Contractors’ notes for Redlands
Redlands is about 37 miles from central London. Construction around the commuter belt mixes station-side flats with refurbished offices and units, so mastic packages have to keep pace with busy programmes. Rainfall across the South East, Redlands included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Winter mornings still bring frost and condensation on frames and panels, so external mastic is timed for workable conditions and agreed with the site manager.
Older buildings in the area around Redlands, such as Farnham Castle, which lies south-east of Redlands, need care when sealed: the product has to suit soft or historic materials. New wings at hospitals like Spire Clare Park Hospital (0.7 miles south of Redlands) bring long runs of window and panel joints to seal. School extensions, at buildings such as Crondall Primary School, typically run to the summer holidays, mastic included.
Redlands is about 3 miles south of Fleet, in Hampshire. Businesses, contractors and managing agents in Redlands can call on us for mastic packages. We work across 723 places in Hampshire, from busy centres to rural villages. Our Reading page has more on work in that area.

Construction mastic for commercial buildings in Redlands
Refurbishment work needs a slightly different approach from new build. Old beads come out completely, as fresh silicone can’t grip old and the asbestos survey is checked first on older stock. New and existing joints then get the same preparation. Site teams most often ask us about internal caulk splitting as the building dries out and mastic snags holding up handover, on window and door perimeters, internal decorators’ caulk and floor and skirting junctions. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Redlands from the first photos to the final walk-round, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
Construction in and around smaller places such as Redlands is often barn conversions, small groups of houses or extensions to halls and schools. Perimeters, facade joints and internal sealant all need doing properly, however small the scheme.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: 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.

Your questions answered
Will you plan work around the academic year at somewhere like University for the Creative Arts?
Yes, holiday working periods are the norm on campus jobs. Let us know which documents your site asks for, and we will confirm them alongside the quote.
Do you cover business parks and estates near Redlands, such as Fleet Business Park?
Yes, sites like Fleet Business Park are within our area, along with the rest of Redlands. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
How long will the new sealant last?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
The duty to manage asbestos sits with the building’s dutyholder, so we’ll ask for the register before work on an older building. If anything suspect turns up, we stop until it’s tested.
What will the job cost?
Every job gets its own fixed quote. To get one, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email us.
Can you fit around our programme?
The programme sets the job. Tell us the sequence and we’ll plan applicators around it.
Can you send site paperwork?
Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote.
Why act early in Redlands
Patching snags as they appear can feel quicker than a proper close-out. A planned sweep of each plot or floor catches the lot in one go and saves applicators coming back again and again. Snagging can be priced as a separate stage. For buildings around smaller places like Redlands, water damage can go unnoticed for longer, especially where a building isn’t used daily, which gives a failed joint time to do damage. Renewing joints in good time avoids the problem.
The work involved drives the cost: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll explain how it’s made up.

Different surfaces, different methods
Kitchens and utility areas
On commercial kitchen fit-outs, hygienic sealants are often specified. Joints are sealed smooth so they’re easy to clean.
Snagging before handover
Snags typically come from damage by following trades, missed joints or poor earlier work. Snagging can be included or priced separately.
How a job runs
We follow your site rules from the start: sign-in, induction and whatever permit system the building uses. With the paperwork done, we take the joints in the sequence agreed with you, and each area is checked before we leave it. If others near Redlands need work, visits can be combined, which keeps travel down. You’ll have a fixed quote before work starts.
- We price from the drawings, specification and programme you send.

Aftercare for building managers
Regular inspection catches problems early. In particular:
- Ask cleaners to use soft cloths around fresh sealant
- Don’t force external sealing on a damp or frosty day
- Record the products used in the O&M file
- Keep finished joints away from paint, plaster and scrapers
Record which products went where in the handover file. Future maintenance is easier when the products are known, and tells you what to reseal with. We can confirm the handover information you need when we quote.
In wet areas, a weak sanitary joint shows up quickly once the building is occupied. Water gets behind trays, vanity tops and panels, leaving the remedial work to the contractor. Proper preparation, with the right silicone first time, keeps it off the defects list.
