Work for main contractors and building owners
FMs need a contractor who is easy to get on site. Tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we will confirm with the quote.
Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units come to us directly as well. We plan around the way the building is used, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.
Mastic sealing for commercial buildings in Grateley
Managing agents and housing associations normally need paperwork before anyone starts. Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote. We are a Constructionline member and CHAS accredited, and we carry public liability insurance. We work on communal kitchens and washrooms, communal entrances and stairwells and balcony and threshold joints, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are open joints in brickwork or panels and mastic failing across several blocks on an estate. For commercial sealant work in Grateley, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, whether it’s one building or several.
Rural conversions near places like Grateley often set modern frames into older stone, flint or brick. Perimeter mastic there has to grip an uneven face and suit the building’s character.
We stand by our work: 12 months, guaranteed. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant.

On site: what to expect
Occupied buildings need a little choreography. We sign and contain the area we are in, keep walkways clear and move on in phases so staff and visitors can carry on around us. Jobs in and around smaller places like Grateley are typically planned as a single visit, so we ask for photos and rough sizes first. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- First comes a look at the joints and, for older buildings, the asbestos records.
- The products and programme are set out in a fixed quote.
- Failed mastic is removed completely.
- The joints are prepared and resealed with the right product.
- Buildings are completed in turn.
Before we start on site
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
Request a quote
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we will price the work to it. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photos and a few notes.
Advice
Surface by surface
Commercial and mixed-use buildings
Mixed-use buildings combine shops below with flats or offices above, so phasing has to suit both. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them.
Estate-wide resealing programmes
An estate of similar buildings suits a rolling programme. We quote building by building and work through them in turn.
Why deal with it now?
Failed perimeter mastic lets cold air in around frames and the windows typically get the blame. In many cases, new perimeter sealant deals with it when the frames themselves are sound. Around Grateley, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once, rather than one at a time. Send photographs of each area and we will quote for the lot.
What a job costs comes down to how many linear metres there are, what has to come out first and how the joints are reached. Call for a quote when you’re ready.
What you get with us

Questions we’re asked in Grateley
Will you price a mastic programme across our Grateley portfolio?
Yes. Planned programmes across a building, block or estate are a core part of this service. Residents are given notice through you, and the work moves building by building.
Will you take on a block within reach of Grateley station?
Yes, and several blocks can go on one quote. Give us the building’s details and say how residents are notified, and we’ll quote and plan to suit.
Which sealant will you use?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
Can you send RAMS and CSCS details before starting?
Let us know your requirements: tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
How long does a typical visit take?
That varies with the scale of the job, though a typical visit normally takes a day or two for a single block, longer for an estate programme. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we’ll give you a timescale with the quote.
Do you check for asbestos in old sealant?
Asbestos removal isn’t part of our work. Anything suspect is tested before we carry on, and the duty to manage asbestos sits with the dutyholder.
How soon can the area be used again?
We will confirm how long the chosen product needs to cure, and flag anything to keep off until it has cured.
Looking after buildings in and around Grateley
Grateley is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. External mastic still waits for dry faces and the right temperature, while the elevations that take the most sun tend to show hardened mastic first. Central London is about 69 miles from Grateley. Managed blocks of flats are a big part of commuter-belt property; their frame mastic often ages block-wide.
Churches, halls and community buildings such as Church of St Leonard are looked after by trustees and committees like any other owner, and their frames, doors and external joints need mastic renewed in time. Blocks of flats and mixed-use buildings often cluster around stations such as Grateley station, 0.9 miles south-west of Grateley, and their window and balcony mastic tends to age at the same rate across a building.
Grateley is about 6 miles south-west of Andover, in Hampshire. We cover Grateley and the rest of Hampshire, with the same fixed quotes and 12-month guarantee as everywhere else.

What affects the price in Grateley
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, since sites vary so much. What we look at:
- Joint width, depth and condition
- How much existing material needs removing
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Phasing around occupants
The specified product makes a difference, as does the preparation each joint needs, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
What we need to price the job
To price the job accurately, we need a clear picture of the site. Useful things to include:
- Any specification or named product
- When you need the work done
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- The postcode of the building
Tell us about the building, the joints and when you need the work done, and we’ll put a fixed quote together. To get it moving, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.
What we are called out for in Grateley
Frames, panels and masonry expand and contract through the year, and the sealant takes up that movement. If the joint or the product wasn’t suited to the movement, it splits and fails early.
Typical triggers for a call:
- Communal area joints that look neglected
- Complaints coming in block by block
- Window mastic that has split and shrunk
- Draught complaints from residents or tenants
If your remit includes a building such as Grateley Primary School, frame and door mastic can be programmed for the holidays.
Before you book anyone
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
