New Hall was originally established in 1933 as an open prison for young male offenders. In 1987, it was converted into a women’s prison and has since operated as a closed prison for adult female inmates. The visitor centre is close to the prison and accommodates visitors and families of inmates.
What we did
Working in partnership with Algeco and Wates, our sealant team delivered expert mastic application for an internal fit-out project.
The team applied anti-pick mastic to all internal fixings, furniture, and sanitaryware throughout the site. Anti-pick mastic is specifically designed for environments where tamper resistance is critical – offering a tough, long-lasting seal that helps prevent damage, improves hygiene, and enhances the overall resilience of the installation.
This type of sealant is especially important in secure or high-traffic environments such as hospitals, care homes, or custodial settings, where both safety and cleanliness are paramount.
The project was completed over the course of one week, with two of our skilled operatives on site.

What we did
The SD team spent around a year on-site carrying out sealants’ services on behalf of GMI, who are a national award-winning contractor in the UK and have been building for clients for nearly 40 years. The aim was to help GMI achieve their goal of completing the building ahead of the next academic year which starts in September/October 2025.
As part of the work, our fully qualified team applied sealant to the external window frames and expansion joints to help prevent water leaks and improve insulation. As well as this, all the sanitary ware and furniture received internal silicone to seal the gaps between the fixtures and the walls to prevent water from leaking behind or under the fittings.

Originally opened as an athletics stadium for the 2002 Commonwealth Games, the stadium became Manchester City’s home ground in 2003. Since then, it has also hosted a range of other events, including music concerts and other major sporting events.
The current football capacity of the stadium is 53,600. However, following a multimillion-pound redevelopment plan, the stadium will see a third tier of seats added to the North Stand, which once completed – expected by summer 2025, will expand the capacity to 62,000.
What we did
The SD Team spent around a year on the site, carrying out sealants work on behalf of SISK, who are Ireland’s leading builder and contractor and deliver projects across the UK, Ireland and Europe.
Our fully qualified and highly trained sealants professionals supported SISK on a variety of things including sealing all pre-cast concrete terracing. This involved applying protective sealant to the pre-made concrete terraces in the north stand of the stadium. Sealing this increases the durability of the concrete and prevents moisture from the rain from damaging it, extending its lifespan.
