Send drawings, photos or a joint schedule, or tell us about the site, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Different surfaces, different methods
External movement joints
Brickwork, blockwork and panel joints let a building move. Once that sealant goes, rain can reach the wall.
Window and door perimeters on blocks
Perimeter joints on blocks are best done elevation by elevation or block by block. Access is agreed with you before the quote is fixed.
Mastic sealing in Dora's Green
Across Dora's Green and the rest of Hampshire, we work the same way: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed. A list of buildings, a few photographs and approximate joint numbers are enough for a quick quote, and site visits can be arranged. We work on communal kitchens and washrooms, communal entrances and stairwells and shopfronts below residential blocks, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are draughts at frames across a block and window mastic that has split and shrunk. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, in Dora's Green it comes down to the same thing: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Owners and agents with buildings around smaller places such as Dora's Green tend to manage small terraces of association properties, converted barns and commercial units. Frame and wall-joint mastic on all of them ages and hardens.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work. Should something we installed fail, phone 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll come back to it.

Mastic sealing in Dora's Green: the local picture
Dora's Green has three care or nursing homes no more than 2 miles away. For owners and operators of care buildings, window perimeters and external joints are best renewed in planned phases around residents. Central London is about 37 miles from Dora's Green. Managed blocks of flats are a big part of commuter-belt property.
Buildings close to stations like Farnham station, 2.3 miles to the south-east of Dora's Green, are often flats over shops, with frame mastic to keep sound. For a school such as Crondall Primary School, perimeter mastic on windows and doors is a holiday job.

What sets the cost
The price varies from site to site. Expect it to depend on:
- How accessible the joints are
- The size and state of each joint
- How much there is to seal
- Whether the work must be split into stages
What a job costs comes down to how many linear metres there are, what has to come out first and the access. Call for a quote once you have the details.
Sending details for a quote
There’s no need for a formal survey. These details are enough to start:
- The product your specification calls for
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- Clear photographs of the problem areas
For a fixed quote, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings. Our quote form is another easy route.
Looking after the joints
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Keep a record of when each building was resealed
- Ask residents or tenants to report leaks and draughts early
- Mention RAMS, insurance or CSCS requirements up front
- Start inspections with the most exposed faces
Log the date and extent of the resealing for each block. It helps plan the next round and gives you a history.
Leaks at window perimeters spoil finishes and can affect frames. Early resealing is far simpler than repairs inside.
Signs you need mastic sealing in Dora's Green
Much failed sealant was laid on dirty, dusty or damp surfaces. Where the faces weren’t cleaned or primed as specified, the bead peels off one side.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Occupiers reporting cold air round windows
- No planned programme for sealant
- Failed external movement joints
- A mix of products and colours from past repairs
If you manage student housing near a university such as University for the Creative Arts, 1.6 miles to the south-east of Dora's Green, the summer turnaround is the time for mastic.
Questions to ask before you book
- The named product and why it was chosen
- How long is the guarantee, and what does it include?
- How they handle RAMS and site documents
- How joint depth will be controlled
Why deal with it now?
Reacting to every complaint means sending someone out block by block. A planned programme treats each building once and is simpler to manage and budget. Older rural buildings around Dora's Green 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.
The specified product makes a difference, and so does the preparation, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
Why us?
- Products installed to the manufacturer’s instructions
- Fixed quotes based on photographs, drawings or a visit
- Colour agreed before work starts
- 12 months’ guarantee on every job
On site: what to expect
Diagnose, treat, sign off: every visit follows that pattern. First comes an inspection and agreement on scope, then we prepare and seal each joint with the specified product, and we finish with a walk round so the work can be signed off. Jobs in and around smaller places like Dora's Green are normally planned as a single visit, so we ask for photographs and rough sizes first. That way the right products come on the day.
- We check the asbestos register for older buildings and look at the joints.
- The products and programme are set out in a fixed quote.
- We strip out the old sealant.
- Joint faces are cleaned, backed and resealed.
- We finish each building before moving to the next.
Preparing the site
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Flag any permit to work we’ll need
- Point out any areas we must not close
Getting a fixed quote
Send us photos, drawings or a joint schedule and a fixed quote comes back to you. If the job needs a look first, we will arrange a site visit.

Common questions from Dora's Green clients
Do you work for managing agents with blocks near Farnham station?
Yes. Blocks of any size are within what we do. Send the address, photographs of the elevations and your access arrangements, and we will give a fixed quote.
Is Dora's Green off your patch?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. London and every South East county are within our area. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
How soon can the area be used again?
That comes down to the sealant and the temperature. Some products skin over quickly but need longer to cure fully, so we’ll confirm the curing time on the day.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance.
Can you reseal a whole block or estate?
We can. We survey and price each building, then work through them in order, and the programme can start with the worst.
What guarantee do you give on resealing?
Every building we reseal has a 12-month guarantee. It applies to our workmanship rather than damage or problems with the frames.
Can weather delay the job?
For external joints, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Internal work is rarely affected.
