About our mastic sealing in Golden Pot
For over 20 years we have resealed joints for owners, agents and landlords. Our applicators are CSCS-carded and we hold public liability insurance. Each building we complete carries a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. If you have patchy repairs in mismatched sealant and draughts at frames across a block, we can help, on window and door perimeters on blocks, shopfronts below residential blocks and communal kitchens and washrooms alike. Most enquiries from Golden Pot start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
Owners and agents with buildings around smaller places such as Golden Pot tend to manage small terraces of association properties, converted barns and commercial units. Mastic around frames and on external joints wears out in time, whatever the building.
Every job is signed off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

What we can’t put right
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Leaks through the frame itself rather than the perimeter
- Old mastic suspected of containing asbestos, which must be tested and dealt with by a specialist first
- Masonry that has broken away beside the joint
If you’re not sure, just phone 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will give you a straight answer.
What we seal

Surface by surface
Planned maintenance
Adding mastic to planned maintenance avoids reactive repairs and keeps budgets predictable.
Window and door perimeters on blocks
We usually work through a block’s windows in a planned order. Access is agreed with you before the quote is fixed.
Looking after the joints
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. We suggest:
- Protect low-level joints in entrances
- Have the asbestos survey to hand for older buildings
- Mention RAMS, insurance or CSCS requirements up front
- Start inspections with the most exposed faces
Where a paintable product was specified, it can be painted after curing. Non-paintable silicone shouldn’t be painted over unless told otherwise.
Budgets are easier to plan when sealant is part of planned maintenance. A programme can start with the worst buildings and work down the list.

What happens if it’s left?
Dealing with failed joints one report at a time is slow and scattered. A planned programme treats each building once and is simpler to manage and budget. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Golden Pot. Send photos of each area and we’ll quote for the lot.
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote and we’ll put a fixed figure on it.

Doing it in-house
Some joints are best left to specialists: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. Getting these wrong usually costs more in the end than doing them right.
Redoing a failed joint normally costs more than getting it right at the outset, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
Questions about Golden Pot
Is a smaller place like Golden Pot outside your area?
Not at all. Golden Pot is within our area. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Will you take on a block within reach of Alton 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.
Can people stay in the building while you reseal?
Occupiers stay in the building throughout. If any flats or units need access, we’ll tell you in advance so it can be arranged.
Can you send RAMS and CSCS details before starting?
Our credentials include CHAS, Constructionline and public liability insurance. For specific documents, tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote.
How many days will you need on site?
It depends on the scope, though a typical visit normally takes a day or two for a single block, longer for an estate programme. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we will give you a timescale with the quote.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so it all comes out first.
What if the old mastic contains asbestos?
Some mastics in pre-2000 buildings contain asbestos. We check the asbestos register or survey before disturbing it, and if it’s suspected, work stops until it’s tested.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
We begin with a short walk round with whoever looks after the building, to confirm the scope, the order of work and any areas we must keep clear. Then we strip out anything that has failed, prepare every joint and seal it. If others near Golden Pot need work, visits can be combined. You will have a fixed quote before work starts.
- We inspect each building and record the joints that have failed.
- You get a fixed quote, per block or for the whole programme.
- Dates and areas are agreed so occupiers can be told.
- Failed sealant is removed and the faces prepared.
- New sealant goes in with backing rod and primer where needed.
- Each building is checked and signed off with the 12-month guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
Getting a fixed quote
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we will price against exactly what is specified. For smaller jobs, photos and a description will do.
Advice
For owners and agents in Golden Pot
At about 44 miles from central London, Golden Pot is within reach of the capital. Managed blocks of flats are a big part of commuter-belt property. Rainfall across the South East, Golden Pot included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. External mastic still waits for dry faces and the right temperature, and elevations facing the sun and the prevailing weather are normally where frame mastic ages first.
Blocks of flats and mixed-use buildings often cluster around stations such as Alton station, 2.3 miles south of Golden Pot, and their window and balcony mastic tends to age at the same rate across a building. Historic properties like Hall Place (to the south-west of Golden Pot) show the age of some local stock, where frame mastic must suit soft brick or stone. If you own or manage units on a site such as Kerridge Industrial Estate (2.3 miles south-east of Golden Pot), failed mastic on frames, door surrounds and external joints can be dealt with unit by unit.
