About our mastic sealing in Appleshaw
Owners and agents normally inherit a building’s mastic rather than choose it, and it ages quietly: window perimeters, door frames, external joints and communal junctions all rely on it. When it hardens, splits or pulls away, water and draughts follow, and occupiers start reporting it. We work on communal kitchens and washrooms, shopfronts below residential blocks and window and door perimeters on blocks, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are the same joint failures repeated across a portfolio and water getting in round frames after rain. Most enquiries from Appleshaw start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
For buildings around smaller places like Appleshaw, we group work so one trip covers it. Send photos of the frames and joints and we will give a fixed quote.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee, wherever the site is. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

From enquiry to sign-off
Working in a building that stays open takes some planning. We sign and contain the area we are in, with routes through the building left open and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use. For work around Appleshaw, we aim to finish in one visit, so we ask for photographs and rough sizes first. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- A building-by-building inspection lists the failed joints.
- You get a fixed quote, per block or for the whole programme.
- Dates and areas are agreed so occupiers can be told.
- Failed sealant is removed and the faces prepared.
- Joints are resealed and tooled.
- Each building is checked and signed off with the 12-month guarantee.
Getting the site ready
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements

Related advice
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, which is what makes a joint last.
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.
Maintenance after handover
Once the work is signed off, a little attention goes a long way:
- List the paperwork your organisation requires when you send details
- Check the asbestos register before any old mastic is disturbed
- Make it easy for occupiers to report draughts
- Keep a record of when each building was resealed
Protect entrance and corridor joints from knocks where possible. Damage at low level is the most common reason communal joints fail early.
Failed mastic often goes unnoticed until heavy rain finds it. Acting at the first signs keeps it a straightforward reseal and saves internal repairs.

Mastic sealing in Appleshaw: the local picture
Appleshaw is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. Outside work still depends on dry joints, and the sunniest, most exposed sides of a building typically need attention first. Appleshaw is about 66 miles from central London. 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 Peter in the Wood are looked after by trustees and committees like any other owner, and their frames, doors and external joints need mastic renewed in time. For agents with blocks near Andover station, which lies south-east of Appleshaw, a block-wide mastic programme deals with frames, balconies and entrances in one go.
Appleshaw is about 4 miles north-west of Andover, in Hampshire. Across the SP11 postcode area, it works the same way: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed. Appleshaw is one of 723 places in Hampshire on our list. For work in that direction, see our Southampton page, about 23 miles away.

FAQs: Appleshaw
Is Appleshaw too small for you to travel to?
No. Places such as Appleshaw are covered as much as the big towns. We work across Greater London and the South East. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Will you take on a block within reach of Andover station?
Yes, and several blocks can go on one quote. Give us the building’s details and say how residents are notified, and we will quote and plan to suit.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to, and any queries are raised before we start.
Do you work for managing agents and housing associations?
We do. Managing agents, property factors in Scotland, housing associations and landlords with block or commercial portfolios are our main clients for this work and work can be quoted per building or as a whole.
What paperwork can you provide?
Our credentials include CHAS, Constructionline and public liability insurance. Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote.
How do you choose the sealant?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
When is resealing likely to be due?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
Leave it or put it right?
Piecemeal repairs over the years often leave mismatched sealant. A block-wide reseal gives one product, one colour and one guarantee. Halls, stores and units around places like Appleshaw may not be checked every day, so a failed joint can leak for a while before anyone sees it. Renewing joints in good time avoids the problem.
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well.
What you get with us

When to call us in Appleshaw
In communal areas, joints take knocks from bins, bikes, buggies and deliveries, with joints near the floor and around doors suffering most. Cleaning products add to the wear.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- Estate-wide sealant that is simply worn out
- Movement joints with sealant missing
- No planned programme for sealant
- Draughts at frames across a block
If you own or manage units on a site such as Weyhill Business Park, which lies south of Appleshaw, failed mastic on frames, door surrounds and external joints can be dealt with unit by unit.
Questions to ask before you book
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
- Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
