Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
When to call us in Oliver's Battery
Frames installed with uneven gaps make perimeter sealing harder. Sealant has a range of joint widths it can cope with. We flag them early rather than filling them with sealant that won’t last.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Sanitary sealant damaged by following trades
- Internal caulk splitting as the building dries out
- Oversized or tapered gaps around new frames
- Snag items on joints that need redoing before handover
On a campus such as University of Winchester, 1.5 miles north-east of Oliver's Battery, new teaching buildings and residences are normally built and refurbished around the academic year.
Questions to ask before you book
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
- Who will actually carry out the work
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
Construction mastic for commercial buildings in Oliver's Battery
We work to the specification and the programme rather than whatever product is to hand. If a product is named, that’s what goes in, and if an alternative is proposed, it goes to you for acceptance first. Joint widths, backing, primers and tooling follow the manufacturer’s guidance so the detail on the drawing is what ends up on site. If you have missed perimeter joints on a new elevation and snag items on joints that need redoing before handover, we can put it right, on cladding and panel joints, brick and block movement joints and floor and skirting junctions alike. Whoever orders the work in Oliver's Battery, the brief is normally the same: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
Conversions of older rural buildings near smaller places such as Oliver's Battery bring stone, flint, brick and timber up against new glazing. Those joints need a sealant that suits an uneven, sometimes porous surface, and often a colour chosen for the building.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

Why deal with it now?
Clearing snags piecemeal is tempting when handover is close. A planned sweep of each plot or floor catches the lot in one go, and avoids repeated visits. We can run snagging as its own phase before handover. Older rural buildings around Oliver's Battery move with the seasons, and rigid or tired sealant can’t keep up. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.
The specified product makes a difference, as does the preparation each joint needs. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
What you get with us
- Coloured sealants to suit the setting, where available
- CHAS accredited contractor
- RAL and finish matching where the product range allows
- Sealing commercial buildings since 2005

When to bring in a specialist
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint.
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. The usual problems come from preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
From enquiry to sign-off
We follow your site rules from the start: signing in, inductions and any permit to work. With the paperwork done, we take the joints in the sequence agreed with you, and each area is checked before we leave it. For work around Oliver's Battery, we aim to finish in one visit, so we ask for photographs and rough sizes first. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- We price from the drawings, specification and programme you send.
- You receive a fixed quote listing scope, products and phasing.
- Any site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) is confirmed with the quote.
- We seal each plot or floor as it’s released to us.
- Joints are cleaned, primed where the maker requires it, backed and sealed to the specification.
- We close out snagging and hand over with a 12-month guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints

Questions about Oliver's Battery
Will you plan work around the academic year at somewhere like University of Winchester?
Yes. Tell us the term dates, vacation periods and access windows, and we’ll plan the work around them. Any paperwork you need, from RAMS to our insurance certificate and CSCS details, is confirmed with the quote.
Can you work at a site such as Bar End Industrial Estate, by Oliver's Battery?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Oliver's Battery, Bar End Industrial Estate among them, are all within reach. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.
Do you take on small jobs?
Single areas, one-off repairs and whole buildings are all quoted the same way: details, then a fixed price, then sealing, then a 12-month guarantee.
Do you need to see the site first?
That depends on the size and complexity of the job. Simple work can often be priced from photographs, and bigger or more complex jobs typically get a visit.
What does a mastic package usually include?
External perimeters and movement joints, internal caulking where specified, sanitary and kitchen joints, plus snagging in one fixed quote.
Do you take on multi-site work?
Yes. Several buildings can share a single quote, and you deal with one contact throughout across South East England, Greater London and Scotland.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No, never. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so it all comes out first.
Cost factors for mastic packages
These are the things that shape the price:
- How accessible the joints are
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- The product specified
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
Every site prices differently: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.
What we need to price the job
There’s no need for a formal survey. A few details are enough to get going:
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- The type of building and who uses it
- Clear photographs of the problem areas
- The postcode of the building
Quotes are fixed against the scope you send, so you know the figure before anyone is on site. To ask for one, ring 01277 525 020 or email us.
How the job changes by surface
External facade and movement joints
External movement joints often need primer, depending on the substrate. Primer goes on where the sealant maker calls for it and work only when conditions suit.
Snagging before handover
The last pass before handover is where mastic snags are cleared. Snags are cleared room by room and damaged joints are redone rather than patched.
