How we handle mastic sealing in Chilworth Old Village
For over 20 years we have resealed joints for owners, agents and landlords. Every applicator holds a CSCS card and we hold public liability insurance. Resealed mastic joints in Chilworth Old Village carry our 12-month guarantee. We work on communal entrances and stairwells, communal kitchens and washrooms and shopfronts below residential blocks, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are cracked, hardened mastic round windows on a block and repeated reactive repairs to the same buildings. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: on jobs in Chilworth Old Village, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Around smaller places like Chilworth Old Village, 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.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not 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 the job involves on each surface
Commercial and mixed-use buildings
Commercial occupiers normally stay open during the work so the work is phased.
External movement joints
External movement joints take up expansion and contraction. Once that sealant goes, rain can reach the wall.
What we can’t put right
Part of a good diagnosis is knowing where sealant stops. We will tell you if the real problem is one of these:
- Frames that are rotten, warped or broken
- Roof leaks, gutters or failed flashings that aren’t sealant joints
- Glazing that needs replacing
If in doubt, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will say what we think before you book.

What do you charge?
Each job is quoted on its own details. For yours, ring 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.
How long does a job like this take?
The duration is planned around your programme and the access we’re given. We’ll give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
When is resealing likely to be due?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to, and any queries are raised before we start.
What about access for upper-floor joints?
We talk through access for each building when we quote. Tell us the building height and any access already in place and we’ll confirm the approach in the quote.

Site managers at schools like North Baddesley Junior School can fit frame mastic into the summer works. Student blocks close to universities like University of Southampton, 2.9 miles to the south of Chilworth Old Village, are easiest to work on between tenancies.

General trades versus a specialist
The visible bead is only part of the job. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are easy to get wrong without experience.
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint.
