About our mastic sealing in Gosport
Managing agents and housing associations normally need paperwork before anyone starts. 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, with public liability insurance. The enquiries we see most involve a mix of products and colours from past repairs and the same joint failures repeated across a portfolio, on balcony and threshold joints, window and door perimeters on blocks and communal kitchens and washrooms. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Gosport? We have been sealing commercial buildings since 2005.
Housing associations in towns like Gosport often run planned maintenance by estate or by block. Residents are notified through the association, and work moves building to building.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

As a CHAS accredited contractor and Constructionline member, we are straightforward to vet for your supplier list. We are fully insured, and our insurance certificate can go with the quote.

What sealant work can’t fix
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Substrate edges that need repairing first
- Leaks from above rather than through a joint
- Failed window or door frames, which need a window contractor
If you are not sure, just phone 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
What we seal
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
- External wall and movement joints
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
- Balcony and threshold joints
Questions about Gosport
Do you work in occupied care homes around Gosport?
Yes. We work around residents’ routines, a room or two at a time. We follow the home’s own procedures throughout.
Can being near the sea in Gosport affect the sealant we need?
It can. Wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt air are harder on external joints. We choose the product for the exposure, prime where the manufacturer requires it and size the joint for its movement.
How long do sealant joints last?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to, and we raise anything unclear before work begins.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
It can, when the joints are outside. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Internal work is far less affected.
Do you guarantee the mastic work?
A 12-month guarantee covers our work. It covers our workmanship, not later building movement, damage or frame failures.
Can you take on resealing for a block portfolio?
Yes, that’s exactly who this service is for. We work through buildings in a planned order so you can plan around it.
What we’re called out for in Gosport
Poor preparation explains many failed joints. Where the faces weren’t cleaned or primed as specified, the bead peels off one side.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Failed external movement joints
- Worn sealant at communal door frames
- Patchy repairs in mismatched sealant
- No planned programme for sealant
Owners of student blocks near University of Portsmouth - North Zone (to the east of Gosport) can schedule frame and external mastic for the summer vacation.
Comparing quotes
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
- Their pre-qualification and accreditations
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
Leave it or put it right?
Resealing ahead of leaks keeps it to a maintenance task. After water has got in, there may be damp, damaged plaster or decoration to put right too, and the complaints come with it. In Gosport, as anywhere, the simplest time to fix a failed joint is before it leaks. Once water gets in, there’s drying out and making good as well.
There’s no price list, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. For a fixed figure, call for a quote.
