How we handle mastic sealing in Alresford
Across Alresford and the rest of Essex, we work the same way: you send details, we return a fixed quote, the joints are resealed and the 12-month guarantee follows. A list of buildings, a few photos and approximate joint numbers are enough for a quick quote, and site visits can be arranged. We work on shopfronts below residential blocks, balcony and threshold joints and communal entrances and stairwells, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are repeated reactive repairs to the same buildings and damp patches beside frames. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in Alresford, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Owners with buildings around smaller places like Alresford often group mastic work so one visit covers several properties. One quote can cover a whole list of addresses.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months, in Alresford as everywhere else we work. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

Questions we’re asked in Alresford
Will you work in a care home in Alresford without moving residents out?
Yes. Care settings are planned area by area, at times agreed with the home. Tell us about any infection-control or safeguarding requirements and we’ll work to them.
Our building in Alresford is near the coast: does that change the sealant?
It can. Wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt air are harder on external joints. We check the specified product suits the exposure and pay close attention to preparation.
What paperwork can you provide?
We are CHAS accredited, a Constructionline member and carry public liability insurance. For specific documents, tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote.
How do we ask for a quote?
You can use the quote form on this site; alternatively, ring 01277 525 020 or send photos by email. Photos, drawings or a joint schedule help us quote quickly.
Who decides which product is used?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
How soon can the area be used again?
The product and site conditions decide that. Some products skin over quickly but need longer to cure fully, and we confirm it before leaving site.
What if the old mastic contains asbestos?
We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials. If old sealant is suspected, work stops until it’s tested in line with the dutyholder’s asbestos management.

Communal areas

What sets the cost
To price the job, we consider:
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- Any access equipment needed
- The size and state of each joint
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
Cost follows what’s involved: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll explain how it’s made up.
Before you send an enquiry
Good information means a firmer quote. Helpful details to send:
- The site address and postcode
- Your programme or deadline
- Specification clauses that apply
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
Send us photographs, drawings or a joint schedule are often enough for a fixed quote. Where a site visit makes more sense, we will arrange one.
Keeping the joints sound
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Pass these on to them:
- Check sealant joints during planned building inspections
- Group repairs into a planned programme
- Protect low-level joints in entrances
- Mention RAMS, insurance or CSCS requirements up front
Include sealant in planned building inspections. Check for splits, open joints, brittle mastic and lifting edges, and note the building and elevation.
The longer failed joints are left, the more likely the substrate edges break up. Once that happens, repairs come before resealing.
Leave it or put it right?
Replacing mastic before water gets in is a planned job. After water has got in, there may be damp, damaged plaster or decoration to put right too, and the complaints come with it. Over time, UV, weather and movement wear any sealant out. Replacing it before it fails keeps water out.
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.
