Construction mastic for commercial buildings in Wickham
Getting a subcontractor through site induction should be simple. Our applicators are CSCS-carded, and we are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member. RAMS, an insurance certificate and CSCS details can be confirmed with the quote if you tell us what you need. We work on floor and skirting junctions, brick and block movement joints and window and door perimeters, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are sanitary sealant damaged by following trades and caulk cracking where joints are moving more than expected. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Wickham tend to want the same three things: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
For a contractor on a smaller site near Wickham, one mastic visit at the right stage saves return trips. Let us know the key stages and we’ll time the work so nothing waits on us.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work in Hampshire. If an installation problem shows up, call 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will arrange a return visit.

After the work
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. Our advice:
- Check frame gaps are within the sealant’s range before sealing
- Use the product the specification names
- Don’t force external sealing on a damp or frosty day
- Release areas for mastic once other trades have finished in them
Expect some settlement in the first months. Flexible sealants in the right joints handle normal movement. If that happens, let us know.
Snag items left to the last week put handover at risk. Clearing snags area by area spreads the work out and keeps handover on track.

Facades, frames and programmes in Wickham
Wickham sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Winter mornings still bring frost and condensation on frames and panels, so the external programme keeps a little slack. There are several hotels within about 2 miles of Wickham. Hotel refurbishments often run to tight programmes between busy periods, and perimeter and sanitary sealant has to keep up.
Extensions at sites like Knowle Hospital (to the south-west of Wickham) normally sit beside working departments, and the mastic follows strict access rules. When units on a site such as Knowle Village Business Park (to the south-west of Wickham) are refurbished or reclad, the panel joints and window perimeters are part of the mastic package.

FAQs: Wickham
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Knowle Hospital?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Will you take on work at estates like Knowle Village Business Park, close to Wickham?
Yes. Our area takes in Wickham and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Knowle Village Business Park included. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Can you fit around our programme?
We follow the trades through the building. Each plot, floor or elevation is sealed when it’s ready, and we will raise anything that holds the work up.
How long does a job like this take?
It depends on the scope, but the work typically takes a few days on a modest refurbishment and longer on multi-plot or multi-storey schemes. For bigger or phased jobs, we’ll set out a timescale with the quote.
How do we ask for a quote?
It works in four steps: send details, receive a fixed quote, we carry out the work, and it’s guaranteed. The first step only needs photographs and a postcode.
How long will the new sealant last?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
Can you handle several sites?
Yes. We take on portfolio and planned maintenance work, planned site by site to suit how each building is used.
What we’re called out for in Wickham
Dust is the enemy of adhesion on a construction site. Dust, film adhesive, damp and grease on the joint faces prevent a proper bond.
Look out for the following:
- A mastic package split between trades with no clear owner
- A long mastic snag list close to completion
- External joints sealed in damp or cold conditions that are now failing
- Existing joints on a refurb that need cutting out and resealing
Work at a hotel such as The Old House Hotel, under half a mile west of Wickham, tends to be programmed around bookings, mastic included.
What your quote should include
- Who will actually carry out the work
- How the existing material will be dealt with
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
- Their approach to joint depth and backing
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 job in Wickham, the main thing is a clear picture of the work. A fixed quote follows.
- Drawings, specification and programme come to us.
- We take off quantities and return a fixed quote.
- The sequence is agreed with the site manager.
- Each area is sealed when it’s released.
- 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 any specification or drawings in advance
- Send your site hours and access windows
- Point out any areas we must not close
Getting a fixed quote
A good quote starts with a clear picture: what’s there, how much of it, how we reach it and what’s specified. Send what you have, and we’ll arrange a site visit if anything is unclear.
Related advice
What the job involves on each surface
Bathrooms, en suites and washrooms
Across a block of flats or a hotel, sanitary sealing is repeated in every room. One applicator team gives the same finish everywhere following the programme.
Kitchens and utility areas
Worktop upstands, sinks and splashbacks are sealed once the kitchen is fitted. The sealant is a kitchen-grade product.
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.
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but larger jobs are different: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
What sets the cost
A fixed quote reflects the actual work. It takes account of:
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- How accessible the joints are
- The product specified
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.
Details that help us quote
Good information means a firmer quote. Helpful details to send:
- The postcode of the building
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- Specification clauses that apply
- What the building is and how it’s used
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it. For smaller jobs, photos and a description will do.
