When to call us in St Cross
Three-sided adhesion is a frequent fault on new work. Fixed to three faces, the sealant rips the first time the joint opens.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- Bath and shower joints scraped during the final clean
- Failed sealant in an existing building being refurbished
- Caulk cracking where joints are moving more than expected
- Inconsistent sealant finishes from plot to plot
For a contractor at a hotel such as Southgate Hotel, which lies north of St Cross, the mastic often has to be finished before a reopening date.

How we handle construction mastic in St Cross
Since 2005 we have worked alongside main contractors, developers and fit-out firms. Quantities come off the drawings, the sequence is agreed with the site manager and the work follows the trades. For construction mastic on a scheme in St Cross, send drawings through our quote form, or phone or email us to talk it through. We work on internal decorators’ caulk, cladding and panel joints and floor and skirting junctions, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are existing joints on a refurb that need cutting out and resealing and sanitary sealant damaged by following trades. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in St Cross, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Building work in places the size of St Cross is usually small-scale: a handful of new houses, barn conversions, a school or hall extension. Small schemes still need window perimeters, facade joints and internal sealant done to the specification.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and the quote explains what it covers.

Questions we’re asked in St Cross
Can work at a site such as University of Winchester fit around teaching?
Yes. Education sites normally want the work in vacations or in phases during term, and we plan to suit. Any paperwork you need, from RAMS to our insurance certificate and CSCS details, is confirmed with the quote.
Would you work within a site like Royal Hampshire County Hospital?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Do you guarantee new-build sealant work?
It carries a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. We are also fully insured for public liability.
How long does a typical visit take?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. We’ll give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
When is resealing likely to be due?
There isn’t a single answer, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
Do you work in St Cross?
Yes. St Cross is in our area and the rest of Hampshire, within our coverage of Greater London, South East England and Scotland. For a quote, phone 01277 525 020 or email us.
Can you fit around our programme?
We seal plot by plot or floor by floor as areas are released. The sequence is settled with your site team.
Maintenance after handover
Once the work is signed off, a little attention goes a long way:
- Protect sealed areas from following trades
- Don’t schedule sealing before decorators and flooring are done
- Get the mastic subcontractor involved early in the programme
- Note which sealant went where at handover
Tell the builders’ clean team which areas have new sealant. Blades and abrasive pads are the commonest cause of damage at the final clean so keep them off the joints.
A missed perimeter seal on one window can wet the reveal and the plaster inside. That normally means redoing finishes in a completed area and possibly a delayed handover. A check of every frame before decorators start is worth the time.
Contractors’ notes for St Cross
St Cross lies roughly 62 miles out 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. A good number of hotels sit less than 2 miles from St Cross. Hotel schemes tend to have fixed reopening dates, so the mastic is programmed tightly with the other trades.
University estates such as University of Winchester (0.9 miles north of St Cross) tend to have a rolling programme of new buildings and refurbishments, each with window perimeters and facade joints to seal. Projects at colleges like Peter Symonds College, 1.5 miles north of St Cross, tend to run to term dates, so the mastic is planned tightly.
St Cross is about 1 mile south of Winchester, in Hampshire. Anywhere in SO22, the process is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed.

Commercial sites across SO22 and SO23 are covered. If your site is on Edgar Road, Hubert Road and Grange Road or close by, send details and we will quote for mastic packages. We also cover Badger Farm (1 mile west), Stanmore (1 mile north-west), Winchester (1 mile north), Bar End (1 mile east) and Highcliffe (1 mile north-east) for mastic packages.

Should maintenance staff do it?
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 typically 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.

Owners, agents and contractors
When you manage a building on behalf of an owner, clear figures and clear communication matter. We quote a fixed sum, confirm the scope and walk the finished work with you or your representative, plus a 12-month guarantee.
Facilities managers want contractors who arrive with the paperwork sorted. Tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we will confirm with the quote.
Cost factors for mastic packages
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, because every site is different. What we look at:
- The size and state of each joint
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- The product specified
- Removal of failed or old sealant
The price depends on the quantity of joints, how much old material needs removing and how the joints are reached. Call for a fixed quote when you are ready.
Details that help us quote
Diagnosis starts before we arrive. Tell us:
- Specification clauses that apply
- The type of building and who uses it

Diagnose, treat, sign off

Clear photos and measurements help us bring the right products.
