What sealant work can’t fix
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Substrate edges that need repairing first
- Old mastic suspected of containing asbestos, which must be tested and dealt with by a specialist first
- Glazing that needs replacing
If in doubt, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll say what we think.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
- Balcony and threshold joints
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
- External wall and movement joints
About our mastic sealing in Elson
For over 20 years we have resealed joints for owners, agents and landlords. Our applicators are CSCS-carded, and the work is backed by public liability insurance. Each building we complete carries a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. We work on communal kitchens and washrooms, shopfronts below residential blocks and communal entrances and stairwells, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are no planned programme for sealant and estate-wide sealant that is simply worn out. Whoever orders the work in Elson, the brief is normally the same: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
In a smaller place such as Elson, landlords and agents tend to look after small blocks, flats over shops, sheltered housing and commercial units. Their window perimeters and external joints need renewing as the mastic ages.
We stand behind the joints we seal: 12 months, guaranteed. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant.

After the work
After handover, these steps help:
- Check the asbestos register before any old mastic is disturbed
- Track which buildings were done and when
- Protect low-level joints in entrances
- Start inspections with the most exposed faces
Ask residents or tenants to report draughts or leaks round windows early. Early reports catch failures before damage spreads.
Planned resealing is easier to budget than emergency repairs. We can quote buildings in priority order and work down the list.
Should maintenance staff do it?
Redoing a failed joint usually costs more than getting it right at the outset, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
Questions we’re asked in Elson
Will you take on a block within reach of Portsmouth Harbour station?
Yes, and several blocks can go on one quote. We work to your notice and access arrangements.
Can you work in a care home near Elson with residents in?
Yes, with the manager deciding the order and timing of rooms. Tell us about any infection-control or safeguarding requirements and we will work to them.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
How many days will you need on site?
It depends on the scope, but the work normally takes anything from a day to a few weeks, depending on the number of buildings and joints. For bigger or phased jobs, we’ll set out a timescale with the quote.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to, and any queries are raised before we start.
Do you supply RAMS and insurance details?
We are CHAS accredited, a Constructionline member and carry public liability insurance. For specific documents, tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote.
Do you do block-wide mastic programmes?
We can. We survey and price each building, then work through them in order starting wherever is most urgent.
On site: what to expect
When we get to site, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before anything is cut or cleaned, and the work usually takes one or more days per building, depending on the joint lengths and the access. For a job in Elson, the main thing is a clear picture of the work. You will then get a fixed price for the work.

For owners and agents in Elson
With the shore within about 1 mile, Elson counts as a coastal location. For owners and agents with buildings near the sea, exposed elevations are where frame mastic fails first, and they deserve more regular inspection. Five care or nursing homes sit less than 2 miles from Elson. For owners and operators of care buildings, window perimeters and external joints are best renewed in planned phases around residents.
Schools and community buildings such as Elson Infant School need frame and external mastic kept sound like any building. Churches, halls and community buildings such as Church of St Thomas are looked after by trustees and committees like any other owner, and their frames, doors and external joints need mastic renewed in time. Property owners at sites such as Brockhurst Gate Retail Park (0.5 miles north-west of Elson) can have mastic renewed between lettings.

Why it’s worth doing now in Elson
Sealing over failed mastic looks tidy for a while. It won’t grip the old sealant and soon comes away. Full removal and proper preparation is what lasts. Small buildings around Elson suffer from failed joints as much as large ones. Catching it early means a reseal rather than repairs.
The price depends on the quantity of joints, how much old material needs removing and how the joints are reached. Call for a quote when you are ready.
