What sealant work can’t fix
Part of a good diagnosis is knowing where sealant stops. You’ll hear from us if the cause turns out to be one of these:
- Roof leaks, gutters or failed flashings that aren’t sealant joints
- Misted or failed double-glazed units
- Failed window or door frames, which need a window contractor
If you’re not sure, just speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
- External wall and movement joints
- Balcony and threshold joints
Mastic sealing for commercial buildings in Eling
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 if it’s suspected, work stops until it’s tested. Removing asbestos-containing material isn’t something we do. If you have movement joints with sealant missing and brittle perimeter mastic across a building, we can put it right, on communal entrances and stairwells, external wall and movement joints and window and door perimeters on blocks alike. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Eling tend to want the same three things: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Places the size of Eling usually have some housing association stock, small blocks and mixed-use buildings. Their window perimeters and external joints need renewing as the mastic ages.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

Signs you need mastic sealing in Eling
Topping up old mastic is a common shortcut. New silicone has nothing to grip on old silicone, so these repairs rarely last.
Most enquiries start with something like this:
- Cracked, hardened mastic round windows on a block
- The same joint failures repeated across a portfolio
- Damp patches beside frames
- Communal area joints that look neglected
If your remit includes a building such as Eling Infant School and Nursery, frame and door mastic can be programmed for the holidays.
What your quote should include
- How the existing material will be dealt with
- Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
When to bring in a specialist
Some joints are best left to specialists: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. Getting these wrong normally costs more in the end than doing them right.
The visible bead is only part of the job. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are where general trades tend to cut corners.
Cost factors for mastic joints
Quotes vary with the job. Expect it to depend on:
- Joint width, depth and condition
- The product specified
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Phasing around occupants
What a job costs comes down to how many linear metres there are, how much old material needs removing and the access. Call for a fixed quote once you have the details.
Sending details for a quote
However big the job, the same details help:
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
A handful of photographs and a postcode is the fastest way to a quote. Upload them with the quote form, or give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email the details over to discuss it first.

Do you work for managing agents with blocks near Totton station?
Yes, we work for agents, landlords and housing associations with blocks of every size. Give us the building’s details and say how residents are notified, and we’ll quote and plan to suit.
Does the weather affect the work?
For external joints, 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.

Blocks and managed buildings in Eling
Eling lies within about 1 mile of the sea. For owners and agents with buildings near the sea, exposed elevations are where frame mastic fails first, and they deserve more regular inspection. Eling is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. Even so, frame mastic only goes on in dry, workable conditions, while the elevations that take the most sun tend to show hardened mastic first.
For agents with blocks near Totton station, which lies north of Eling, a block-wide mastic programme deals with frames, balconies and entrances in one go. Older community buildings, Church of St Mary among them, often have frames of mixed ages whose mastic varies.

Why act early in Eling
Reacting to every complaint means sending someone out block by block. Planned resealing covers a whole building or estate in one go and is simpler to manage and budget. A failed joint lets water into a building whatever its size. Early resealing avoids the damage that follows a leak.
