Mastic sealing in High Cross
Send drawings, photos or a joint schedule, or tell us about the site, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
From enquiry to sign-off
Our CSCS-carded applicators arrive with the sealants, primers and backing rod the job calls for. Joint faces are cleaned back to sound, dry surfaces, primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, and the sealant is tooled off neatly. Jobs in and around smaller places like High Cross are typically planned as a single visit, so we ask for photographs and rough sizes first. That way the right products come on the day.
- Each block or building is walked and the failed joints recorded with the likely cause.
- A fixed quote follows, split by block or building if that suits you.
- The programme is fixed with you, including dates you can pass on to residents or tenants.
- We remove the old mastic completely and clean the joint faces back.
- Deep joints get backing rod, faces are primed if the manufacturer specifies it, then the joint is sealed and tooled.
- Each building is checked on completion and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Getting the site ready
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Tell staff and tenants when we will be in
Getting a fixed quote
A handful of photos and a postcode is the fastest way to a quote. Send them through the quote form, or phone 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos to discuss it first.

How we handle mastic sealing in High Cross
Most buildings come with mastic joints nobody has looked at since handover and it slowly wears out: it sits round windows and doors, along external joints and through communal areas. When it hardens, splits or pulls away, water and draughts follow along with complaints. Most enquiries involve estate-wide sealant that is simply worn out and repeated reactive repairs to the same buildings, on communal kitchens and washrooms, balcony and threshold joints and external wall and movement joints. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: in High Cross, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Owners and agents with buildings around smaller places such as High Cross 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.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: preparation, application and finish. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

What else we do in High Cross
Why it’s worth doing now in High Cross
Sealing over failed mastic looks tidy for a while. It doesn’t bond and usually fails within a short time. Cutting out and resealing properly does it once. Converted and older buildings near places like High Cross tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. A sealant with the right movement capability, correctly sized, lasts far better.
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.

See our cost guide or our accreditations.
Aftercare for building managers
Once the work is signed off, a little attention goes a long way:
- Group repairs into a planned programme
- List the paperwork your organisation requires when you send details
- Keep a record of when each building was resealed
- Check the asbestos register before any old mastic is disturbed
Include sealant in planned building inspections. Watch for splits, open gaps, hard or chalky surfaces and mastic pulling away, and note the building and elevation.
Leaks at window perimeters spoil finishes and can affect frames. Early resealing is far simpler than repairs inside.
Common questions from High Cross clients
We manage a building near Petersfield station. Can you help?

Do you take on block-wide or estate-wide mastic work in High Cross?

Do you cover High Cross?
Yes. High Cross falls within our area, and you can speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email us to get started.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and we’ll price the work to it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
Do you work with property factors and landlords?
We do. Most of our mastic sealing is for agents, factors, housing associations and portfolio landlords and work can be quoted per building or as a whole.
Can you seal joints high up on a block?
It depends on the building. We agree access with you at quote stage so the fixed quote reflects it.
How do you choose the sealant?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
Signs you need mastic sealing in High Cross
Many failed joints were sealed without backing rod, so the mastic is glued to the joint bottom too. That three-sided adhesion stops it stretching and splits as the building moves.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- Movement joints with sealant missing
- Occupiers reporting cold air round windows
- Brittle perimeter mastic across a building
- Leaks at window and door perimeters
Older community buildings, Church of St Peter among them, often have frames of mixed ages whose mastic varies.
Comparing quotes
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
- How joint depth will be controlled
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
