Questions we’re asked in Red Rice
Is Red Rice off your patch?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We work across Greater London and the South East. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Do you cover business parks and estates near Red Rice, such as Glenmore Business Park?
Yes, sites like Glenmore Business Park are within our area, along with the rest of Red Rice. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
When is resealing likely to be due?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
Can you work to our specification?
The specification decides the product, and we will raise it if something in it doesn’t suit the joint. Product standards such as BS EN 15651 are often named in specifications.
How soon can the area be used again?
Curing time varies by product, and we confirm it on the day.
How many days will you need on site?
That varies with the scale of the job, but the work normally takes as long as the agreed sequence needs, which comes down to joint lengths, access and handover dates. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we’ll give you a timescale with the quote.
How do we ask for a quote?
The quote form is the simplest route, though you can also call the office on 01277 525 020 or email us. Photos, drawings or a joint schedule help us quote quickly.
Construction mastic for commercial buildings in Red Rice
We work to the specification and the programme. 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. The enquiries we see most involve caulk cracking where joints are moving more than expected and window and door perimeters that won’t pass inspection, across internal decorators’ caulk, brick and block movement joints and cladding and panel joints. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: in Red Rice, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
In the countryside around places like Red Rice, conversion schemes put new frames into old stone, flint, brick or timber. Those joints need a sealant that suits an uneven, sometimes porous surface, and often a colour chosen for the building.
We stand behind the joints we seal: 12 months, guaranteed. That covers our preparation and application, and if something we did falls short, we return to it.

Other services in Red Rice
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
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.
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. Where it goes wrong is preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
Why act early in Red Rice
Sealing over damaged or contaminated new joints might save a day, but it won’t last. New sealant laid on old or dirty sealant has nothing to bond to, and the defect comes back after handover. We cut out and redo the joint properly. Around Red Rice, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once. Send photographs of each area and we will quote for the lot.
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote, and you’ll have a fixed figure to work with.

Different surfaces, different methods
External facade and movement joints
Brickwork, blockwork and panel movement joints need a sealant with the right movement capability. We set the depth with backing rod to avoid three-sided adhesion.
Snagging before handover
Damaged, missed or untidy joints make up most snag lists. Snagging can be included or priced separately, depending on what suits the programme.
What sealant work can’t fix
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It isn’t the answer for:
- Approving fire stopping as compliant
- Rework caused by others damaging completed areas
- Designing joint widths or choosing the specification (that sits with the designer)
Not sure which it is? You can give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Window and door perimeters
- Sanitary and kitchen joints
- Brick and block movement joints
- Cladding and panel joints
- Floor and skirting junctions
- Internal decorators’ caulk
Diagnose, treat, sign off
Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. The work itself usually takes a day or two on a small fit-out and several weeks on a large multi-storey package, and our waste is bagged and taken away as we go. Smaller jobs around Red Rice can be grouped with others nearby, which keeps travel down. You’ll have a fixed quote before work starts.

Contractors’ notes for Red Rice
Red Rice sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. 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. Central London is about 65 miles from Red Rice. Construction around the commuter belt mixes station-side flats with refurbished offices and units, so mastic packages have to keep pace with busy programmes.
Projects at colleges like Andover College, 2.7 miles to the north-east of Red Rice, tend to run to term dates, so the mastic is planned tightly. New wings at hospitals like Andover War Memorial Hospital, 2.8 miles to the north of Red Rice, bring long runs of window and panel joints to seal. For contractors at a school such as Redrice School, sealing has to be finished before term starts.
Red Rice is about 3 miles south-west of Andover, in Hampshire. Businesses, contractors and managing agents in Red Rice can call on us for mastic packages. We work across 723 places in Hampshire. Sites around Southampton have their own page, roughly 19 miles from Red Rice.
