Mastic sealing for commercial buildings in Farlington
Across Farlington and the rest of Portsmouth, we work the same way: you send details, we return a fixed quote, the joints are resealed and the 12-month guarantee follows. Addresses, photos of typical joints and a rough idea of quantities let us give a quick quote, and site visits can be arranged. We work on shopfronts below residential blocks, communal kitchens and washrooms and window and door perimeters on blocks, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are the same joint failures repeated across a portfolio and occupiers reporting cold air round windows. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Farlington from the first photographs to the final walk-round, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
Older buildings and conversions around places like Farlington mix old masonry with newer frames. The mastic there needs to suit both surfaces.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and the quote explains what it covers.

What the job involves on each surface
Communal areas
Communal areas stay in use while we work. We work in sections so access is never blocked.
Commercial and mixed-use buildings
Mixed-use buildings combine shops below with flats or offices above, so phasing has to suit both. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them.
How the quote is worked out
We price every job individually. The things that drive the figure:
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- How much existing material needs removing
- Access and working height
- The site’s rules and procedures
No two sites price the same: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.
What to include in your enquiry
Diagnosis starts before we arrive. Tell us:
- The type of building and who uses it
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
Need a figure for a tender or a budget? We’ll quote against your scope and drawings that you can work with. If you have questions first, ring 01277 525 020 or email the details over.
From enquiry to sign-off
Where the site stays busy, the work is phased so only one area is out of use at a time. Each section is protected, cleaned back and sealed before we move to the next. If neighbouring businesses or buildings around Farlington need work too, visits can be combined. Tell us your site hours and we will plan around them.
- 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.
- The sequence and the dates are fixed with you, giving you what you need to notify occupiers.
- Old sealant is stripped and each face prepared back to firm material.
- Deep joints get backing rod, faces are primed if the manufacturer specifies it, then the joint is sealed and tooled.
- Completed joints are inspected and carry a 12-month workmanship guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Have the specification and drawings to hand

Farlington: questions and answers
Can you quote for a block close to Cosham 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.
Will you take on work at estates like Railway Triangle Industrial Estate, close to Farlington?
Yes. We cover Farlington and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Railway Triangle Industrial Estate. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.
Who decides which product is used?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
Is mastic sealing guaranteed?
There is a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, backed by public liability insurance.
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.
Do you supply RAMS and insurance details?
Let us know your requirements: tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
Can you seal joints high up on a block?
Access is discussed and agreed before the quote is fixed. Tell us the building height and any access already in place and we will confirm the approach in the quote.

What else we do in Farlington
What sealant work can’t fix
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- Misted or failed double-glazed units
- Materials that need asbestos testing before work
- Failed window or door frames, which need a window contractor
Not sure which it is? You can speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
- External wall and movement joints
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- Balcony and threshold joints
Do you need mastic sealing in Farlington?
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.
Look out for the following:
- Worn sealant at communal door frames
- Movement joints with sealant missing
- Mastic failing across several blocks on an estate
- Brittle perimeter mastic across a building
Student blocks close to universities like University of Portsmouth - Langstone Campus (3.5 miles south of Farlington) are easiest to work on between tenancies.
What your quote should include
- The terms of the workmanship guarantee
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
- Who will actually carry out the work
- Their public liability cover
Planned mastic for Farlington portfolios
Farlington sits close to the coast, within about 1 mile. Blocks and commercial buildings facing the sea take the most weather on their window perimeters and external joints, and they deserve more regular inspection. Rainfall across the South East, Farlington included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. External mastic still waits for dry faces and the right temperature, and south- and west-facing elevations, which take the most sun and rain, often age first.
For owners of several units at places like Railway Triangle Industrial Estate, which lies south-west of Farlington, one programme can deal with frame and external mastic across the lot. Site managers at schools like Solent Infant School can fit frame mastic into the summer works.
