Construction mastic in Priddy's Hard, done properly
Refurbishment work needs a slightly different approach from new build. Old beads come out completely, as fresh silicone can’t grip old. New and existing joints then get the same preparation. Most enquiries involve inconsistent sealant finishes from plot to plot and a long mastic snag list close to completion, across brick and block movement joints, window and door perimeters and sanitary and kitchen joints. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, in Priddy's Hard it comes down to the same thing: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Conversions of older rural buildings near smaller places such as Priddy's Hard bring stone, flint, brick and timber up against new glazing. A product that grips an irregular face, with a colour that suits the building’s character, is typically what’s needed.
We stand behind the joints we seal: 12 months, guaranteed. That covers our preparation and application, and we come back if anything isn’t right.

What sealant work can’t fix
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It isn’t the answer for:
- Specifying the product where the designer hasn’t
- Rework caused by others damaging completed areas
- Deciding which fire-stopping product a penetration needs
If you are not sure, just speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Floor and skirting junctions
- Brick and block movement joints
- Sanitary and kitchen joints
- Internal decorators’ caulk
- Window and door perimeters
- Cladding and panel joints
Different surfaces, different methods
External facade and movement joints
External movement joints often need primer, depending on the substrate. We prime where the manufacturer specifies, and seal only with a dry joint inside the product’s temperature range.
Fire-rated sealant where specified
Fire-rated sealant is one type of fire-stopping product. Other products are used for some services and gaps. Tell us what records you need and we will confirm with the quote.
Questions we are asked in Priddy's Hard
Does a coastal location like Priddy's Hard affect which sealant is used?
It can. Driven rain and salt are tougher on outside sealant than sheltered inland conditions. We choose the product for the exposure, prime where the manufacturer requires it and size the joint for its movement.
Does your area include sites such as Cranbourne Industrial Estate, near Priddy's Hard?
Yes, sites like Cranbourne Industrial Estate are within our area, along with the rest of Priddy's Hard. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Is any job too small?
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.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
Managing asbestos is the dutyholder’s responsibility, so we will ask for the register before work on an older building. Work pauses if suspect material is found, until it has been tested.
Do you do internal caulk as well as external mastic?
External perimeters and movement joints, internal caulking where specified, sanitary and kitchen joints, plus snagging.
Do you offer coloured sealant?
In many cases, yes. Many products come in a range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or surrounding finishes is often possible. We will confirm the colours available for the specified product.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so it all comes out first.
Should maintenance staff do it?
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but larger jobs are different: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are easy to get wrong without experience.
How a job runs
The first thing on site is a walk round with your contact, agreeing which joints are in scope, where to start and what must stay open. Then we strip out anything that has failed, prepare every joint and seal it. Jobs in and around smaller places like Priddy's Hard are typically planned as a single visit, so we ask for photos and rough sizes first. That way the right products come on the day.
- First we take quantities off the drawings and read through the specification.
- 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.
- Areas are sealed plot by plot or floor by floor as the trades hand them over.
- Every joint is prepared, set to depth and sealed with the specified product.
- We close out snagging and hand over with a 12-month guarantee.
Getting the site ready
- Send your site hours and access windows
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Tell staff and tenants when we will be in

Construction mastic in Priddy's Hard: the local picture
With the shore within about 1 mile, Priddy's Hard counts as a coastal location. Schemes this close to the sea see their facade joints tested by wind and rain from the day they’re sealed, and the sealant, primer and backing need choosing with that in mind. Rainfall across the South East, Priddy's Hard included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. That doesn’t stop wet spells, or frosty starts that leave panels too damp to seal, so the external programme keeps a little slack.
Building work at universities like University of Portsmouth - North Zone, 1.3 miles south-east of Priddy's Hard, is often timed for the summer, mastic included. Recladding or extending a unit at a site like Cranbourne Industrial Estate (1.1 miles south of Priddy's Hard) brings panel joints and frame perimeters into the programme. Hotels like Railway Hotel (to the south of Priddy's Hard) rarely close for long, so refurbishment mastic is phased floor by floor.
Priddy's Hard is about 1 mile east of Gosport, in Hampshire. Anywhere in PO12, the process is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed. We work across 723 places in Hampshire, from busy centres to rural villages.

Aftercare for building managers
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. We suggest:
- Keep finished joints away from paint, plaster and scrapers
- Release areas for mastic once other trades have finished in them
- Put any product change through the designer first
- Brief the final clean team to avoid blades near sealant
Our 12-month guarantee covers the workmanship from sign-off. Damage by others isn’t a workmanship fault.
Sealing outside when the joint is damp or too cold leads to poor adhesion. Holding off until conditions suit avoids callbacks so external sequencing builds in some flexibility.
How the quote is worked out
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, since sites vary so much. What we look at:
- Distance, for remote addresses
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Whether the work must be split into stages

Pricing mastic packages depends on quantities, condition and access, and any specification that applies. Call for a quote.
