Surface by surface
Tenement and older buildings
Older buildings, including Scotland’s sandstone tenements, have their own joint details. We look at the substrate before choosing a sealant.
Planned maintenance
Mastic wears out like any building component; how fast comes down to movement, weather, UV and the product. Inspecting joints regularly keeps programmes on track.
About our mastic sealing in Drayton
On a residential block, the work happens around people’s lives. Dates, areas and the order of work are agreed with you in advance, giving you what you need to notify residents. Communal entrances and stairs stay usable while we work. Site teams most often ask us about old repairs sealed over failed mastic and occupiers reporting cold air round windows, on balcony and threshold joints, communal entrances and stairwells and shopfronts below residential blocks.

Around smaller places like Drayton, 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.

Planned mastic for Drayton portfolios
Drayton is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. Even so, frame mastic only goes on in dry, workable conditions, and the sunniest, most exposed sides of a building normally need attention first. Drayton is about 54 miles from central London. Around the capital’s commuter belt, managing agents look after many blocks close to stations and town centres.
Buildings close to stations like Petersfield station (4.7 miles east of Drayton) are often flats over shops, with frame mastic to keep sound. Trustees of buildings like Church of All Saints can bring frame and external mastic into a planned maintenance list.
Drayton is about 5 miles west of Petersfield, in Hampshire. If you’re looking for mastic sealing in Drayton, we can help. We work across 723 places in Hampshire, large and small. Sites around Portsmouth have their own page, roughly 14 miles from Drayton.

What we can’t put right
Part of a good diagnosis is knowing where sealant stops. You’ll hear from us if the cause turns out to be any of the following:
- Cracked or crumbling render, brick or stone at the joint edges (we will tell you if so)
- Misted or failed double-glazed units
- Asbestos-containing sealant, which we don’t remove
Not sure which it is? You can call 01277 525 020 or email us and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
- External wall and movement joints
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
- Balcony and threshold joints
Diagnose, treat, sign off
When we get to site, we sign in, go through any site induction and check how permits are handled. Everything around the joints gets protected before any cutting starts, and the work typically takes one or more days per building, depending on the joint lengths and the access. For work around Drayton, we aim to finish in one visit, so we ask for photographs and rough sizes first. That way the right products come on the day.
- First we look at the mastic on each building and note what needs replacing.
- You get a fixed quote, priced per building where that helps your budgeting.
- The programme is fixed with you, including dates you can pass on to residents or tenants.
- Old sealant is stripped and each face prepared back to firm material.
- Deep joints get backing rod, faces are primed if the manufacturer specifies it, then the joint is sealed and tooled.
- Each building is checked on completion and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Getting the site ready
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- Send your site hours and access windows
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints

Cost factors for mastic joints
We price every job individually. The things that drive the figure:
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- The site’s rules and procedures
- How much there is to seal
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits.
What to include in your enquiry
To price the job accurately, we need to understand the site. Send us:
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- Specification clauses that apply
- The site address and postcode
- The type of building and who uses it
A good quote starts with a clear picture: the joints involved, quantities, access and the product called for. Send what you have, and we will arrange a site visit if anything is unclear.
Questions we are asked in Drayton
Will you price a mastic programme across our Drayton portfolio?
Yes. Planned programmes across a building, block or estate are a core part of this service. Residents are given notice through you, and the work moves building by building.
We manage a building near Petersfield station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for agents, landlords and housing associations with blocks of every size. Send the address, photographs of the elevations and your access arrangements, and we will give a fixed quote.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
Is mastic sealing guaranteed?
Every building we reseal has a 12-month guarantee. It covers our workmanship, not later building movement, damage or frame failures.
Is Drayton in your area?
Yes. We cover Drayton and the rest of Hampshire. To discuss a job, phone 01277 525 020 or email us.
How do you handle work on occupied blocks?
Occupiers stay in the building throughout. If any flats or units need access, we’ll tell you in advance so it can be arranged.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
For external joints, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Internal work is rarely affected.
Doing it in-house
Certain joints really need a specialist: for instance fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong typically costs more in the end than doing them right.
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but larger jobs are different: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
