Construction mastic in Lychpit
Mastic is often where a new building first shows its quality to the client. A smeared bead round a window or a gap behind a worktop ends up on the snag list and clearing them late eats into the handover window. We seal so the snag list stays short, area by area through the programme. Site teams most often ask us about a mastic package split between trades with no clear owner and a long mastic snag list close to completion, across cladding and panel joints, sanitary and kitchen joints and internal decorators’ caulk. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, the work in Lychpit is the same: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Construction in and around smaller places such as Lychpit is often barn conversions, small groups of houses or extensions to halls and schools. Perimeters, facade joints and internal sealant all need doing properly, however small the scheme.
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.

Looking after the joints
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Ask cleaners to use soft cloths around fresh sealant
- Note which sealant went where at handover
- Protect sealed areas from following trades
- Check frame gaps are within the sealant’s range before sealing
After we have sealed an area, it helps to keep other trades from damaging the joints. New beads should be left to cure before cleaning or decorating nearby.
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.
Questions about Lychpit
Can you work around term dates at a campus such as Queen Mary's College?
Yes. Tell us the term dates, vacation periods and access windows, and we will plan the work around them. Tell us which site documents you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate or CSCS details, and they’re confirmed with the quote.
Is Lychpit off your patch?
Not at all. Lychpit is within our area. London and every South East county are within our area. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
How long does a job like this take?
The duration is planned around your programme and the access we are given. You will have an expected duration with the quote.
What accreditations do you hold?
We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and our applicators hold CSCS cards. We confirm any paperwork you need with the quote.
How do I request a quote?
There are four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. The first step only needs photographs and a postcode.
Can fire-rated sealing at service penetrations be included?
Fire-rated sealing at service penetrations and linear gaps can be included where specified. Tell us what records you need and we’ll confirm with the quote.
Can you fit around our programme?
We follow the trades through the building. Areas are sealed as they’re released by the site team and we tell you if something stops an area being sealed.
What the job involves on each surface
Snagging before handover
Snags usually come from damage by following trades, missed joints or poor earlier work. Snagging can be included or priced separately.
Kitchens and utility areas
On commercial kitchen fit-outs, hygienic sealants are often specified. We follow the specification and seal to a smooth, cleanable finish.
Do you need construction mastic in Lychpit?
Frames installed with uneven gaps make perimeter sealing harder. Every product has limits on how wide a joint it can bridge, so gaps outside that range need sorting by the installer first. Better to raise it at the start than seal a joint that’s bound to fail.
Look out for the following:
- Existing joints on a refurb that need cutting out and resealing
- External joints sealed in damp or cold conditions that are now failing
- Perimeter gaps outside the sealant’s range
- Inconsistent sealant finishes from plot to plot
Hospital estates such as Basingstoke and North Hampshire Hospital, 2.6 miles west of Lychpit, 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.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
- What site paperwork they can supply
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
What sealant work can’t fix
A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. We will tell you if the real problem is one of these:
- Frames fitted out of tolerance
- Defective windows, doors or glazing units (the supplier or installer’s job)
- Joints damaged after sign-off by following trades
If you’re not sure, just speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

From enquiry to sign-off
We bring the products specified for the job, along with primers and backing rod. Any old material is cut back to clean, sound faces, the manufacturer’s primer is applied where it’s called for, and each bead is tooled to a neat concave finish. Rural sites near Lychpit may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Send that with the details and we will confirm the plan with the quote.
- First we take quantities off the drawings and read through the specification.
- We return a fixed quote that ties the mastic package to your programme.
- Any site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) is confirmed with the quote.
- Work follows the programme, area by area, as rooms and elevations become ready.
- Every joint is prepared, set to depth and sealed with the specified product.
- We close out snagging and hand over with a 12-month guarantee.
What we need from you
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- Have the specification and drawings to hand

Mastic packages on Lychpit sites
Lychpit is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. Even so, frost and condensation on steel and glass are common on winter mornings, so we time external mastic for dry faces and agree it with the site team. A 2-mile radius around Lychpit takes in several hotels. Hotel extensions and refits usually have to fit around bookings, so mastic dates are tight.
Recladding or extending a unit at a site like Daneshill East Industrial Estate (to the west of Lychpit) brings panel joints and frame perimeters into the programme. Projects at schools like Old Basing Infant School work to term dates, so mastic is programmed tightly.
