About our mastic sealing in Chilworth
Across Chilworth and the rest of Hampshire, we work the same way: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed. Addresses, photos of typical joints and a rough idea of quantities let us give a quick quote or we can visit. Site teams most often ask us about leaks at window and door perimeters and draught complaints from residents or tenants, across balcony and threshold joints, window and door perimeters on blocks and communal entrances and stairwells. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Chilworth from the first photographs to the final walk-round, whether it’s one building or several.
Around smaller places like Chilworth, older walls fitted with newer windows are a familiar sight. The mastic needs to suit an irregular masonry face and the look of the building.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

What sealant work can’t fix
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- Old mastic suspected of containing asbestos, which must be tested and dealt with by a specialist first
- Glazing that needs replacing
- Frames that are rotten, warped or broken
If in doubt, call 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
- External wall and movement joints
- Balcony and threshold joints
- Communal entrances and stairwells
Aftercare for building managers
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. We suggest:
- Include mastic in your cyclical inspections
- Log resealing dates block by block
- Plan resealing building by building rather than complaint by complaint
- Share your contractor requirements early
Include sealant in planned building inspections. Check for splits, open joints, brittle mastic and lifting edges, and note the building and elevation.
The longer failed joints are left, the more likely the substrate edges break up. Once that happens, repairs come before resealing and the job grows.

Cost factors for mastic joints
We price every job individually. The things that drive the figure:
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Access and working height
The specified product makes a difference, as does the preparation each joint needs. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
Details that help us quote
The more we know, the firmer the quote. Helpful details to send:
- What the building is and how it’s used
- Access details, including height
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
Tell us about the building, the joints and when you need the work done, and we will put a fixed quote together. The easiest way is to call the office on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form.
Chilworth: questions and answers
Is Chilworth too small for you to travel to?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We work across Greater London and the South East. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Do you work for managing agents with blocks near Swaythling station?
Yes, we work for agents, landlords and housing associations with blocks of every size. Photos of each elevation help us quote accurately.
How long does a job like this take?
It depends on the scope, though a typical visit normally takes one or more days per building, depending on the joint lengths and the access. For bigger or phased jobs, we’ll set out a timescale with the quote.
When is resealing likely to be due?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and we’ll price the work to it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
What if the old mastic contains asbestos?
Asbestos removal isn’t part of our work. If old sealant is suspected, work stops until it’s tested in line with the dutyholder’s asbestos management.
Can you seal joints high up on a block?
It depends on the building. We agree access with you at quote stage so there are no surprises.
Frames, entrances and external joints in Chilworth
At about 68 miles from central London, Chilworth is within reach of the capital. Around the capital’s commuter belt, managing agents look after many blocks close to stations and town centres; their frame mastic often ages block-wide. Rainfall across the South East, Chilworth included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Outside work still depends on dry joints, while the elevations that take the most sun tend to show hardened mastic first.
If your remit includes a building such as Cantell School, frame and door mastic can be programmed for the holidays. For agents with blocks near Swaythling station (1.9 miles south-east of Chilworth), a block-wide mastic programme deals with frames, balconies and entrances in one go. Landlords with units on estates such as University of Southampton Science Park (to the west of Chilworth) can bring frame, door and external mastic across several units into one programme.

Should maintenance staff do it?
Some joints are best left to specialists: for example fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. 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.
