Block-wide mastic in Hedge End
Rainfall across the South East, Hedge End included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. External mastic still waits for dry faces and the right temperature, and south- and west-facing elevations, which take the most sun and rain, often age first. Hedge End lies roughly 66 miles out from central London. Within reach of London, blocks run by agents and associations are common around stations.
If you look after a block within reach of Hedge End station, 1.2 miles to the north of Hedge End, frame and balcony mastic can be renewed on one programme. Trustees of buildings like Church of St John the Evangelist can bring frame and external mastic into a planned maintenance list.

On site: what to expect
Occupied buildings need a little choreography. We sign and contain the area we are in, keep walkways clear and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use. Most work in Hedge End is one building at a time: a school, a unit, an office or a block. Your photographs, drawings or a site visit come first, followed by a fixed quote.
- We inspect the joints, building by building, and record what has failed and why.
- We send a fixed quote that sets out the joints, the products and the programme.
- The sequence and the dates are fixed with you, giving you what you need to notify occupiers.
- Old sealant is stripped and each face prepared back to firm material.
- Backing rod and primer go in as the joint requires, then the new bead is placed and tooled.
- Each building is checked on completion and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
What we need from you
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- Send any specification or drawings in advance

How soon can the area be used again?
The product and site conditions decide that. Some take light use quickly, others need longer to cure, and we confirm it before leaving site.
Is mastic sealing guaranteed?
A 12-month guarantee covers our work. It covers our workmanship, not later building movement, damage or frame failures.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and the quote will be based on it.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so everything comes out first.
Do you need mastic sealing in Hedge End?
UV and rain age external sealant. It stiffens, stops stretching and cracks most of all on the sunniest and most exposed elevations.
Most enquiries start with one or more of the following:
- Estate-wide sealant that is simply worn out
- Water getting in round frames after rain
- Complaints coming in block by block
- Damaged joints in communal entrances and corridors
Schools and community buildings such as Shamblehurst Primary School need frame and external mastic kept sound like any building.
Questions to ask before you book
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
- Their approach to joint depth and backing
Cost factors for mastic joints
Quotes vary with the job. It mainly depends on:
- How accessible the joints are
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Distance, for remote addresses
- The site’s rules and procedures
The product called for affects the cost, and so does the preparation, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
Details that help us quote
We can often quote from photographs and a few details. It helps to include:
- Specification clauses that apply
- When you need the work done
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
