About our mastic sealing in Ecchinswell
Blocks are lived in, so access and disruption have to be thought through. The sequence, the areas and the dates are settled with you so you can let residents know what is happening. Entrances and stairwells are kept in use while we work. We work on communal entrances and stairwells, shopfronts below residential blocks and balcony and threshold joints, and what we’re called in for most is draught complaints from residents or tenants and the same joint failures repeated across a portfolio. Most enquiries from Ecchinswell start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Rural conversions near places like Ecchinswell 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.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. The promise is simple: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

How the quote is worked out
A fixed quote reflects the actual work. It allows for:
- How accessible the joints are
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- The total length or number of joints
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.
Before you send an enquiry
Diagnosis starts before we arrive. Let us know:
- Clear photographs of the problem areas
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
Every quote starts with the facts: what’s there, how much of it, how we reach it and what’s specified. Send what you have, and we will arrange a site visit if anything is unclear.
Frames, entrances and external joints in Ecchinswell
Rainfall across the South East, Ecchinswell included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Outside mastic still needs a dry joint and the right temperature, and south- and west-facing elevations, which take the most sun and rain, often age first. Central London is about 53 miles from Ecchinswell. Within reach of London, blocks run by agents and associations are common around stations.
If your remit includes a building such as Ecchinswell and Sydmonton Church of England Primary School, frame and door mastic can be programmed for the holidays. Landlords with units on estates such as New Greenham Business Park (2.9 miles north of Ecchinswell) can bring frame, door and external mastic across several units into one programme.

How a job runs
Our CSCS-carded applicators arrive with the sealants, primers and backing rod the job calls for. Any old material is cut back to clean, sound faces, primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, and each bead is tooled to a neat concave finish. Rural sites near Ecchinswell may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Send that with the details and we will confirm the plan with the quote.
- 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.
- 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.
- Finished joints are looked over and the 12-month guarantee confirmed.
Getting the site ready

Related advice
When to call us in Ecchinswell
In communal areas, joints take knocks from bins, bikes, buggies and deliveries, with joints near the floor and around doors suffering most. Cleaning products add to the wear.
Things that typically lead to an enquiry:
- Mastic failing across several blocks on an estate
- Damp patches beside frames
- Brittle perimeter mastic across a building
- Patchy repairs in mismatched sealant
Blocks of flats and mixed-use buildings often cluster around stations such as Thatcham station (to the north of Ecchinswell) and their window and balcony mastic tends to age at the same rate across a building.
What your quote should include
- Proof of insurance
- How long is the guarantee, and what does it include?
- How joint depth will be controlled
- How they handle RAMS and site documents
Maintenance after handover
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. In particular:
- Check sealant joints during planned building inspections
- Keep bins and bikes away from communal door frames
- List the paperwork your organisation requires when you send details
- Track which buildings were done and when
Add mastic joints to your cyclical inspections. Check for splits, open joints, brittle mastic and lifting edges, and note the building and elevation.
Budgets are easier to plan when sealant is part of planned maintenance. We can quote buildings in priority order and work down the list.
What the job involves on each surface
Estate-wide resealing programmes
An estate of similar buildings suits a rolling programme. Each block is priced and scheduled in order.
Window and door perimeters on blocks
Blocks have a mix of frame materials, so the grade we pick has to bond to frame and wall alike. Colours are confirmed for the product used.

Common questions from Ecchinswell clients
Can you quote for a block close to Thatcham station?
Yes. Managing agents, landlords, property factors and housing associations are who this service is for. Send the address, photos of the elevations and your access arrangements, and we’ll give a fixed quote.
Will you take on work at estates like New Greenham Business Park, close to Ecchinswell?
Yes. We cover Ecchinswell and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as New Greenham Business Park. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Do you work for managing agents and housing associations?
We do. Most of our mastic sealing is for agents, factors, housing associations and portfolio landlords, and we quote building by building or as a programme.
How soon can the area be used again?
The product and site conditions decide that. Some take light use quickly, others need longer to cure, and we confirm it before leaving site.
How long does a typical visit take?
That varies with the scale of the job, though a typical visit normally takes a few days for most blocks, with larger programmes scheduled building by building. For bigger or phased jobs, we will set out a timescale with the quote.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and we’ll price the work to it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
Is Ecchinswell in your area?
Yes. We cover Ecchinswell and the rest of Hampshire. To discuss a job, phone 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.
When it isn’t the sealant
Honesty saves time and money. New sealant won’t cure:
- Frames that are rotten, warped or broken
- Water coming in from the roof or rainwater goods
- Asbestos-containing sealant, which we don’t remove
Not sure which it is? You can speak to us on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we will tell you honestly.
