Questions about Sholing
Can work at a site such as Solent University fit around teaching?
Yes. We plan campus work around teaching, exams and residence turnarounds. Tell us which site documents you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate or CSCS details, and they’re confirmed with the quote.
Our building in Sholing is near the coast: does that change the sealant?
It can. Coastal exposure works external joints harder than inland weather. Product choice and preparation matter more, and sea-facing elevations are worth inspecting more often.
What guarantee comes with a mastic package?
Our workmanship carries a 12-month guarantee from sign-off. Damage by others after we’ve finished isn’t covered.
Can you fit around our working hours?
We’re in the office from 8am until 5pm, Monday to Friday. Tell us your site hours and access windows and the work will be fitted around them.
Which sealant will you use?
The specification comes first, if there is one. Without one, the joint decides: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
Do you do internal caulk as well as external mastic?
External and internal frame perimeters, caulking where it’s specified, sanitary silicone, kitchen joints and snagging before handover. The scope follows your specification.
Will you come and look before quoting?
It depends on the job. Simple work can often be priced from photographs, and bigger or more complex jobs usually get a visit.
About our construction mastic in Sholing
Getting a subcontractor through site induction should be simple. We’re a Constructionline member and CHAS accredited, and every applicator holds a CSCS card. RAMS, an insurance certificate and CSCS details can be confirmed with the quote if you tell us what you need. The enquiries we see most involve new external sealant already peeling away and frame gaps too wide for sealant alone, across sanitary and kitchen joints, floor and skirting junctions and window and door perimeters. For commercial sealant work in Sholing, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, whether it’s one building or several.
On a small site around Sholing, the mastic is best done in the fewest visits we can manage. Tell us when scaffold comes down and when decoration finishes, and we will plan around those stages.
Every job is signed off with a 12-month guarantee. The promise is simple: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

Different surfaces, different methods
Bathrooms, en suites and washrooms
In bathrooms and washrooms, an anti-mould sanitary silicone goes around every fitting. Each joint is prepared, sealed and finished with a neat tooled line and baths are loaded where appropriate before sealing.
Fire-rated sealant where specified
Fire-rated sealant is one type of fire-stopping product. Collars, wraps, batts and boards are specified for other services. Tell us what records you need and we will confirm with the quote.
When to call us in Sholing
On a live site, contamination is the biggest threat to a new joint. Dust, film adhesive, damp and grease on the joint faces prevent a proper bond.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- Caulk cracking where joints are moving more than expected
- Missed perimeter joints on a new elevation
- Old sealant on a refurbishment that needs stripping before new work
- External joints sealed in damp or cold conditions that are now failing
Units on estates such as Bitterne Business Centre, 1.6 miles to the north-west of Sholing, tend to be reclad and refitted as tenants change, and each job leaves cladding and perimeter joints to seal.

Construction mastic around Sholing: points for this area
Sholing is within about 2 miles of the coast. Facades and window perimeters on coastal schemes take more wind-driven rain, and salt air nearer the shore, so we check the specified product suits the exposure before the first bead. Sholing is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. Even so, frost and condensation on steel and glass are common on winter mornings, so we time external mastic for dry faces and agree it with the site team.
Further education sites such as Itchen College, 0.6 miles north of Sholing, are extended and refurbished from time to time, with mastic often programmed into the summer break. On a healthcare site such as Royal South Hants Hospital (2 miles north-west of Sholing), new blocks and refurbishments go on while the hospital keeps running, so mastic work is sequenced carefully.
Sholing is about 2 miles south-east of Southampton, in Southampton. Looking for construction mastic in Sholing? We can help. Sholing is one of 30 places in Southampton on our list.
