How we handle mastic sealing in Curbridge
Different joints need different sealants. Low-modulus neutral-cure silicone suits many window perimeters and external movement joints, and MS polymer sealants stick well to many substrates and often take paint, and colours are confirmed for whichever product is used. Most enquiries involve no planned programme for sealant and a mix of products and colours from past repairs, on balcony and threshold joints, shopfronts below residential blocks and external wall and movement joints. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Curbridge from the first photographs to the final walk-round, whether it’s one building or several.
Older buildings and conversions around places like Curbridge mix old masonry with newer frames. The mastic there needs to suit both surfaces.
Work we carry out comes with a 12-month guarantee. Should something we installed fail, phone 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll come back to it.

What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- Occupiers reporting cold air round windows
- Failed external movement joints
- No planned programme for sealant
- A mix of products and colours from past repairs

Should maintenance staff do it?
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. The usual problems come from preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
Redoing a failed joint typically costs more than getting it right at the outset, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
Cost factors for mastic joints
To price the job, we consider:
- The total length or number of joints
- Which sealant the job calls for
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Access and working height
Every site prices differently: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.
What we need to price the job
It doesn’t need to be a full survey. A few details are enough to get going:
- The product your specification calls for
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- Any dates the work must fit around
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints and a fixed quote comes back to you. If the job needs a look first, we’ll arrange a site visit.
Blocks and managed buildings in Curbridge
Curbridge is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. External mastic still waits for dry faces and the right temperature, and south- and west-facing elevations, which take the most sun and rain, often age first. At about 65 miles from central London, Curbridge is within reach of the capital. Managed blocks of flats are a big part of commuter-belt property, and window and balcony mastic on them tends to age at the same rate.
If you look after a block within reach of Botley station, which lies north-west of Curbridge, frame and balcony mastic can be renewed on one programme.
Curbridge is about 3 miles east of Hedge End, in Hampshire. Curbridge sits inside our coverage and the rest of Hampshire, with the same fixed quotes and 12-month guarantee as everywhere else. 723 places across Hampshire fall within our area, Curbridge among them.

Common questions from Curbridge clients
Is Curbridge too far out for you?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. London and every South East county are within our area. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Do you work for managing agents with blocks near Botley station?
Yes, we work for agents, landlords and housing associations with blocks of every size. Photos of each elevation help us quote accurately.
Can you take on resealing for a block portfolio?
Yes. Most of our mastic sealing is for agents, factors, housing associations and portfolio landlords, and we quote building by building or as a programme.
Do you check for asbestos in old sealant?
In older buildings, old mastic can contain asbestos. We ask for the asbestos register or survey before work starts and suspect material is tested first.
How do you handle work on occupied blocks?
We plan around people living or working in the building. Dates and areas are agreed with you so residents or tenants can be told and communal access is kept open.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to, and we raise anything unclear before work begins.
How many days will you need on site?
The duration is planned around your programme and the access we are given. We’ll give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
Owners, agents and contractors
Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor. We work to your programme, your specification and your site rules.
Agents, factors and owners’ representatives all follow the same route: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed. We can agree access arrangements and keyholder contacts beforehand.
Leave it or put it right?
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. In a smaller place such as Curbridge, getting a contractor back for a second visit takes time, so it’s worth dealing with every failing joint at once.
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.
Why appoint us
- Standard and matched colours in many product ranges
- Products installed to the manufacturer’s instructions
- Colours chosen to suit frames, cladding or finishes where possible
- Failed material removed, not covered up
Our process
We follow your site rules from the start: sign-in, induction and whatever permit system the building uses.
