Block-wide mastic in Hillyfields
Hillyfields sits close to the coast, within about 2 miles. For owners and agents with buildings near the sea, exposed elevations are where frame mastic fails first. The South East is one of the drier 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.
Older community buildings, All Saints among them, often have frames of mixed ages whose mastic varies. For owners of several units at places like Nursling Retail Park, which lies west of Hillyfields, one programme can deal with frame and external mastic across the lot. Student accommodation around universities such as University of Southampton, 3 miles east of Hillyfields, is typically managed block by block, which suits a planned mastic programme.

How we handle mastic sealing in Hillyfields
Mastic Doctor has sealed joints on commercial and residential blocks since 2005. Our applicators are CSCS-carded and we hold public liability insurance. Each building we complete carries a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. We work on shopfronts below residential blocks, communal kitchens and washrooms and balcony and threshold joints, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are the same joint failures repeated across a portfolio and worn sealant at communal door frames. Most enquiries from Hillyfields start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
For landlords and associations with stock in and around Hillyfields, grouping buildings into one visit saves travel. One quote can cover a whole list of addresses.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee, in Hillyfields as everywhere else we work. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

Different surfaces, different methods
Communal areas
Communal entrances, stairwells and corridors have joints at door frames, screens, skirting and floor edges. Fresh joints make shared areas look looked after.
Commercial and mixed-use buildings
Mixed-use buildings combine shops below with flats or offices above, so phasing has to suit both. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will plan around them.
Work for main contractors and building owners
Whether you’re a managing agent, a property factor or an owner’s representative: send the details, accept a fixed quote, and we carry out and guarantee the work. Keys, access and contacts can be agreed in advance.
FMs need a contractor who is easy to get on site. Tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm with the quote.
Quoting for work in Hillyfields
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, because every site is different. What we look at:
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Working within restricted access windows
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
Every site prices differently: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.
What we need to price the job
Good information means a firmer quote. When you get in touch, include:
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- When you need the work done
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
Every quote starts with the facts: the joints involved, quantities, access and the product called for. Send what you have, and we’ll arrange a site visit if anything is unclear.
Hillyfields: questions and answers
Do you work in occupied care homes around Hillyfields?
Yes. We work around residents’ routines, a room or two at a time. Tell us about any infection-control or safeguarding requirements and we’ll work to them.
Is Hillyfields too small for you to travel to?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across Greater London and the South East. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Do you work for managing agents and housing associations?
Yes. Managing agents, property factors in Scotland, housing associations and landlords with block or commercial portfolios are our main clients for this work and work can be quoted per building or as a whole.
How long will the new sealant 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.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance, and we raise anything unclear before work begins.
How long does a typical visit take?
It depends on the scope, though a typical visit typically takes one or more days per building, depending on the joint lengths and the access. For bigger or phased jobs, we will set out a timescale with the quote.
What guarantee do you give on resealing?
There is a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, backed by public liability insurance.
Should maintenance staff do it?
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are easy to get wrong without experience.
There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
Keeping the joints sound
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. Specifically:
- Share your contractor requirements early
- Start inspections with the most exposed faces
- Avoid piecemeal callouts where you can
- Check sealant joints during planned building inspections
Ask residents or tenants to report draughts or leaks round windows early. A quick report keeps a small repair small.
One failed perimeter usually means others on the same building are close so a single failure is a sign to check the rest. Doing them together saves going back again and again.
Our process
Diagnose, treat, sign off: that’s the shape of every visit. We inspect the joints and confirm what’s in scope, then the work is carried out to the specified product and detail, and the job ends with a walk round and sign-off. For a job in Hillyfields, the main thing is a clear picture of the work. You will then get a fixed price for the work.
- We inspect each building and record the joints that have failed.
- You get a fixed quote, per block or for the whole programme.
