Setley: questions and answers
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Lymington New Forest Hospital, something you do?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Is Setley off your patch?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. London and every South East county are within our area. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
How long does a typical visit take?
It depends on the scope, though a typical visit normally takes a day or two on a small fit-out and several weeks on a large multi-storey package. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we’ll give you a timescale with the quote.
Is the mastic package guaranteed?
Our workmanship carries a 12-month guarantee from sign-off. The guarantee covers our work, not later damage by other trades.
When can the area be used after sealing?
Curing time varies by product, and we confirm it on the day.
How long will the new sealant last?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
Do you do internal caulk as well as external mastic?
The scope comes from the specification and drawings, but most packages include frame perimeters, sanitary and kitchen joints, caulking where specified and a snagging pass.
About our construction mastic in Setley
Most of the packages we price run well beyond frames: external door and window perimeters, internal decorators’ caulk where specified, sanitary joints in bathrooms and washrooms, kitchen worktops and splashbacks, and snagging before handover. Splitting those between trades often leaves gaps in responsibility. If you are dealing with caulk cracking where joints are moving more than expected and inconsistent sealant finishes from plot to plot, we can help, whatever the surface. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Setley first comes to us: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
Around smaller places like Setley, building work normally means conversions of farm buildings, a few new houses or an extension to a hall or school. Perimeters, facade joints and internal sealant all need doing properly, however small the scheme.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee, wherever the site is. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

What happens if it’s left?
Refurbishments sometimes budget for new windows when the frames are sound and only the seal has failed. Sound frames often need only a new perimeter seal. We’ll say so if a frame itself is the problem. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Setley. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
A quote for mastic packages depends on quantities, condition and access, plus any specification you’re working to. Ask us for a fixed quote.

On site: what to expect
Where the site stays busy, the work is phased so only one area is out of use at a time. Each area is protected, prepared and sealed, then handed back before the next one starts. Jobs in and around smaller places like Setley are normally planned as a single visit, so photographs and measurements up front really help. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- We start with the drawings, specification and programme.
- We take off quantities and return a fixed quote.
- The sequence is agreed with the site manager.
- Plots or floors are sealed as they’re handed over.
- Joints are prepared, backed and sealed to the specification.
- After snagging, the work is handed over under our 12-month guarantee.
Getting the site ready

Related advice
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class, which is what makes a joint last.
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. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
Maintenance after handover
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Don’t force external sealing on a damp or frosty day
- Get the mastic subcontractor involved early in the programme
- Protect sealed areas from following trades
- Put any product change through the designer first
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. Tell us what records you need and we’ll confirm with the quote.
Leaving the mastic snag list to the end squeezes everyone. Clearing snags area by area spreads the work out and keeps handover on track.
What the job involves on each surface
Bathrooms, en suites and washrooms
Sanitary joints around baths, showers, basins and WCs need anti-mould sanitary silicone. Each joint is prepared, sealed and finished with a neat tooled line and baths are loaded where appropriate before sealing.
Internal decorators’ caulk
Caulk is easy to apply badly. A neat, consistent caulk line makes the decorators’ job quicker and keeps the snag list down.
What sealant work can’t fix
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- Joints damaged after sign-off by following trades
- Designing joint widths or choosing the specification (that sits with the designer)
- Defective windows, doors or glazing units (the supplier or installer’s job)
If in doubt, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll say what we think.

Sites and facades in and around Setley
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Even so, frost and condensation on steel and glass are common on winter mornings, which is why external dates are agreed with the site manager. Plenty of hotels sit less than 2 miles from Setley. Hotel refurbishments often run to tight programmes between busy periods, and perimeter and sanitary sealant has to keep up.
Extensions at sites like Lymington New Forest Hospital (2.9 miles south-east of Setley) typically sit beside working departments, and the mastic follows strict access rules. Hotels like Thatched Cottage Hotel, 0.7 miles north of Setley, rarely close for long, so refurbishment mastic is phased floor by floor. Projects at schools like Brockenhurst Church of England Primary School work to term dates, so mastic is programmed tightly.
