Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Redoing a failed joint normally costs more than getting it right at the outset, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
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.
Construction mastic in Penton Grafton
Refurbishment work needs a slightly different approach from new build. Existing joints have to be stripped back to sound faces, because fresh sealant can’t key into cured silicone and the asbestos survey is checked first on older stock. After that, the joints are prepared and sealed to the specification. We work on sanitary and kitchen joints, floor and skirting junctions and internal decorators’ caulk, and what we’re called in for most is new external sealant already peeling away and perimeter gaps outside the sealant’s range. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, in Penton Grafton it comes down to the same thing: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Around smaller places like Penton Grafton, building work typically means conversions of farm buildings, a few new houses or an extension to a hall or school. Each still needs a proper mastic package: window perimeters, facade joints and internal sealant to the specification.
Every job is signed off with a 12-month guarantee. The promise is simple: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

Facades, frames and programmes in Penton Grafton
Penton Grafton is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. Still, external mastic needs dry faces within the maker’s temperature limits, which isn’t every day, so external mastic is timed for workable conditions and agreed with the site manager. Penton Grafton is about 65 miles from central London. Building activity in the commuter belt runs from new flats near stations to business park refurbishments, so mastic packages have to keep pace with busy programmes.
Units on estates such as Plot 2 Andover Business Park, 1 mile south of Penton Grafton, tend to be reclad and refitted as tenants change, and each job leaves cladding and perimeter joints to seal. Projects at colleges like Andover College, 2.3 miles south-east of Penton Grafton, tend to run to term dates, so the mastic is planned tightly. Hospital estates such as Andover War Memorial Hospital (1.7 miles east of Penton Grafton) 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.

Looking after the joints
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. We suggest:
- Put any product change through the designer first
- Ask cleaners to use soft cloths around fresh sealant
- Record the products used in the O&M file
- Protect sealed areas from following trades
The package carries our 12-month guarantee for workmanship. Damage by others isn’t a workmanship fault which is why protection after sealing matters.
One unsealed frame can let water into finished internal areas. On a new building that means remedial work after decorating, and a delay to handover. Checking perimeters before internal finishes go on avoids it.
Honest limits
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- Joint design decisions that belong to the architect or engineer
- Rework caused by others damaging completed areas
- Frames fitted out of tolerance
If in doubt, call 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we will say what we think before you book.

What else we do in Penton Grafton
Your questions answered
Can work at a site such as Andover College fit around teaching?
Yes. Tell us the term dates, vacation periods and access windows, and we will plan the work around them. Any paperwork you need, from RAMS to our insurance certificate and CSCS details, is confirmed with the quote.
Is Plot 2 Andover Business Park, near Penton Grafton, within your area?

Can you clear a mastic snag list before handover?
Yes. We clear snags by redoing joints rather than patching them.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
Some older mastics, especially in pre-2000 buildings, can contain asbestos. Before we disturb old sealant in an older building, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey, and if asbestos is suspected, work stops until it’s tested. Removing asbestos is a job for asbestos specialists, not us.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and our applicators hold CSCS cards. We are fully insured for public liability.
Can you work to our specification?
The specified product is what goes in. Any suggested alternative is put to you before anything changes.
