Our process
A typical day starts with protection: masking tape along the joint edges and sheeting over anything nearby. The work itself usually takes anything from a day to a few weeks, depending on the number of buildings and joints, and our waste is bagged and taken away as we go. For a site in Hiltingbury, we plan so the whole job is done in one go where possible. Photos with rough sizes let us arrive with everything needed.
- We check the asbestos register for older buildings and look at the joints.
- The products and programme are set out in a fixed quote.
- We strip out the old sealant.
- Joint faces are cleaned, backed and resealed.
- Buildings are completed in turn.
Before we start on site
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work

Advice
About our mastic sealing in Hiltingbury
Treatment starts with a proper look: what has failed, what caused it and whether new sealant will actually solve it. Old mastic is removed entirely, the faces prepared, primer used where the maker specifies it and new sealant tooled in, with backing rod setting the depth where it’s needed. If you are dealing with old repairs sealed over failed mastic and failed external movement joints, we can help, whatever the surface. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, the work in Hiltingbury is the same: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Converted and older buildings in and around Hiltingbury often put modern windows into old walls. The mastic there needs to suit both surfaces.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and the quote explains what it covers.

Questions about Hiltingbury
Will you take on a block within reach of Chandlers Ford station?
Yes. Managing agents, landlords, property factors and housing associations are who this service is for. Photos of each elevation help us quote accurately.
Is Hiltingbury too small for you to travel to?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
How long will the new sealant last?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
Can you send RAMS and CSCS details before starting?
Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote. We hold CHAS accreditation and Constructionline membership.
What if the old mastic contains asbestos?
Asbestos removal isn’t part of our work. Anything suspect is tested before we carry on, and the duty to manage asbestos sits with the dutyholder.
Does weather matter for sealant 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.
Which sealant will you use?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
Looking after buildings in and around Hiltingbury
Hiltingbury sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Outside work still depends on dry joints, and the sunniest, most exposed sides of a building typically need attention first. Hiltingbury lies roughly 66 miles out from central London. Within reach of London, blocks run by agents and associations are common around stations.
If your remit includes a building such as Hiltingbury Junior School, frame and door mastic can be programmed for the holidays. Student accommodation around universities such as University of Southampton (to the south of Hiltingbury) is usually managed block by block, which suits a planned mastic programme.

Aftercare for building managers
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. We suggest:
- Make mastic part of routine maintenance checks
- Reduce knocks to communal area joints
- Start inspections with the most exposed faces
- Group repairs into a planned programme
Log the date and extent of the resealing for each block. It helps plan the next round 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 the complaints that come with it.
When to call us in Hiltingbury
In communal areas, joints take knocks from bins, bikes, buggies and deliveries, with joints near the floor and around doors suffering most. Regular cleaning wears them further.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- Old repairs sealed over failed mastic
- Estate-wide sealant that is simply worn out
- Draught complaints from residents or tenants
- Leaks at window and door perimeters
Blocks of flats and mixed-use buildings often cluster around stations such as Chandlers Ford station (1 mile south of Hiltingbury) and their window and balcony mastic tends to age at the same rate across a building.
Before you book anyone
- How the existing material will be dealt with
- Their approach to joint depth and backing
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?

Different surfaces, different methods
Planned maintenance
How long mastic lasts depends on exposure, movement and the product used. Inspecting joints regularly keeps programmes on track.
Estate-wide resealing programmes
An estate of similar buildings suits a rolling programme. Each block is priced and scheduled in order.
What we can’t put right
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It won’t put right:
- Masonry that has broken away beside the joint
- Misted or failed double-glazed units
- Leaks from above rather than through a joint
Not sure which it is? You can phone 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
