Mastic sealing across Eastrop
Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Some joints are best left to specialists: for instance fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
Mastic sealing in Eastrop
Older blocks and commercial buildings can have mastic that contains asbestos. Before we disturb it, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey, and work stops for testing if there’s any doubt. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials. The enquiries we see most involve draughts at frames across a block and leaks at window and door perimeters, on communal kitchens and washrooms, balcony and threshold joints and external wall and movement joints. For commercial sealant work in Eastrop, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
Owners with buildings around smaller places like Eastrop often group mastic work so one visit covers several properties. One quote can cover a whole list of addresses.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

What we can’t put right
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- Water coming in from the roof or rainwater goods
- Masonry that has broken away beside the joint
- Glazing that needs replacing
If in doubt, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email us and we will say what we think.

Eastrop: questions and answers
Will you take on a block within reach of Basingstoke station?
Yes. Blocks of any size are within what we do. Send the address, photos of the elevations and your access arrangements, and we will give a fixed quote.
Does your area include sites such as Daneshill East Industrial Estate, near Eastrop?
Yes, sites like Daneshill East Industrial Estate are within our area, along with the rest of Eastrop. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No, never. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so everything comes out first.
How do you choose the sealant?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and we will price the work to it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
Can you seal joints high up on a block?
Every block is different. We agree access with you at quote stage so the fixed quote reflects it.
How long does a job like this take?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. We’ll give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
Building owners, agents and FMs in Eastrop
Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients come to us directly as well. We plan around the way the building is used, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.
Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor. Programme, specification and site rules come first, with CSCS-carded applicators on site.
Do you need mastic sealing in Eastrop?
Buildings move with temperature and moisture, and every joint has to stretch and squeeze with them. A joint that was too narrow, too thin or the wrong product can’t cope and fails early.
Most enquiries start with something like this:
- Communal area joints that look neglected
- Estate-wide sealant that is simply worn out
- Movement joints with sealant missing
- Brittle perimeter mastic across a building
Landlords with units on estates such as Daneshill East Industrial Estate, 1 mile to the north-east of Eastrop, can bring frame, door and external mastic across several units into one programme.
What your quote should include
- How long is the guarantee, and what does it include?
- Their approach to joint depth and backing
- Proof of insurance
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
On site: what to expect
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 anything is cut or cleaned, with the work itself usually taking one or more days per building, depending on the joint lengths and the access. What matters most for a job in Eastrop is a clear list of what needs doing, so send photographs of each area. You will then get a fixed price for the work.
- Each block or building is walked and the failed joints recorded with the likely cause.
- We send a fixed quote that sets out the joints, the products and the programme.
- Dates, areas and access are agreed so residents or tenants can be told in advance.
- Failed mastic is removed and the faces taken back to sound, dry material.
- Deep joints get backing rod, faces are primed if the manufacturer specifies it, then the joint is sealed and tooled.
- Completed joints are inspected and carry a 12-month workmanship guarantee.
What we need from you
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use

Planned mastic for Eastrop portfolios
Eastrop 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. Eastrop has two care or nursing homes no more than 2 miles away. Owners of care premises can bring window and door mastic into a phased programme planned around the home.
For a school such as The Costello School, perimeter mastic on windows and doors is a holiday job. If you look after a block within reach of Basingstoke station, under half a mile to the north-west of Eastrop, frame and balcony mastic can be renewed on one programme.

Maintenance after handover
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. We suggest:
- Include mastic in your cyclical inspections
- Reduce knocks to communal area joints
- Have the asbestos survey to hand for older buildings
- Avoid piecemeal callouts where you can
Log the date and extent of the resealing for each block. It helps plan the next round and shows what was done.
Budgets are easier to plan when sealant is part of planned maintenance. A programme can start with the worst buildings and work down the list.
