Construction mastic for commercial buildings in Ludgershall
On refurbishments, the mastic package typically includes cutting out old sealant as well as sealing new work. Existing joints have to be stripped back to sound faces, because fresh sealant can’t key into cured silicone and the asbestos survey is checked first on older stock. New and existing joints then get the same preparation. The enquiries we see most involve sealant knocked or painted over by other trades and internal caulk splitting as the building dries out, across brick and block movement joints, floor and skirting junctions and window and door perimeters. Searching for sealant specialists in Ludgershall? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005.
Conversions around smaller places like Ludgershall often join new frames to old masonry or timber, which leaves joints between old walls and new frames that need a sealant able to take the movement, in a colour the planners or architect are happy with.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

Mastic packages on Ludgershall sites
Ludgershall sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Even so, frost and condensation on steel and glass are common on winter mornings, so the external programme keeps a little slack. Ludgershall is about 68 miles from central London. Construction around the commuter belt mixes station-side flats with refurbished offices and units, which keeps mastic packages in demand.
Hotel extensions and refits, at places such as Prince of Wales Hotel, under half a mile to the north-east of Ludgershall, usually run between busy periods, so the sealing is squeezed into short windows. When a school such as Ludgershall Castle Primary School is extended or refurbished, the mastic package is often squeezed into the holidays.
Ludgershall is about 7 miles north-west of Andover, in Hampshire. Businesses, contractors and managing agents in Ludgershall can call on us for mastic packages, as part of our coverage of Hampshire. 723 places across Hampshire fall within our area, Ludgershall among them. For work in that direction, see our Southampton page (25 miles or so).

What happens if it’s left?
A cheaper sealant can look like an easy saving on a large package. A failed joint in the defects period costs far more than the product difference. Where an alternative is genuinely suitable, we will say so. Sealant hardens, cracks and loses grip with age, UV and movement. Replacing it before it fails keeps water out.
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote, and you will have a fixed figure to work with.

How a job runs
On arrival, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before anything is cut or cleaned, and the work usually takes as long as the agreed sequence needs, which comes down to joint lengths, access and handover dates. Work in places the size of Ludgershall is planned as a single visit where we can. Photos with rough sizes let us arrive with everything needed.
- We walk the site or review drawings to understand the package.
- A fixed quote sets out scope, products and phasing.
- Paperwork is agreed and applicators are inducted on site.
- Sealing follows the programme as areas are released.
- Any frame gaps or issues outside our scope are flagged to the site team.
- The package is closed out, snags cleared and backed by our 12-month guarantee.
Getting the site ready
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Agree which areas must stay open

Does your area include sites such as Ludgershall Business Park, near Ludgershall?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Ludgershall, Ludgershall Business Park among them, are all within reach. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
What will the job cost?

Can you work while the building is occupied?

How do I request a quote?
It works in four steps: send details, receive a fixed quote, we carry out the work, and it’s guaranteed. Step one needs little more than photographs and a postcode.
What hours do you work?
Give us your site hours and any access windows in your enquiry, and we will plan around them. Our office runs Monday to Friday, 8am until 5pm.
Looking after the joints
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Brief following trades on areas that have been sealed
- Bring the mastic contractor in after the last trades are through
- Use the product the specification names
- Don’t force external sealing on a damp or frosty day
Record which products went where in the handover file. That helps the building owner maintain the joints later, and tells you what to reseal with. We can confirm the handover information you need when we quote.
Oversized gaps are a problem better caught early. Filling a wide gap with sealant alone sets up a failure, so the installer needs to correct it first. We raise them during our first walk of the area.
What sealant work can’t fix
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Designing joint widths or choosing the specification (that sits with the designer)
- Oversized gaps that need packing or adjustment by others
- Defective windows, doors or glazing units (the supplier or installer’s job)
Not sure which it is? You can ring 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will tell you honestly.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Window and door perimeters
- Brick and block movement joints
- Internal decorators’ caulk
- Sanitary and kitchen joints
- Floor and skirting junctions
- Cladding and panel joints
Signs you need construction mastic in Ludgershall
Dust is the enemy of adhesion on a construction site. Dust, film adhesive, damp and grease on the joint faces prevent a proper bond so faces get cleaned, and primer goes on wherever the maker specifies, even on new work.
Most enquiries start with something like this:
- Bath and shower joints scraped during the final clean
- Snag items on joints that need redoing before handover
- Early adhesion failures on new external joints
- Window and door perimeters that won’t pass inspection
Units on estates such as Ludgershall Business Park (under half a mile south-west of Ludgershall) tend to be reclad and refitted as tenants change, and each job leaves cladding and perimeter joints to seal.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
- The terms of the workmanship guarantee
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
