Mastic sealing in Emery Down
Across Emery Down and the rest of Hampshire, we work the same way: you send details, we return a fixed quote, the joints are resealed and the 12-month guarantee follows. A list of buildings, a few photos and approximate joint numbers are enough for a quick quote or we can visit. We work on balcony and threshold joints, shopfronts below residential blocks and communal entrances and stairwells, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are the same joint failures repeated across a portfolio and patchy repairs in mismatched sealant. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Emery Down? We’ve been sealing commercial buildings since 2005.
Around smaller places like Emery Down, older walls fitted with newer windows are a familiar sight. Perimeter mastic there has to grip an uneven face and suit the building’s character.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and the quote explains what it covers.

Why act early in Emery Down
Failed perimeter mastic lets cold air in around frames and the windows typically get the blame. In many cases, new perimeter sealant deals with it where the frames themselves are sound. Converted and older buildings near places like Emery Down tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. A sealant with the right movement capability, correctly sized, lasts far better.
We don’t publish prices, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. For a fixed figure, call for a quote.

After the work
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Share these points with them:
- Plan resealing building by building rather than complaint by complaint
- Track which buildings were done and when
- Start inspections with the most exposed faces
- Protect low-level joints in entrances
Include sealant in planned building inspections. Watch for splits, open gaps, hard or chalky surfaces and mastic pulling away, and note the building and elevation.
One failed perimeter usually means others on the same building are close, so it pays to look at the whole elevation. A planned reseal saves repeated visits.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
There’s also the paperwork. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and we’ll confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but larger jobs are different: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
Planned mastic for Emery Down portfolios
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. 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.
Churches, halls and community buildings such as Christ Church are looked after by trustees and committees like any other owner, and their frames, doors and external joints need mastic renewed in time. Schools and community buildings such as St Michael and All Angels CofE Infant School need frame and external mastic kept sound like any building.

Advice
When to call us in Emery Down
We often find joints filled solid with no backing rod, so the mastic is glued to the joint bottom too. That three-sided adhesion stops it stretching and splits as the building moves.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Complaints coming in block by block
- Brittle perimeter mastic across a building
- Communal area joints that look neglected
- Estate-wide sealant that is simply worn out
Blocks of flats and mixed-use buildings often cluster around stations such as Ashurst New Forest station, 2.9 miles to the north-east of Emery Down, and their window and balcony mastic tends to age at the same rate across a building.

Emery Down: questions and answers
Do you take on block-wide or estate-wide mastic work in Emery Down?
Yes, we quote for single buildings and for programmes across several blocks. We can phase the programme to suit your budgets and notice periods.
Can you quote for a block close to Ashurst New Forest station?

Which sealant will you use?
The specification comes first, if there is one. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
Do you work with property factors and landlords?
Yes, block and estate work is a core part of what we do. Buildings are scheduled in turn so you can plan around it.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so everything comes out first.
How long does a typical visit take?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. We will give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
