When to call us in Blackfield
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.
Most enquiries start with one or more of the following:
- Leaks at window and door perimeters
- The same joint failures repeated across a portfolio
- Brittle perimeter mastic across a building
- No planned programme for sealant
Historic properties like Beaulieu Palace House (to the west of Blackfield) show the age of some local stock, where frame mastic must suit soft brick or stone.

- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?

About our mastic sealing in Blackfield
In buildings from before 2000, some old mastics contain 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. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials. If you are dealing with open joints in brickwork or panels and cracked, hardened mastic round windows on a block, we can help, whatever the surface. Whoever orders the work in Blackfield, the brief is typically the same: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
Converted and older buildings in and around Blackfield often put modern windows into old walls. Perimeter joints need a sealant that suits both frame and masonry.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months, in Blackfield as everywhere else we work. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

Frames, entrances and external joints in Blackfield
Blackfield lies within about 2 miles of the sea. For owners and agents with buildings near the sea, exposed elevations are where frame mastic fails first. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Even so, frame mastic only goes on in dry, workable conditions, and elevations facing the sun and the prevailing weather are typically where frame mastic ages first.
If your remit includes a building such as Blackfield Primary School, frame and door mastic can be programmed for the holidays. Trustees of buildings like St Francis can bring frame and external mastic into a planned maintenance list.

- Materials that need asbestos testing before work
- Leaks from above rather than through a joint
- Broken glass or failed sealed units

After the work
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Pass these on to them:
- Have the asbestos survey to hand for older buildings
- Start inspections with the most exposed faces
- Make it easy for occupiers to report draughts
- Share your contractor requirements early
Encourage occupiers to report water or draughts at frames. Early reports catch failures before damage spreads.
The longer failed joints are left, the more likely the substrate edges break up. Then the edges may need repairing first and the job grows.
Common questions from Blackfield clients
Do you cover business parks and estates near Blackfield, such as Glenmore Business Park?
Yes. We cover Blackfield and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Glenmore Business Park. To start, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Is a smaller place like Blackfield outside your area?
Not at all. Blackfield is within our area. Our area covers London and the South East counties. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Can weather delay the job?
Outside, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Inside work is seldom held up.
Can you reseal a whole block or estate?
Yes, planned programmes suit estates and portfolios. The quote can be split however suits your budgeting.
What will the job cost?
It depends on the job: the volume of work, the access, the specified product and how it’s phased. Call for a quote and we will price it properly.
Is any job too small?
Small jobs are welcome alongside larger packages. Send details for a fixed quote.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and the quote will be based on it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
Why act early in Blackfield
Reacting to every complaint means sending someone out block by block. Planned resealing covers a whole building or estate in one go and is simpler to manage and budget. Small buildings around Blackfield suffer from failed joints as much as large ones. Catching it early means a reseal rather than repairs.
What a job costs comes down to the quantity of joints, what has to come out first and how the joints are reached. Call for a quote once you have the details.

Cost factors for mastic joints
To price the job, we consider:
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Distance, for remote addresses
- Which sealant the job calls for
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.

Diagnosis starts before we arrive. Tell us:
