to get on site. Let us know the documents you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
Building owners and managing agents use us on sealant work across single buildings or whole portfolios around Little Somborne. One quote can cover more than one site, which keeps the paperwork simple.
Your questions answered
Will you plan work around the academic year at somewhere like Sparsholt College Rifle Range?
Yes. Tell us the term dates, vacation periods and access windows, and we’ll plan the work around them. Any paperwork you need, from RAMS to our insurance certificate and CSCS details, is confirmed with the quote.
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Royal Hampshire County Hospital?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Will you come and look before quoting?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, drawings or a joint schedule. Where they aren’t, we arrange a site visit.
Is any job too small?
Small jobs are welcome alongside larger packages. Photos and a description are enough to start.
Can you send site paperwork?
Requirements differ from site to site, so list what you need, whether RAMS, insurance or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm with the quote.
How do you choose the sealant?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
Do you guarantee new-build sealant work?
Each package is backed by a 12-month guarantee. We carry five million pounds of public liability insurance.
Construction mastic around Little Somborne: how the place shapes the job
Rainfall across the South East, Little Somborne included, is lower than in many 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. Little Somborne is about 65 miles from central London. Construction around the commuter belt mixes station-side flats with refurbished offices and units, so mastic packages have to keep pace with busy programmes.
New units and refits on sites such as Balldown Business Centre (2.9 miles east of Little Somborne) need their panel and perimeter joints sealed to the specification. On a healthcare site such as Royal Hampshire County Hospital, which lies east of Little Somborne, new blocks and refurbishments go on while the hospital keeps running, so mastic work is sequenced carefully.
Little Somborne is about 6 miles west of Winchester, in Hampshire.

After the work
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Share these points with them:
- Protect sealed areas from following trades
- Note which sealant went where at handover
- Plan external elevations with the weather in mind
- Ask for joint and product checks before the package is urgent
Tell the builders’ clean team which areas have new sealant. Blades and abrasive pads are the commonest cause of damage at the final clean.
Snag items left to the last week put handover at risk. Clearing snags area by area spreads the work out and keeps handover on track.
When something else is needed
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It isn’t the answer for:
- Designing joint widths or choosing the specification (that sits with the designer)
- Frame gaps too wide for sealant, which the installer needs to correct
- Joints damaged after sign-off by following trades
If in doubt, phone 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will say what we think before you book.
What we seal
- Brick and block movement joints
- Floor and skirting junctions
- Sanitary and kitchen joints
- Internal decorators’ caulk
- Window and door perimeters
- Cladding and panel joints
How the quote is worked out
A fixed quote reflects the actual work. It allows for:
- Distance, for remote addresses
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Removal of failed or old sealant
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well.
What to include in your enquiry
It doesn’t need to be a full survey. These details are enough to start:
- Any dates the work must fit around
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
Need a figure for a tender or a budget? Send the scope and any drawings, and we will return a fixed quote that you can work with. If you have questions first, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.
What we’re called out for in Little Somborne
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.
Look out for the following:
- Missed perimeter joints on a new elevation
- Sealant knocked or painted over by other trades
- Internal caulk splitting as the building dries out
- Frame gaps too wide for sealant alone
Further education sites such as Sparsholt College Rifle Range (to the east of Little Somborne) are extended and refurbished from time to time, with mastic often programmed into the summer break.
