How we handle construction mastic in Lowford
We work to the specification and the programme, not to habit. Where the specification names a product, we use it, and if an alternative is proposed, it goes to you for acceptance first. Backing, primer and depth follow what the sealant maker sets out, so the joints perform as the designer intended. We work on floor and skirting junctions, window and door perimeters and cladding and panel joints, and the failures we are asked to look at most are snag items on joints that need redoing before handover and caulk cracking where joints are moving more than expected. Most enquiries from Lowford start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
For a contractor on a smaller site near Lowford, one mastic visit at the right stage saves return trips. Tell us when scaffold comes down and when decoration finishes, and we’ll plan around those stages.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

For managing agents and facilities managers
For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor on new-build and refurbishment projects. We work to your programme, your specification and your site rules, with CSCS-carded applicators on site.
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.
From enquiry to sign-off
We begin with a short walk round with whoever looks after the building, to confirm the scope, the order of work and any areas we must keep clear. Then we strip out anything that has failed, prepare every joint and seal it. For a site in Lowford, we plan so the whole job is done in one go where possible. Photos with rough sizes let us arrive with everything needed.
- We start with the drawings, specification and programme.
- We take off quantities and return a fixed quote.
- We agree with the site team which areas come first.
- Each area is sealed when it’s released.
- Joints are prepared, backed and sealed to the specification.
- Snags are cleared and the package signed off with our 12-month guarantee.
What we need from you
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Move anything stored against the joints
Quotes
Send us photographs, drawings or a joint schedule and a fixed quote comes back to you. Where a site visit makes more sense, we will arrange one.
Advice
What happens if it’s left?
Leaving mastic to whichever trade is fitting the element can look cheaper on paper. In practice it often means different standards, gaps in responsibility and snags nobody owns. A single mastic package gives one point of responsibility, with the same standard on every plot. A failed joint lets water into a building whatever its size. Early resealing avoids the damage that follows a leak.
No two sites price the same: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.

When it isn’t the sealant
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Glazing units that are cracked or misted
- Damage to finishes by other trades after we’ve sealed
- Approving fire stopping as compliant
Not sure which it is? You can ring 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Your questions answered
Can work at a site such as Solent University fit around teaching?
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.
Can you work on a hospital site such as Moorgreen Hospital?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
What site paperwork can you supply?
Let us know which documents the site needs, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
How do I request a quote?
It works in four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. Step one needs little more than photographs and a postcode.
Will you come and look before quoting?
It depends on the job. Simple work can often be priced from photos, while larger or less clear jobs get a site visit first.
How much does the work cost?
Every job gets its own fixed quote. For yours, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos with a description of the work.
Do you take on multi-site work?
Yes. Several buildings can share a single quote, with one point of contact.
Construction mastic in Lowford: the local picture
The sea is no more than about 2 miles from Lowford. Facades and window perimeters on coastal schemes take more wind-driven rain, and salt air nearer the shore, and the sealant, primer and backing need choosing with that in mind. Central London is about 68 miles from Lowford. Building activity in the commuter belt runs from new flats near stations to business park refurbishments, and each scheme needs its mastic sealed to programme.
On a campus such as Solent University, which lies west of Lowford, new teaching buildings and residences are normally built and refurbished around the academic year. When a college such as Itchen College (to the north-west of Lowford) builds or refurbishes, the mastic package typically has to fit around students and staff. Hospital estates such as Moorgreen Hospital (2.5 miles north of Lowford) 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.

What the job involves on each surface
Kitchens and utility areas
On commercial kitchen fit-outs, hygienic sealants are often specified. Joints are sealed smooth so they’re easy to clean.
External facade and movement joints
External movement joints often need primer, depending on the substrate. Primer goes on where the sealant maker calls for it.
Keeping the joints sound
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. We suggest:
- Ask installers to correct oversized gaps first
- Stick to the specified sealant rather than a generic substitute
- Note which sealant went where at handover
- Share drawings and the specification as soon as possible
At handover, keep the product details with the O&M information. That helps the building owner maintain the joints later, and tells you what to reseal with. Tell us what records you need and we’ll confirm with the quote.
In wet areas, a weak sanitary joint shows up quickly once the building is occupied. Water gets behind trays, vanity tops and panels. Proper preparation, with the right silicone first time, keeps it off the defects list.
