How we handle mastic sealing in Battramsley
Older blocks and commercial buildings can have mastic that contains asbestos. We check the asbestos register or survey before any old sealant is cut out and if it’s suspected, work stops until it’s tested. Removing asbestos-containing material isn’t something we do. If you’re dealing with old repairs sealed over failed mastic and cracked, hardened mastic round windows on a block, we can put it right, whatever the surface. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, the work in Battramsley is the same: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Rural conversions near places like Battramsley 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.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

Common questions from Battramsley clients
Does the sea air around Battramsley change the choice of sealant?
It can. Coastal exposure works external joints harder than inland weather. That puts more weight on product choice, primers where the manufacturer specifies them, and correct joint sizing.
Do you work for managing agents with blocks near Sway station?
Yes, we work for agents, landlords and housing associations with blocks of every size. Give us the building’s details and say how residents are notified, and we’ll quote and plan to suit.
Do you supply RAMS and insurance details?
We’re 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 will confirm with the quote.
How long does a typical visit take?
That varies with the scale of the job, but the work typically takes a few days for most blocks, with larger programmes scheduled building by building. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we will give you a timescale with the quote.
Is Battramsley in your area?
Yes. Sites across Battramsley are covered, and the same phone number covers every area.
Can you seal joints high up on a block?
Access is discussed and agreed before the quote is fixed. Tell us the number of storeys and whether scaffold or other access is planned, and we will tell you how we’d approach it.
Do you do block-wide mastic programmes?
Block-wide and estate programmes are common. The quote can be split however suits your budgeting.

What else we do in Battramsley
Planned mastic for Battramsley portfolios
Battramsley sits close to the coast, within about 3 miles. On buildings near the shore, the side facing the weather usually needs its mastic renewed first; plan inspections around that. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Even so, frame mastic only goes on in dry, workable conditions, and south- and west-facing elevations, which take the most sun and rain, often age first.
For a school such as William Gilpin Church of England Primary School, perimeter mastic on windows and doors is a holiday job. Trustees of buildings like Church of St John can bring frame and external mastic into a planned maintenance list.
Battramsley is about 2 miles north of Lymington, in Hampshire. Businesses, contractors and managing agents in Battramsley can call on us for mastic joints. Battramsley is one of 723 places in Hampshire on our list for mastic joints. Our Southampton page has more on work in that area.

Why deal with it now?
Mixed repairs by different contractors leave a patchwork of products and colours. A block-wide reseal gives one product, one colour and one guarantee and one 12-month guarantee. Older rural buildings around Battramsley move with the seasons, and rigid or tired sealant can’t keep up. A sealant with the right movement capability, correctly sized, lasts far better.
Pricing mastic joints depends on quantities, condition and access, plus any specification you are working to. Call for a quote.

What sealant work can’t fix
Part of a good diagnosis is knowing where sealant stops. We’ll tell you if the real problem is one of these:
- Masonry that has broken away beside the joint
- Glazing that needs replacing
- Frames that are rotten, warped or broken
Not sure which it is? You can call 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Where we work in Battramsley
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- Balcony and threshold joints
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
- External wall and movement joints
What the job involves on each surface
External movement joints
External movement joints take up expansion and contraction. Failed sealant in a movement joint lets water in.
Communal areas
Entrance doors, screens and corridor junctions in communal areas all have sealant joints. Tidy, sound joints keep them looking cared for.
What sets the cost
These are the things that shape the price:
- The total length or number of joints
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Phasing around occupants
- Removal of failed or old sealant
There’s no price list, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. For a fixed figure, call for a quote and we’ll price your job on its own details.
Before you send an enquiry
A good diagnosis starts with the right details. Let us know:
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- Any specification or named product
- When you need the work done
A handful of photos and a postcode is the fastest way to a quote. Send them through the quote form, or call the office on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos if you’d rather talk the job through.
How a job runs
On arrival, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Everything around the joints gets protected before any cutting starts, and the work typically takes anything from a day to a few weeks, depending on the number of buildings and joints. Jobs in and around smaller places like Battramsley are usually planned as a single visit, so we ask for photos and rough sizes first. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- Each block or building is walked and the failed joints recorded with the likely cause.
- A fixed quote follows, split by block or building if that suits you.
- Dates, areas and access are agreed so residents or tenants can be told in advance.
- We remove the old mastic completely and clean the joint faces back.
- Deep joints get backing rod, faces are primed if the manufacturer specifies it, then the joint is sealed and tooled.
- Completed joints are inspected and carry a 12-month workmanship guarantee.
What we need from you
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
Quotes
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we will price against exactly what is specified. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photos and a few notes.

When to call us in Battramsley
We often find joints filled solid with no backing rod so the mastic is bonded on three sides. That three-sided adhesion stops it stretching and it tears.
Clients typically get in touch after noticing one or more of the following:
- Damp patches beside frames
- Communal area joints that look neglected
- Mastic failing across several blocks on an estate
- Occupiers reporting cold air round windows
Buildings close to stations like Sway station (2 miles west of Battramsley) are often flats over shops, with frame mastic to keep sound.
