About our mastic sealing in Criddlestyle
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. Each building we complete carries a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. Site teams most often ask us about open joints in brickwork or panels and cracked, hardened mastic round windows on a block, across shopfronts below residential blocks, balcony and threshold joints and communal entrances and stairwells. Searching for sealant specialists in Criddlestyle? We’ve been sealing commercial buildings since 2005.
Owners and agents with buildings around smaller places such as Criddlestyle tend to manage small terraces of association properties, converted barns and commercial units. Mastic around frames and on external joints wears out in time, whatever the building.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

Block-wide mastic in Criddlestyle
Criddlestyle is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. External mastic still waits for dry faces and the right temperature, and elevations facing the sun and the prevailing weather are typically where frame mastic ages first.
For owners of several units at places like Arch Farm Industrial Estate, 1.3 miles to the north-west of Criddlestyle, one programme can deal with frame and external mastic across the lot. Historic properties like Breamore House (to the north of Criddlestyle) show the age of some local stock, where frame mastic must suit soft brick or stone. Older community buildings, St Giles among them, often have frames of mixed ages whose mastic varies.

How the job changes by surface
Planned maintenance
Adding mastic to planned maintenance avoids reactive repairs and keeps budgets predictable.
Commercial and mixed-use buildings
Mixed-use buildings combine shops below with flats or offices above the programme has to suit everyone. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them.
Why deal with it now?
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. Older rural buildings around Criddlestyle 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.
Pricing mastic joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access, and any specification that applies. Call for a quote.

Your questions answered
Can you work at a site such as Arch Farm Industrial Estate, by Criddlestyle?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Criddlestyle, Arch Farm Industrial Estate among them, are all within reach. To start, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email the details over with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Do you take on block-wide or estate-wide mastic work in Criddlestyle?
Yes. Portfolio-wide programmes are a regular request. We can phase the programme to suit your budgets and notice periods.
How long will the new sealant last?
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 inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
Who decides which product is used?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
Will residents or tenants be disturbed?
The work is planned around occupiers. Dates and areas are agreed with you so residents or tenants can be told, and entrances stay in use.
Is mastic sealing guaranteed?
There is a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, backed by public liability insurance.
Can you take on resealing for a block portfolio?
Yes. Managing agents, property factors in Scotland, housing associations and landlords with block or commercial portfolios are our main clients for this work, and we quote building by building or as a programme.
For managing agents and facilities managers
Facilities managers want contractors who arrive with the paperwork sorted. Let us know the documents you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
We take on planned maintenance as well as one-off repairs: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. Sites in Criddlestyle can sit alongside others in a wider programme across Hampshire.
Keeping the joints sound
Regular inspection catches problems early. Specifically:
- Start inspections with the most exposed faces
- Log resealing dates block by block
- Plan resealing building by building rather than complaint by complaint
- Make it easy for occupiers to report draughts
Encourage occupiers to report water or draughts at frames. A quick report keeps a small repair small.
Budgets are easier to plan when sealant is part of planned maintenance. A programme can start with the worst buildings and work down the list.
On site: what to expect
On arrival, we sign in, go through any site induction and check how permits are handled. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before anything is cut or cleaned, with the work itself typically taking a few days for most blocks, with larger programmes scheduled building by building. Rural sites near Criddlestyle may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Send that with the details and we’ll confirm the plan with the quote.
- Each block or building is walked and the failed joints recorded with the likely cause.
- We send a fixed quote that sets out the joints, the products and the programme.
- The programme is fixed with you, including dates you can pass on to residents or tenants.
- Failed mastic is removed and the faces taken back to sound, dry material.
- Backing rod and primer go in as the joint requires, then the new bead is placed and tooled.
- Completed joints are inspected and carry a 12-month workmanship guarantee.
Getting the site ready

Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we will price the work to it. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photos and a few notes.
Advice
Doing it in-house
Paperwork matters too. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
Certain joints really need a specialist: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
