Mastic sealing in Durrants
In buildings from before 2000, some old mastics contain asbestos. Before we disturb it, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey and if it’s suspected, work stops until it’s tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials. We work on window and door perimeters on blocks, external wall and movement joints and shopfronts below residential blocks, and what we’re called in for most is draught complaints from residents or tenants and damp patches beside frames. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Durrants from the first photos to the final walk-round, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
Around smaller places like Durrants, older walls fitted with newer windows are a familiar sight. Perimeter mastic there has to grip an uneven face and suit the building’s character.
We stand by our work: 12 months, guaranteed. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant, and if something we did falls short, we return to it.

Should maintenance staff do it?
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint, which is what makes a joint last.
There’s also the paperwork. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and we’ll confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
What sealant work can’t fix
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Cracked or crumbling render, brick or stone at the joint edges (we will tell you if so)
- Glazing that needs replacing
- Failed window or door frames, which need a window contractor
If you are not sure, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Different surfaces, different methods
External movement joints
Brickwork, blockwork and panel joints let a building move. Failed sealant in a movement joint lets water in.
Commercial and mixed-use buildings
Where retail and residential share a building, so phasing has to suit both. We plan around the site hours and access windows you give us.
Our process
Occupied buildings need a little choreography. The work area is signed and kept contained, with routes through the building left open and move on in phases so staff and visitors can carry on around us. For a building around Durrants, tell us how to find it and who will meet us. Send that with the details and we’ll confirm the plan with the quote.
- First comes a look at the joints and, for older buildings, the asbestos records.
- The products and programme are set out in a fixed quote.
- Failed mastic is removed completely.
- The joints are prepared and resealed with the right product.
- We finish each building before moving to the next.
Preparing the site
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Make sure the joints can be reached

Frames, entrances and external joints in Durrants
With the shore within about 3 miles, Durrants counts as a coastal location. On buildings near the shore, the side facing the weather usually needs its mastic renewed first, and they deserve more regular inspection. Durrants sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. 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.
For agents with blocks near Rowlands Castle station, 0.9 miles to the north-east of Durrants, a block-wide mastic programme deals with frames, balconies and entrances in one go. With historic buildings such as Warblington Castle (to the south of Durrants) in the wider area, owners of older properties around Durrants should expect mastic to need a product that suits old masonry. Older community buildings, St John the Baptist among them, often have frames of mixed ages whose mastic varies.

Common questions from Durrants clients
Can you quote for a block close to Rowlands Castle station?
Yes. Blocks of any size are within what we do. Send the address, photos of the elevations and your access arrangements, and we’ll give a fixed quote.
Does the sea air around Durrants change the choice of sealant?
It can. Wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt air are harder on external joints. Product choice and preparation matter more, and sea-facing elevations are worth inspecting more often.
Do you work in Durrants?
Yes. Durrants falls within our area, and you can call 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos to get started.
How long does a typical visit take?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. We will give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
Do you do block-wide mastic programmes?
Yes. We survey and price each building, then work through them in order, and the programme can start with the worst.
Which sealant will you use?
The specification comes first, if there is one. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
What about access for upper-floor joints?
It depends on the building. We agree access with you at quote stage so the fixed quote reflects it.
Cost factors for mastic joints
A fixed quote reflects the actual work. It takes account of:
- The total length or number of joints
- Distance, for remote addresses
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- The site’s rules and procedures
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.
Sending details for a quote
A good diagnosis starts with the right details. Tell us:
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- Your programme or deadline
- What the building is and how it’s used
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we will price against exactly what is specified. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photos and a few notes.
Building owners, agents and FMs in Durrants
FMs need a contractor who is easy to get on site. Let us know the documents you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm them with the quote.
