Construction mastic for commercial buildings in Old Alresford
External mastic depends on the weather in a way most internal trades don’t. Cold or damp mornings, frost and condensation on frames can all hold external sealing up, so we plan elevations with the forecast and the programme in mind. Internal areas can usually carry on while the outside waits. We work on sanitary and kitchen joints, brick and block movement joints and floor and skirting junctions, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are frame gaps too wide for sealant alone and old sealant on a refurbishment that needs stripping before new work. Whoever orders the work in Old Alresford, the brief is typically the same: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
For a site near Old Alresford, the mastic visit is planned so the right sealants, primers and backing rod are on hand. Drawings, photos and the programme let us give a fixed quote.
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’re clear about what is covered before work starts.

How a job runs
Working in a building that stays open takes some planning. We sign and contain the area we are in, keep walkways clear and move on in phases so staff and visitors can carry on around us. Jobs in and around smaller places like Old Alresford are normally planned as a single visit, so we ask for photographs and rough sizes first. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- We walk the site or review drawings to understand the package.
- You receive a fixed quote covering scope, products and sequence.
- Paperwork is agreed and applicators are inducted on site.
- Sealing follows the programme as areas are released.
- Problems we find, such as oversized gaps, are raised straight away.
- The package is closed out, snags cleared and backed by our 12-month guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Tell staff and tenants when we’ll be in

What happens if it’s left?
Getting the mastic contractor involved early pays off. Early involvement means gaps, products and access are sorted before the programme bites. Called in at the end, the same issues surface during handover. Around Old Alresford, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits, along with the time of year for external work.
What you get with us
- Constructionline member for supplier checks
- RAL and finish matching where the product range allows
- Joints cleaned back to sound surfaces
- Workmanship guaranteed for 12 months

What sets the cost
Quotes vary with the job. Expect it to depend on:
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Any access equipment needed
- Travel to remote or island sites
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
A quote for mastic packages depends on how many there are, their condition and the access. Call for a quote.
Before you send an enquiry
For an accurate fixed quote, we need a clear picture of the site. Send us:
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- The type of building and who uses it
- Access details, including height
Quotes are fixed against the scope you send, so the cost is agreed before work starts. To ask for one, ring 01277 525 020 or email the details over.
Your questions answered
What documents will you need to give us for a job in Old Alresford?
Whatever your site asks for, from RAMS to CSCS details, is confirmed when we quote. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, with £5m public liability insurance and CSCS-carded applicators.
Is Old Alresford off your patch?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
How many days will you need on site?
That varies with the scale of the job, but the work typically takes whatever the programme allows, since the work follows the trades as areas are released. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we’ll give you a timescale with the quote.
How do you work with the site programme?
We work to your programme. Share the release dates and we’ll match our work to them.
Which sealant will you use?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
Can the sealant be colour-matched?
That depends on the product specified. Some ranges are wide, others limited, so the available colours are confirmed with the quote.
What joints do you seal on a new build?
Window and door perimeters, internal decorators’ caulk where specified, sanitary joints, kitchens, movement joints and snagging. The scope follows your specification.

Keeping the joints sound
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. Our advice:
- Ask for joint and product checks before the package is urgent
- Protect sealed areas from following trades
- Note which sealant went where at handover
- Keep scrapers and abrasive pads off new beads
The package carries our 12-month guarantee for workmanship. Damage by others isn’t a workmanship fault, so protecting sealed areas matters.
Frames with gaps too wide for sealant need sorting before the mastic goes on. Sealant stretched over an oversized gap won’t last, so the installer needs to correct it first. We flag them as soon as we see them.
Sites and facades in and around Old Alresford
Old Alresford has a number of hotels close by, all within 2 miles. Hotel schemes tend to have fixed reopening dates, so the mastic is programmed tightly with the other trades. Central London is about 54 miles from Old Alresford. Towns within reach of London tend to keep building, from flats to offices and schools, and each scheme needs its mastic sealed to programme.
With historic properties like Hinton Ampner House, 4.1 miles south of Old Alresford, in the area, refurbishment work often meets old masonry that needs compatible sealants. When a school such as Perins School is extended or refurbished, the mastic package is often squeezed into the holidays.
Old Alresford is about 7 miles north-east of Winchester, in Hampshire. Across the SO24 postcode area, the process is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed.

In Old Alresford, that means premises near The Globe Inn and the streets around them. A little further out are Barton Castle (3.1 miles north-east).
Should maintenance staff do it?
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class, which is what makes a joint last.
The visible bead is only part of the job. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are easy to get wrong without experience.
Common problems we fix in Old Alresford
Swapping the specified sealant for a cheaper general-purpose product is a common cause of failure. A general-purpose silicone on a facade or a caulk in a wet area won’t perform like the specified product. We stick to the specified product, or put any alternative to you first.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Inconsistent sealant finishes from plot to plot
- A long mastic snag list close to completion
- Bath and shower joints scraped during the final clean
- Cracks opening in caulked internal joints
Hotel extensions and refits, at places such as Bell Hotel (0.9 miles south of Old Alresford), typically run between busy periods, so the sealing is squeezed into short windows.
