About our construction mastic in Lyndhurst
On refurbishments, the mastic package normally includes cutting out old sealant as well as sealing new work. Old beads come out completely, as fresh silicone can’t grip old, and on older buildings we ask for the asbestos survey before disturbing anything. New and existing joints then get the same preparation. We work on sanitary and kitchen joints, window and door perimeters and cladding and panel joints, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are a mastic package split between trades with no clear owner and sanitary sealant damaged by following trades. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, the work in Lyndhurst is the same: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Building work in places the size of Lyndhurst is usually small-scale: a handful of new houses, barn conversions, a school or hall extension. Even a small site needs its perimeter and facade joints sized, backed and sealed properly.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: preparation, application and finish. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

How the job changes by surface
Internal decorators’ caulk
Acrylic caulk fills internal gaps around trims, boards and frames ahead of decorating. It’s paintable and suits gaps that don’t move, and we use a flexible sealant where there’s movement.
Fire-rated sealant where specified
Not every penetration suits a sealant. Collars, wraps, batts and boards are specified for other services. Tell us what records you need and we’ll confirm with the quote.
Keeping the joints sound
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. In particular:
- Keep finished joints away from paint, plaster and scrapers
- Note which sealant went where at handover
- Share drawings and the specification as soon as possible
- Ask installers to correct oversized gaps first
After we’ve 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; we confirm the time for each product.
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.
Cost factors for mastic packages
We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- How much existing material needs removing
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Travel to remote or island sites
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well, along with the time of year for external work.
What we need to price the job
Good information means a firmer quote. Helpful details to send:
- The type of building and who uses it
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- When you need the work done
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
Pricing a project or setting a maintenance budget? We’ll quote against your scope and drawings that you can work with. For a chat about it beforehand, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.
Common problems we fix in Lyndhurst
Three-sided adhesion is a frequent fault on new work. Bonded to the base of the joint and both sides, sealant can’t stretch evenly.
Clients usually get in touch after noticing one or more of the following:
- Early adhesion failures on new external joints
- Frame gaps too wide for sealant alone
- Sanitary sealant damaged by following trades
- Old sealant on a refurbishment that needs stripping before new work
Work at a hotel such as The Penny Farthing Hotel, less than half a mile to the north of Lyndhurst, tends to be programmed around bookings, mastic included.
Before you book anyone

- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid

- How they’ll work around occupants
From enquiry to sign-off
At the end of each section, the masking comes off, the area is cleaned and every joint is checked, ready for your sign-off. Where the sealant needs time to cure before use, we tell you and sign the area. Work in places the size of Lyndhurst is planned as a single visit where we can. Photos with rough sizes let us arrive with everything needed.
- First we take quantities off the drawings and read through the specification.
- A fixed quote sets out the scope, the products and the sequence.
- 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.
- Each joint is prepared, backed to depth and sealed in the product the specification names.
- Before handover, snags are dealt with and the package is signed off under our 12-month guarantee.
Getting the site ready
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements

What we can’t put right
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Faulty frames rather than failed sealant
- Specifying the product where the designer hasn’t
- Deciding which fire-stopping product a penetration needs
Not sure which it is? You can phone 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Window and door perimeters
- Cladding and panel joints
- Brick and block movement joints
- Floor and skirting junctions
- Sanitary and kitchen joints
- Internal decorators’ caulk
Sites and facades in and around Lyndhurst
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Winter mornings still bring frost and condensation on frames and panels, which is why external dates are agreed with the site manager. There are a number of hotels within about 2 miles of Lyndhurst. Hotel extensions and refits typically have to fit around bookings, so mastic dates are tight.
On a healthcare site such as Ashurst Hospital, 2.6 miles to the north-east of Lyndhurst, new blocks and refurbishments go on while the hospital keeps running, so mastic work is sequenced carefully. When a school such as St Michael and All Angels CofE Infant School is extended or refurbished, the mastic package is often squeezed into the holidays.

Questions about Lyndhurst
Can you work on a hospital site such as Ashurst Hospital?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Is Lyndhurst too small for you to travel to?
No. Places such as Lyndhurst are covered as much as the big towns. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Can you fit around our working hours?
We’re in the office from 8am until 5pm, Monday to Friday. Tell us your site hours and access windows and the work will be fitted around them.
Do you take on mastic snagging only?
Yes. We can work through a mastic snag list area by area before handover and damaged joints are redone properly.
How long does a typical visit take?
That varies with the scale of the job, but the work typically takes anything from a day of snagging to several weeks of plot-by-plot sealing on a phased scheme. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we’ll give you a timescale with the quote.
When can the area be used after sealing?
That comes down to the sealant and the temperature. Some products skin over quickly but need longer to cure fully, and we confirm it before leaving site.
Can fire-rated sealing at service penetrations be included?
We install fire-rated sealant where it is the specified product, working to the specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance. If the detail calls for collars, wraps or batts instead, we will tell you.
