Construction mastic in Thorley, done properly
The specification and the programme set the job rather than whatever product is to hand. If a product is named, that’s what goes in. Joint widths, backing, primers and tooling follow the manufacturer’s guidance. The enquiries we see most involve new external sealant already peeling away and a mastic package split between trades with no clear owner, on sanitary and kitchen joints, window and door perimeters and floor and skirting junctions. Searching for sealant specialists in Thorley? We have been sealing commercial buildings since 2005, CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
Sites around smaller places like Thorley can be a fair drive from suppliers, so we come with everything the package needs. Drawings, photos and the programme let us give a fixed quote.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: twelve months on the work we carried out. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

Thorley: questions and answers
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Lymington New Forest Hospital?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
Is Thorley off your patch?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. London and every South East county are within our area. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Can you work plot by plot or floor by floor?
Working to your programme, we seal each area as it’s handed over. The sequence is settled with your site team and adjusted as things change.
Can the sealant be colour-matched?
That depends on the product specified. Some ranges offer many colours, others very few, so the available colours are confirmed with the quote.
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. Work pauses if suspect material is found, until it has been tested.
What hours do you work?
Mention the site’s hours and access windows in your enquiry, and we’ll plan around them. You can reach the office between 8am and 5pm, Monday to Friday.
How soon can the area be used again?
Curing time varies by product, and we confirm it on the day, and sign any area that should be left alone.
Our process
Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: masking tape along the joint edges and sheeting over anything nearby. The work itself normally takes a day or two on a small fit-out and several weeks on a large multi-storey package, and our waste is bagged and taken away as we go. For work around Thorley, we aim to finish in one visit, so we ask for photographs and rough sizes first. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- We start with the drawings, specification and programme.
- Quantities are measured and a fixed price returned.
- 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.
- Snags are cleared and the package signed off with our 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Send your site hours and access windows
- Let us know about inductions and permits

Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints are often enough for a fixed quote. If the job needs a look first, we’ll arrange a site visit.

What the job involves on each surface
External facade and movement joints
External movement joints often need primer, depending on the substrate. Primer goes on where the sealant maker calls for it, and seal only with a dry joint inside the product’s temperature range.
Kitchens and utility areas
On commercial kitchen fit-outs, hygienic sealants are often specified. Joints are sealed smooth so they’re easy to clean.
What else we do in Thorley
Why it’s worth doing now in Thorley
On a refurbishment, there’s a choice between resealing existing frames and replacing them. If the frame is in good order, cutting out and resealing the perimeter can be all it needs and that’s a far smaller job. If the frame is life-expired, we will tell you. Halls, stores and units around places like Thorley may not be checked every day, so a failed joint can leak for a while before anyone sees it. Resealing early avoids that.
The specified product makes a difference, as does the preparation each joint needs. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
Why appoint us
- 12 months’ guarantee on every job
- Products installed to the manufacturer’s instructions
- Colour options checked against the specified product
- Constructionline member for supplier checks
Should maintenance staff do it?
Some joints are best left to specialists: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
Redoing a failed joint usually 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.
Honest limits
Part of a good diagnosis is knowing where sealant stops. You will hear from us if the cause turns out to be any of the following:
- Rework caused by others damaging completed areas
- Specifying the product where the designer hasn’t
- Faulty frames rather than failed sealant
If in doubt, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will say what we think.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Sanitary and kitchen joints

Construction mastic in Thorley: the local picture
The sea is no more than about 2 miles from Thorley. Coastal exposure means perimeter and cladding joints work harder than on an inland job, so joint design, primers and product choice deserve extra care. Thorley has a number of hotels close by, all within 2 miles. Hotel schemes tend to have fixed reopening dates, so the mastic is programmed tightly with the other trades.
Extensions at sites like Lymington New Forest Hospital, 5.9 miles north-west of Thorley, usually sit beside working departments, and the mastic follows strict access rules. For a contractor at a hotel such as Bugle Hotel (1.3 miles north-west of Thorley), the mastic often has to be finished before a reopening date. Historic houses such as Mottistone Manor (3.7 miles south-east of Thorley) are a reminder of the older buildings in the wider area, where sealing against old stone, brick or timber needs compatible products.
Thorley is about 5 miles south-east of Lymington, in the Isle of Wight.
