Construction mastic for Shalden sites
Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
Should maintenance staff do it?
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. 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.
There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.

If you’re dealing with failed sealant in an existing building being refurbished and missed perimeter joints on a new elevation, we can help, whatever the surface.

Around smaller places like Shalden, building work typically 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.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we’re clear about what is covered before work starts.

What affects the price in Shalden
These are the things that shape the price:
- Phasing around occupants
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- How accessible the joints are
- The size and state of each joint
The product called for affects the cost, and so does the preparation, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
Before you send an enquiry
However big the job, the same details help:
- Any dates the work must fit around
- Access details, including height
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
Every job follows the same four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. The first step is to give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email us with what you know.
Keeping the joints sound
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Stick to the specified sealant rather than a generic substitute
- Brief the final clean team to avoid blades near sealant
- Record the products used in the O&M file
- Release areas for mastic once other trades have finished in them
If a joint is damaged after sealing, flag it early. Snags can be picked up in a planned close-out visit as agreed in the quote.
Snag items left to the last week put handover at risk. Clearing snags area by area spreads the work out, and avoids a rush.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
Occupied buildings need a little choreography. The work area is signed and kept contained, keep walkways clear and move on in phases so staff and visitors can carry on around us. For a building around Shalden, tell us how to find it and who will meet us. Send that with the details and we will confirm the plan with the quote.
- Drawings, specification and programme come to us.
- 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.
- Every joint is cleaned, set to depth and sealed with the specified product.
- After snagging, the work is handed over under our 12-month guarantee.
Getting the site ready
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Make sure the joints can be reached

Construction mastic around Shalden: what changes locally
At about 45 miles from central London, Shalden is within reach of the capital. Towns within reach of London tend to keep building, from flats to offices and schools, and main contractors there need mastic that keeps to the programme. A 2-mile radius around Shalden takes in a number of hotels. When hotels extend or refit, the work is normally squeezed between peak periods, mastic included.
When units on a site such as Kerridge Industrial Estate, 2.1 miles to the south-east of Shalden, are refurbished or reclad, the panel joints and window perimeters are part of the mastic package. Extensions at sites like Alton Community Hospital, 2.3 miles to the south of Shalden, usually sit beside working departments, and the mastic follows strict access rules. Historic houses such as Hall Place, 2.5 miles to the south-west of Shalden, are a reminder of the older buildings in the wider area, where sealing against old stone, brick or timber needs compatible products.
Shalden is about 2 miles north-west of Alton, in Hampshire. Anywhere in GU34, it works the same way: details in, fixed quote out, then sealing and a 12-month guarantee. Across Hampshire, 723 places are covered, Shalden among them. We also cover Reading, some 19 miles away.

Common questions from Shalden clients
Would you work within a site like Alton Community Hospital?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Do you cover business parks and estates near Shalden, such as Kerridge Industrial Estate?
Yes. Our area takes in Shalden and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Kerridge Industrial Estate included. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
What hours do you work?
Give us your site hours and any access windows in your enquiry, and we will plan around them. Our office runs Monday to Friday, 8am until 5pm.
Can you seal external joints in wet or cold weather?
External sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range. Frosty or damp mornings can hold up external sealing, so internal areas are often done on those days.
Does the weather affect the work?
It can, for external work. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Internal work is far less affected.
Do you take on mastic snagging only?
Yes. We clear snags by redoing joints rather than patching them to suit the programme.
How long do sealant joints last?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
