Different surfaces, different methods
Tenement and older buildings
Traditional buildings have joints that need a careful approach. We look at the substrate before choosing a sealant.
Commercial and mixed-use buildings
Commercial buildings have mastic at shopfronts, entrances and external joints. We work across portfolios on a planned basis.
Mastic sealing in Beech, done properly
There isn’t one mastic for every joint on a building. Low-modulus neutral-cure silicone suits many window perimeters and external movement joints, and MS polymer sealants stick well to many substrates and often take paint, and colours are confirmed for whichever product is used. We work on balcony and threshold joints, communal entrances and stairwells and shopfronts below residential blocks, and what we’re called in for most is damp patches beside frames and occupiers reporting cold air round windows. Most enquiries from Beech 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.
In and around smaller places like Beech, landlords and agents often look after small groups of housing association properties, converted farm buildings and community buildings. Frame and wall-joint mastic on all of them ages and hardens.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

Why it’s worth doing now in Beech
Dealing with failed joints one report at a time is slow and scattered. Planned resealing covers a whole building or estate in one go, under a single quote and a single programme. Older rural buildings around Beech 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.
Cost follows what’s involved: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a fixed quote.

From enquiry to sign-off
We follow your site rules from the start: signing in, inductions and any permit to work. With the paperwork done, we take the joints in the sequence agreed with you, and each area is checked before we leave it. Jobs in and around smaller places like Beech are normally planned as a single visit, so we ask for photographs and rough sizes first. That way the right products come on the day.
- Each block or building is walked and the failed joints recorded with the likely cause.
- You get a fixed quote, priced per building where that helps your budgeting.
- Dates, areas and access are agreed so residents or tenants can be told in advance.
- Old sealant is stripped and each face prepared back to firm material.
- Backing rod and primer go in where the joint and the product need them, then new sealant is applied and tooled.
- Each building is checked on completion and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Getting the site ready
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- Flag any permit to work we will need
- Send your site hours and access windows
Ask for a quote
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photographs and a few notes.

Your questions answered
Will you take on work at estates like Kerridge Industrial Estate, close to Beech?

Do you work for managing agents with blocks near Alton station?
Yes. Managing agents, landlords, property factors and housing associations are who this service is for. We work to your notice and access arrangements.

We are CHAS accredited, a Constructionline member and carry public liability insurance. Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote.
How long do sealant joints last?
There isn’t a single answer, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
When can the area be used after sealing?
We’ll confirm how long the chosen product needs to cure.
How long does a job like this take?
The duration is planned around your programme and the access we’re given. We will give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
Planned mastic for Beech portfolios
Central London is about 47 miles from Beech. Managed blocks of flats are a big part of commuter-belt property; their frame mastic often ages block-wide. Rainfall across the South East, Beech included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. External mastic still waits for dry faces and the right temperature, while the elevations that take the most sun tend to show hardened mastic first.
If you look after a block within reach of Alton station, which lies east of Beech, frame and balcony mastic can be renewed on one programme. For owners of several units at places like Kerridge Industrial Estate (2.2 miles east of Beech), one programme can deal with frame and external mastic across the lot. Trustees of buildings like St Peter's can bring frame and external mastic into a planned maintenance list.
Beech is about 2 miles west of Alton, in Hampshire. Businesses, contractors and managing agents in Beech can call on us for mastic joints, as part of our coverage of Hampshire. Beech is one of 723 places we cover in Hampshire. There’s a separate page for Reading, about 21 miles away.

If your building is just outside Beech, we cover Thedden (1 mile north-west), Wivelrod (1 mile west), Bentworth (2 miles north-west), Holt End (2 miles west) and New Copse (2 miles west). Further afield, our area takes in Basingstoke (9 miles north-west), Winchester (14 miles south-west), Farnborough (15 miles north-east), Fleet (12 miles north-east), Aldershot (13 miles north-east) and Petersfield (10 miles south).
Near you in Beech

How the quote is worked out
The price varies from site to site. It mainly depends on:
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Phasing around occupants
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
The specified product makes a difference, as does the preparation each joint needs, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
What we need to price the job
However big the job, these details speed things up:
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- The type of building and who uses it
- Clear photographs of the problem areas
- Specification clauses that apply
For a fixed quote, call the office on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form with the site address and an outline of the work. You can also send details through our quote form.
Keeping the joints sound
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Reduce knocks to communal area joints
- Share the asbestos register when you send details
- Share your contractor requirements early
- Track which buildings were done and when
Encourage occupiers to report water or draughts at frames. A quick report keeps a small repair small.
Water getting in round frames can damage plaster, decoration and the frames themselves. Resealing early keeps the job small.
