Block-wide mastic in Godshill
Godshill is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. Outside mastic still needs a dry joint and the right temperature, while the elevations that take the most sun tend to show hardened mastic first.
Older community buildings, St Giles among them, often have frames of mixed ages whose mastic varies. With historic buildings such as Breamore House, 2.9 miles north-west of Godshill, in the wider area, owners of older properties around Godshill should expect mastic to need a product that suits old masonry.

Mastic sealing in Godshill
We work for building owners, landlords with commercial or block portfolios, managing agents and housing associations. Many prefer a planned programme to one-off visits, with each block quoted and scheduled in turn. Site teams most often ask us about mastic failing across several blocks on an estate and worn sealant at communal door frames, on communal kitchens and washrooms, balcony and threshold joints and communal entrances and stairwells. Most enquiries from Godshill start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Rural conversions near places like Godshill often set modern frames into older stone, flint or brick. The mastic needs to suit an irregular masonry face and the look of the building.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

Should maintenance staff do it?
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. Where it goes wrong is preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
Surface by surface
Estate-wide resealing programmes
Using the same products throughout keeps the estate consistent and easier to manage.
External movement joints
Failed sealant is removed, backing rod inserted to control depth and the joint resealed with a grade whose movement class fits.
Do you need mastic sealing in Godshill?
Many failed joints were sealed without backing rod so the mastic is bonded on three sides. That three-sided adhesion stops it stretching and splits as the building moves.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- Mastic failing across several blocks on an estate
- Draughts at frames across a block
- Brittle perimeter mastic across a building
- Damaged joints in communal entrances and corridors
Schools and community buildings such as The Burgate School and Sixth Form need frame and external mastic kept sound like any building.
Questions to ask before you book
- The terms of the workmanship guarantee
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
- Their plan for phasing and protecting the area
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
Diagnose, treat, sign off
We bring the products specified for the job, along with primers and backing rod. Any old material is cut back to clean, sound faces, primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, and each bead is tooled to a neat concave finish. For work around Godshill, we aim to finish in one visit, so photographs and measurements up front really help. Then the right materials arrive with us.

What we can’t put right
A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. You’ll hear from us if the cause turns out to be any of the following:
- Glazing that needs replacing
- Leaks through the frame itself rather than the perimeter
- Leaks from above rather than through a joint
If in doubt, call 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we seal
- Balcony and threshold joints
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
- External wall and movement joints
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
Questions we’re asked in Godshill
Is Godshill too small for you to travel to?
No. Places such as Godshill are covered as much as the big towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Can one quote cover a number of our buildings near Godshill?
Yes. Portfolio-wide programmes are a regular request. Send the addresses and photos and we’ll give a fixed quote.
Can you take on resealing for a block portfolio?
Yes, block and estate work is a core part of what we do. We work through buildings in a planned order with dates agreed in advance.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No, never. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so everything comes out first.
How do you handle work on occupied blocks?
Occupiers stay in the building throughout. If any flats or units need access, we will tell you in advance so you can arrange it with occupiers.
How long does a job like this take?
That varies with the scale of the job, though a typical visit normally takes a few days for most blocks, with larger programmes scheduled building by building. For bigger or phased jobs, we will set out a timescale with the quote.
What sets the cost
Your fixed quote is built from the real scope. It takes account of:
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- How accessible the joints are
- The size and state of each joint
- The total length or number of joints
Every site prices differently: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.
Before you send an enquiry
A few photographs plus some basic facts will normally do. It helps to include:
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- The site address and postcode
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- The product your specification calls for
The quickest route to a quote is a few photographs and the site postcode. Send them through the quote form, or speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos to discuss it first.
