Do you need construction mastic in Old Basing?
Value-engineered products sometimes end up in the wrong joints. 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.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- Perimeter gaps outside the sealant’s range
- Window and door perimeters that won’t pass inspection
- Failed sealant in an existing building being refurbished
- Mastic snags holding up handover
Hotels like Hampshire Centre Court Hotel, 1.2 miles north-west of Old Basing, rarely close for long, so refurbishment mastic is phased floor by floor.

How we handle construction mastic in Old Basing
Getting a subcontractor through site induction should be simple. Our applicators are CSCS-carded, and we’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and we’re fully insured. RAMS, an insurance certificate and CSCS details can be confirmed with the quote if you tell us what you need. Site teams most often ask us about sealant knocked or painted over by other trades and window and door perimeters that won’t pass inspection, on floor and skirting junctions, cladding and panel joints and sanitary and kitchen joints. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: on jobs in Old Basing, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Building work in places the size of Old Basing is normally 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.

Leave it or put it right?
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. In a smaller place such as Old Basing, getting a contractor back for a second visit takes time, so we’d suggest renewing all the joints that are going, not just the worst.
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote and we’ll put a fixed figure on it.

Common questions from Old Basing clients
Is Old Basing off your patch?
Not at all. Old Basing is within our area. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Do you cover business parks and estates near Old Basing, such as Hatch Industrial Park?
Yes. We cover Old Basing and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Hatch Industrial Park. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Can weather delay the job?
For external joints, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Internal work is rarely affected.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
How long do sealant joints last?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and the certificate can go with your quote.
Is colour matching possible?
It depends on the product specified. Some ranges offer many colours, others very few, so we’ll confirm the colours available for the specified product with the quote.
Facades, frames and programmes in Old Basing
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Still, external mastic needs dry faces within the maker’s temperature limits, which isn’t every day, which is why external dates are agreed with the site manager. Several hotels sit less than 2 miles from Old Basing. Hotel refurbishments often run to tight programmes between busy periods, and perimeter and sanitary sealant has to keep up.
School extensions, at buildings such as Old Basing Infant School, usually run to the summer holidays, mastic included. On a healthcare site such as Basingstoke and North Hampshire Hospital, 3 miles to the west of Old Basing, new blocks and refurbishments go on while the hospital keeps running, so mastic work is sequenced carefully.
Old Basing is about 3 miles east of Basingstoke, in Hampshire.

Landmarks near Old Basing
We work on buildings around The Costello School, Eastrop Park and The Crown Public House. The nearest railway station is Basingstoke station, about 2 miles west. Other landmarks nearby include Festival Place (1.9 miles west) and Basing House (under half a mile west). Open spaces near Old Basing include Farleigh Hill and The Mill Field.
Aftercare for building managers
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. Specifically:
- Put any product change through the designer first
- Note which sealant went where at handover
- Allow flexibility for external sealing in damp or cold weather
- Don’t schedule sealing before decorators and flooring are done
If a joint is damaged after sealing, flag it early. Snags can be picked up in a planned close-out visit as agreed in the quote.
Sealing outside when the joint is damp or too cold leads to poor adhesion. Waiting for a dry joint and the right temperature is better than redoing work, so we plan external work with that in mind.

What else we do in Old Basing
For managing agents and facilities managers
Facilities managers want contractors who arrive with the paperwork sorted. Tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we will confirm with the quote.
We take on planned maintenance as well as one-off repairs: working through a building or an estate in stages that fit your budget. Old Basing can form part of a wider programme.
Doing it in-house
Certain joints really need a specialist: for example fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are where general trades tend to cut corners.
