What we can’t put right
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It won’t put right:
- Leaks from above rather than through a joint
- Cracked or crumbling render, brick or stone at the joint edges (we’ll tell you if so)
- Frames that are rotten, warped or broken
Not sure which it is? You can give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email us and we will tell you honestly.
Joints and surfaces we work on

Mastic sealing in Foulford, done properly
We diagnose before we prescribe: what has failed, what caused it and whether new sealant will actually solve it. Old mastic is removed entirely, the faces prepared, primer used where the maker specifies it and new sealant tooled in and backing rod used wherever a joint is deep. If you are dealing with patchy repairs in mismatched sealant and estate-wide sealant that is simply worn out, we can help, on balcony and threshold joints, external wall and movement joints and communal entrances and stairwells alike. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: in Foulford, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Around smaller places like Foulford, older walls fitted with newer windows are a familiar sight. The mastic needs to suit an irregular masonry face and the look of the building.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and the quote explains what it covers.

Questions we’re asked in Foulford
Is Platinum Jubilee Business Park, near Foulford, within your area?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Foulford, Platinum Jubilee Business Park among them, are all within reach. To start, just ring 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Is Foulford too small for you to travel to?
No. Places such as Foulford are covered as much as the big towns. London and every South East county are within our area. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Do you need to see the site first?
It depends on the job. Simple work can often be priced from photographs, while larger or less clear jobs get a site visit first.
Do you work for managing agents and housing associations?
Yes, block and estate work is a core part of what we do. We work through buildings in a planned order so you can plan around it.
Which sealant will you use?
The specification comes first, if there is one. Without one, the joint decides: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
What if the old mastic contains asbestos?
In older buildings, old mastic can contain asbestos. We ask for the asbestos register or survey before work starts, and if it’s suspected, work stops until it’s tested.
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.
Why act early in Foulford
Piecemeal repairs over the years often leave mismatched sealant. A block-wide reseal gives one product, one colour and one guarantee and one 12-month guarantee. Older rural buildings around Foulford move with the seasons, and rigid or tired sealant can’t keep up. A sealant with the right movement capability, correctly sized, lasts far better.
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.

Keeping the joints sound
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Start inspections with the most exposed faces
- Make mastic part of routine maintenance checks
- Group repairs into a planned programme
- Check the asbestos register before any old mastic is disturbed
Encourage occupiers to report water or draughts at frames. A quick report keeps a small repair small.
Leaks at window perimeters spoil finishes and can affect frames. Early resealing is far simpler than repairs inside.

As a CHAS accredited contractor and Constructionline member, we make supplier vetting simple. We’re fully insured, and our insurance certificate can go with the quote.

Different surfaces, different methods
Planned maintenance
Planned resealing replaces emergency callouts and keeps budgets predictable.
External movement joints
Movement joints are cleaned out, backed with rod and resealed with a sealant of the right movement class.
For owners and agents in Foulford
Foulford is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. Outside work still depends on dry joints, while the elevations that take the most sun tend to show hardened mastic first. Three care or nursing homes sit less than 2 miles from Foulford. Frame mastic on care buildings is best renewed elevation by elevation, with the manager deciding timings.
Older community buildings, St John the Baptist among them, often have frames of mixed ages whose mastic varies. For a school such as Ringwood School Academy, perimeter mastic on windows and doors is a holiday job. If you own or manage units on a site such as Platinum Jubilee Business Park (1.6 miles west of Foulford), failed mastic on frames, door surrounds and external joints can be dealt with unit by unit.
