What we can’t put right
Being straight saves everyone time. New sealant won’t cure:
- Misted or failed double-glazed units
- Failed window or door frames, which need a window contractor
- Materials that need asbestos testing before work
Not sure which it is? You can call 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we seal
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
- Window and door perimeters on blocks

- Balcony and threshold joints
Mastic sealing for commercial buildings in Hambledon
On a residential block, the work happens around people’s lives. The sequence, the areas and the dates are settled with you, giving you what you need to notify residents. Entrances and stairwells are kept in use while we work. We work on balcony and threshold joints, external wall and movement joints and communal entrances and stairwells, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are failed external movement joints and old repairs sealed over failed mastic. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: in Hambledon, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Rural conversions near places like Hambledon often set modern frames into older stone, flint or brick. Perimeter mastic there has to grip an uneven face and suit the building’s character.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

Surface by surface
Commercial and mixed-use buildings
Tenants in commercial buildings need to keep trading so the work is phased.
Window and door perimeters on blocks
We normally work through a block’s windows in a planned order. Access is agreed with you before the quote is fixed.
Quoting for work in Hambledon
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, because every site is different. What we take into account:
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Access and working height
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- The size and state of each joint
A quote for mastic joints depends on quantities, condition and access. Call for a quote.
What we need to price the job
Diagnosis starts before we arrive. Let us know:
- Any dates the work must fit around
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
Every quote starts with the facts: what’s there, how much of it, how we reach it and what’s specified. Send what you have, and we will arrange a site visit if anything is unclear.
Common questions from Hambledon clients
Can one quote cover a number of our buildings near Hambledon?
Yes. Planned programmes across a building, block or estate are a core part of this service. Send the addresses and photos and we will give a fixed quote.
Is a smaller place like Hambledon outside your area?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Can you seal joints high up on a block?
Access is discussed and agreed before the quote is fixed. Tell us the number of storeys and whether scaffold or other access is planned, and we will tell you how we’d approach it.
Is asbestos a concern with old mastic?
Some mastics in pre-2000 buildings contain asbestos. We ask for the asbestos register or survey before work starts and suspect material is tested first.
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.
How do you choose the sealant?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. Without one, the joint decides: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
How do you handle work on occupied blocks?
We plan around people living or working in the building. Dates and areas are agreed with you so residents or tenants can be told, and entrances stay in use.

What else we do in Hambledon
Why it’s worth doing now in Hambledon
Looking at mastic during planned maintenance costs little. Leaving it until there’s a leak turns it into reactive work and less choice about when. For buildings around smaller places like Hambledon, water damage can go unnoticed for longer, especially where a building isn’t used daily, which gives a failed joint time to do damage. Renewing joints in good time avoids the problem.
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well, along with the time of year for external work.

Looking after the joints
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Protect low-level joints in entrances
- Group repairs into a planned programme
- Mention RAMS, insurance or CSCS requirements up front
- Log resealing dates block by block
Keep records of when each building was resealed. That makes future programmes easier to plan and shows what was done.
Mastic fails gradually, then all at once in a wet spell. Acting at the first signs keeps it a straightforward reseal and saves internal repairs.
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. Jobs in and around smaller places like Hambledon are typically planned as a single visit, so we ask for photographs and rough sizes first. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- A building-by-building inspection lists the failed joints.
- The quote is fixed and split as suits you.
- Dates and areas are agreed so occupiers can be told.
- Old mastic is removed and the joint faces prepared.
- New sealant goes in with backing rod and primer where needed.
- We check the finished work and confirm the guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed

Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints and a fixed quote comes back to you. If the job needs a look first, we will arrange a site visit.
Advice
Block-wide mastic in Hambledon
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Outside work still depends on dry joints, and the sunniest, most exposed sides of a building usually need attention first. Hambledon lies roughly 34 miles out from central London. Managed blocks of flats are a big part of commuter-belt property, and window and balcony mastic on them tends to age at the same rate.
Schools and community buildings such as St Dominic's School need frame and external mastic kept sound like any building. If you look after a block within reach of Witley station (0.9 miles west of Hambledon), frame and balcony mastic can be renewed on one programme. Trustees of buildings like Hambledon Church can bring frame and external mastic into a planned maintenance list.
