About our construction mastic in Totton
On refurbishments, the mastic package typically includes cutting out old sealant as well as sealing new work. Old beads come out completely, as fresh silicone can’t grip old. After that, the joints are prepared and sealed to the specification. If you’re dealing with frame gaps too wide for sealant alone and internal caulk splitting as the building dries out, we can help. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Totton tend to want the same three things: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
Older town-centre buildings in places like Totton are often converted to new uses or extended, which puts new frames and panels against old brick, stone or render. Getting the product and primer right for both faces is what keeps those joints sound.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we are clear about what is covered before work starts.

What sealant work can’t fix
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Joints damaged after sign-off by following trades
- Glazing units that are cracked or misted
- Oversized gaps that need packing or adjustment by others
If in doubt, call 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we seal
- Sanitary and kitchen joints
- Internal decorators’ caulk
- Window and door perimeters
- Brick and block movement joints
- Floor and skirting junctions
- Cladding and panel joints
When to call us in Totton
Dust is the enemy of adhesion on a construction site. Dust, film adhesive, damp and grease on the joint faces prevent a proper bond, so preparation matters as much here as on a reseal.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Perimeter gaps outside the sealant’s range
- New external sealant already peeling away
- Inconsistent sealant finishes from plot to plot
- Bath and shower joints scraped during the final clean
New units and refits on sites such as Brokenford Business Park (0.6 miles east of Totton) need their panel and perimeter joints sealed to the specification.
Before you book anyone
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
- What site paperwork they can supply
- Proof of insurance
- How long is the guarantee, and what does it include?
FAQs: Totton
Our building in Totton is near the coast: does that change the sealant?
It can. Driven rain and salt are tougher on outside sealant than sheltered inland conditions. We choose the product for the exposure, prime where the manufacturer requires it and size the joint for its movement.
Will you plan work around the academic year at somewhere like Southampton Solent University?
Yes. Tell us the term dates, vacation periods and access windows, and we will plan the work around them. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and paperwork such as RAMS is confirmed with the quote.
How do we ask for a quote?
You can use the quote form on this site; alternatively, phone 01277 525 020 or email us. Photos, drawings or a joint schedule help us quote quickly.
What guarantee comes with a mastic package?
Each package is backed by a 12-month guarantee. We are also fully insured for public liability.
Can you seal external joints in wet or cold weather?
External sealing goes ahead only with a dry joint inside the product’s temperature range. Sealing in poor conditions risks adhesion failure, so we wait rather than redo work.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Our insurance certificate can be sent alongside the quote.
How soon can the area be used again?
We will confirm how long the chosen product needs to cure, and sign any area that should be left alone.

Construction mastic around Totton: what changes locally
Totton lies within about 2 miles of the sea. Schemes this close to the sea see their facade joints tested by wind and rain from the day they’re sealed, so we check the specified product suits the exposure before the first bead. The area within 2 miles of Totton holds a number of hotels. Hotel refurbishments often run to tight programmes between busy periods, and perimeter and sanitary sealant has to keep up.
For contractors at a college like Totton College, less than half a mile to the north of Totton, perimeters and internal sealant are timed for the holidays. For a contractor at a hotel such as The Station Hotel (1 mile east of Totton), the mastic often has to be finished before a reopening date.

Why it’s worth doing now in Totton
Leaving mastic to whichever trade is fitting the element can look cheaper on paper. The result tends to be uneven finishes and arguments about who should seal what. A single mastic package gives one point of responsibility, with the same standard on every plot. For businesses and landlords in Totton, a tidy, sound joint also matters for appearance. Renewing it keeps the building looking cared for.
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well, along with the time of year for external work.
Why us?
- CSCS-carded applicators
- Old sealant cut out, never sealed over
- CHAS accredited
- Colour agreed before work starts

Should maintenance staff do it?
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are easy to get wrong without experience.
Certain joints really need a specialist: 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.
