Doing it in-house
Redoing a failed joint normally costs more than getting it right at the outset, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. Where it goes wrong is preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
On site: what to expect
A typical day starts with protection: masking tape along the joint edges and sheeting over anything nearby. On site, the work typically takes one or more days per building, depending on the joint lengths and the access, and we clear our waste as we work. For a building around Buriton, tell us how to find it and who will meet us. Send that with the details and we will confirm the plan with the quote.

After the work
Regular inspection catches problems early. Specifically:
- Make it easy for occupiers to report draughts
- Plan resealing building by building rather than complaint by complaint
- Log resealing dates block by block
- Reduce knocks to communal area joints
Keep records of when each building was resealed. It helps plan the next round and shows what was done.
Water getting in round frames can damage plaster, decoration and the frames themselves. Early resealing is far simpler than repairs inside.
Why deal with it now?
Looking at mastic during planned maintenance costs little. Leaving it until there’s a leak turns it into reactive work with less control over timing. Around Buriton, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once, rather than one at a time. Send photographs of each area and we will quote for the lot.
A quote for mastic joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access. Call for a quote.

Questions about Buriton
Can you quote for mastic across several buildings in and around Buriton?
Yes. Portfolio-wide programmes are a regular request. Residents are given notice through you, and the work moves building by building.
Is Buriton too far out for you?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across Greater London and the South East. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
How long will the new sealant 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.
How do you choose the sealant?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
How do you handle work on occupied blocks?
Occupiers stay in the building throughout. We flag any areas that need internal access well before the dates so you can arrange it with occupiers.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
What about access for upper-floor joints?
Access is discussed and agreed before the quote is fixed. Tell us the building height and any access already in place, and we will tell you how we’d approach it.
What sets the cost
Quotes vary with the job. It mainly depends on:
- Distance, for remote addresses
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- How much there is to seal
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
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 fixed quote once you have the details.
What to include in your enquiry
A few photographs plus some basic facts will normally do. It helps to include:
- The product your specification calls for
- When you need the work done
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
Every job follows the same four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. To take the first step, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.

Common problems we fix in Buriton
Topping up old mastic is a common shortcut. New sealant won’t grip failed sealant and the repair soon fails.
Look out for the following:
- Complaints coming in block by block
- Damp patches beside frames
- Draught complaints from residents or tenants
- Mastic failing across several blocks on an estate
For a school such as Buriton Primary School, perimeter mastic on windows and doors is a holiday job.

Block-wide mastic in Buriton
Buriton is about 52 miles from central London. Within reach of London, blocks run by agents and associations are common around stations. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. External mastic still waits for dry faces and the right temperature, and elevations facing the sun and the prevailing weather are normally where frame mastic ages first.
Older community buildings, Church of St Mary among them, often have frames of mixed ages whose mastic varies. With historic buildings such as Uppark (to the south-east of Buriton) in the wider area, owners of older properties around Buriton should expect mastic to need a product that suits old masonry.
