Do you need mastic sealing in Highleigh?

Look out for the following:
- Cracked, hardened mastic round windows on a block
- Draught complaints from residents or tenants
- Complaints coming in block by block
- A mix of products and colours from past repairs

Mastic sealing in Highleigh, done properly
For over 20 years we have resealed joints for owners, agents and landlords. Our applicators are CSCS-carded and we hold public liability insurance. Resealed mastic joints in Highleigh carry our 12-month guarantee. We work on communal kitchens and washrooms, communal entrances and stairwells and shopfronts below residential blocks, and what we are called in for most is leaks at window and door perimeters and draught complaints from residents or tenants. Most enquiries from Highleigh start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
In and around smaller places like Highleigh, landlords and agents often look after small groups of housing association properties, converted farm buildings and community buildings. Mastic around frames and on external joints wears out in time, whatever the building.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than 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.

Cost factors for mastic joints
Your fixed quote is built from the real scope. It takes account of:
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Which sealant the job calls for
- Any access equipment needed
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote and we will put a fixed figure on it.
What to include in your enquiry
We can often quote from photographs and a few details. Please tell us:
- Any specification or named product
- Clear photographs of the problem areas
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- What the building is and how it’s used
Send us photos, drawings or a joint schedule and a fixed quote comes back to you. If the job needs a look first, we’ll arrange a site visit.
FAQs: Highleigh
Can being near the sea in Highleigh affect the sealant we need?
It can. Coastal exposure works external joints harder than inland weather. We choose the product for the exposure, prime where the manufacturer requires it and size the joint for its movement.
Can you work at a site such as Enborne Business Park, by Highleigh?
Yes. We cover Highleigh and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Enborne Business Park. A few photos and the unit address let us price the work.
Is any job too small?
Whatever the size, the process is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed.
How long will the new sealant last?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
Do you do block-wide mastic programmes?
Block-wide and estate programmes are common. You get a fixed quote per building or for the whole job.
Does the weather affect the work?
Outside, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Inside work is seldom held up.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
Commercial clients in Highleigh
Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients book us directly too. We plan around the way the building is used, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
What happens if it’s left?
Piecemeal repairs over the years often leave mismatched sealant. A block-wide reseal gives one product, one colour and one guarantee. Older rural buildings around Highleigh move with the seasons, and rigid or tired sealant can’t keep up. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.
The price depends on how many linear metres there are, what has to come out first and how the joints are reached. Call for a fixed quote once you have the details.

Blocks and managed buildings in Highleigh
Highleigh sits close to the coast, within about 2 miles. Sea-facing elevations take driven rain and salt, and their mastic shows it before the sheltered sides do, so it’s worth inspecting those sides more often. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Even so, frame mastic only goes on in dry, workable conditions, and elevations facing the sun and the prevailing weather are usually where frame mastic ages first.
If you look after a block within reach of Chichester station, 3.9 miles to the north of Highleigh, frame and balcony mastic can be renewed on one programme. For a school such as Sidlesham Primary School, perimeter mastic on windows and doors is a holiday job.

What the job involves on each surface
Tenement and older buildings
Some old mastics in pre-2000 buildings contain asbestos and the register is checked before anything is disturbed. If it’s suspected, work stops until it’s tested.
Commercial and mixed-use buildings
Landlords with commercial portfolios have shopfronts, office entrances and external joints to look after. A planned programme suits multi-building portfolios.
