Mastic sealing in Fareham Common, done properly
Different joints need different sealants. Low-modulus neutral-cure silicone suits many window perimeters and external movement joints, while hybrid polymer sealants grip many materials and are often paintable, and colours are confirmed for whichever product is used. We work on window and door perimeters on blocks, external wall and movement joints and communal kitchens and washrooms, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are estate-wide sealant that is simply worn out and repeated reactive repairs to the same buildings. Most enquiries from Fareham Common start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
Older buildings and conversions around places like Fareham Common mix old masonry with newer frames. The mastic there needs to suit both surfaces.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

How the quote is worked out
The price varies from site to site. It mainly depends on:
- The product specified
- Phasing around occupants
- Travel to remote or island sites
- Any access equipment needed
No two sites price the same: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.

Block-wide mastic in Fareham Common
The sea is no more than about 1 mile from Fareham Common. Blocks and commercial buildings facing the sea take the most weather on their window perimeters and external joints. Fareham Common is about 65 miles from central London. Within reach of London, blocks run by agents and associations are common around stations; their frame mastic often ages block-wide.
Churches, halls and community buildings such as Parish Church of St Peter and St Paul are looked after by trustees and committees like any other owner, and their frames, doors and external joints need mastic renewed in time. Site managers at schools like Wykeham House School can fit frame mastic into the summer works. If you own or manage units on a site such as Broadcut Retail Park, less than half a mile to the north of Fareham Common, failed mastic on frames, door surrounds and external joints can be dealt with unit by unit.

Aftercare for building managers
To get the most from the new sealant:
- List the paperwork your organisation requires when you send details
- Ask residents or tenants to report leaks and draughts early
- Look at the sunniest and most exposed elevations first
- Protect low-level joints in entrances
Keep bins, bikes and deliveries away from low-level joints where you can. Damage at low level is the most common reason communal joints fail early.
Failed mastic often goes unnoticed until heavy rain finds it. Acting at the first signs keeps it a straightforward reseal and the complaints that come with it.
Questions we are asked in Fareham Common
Can being near the sea in Fareham Common affect the sealant we need?
It can. Wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt air are harder on external joints. We check the specified product suits the exposure and pay close attention to preparation.
Is Broadcut Retail Park, near Fareham Common, within your area?
Yes, sites like Broadcut Retail Park are within our area, along with the rest of Fareham Common. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.
Do you work with property factors and landlords?
Yes. Managing agents, property factors in Scotland, housing associations and landlords with block or commercial portfolios are our main clients for this work, and we quote building by building or as a programme.
Will you quote for a small job?
Whatever the size, the process is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed.
Which sealant will you use?
The specification comes first, if there is one. Without one, the joint decides: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
What guarantee do you give on resealing?
Every building we reseal has a 12-month guarantee. It covers our workmanship, not later building movement, damage or frame failures.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
For external joints, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Inside work is seldom held up.

Owners, agents and contractors
We work for building owners and managing agents on everything from one building to a spread of sites. Several sites can go on one quote, which keeps the paperwork simple.
Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients book us directly too. The work is planned around how the building runs, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.
What we can’t put right
Honesty saves time and money. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- Masonry that has broken away beside the joint
- Leaks from above rather than through a joint
- Materials that need asbestos testing before work
If in doubt, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we will say what we think before you book.
What we seal
- External wall and movement joints
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- Balcony and threshold joints
When to bring in a specialist
Certain joints really need a specialist: for instance fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong normally costs more in the end than doing them right.
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but larger jobs are different: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
