How we handle construction mastic in Purbrook
Getting a subcontractor through site induction should be simple. Our applicators are CSCS-carded, and we are 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. We work on floor and skirting junctions, cladding and panel joints and sanitary and kitchen joints, and what we’re called in for most is internal caulk splitting as the building dries out and mastic snags holding up handover. Most enquiries from Purbrook start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
For contractors on site in a town like Purbrook, the mastic has to fit the programme: perimeters sealed before scaffold is struck, internal sealant after decoration, snags before handover. Send drawings and the programme and we’ll price to suit.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

Maintenance after handover
Regular inspection catches problems early. Specifically:
- Flag uneven or tapered frame gaps early
- Keep product details for future maintenance
- Release areas for mastic once other trades have finished in them
- Keep finished joints away from paint, plaster and scrapers
Expect some settlement in the first months. The right product in each joint copes with that while rigid fillers and caulk can crack where movement is larger. If that happens, let us know.
Leaving the mastic snag list to the end squeezes everyone. Clearing snags area by area spreads the work out.
FAQs: Purbrook
Will you plan work around the academic year at somewhere like University of Portsmouth - Langstone Campus?
Yes, holiday working periods are the norm on campus jobs. Tell us which site documents you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate or CSCS details, and they’re confirmed with the quote.
Do you cover business parks and estates near Purbrook, such as Dunsbury Hill Business Park?
Yes. Our area takes in Purbrook and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Dunsbury Hill Business Park included. To start, just phone 01277 525 020 or email the details over with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
How long does a job like this take?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. You’ll have an expected duration with the quote.
Can you come in just for snagging?
Yes. We can work through a mastic snag list area by area before handover, cutting out damaged or poor joints and resealing them.
Will you stick to the specified products?
Specification first, then the maker’s instructions. Preparation, backing and depth follow the product guidance.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No, never. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so everything comes out first.
What does a mastic package typically include?
Inside and out: frame perimeters, movement joints, caulk where called for, sanitary and kitchens in one fixed quote.

Leave it or put it right?
Clearing snags piecemeal is tempting when handover is close. But one planned snagging pass through each area typically clears more for less disruption. We can run snagging as its own phase before handover. A failed joint is easier to put right before damp shows inside. Once water gets in, there’s drying out and making good as well.
No two sites price the same: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.

How the job changes by surface
Window and door perimeters
Frames sealed into the opening keep rain out of the reveal. They’re sealed with a low-modulus neutral-cure silicone or another product named in the specification.
Internal decorators’ caulk
Acrylic caulk fills internal gaps around trims, boards and frames ahead of decorating. It’s for gaps that stay still and get painted, and we use a flexible sealant where there’s movement.
Facades, frames and programmes in Purbrook
The sea is no more than about 2 miles from Purbrook. Coastal exposure means perimeter and cladding joints work harder than on an inland job, which puts weight on correct joint sizing, priming and a sealant suited to the exposure. At about 60 miles from central London, Purbrook is within reach of the capital. 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.
For contractors refurbishing units at places like Dunsbury Hill Business Park, which lies north-east of Purbrook, the mastic covers cladding panels, roller-door and window perimeters. University estates such as University of Portsmouth - Langstone Campus, 5 miles south of Purbrook, tend to have a rolling programme of new buildings and refurbishments, each with window perimeters and facade joints to seal.

When to call us in Purbrook
Three-sided adhesion is a frequent fault on new work. Fixed to three faces, the sealant rips the first time the joint opens.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- A long mastic snag list close to completion
- Internal caulk splitting as the building dries out
- External joints sealed in damp or cold conditions that are now failing
- Different trades sealing to different standards
Extensions at sites like Queen Alexandra Hospital, 2 miles south-west of Purbrook, normally sit beside working departments, and the mastic follows strict access rules.
