Resealing can be scheduled alongside other planned works, building by building.
Commercial and mixed-use buildings
Landlords with commercial portfolios have shopfronts, office entrances and external joints to look after. A planned programme suits multi-building portfolios.
Mastic sealing in Bar End
We work for building owners, landlords with commercial or block portfolios, managing agents and housing associations. Many prefer a planned programme to one-off visits and we quote and schedule each building in turn. We work on communal kitchens and washrooms, shopfronts below residential blocks and external wall and movement joints, and the failures we are asked to look at most are open joints in brickwork or panels and worn sealant at communal door frames. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: on jobs in Bar End, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Owners and agents with buildings around smaller places such as Bar End tend to manage small terraces of association properties, converted barns and commercial units. Frame and wall-joint mastic on all of them ages and hardens.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

Honest limits
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Masonry that has broken away beside the joint
- Asbestos-containing sealant, which we don’t remove
- Leaks through the frame itself rather than the perimeter
If you are not sure, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

FAQs: Bar End
Is Bar End too small for you to travel to?
No. Places such as Bar End are covered as much as the big towns. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Can you quote for a block close to Winchester station?
Yes. Blocks of any size are within what we do. Photos of each elevation help us quote accurately.
How many days will you need on site?
That varies with the scale of the job, though a typical visit typically takes a few days for most blocks, with larger programmes scheduled building by building. For bigger or phased jobs, we’ll set out a timescale with the quote.
Can weather delay the job?
It can, for external work. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
Can you seal joints high up on a block?
It depends on the building. How upper joints are reached is agreed before work is booked so there are no surprises.
Do you work with property factors and landlords?
Yes. Most of our mastic sealing is for agents, factors, housing associations and portfolio landlords, and we quote building by building or as a programme.
Which sealant will you use?
The specification comes first, if there is one. Without one, the joint decides: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
Our process
A typical day starts with protection: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. The work itself usually takes one or more days per building, depending on the joint lengths and the access, and our waste is bagged and taken away as we go. Jobs in and around smaller places like Bar End are normally planned as a single visit, so photographs and measurements up front really help. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- We check the asbestos register for older buildings and look at the joints.
- The products and programme are set out in a fixed quote.
- Failed mastic is removed completely.
- Joint faces are cleaned, backed and resealed.
- Buildings are completed in turn.
What we need from you
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
Ask for a 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 will arrange a site visit if anything is unclear.

Quoting for work in Bar End
Quotes vary with the job. It mainly depends on:
- Distance, for remote addresses
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Whether the work must be split into stages
There’s no price list, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. Call for a quote.
What to include in your enquiry
Good information means a firmer quote. When you get in touch, include:
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- When you need the work done
- Any specification or named product
- Access details, including height
Send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed: that’s how every job runs. The first step is to give us a call on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form with what you know.
Maintenance after handover
To get the most from the new sealant:
- List the paperwork your organisation requires when you send details
- Avoid piecemeal callouts where you can
- Make it easy for occupiers to report draughts
- Include mastic in your cyclical inspections
Our workmanship is covered for 12 months, so report any failure in that time. Beyond that, routine checks spot the next round of repairs.
Leaks at window perimeters spoil finishes and can affect frames. Early resealing is far simpler than repairs inside.
Looking after buildings in and around Bar End
Bar End lies roughly 61 miles out from central London. Commuter-belt towns tend to have plenty of managed blocks near stations and town centres. There are two care or nursing homes within about 2 miles of Bar End. For owners and operators of care buildings, window perimeters and external joints are best renewed in planned phases around residents.
Churches, halls and community buildings such as All Saints are looked after by trustees and committees like any other owner, and their frames, doors and external joints need mastic renewed in time. For a school such as All Saints Church of England Primary School, perimeter mastic on windows and doors is a holiday job.
