When something else is needed
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Failed window or door frames, which need a window contractor
- Misted or failed double-glazed units
- Masonry that has broken away beside the joint
If in doubt, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll say what we think.
What we seal
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- External wall and movement joints
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
- Balcony and threshold joints
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
Mastic sealing in East Boldre
Our clients include managing agents, property factors in Scotland, housing associations and landlords with block or commercial portfolios. A planned, building-by-building programme often works better than reacting to each complaint, with each block quoted and scheduled in turn. If you’re dealing with no planned programme for sealant and communal area joints that look neglected, we can put it right, on window and door perimeters on blocks, communal entrances and stairwells and external wall and movement joints alike. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, in East Boldre it comes down to the same thing: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Rural conversions near places like East Boldre often set modern frames into older stone, flint or brick. Perimeter mastic there has to grip an uneven face and suit the building’s character.
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 are clear about what is covered before work starts.

What we are called out for in East Boldre
We often find joints filled solid with no backing rod so the mastic is bonded on three sides. It can’t stretch properly and it tears.
Things that normally lead to an enquiry:
- Patchy repairs in mismatched sealant
- Damp patches beside frames
- Mastic failing across several blocks on an estate
- Brittle perimeter mastic across a building
For a school such as Beaulieu Village Primary School, perimeter mastic on windows and doors is a holiday job.

Questions we are asked in East Boldre
Is East Boldre off your patch?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Does a coastal location like East Boldre affect which sealant is used?
It can. Coastal exposure works external joints harder than inland weather. We choose the product for the exposure, prime where the manufacturer requires it and size the joint for its movement.
How do you choose the sealant?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. Without one, the joint decides: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
What’s the quickest route to a quote?
It works in four steps: send details, receive a fixed quote, we carry out the work, and it’s guaranteed. Step one needs little more than photographs and a postcode.
What will the job cost?
It depends on the job: the volume of work, the access, the specified product and how it’s phased. Call for a fixed quote.
Can weather delay the job?
Outside, 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.
On site: what to expect
In a busy building, we agree a sequence with your contact so the disruption stays in one area at once. Each area is protected, prepared and sealed, then reopened once the sealant allows before we move to the next. For work around East Boldre, we aim to finish in one visit, so photographs and measurements up front really help. That way the right products come on the day.
- Each block or building is walked and the failed joints recorded with the likely cause.
- A fixed quote follows, split by block or building if that suits you.
- The sequence and the dates are fixed with you, giving you what you need to notify occupiers.
- Old sealant is stripped and each face prepared back to firm material.
- Backing rod and primer go in where the joint and the product need them, then new sealant is applied and tooled.
- Each building is checked on completion and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs

Advice
Looking after buildings in and around East Boldre
The sea is no more than about 3 miles from East Boldre. Blocks and commercial buildings facing the sea take the most weather on their window perimeters and external joints, and they deserve more regular inspection. East Boldre sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Outside work still depends on dry joints, and south- and west-facing elevations, which take the most sun and rain, often age first.
Historic properties like Beaulieu Palace House, 1.3 miles to the north-east of East Boldre, show the age of some local stock, where frame mastic must suit soft brick or stone. If you look after a block within reach of Beaulieu Road station (3.8 miles north-west of East Boldre), frame and balcony mastic can be renewed on one programme.

What the job involves on each surface
Communal areas
Communal areas stay in use while we work. We work in sections so access is never blocked.
External movement joints
Brickwork, blockwork and panel joints let a building move. Once that sealant goes, rain can reach the wall.
Leave it or put it right?
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 East Boldre 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.
