Mastic sealing for Holbury sites
Photos, a specification or a quick description of the joints is enough to start a fixed quote.
What the job involves on each surface
External movement joints
The joint width has to suit the movement and the sealant’s capability with the width-to-depth ratio set as the manufacturer advises.
Tenement and older buildings
Older buildings, including Scotland’s sandstone tenements, have their own joint details. The material either side of the joint shapes the product choice.
Mastic sealing for commercial buildings in Holbury
In buildings from before 2000, some old mastics contain asbestos. Before we disturb it, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey, and work stops for testing if there’s any doubt. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials. The enquiries we see most involve water getting in round frames after rain and cracked, hardened mastic round windows on a block, across communal entrances and stairwells, communal kitchens and washrooms and balcony and threshold joints. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Holbury tend to want the same three things: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
Places the size of Holbury normally have some housing association stock, small blocks and mixed-use buildings. The mastic around their frames and external joints ages like anywhere else.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work. Should something we installed fail, ring 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll come back to it.

What affects the price in Holbury
These are the things that shape the price:
- Distance, for remote addresses
- Access and working height
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.
What to include in your enquiry
For an accurate fixed quote, we need a clear picture of the site. Send us:
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- Any dates the work must fit around
Tell us about the building, the joints and when you need the work done, and we’ll put a fixed quote together. The easiest way is to call 01277 525 020 or use the quote form.

How a job runs
Our CSCS-carded applicators arrive with the sealants, primers and backing rod the job calls for. Any old material is cut back to clean, sound faces, primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, and each bead is tooled to a neat concave finish.

- You get a fixed quote, per block or for the whole programme.
- Dates and areas are agreed so occupiers can be told.

Leave it or put it right?
A bead run over old mastic can look like a repair. It won’t grip the old sealant and soon comes away. Full removal and proper preparation is what lasts. In a smaller place such as Holbury, getting a contractor back for a second visit takes time, so it’s worth dealing with every failing joint at once.
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits.

Looking after the joints
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Reduce knocks to communal area joints
- Encourage occupiers to report problems at frames
- Log resealing dates block by block
- Mention RAMS, insurance or CSCS requirements up front
Protect entrance and corridor joints from knocks where possible. Damage at low level is the most common reason communal joints fail early.
One failed perimeter normally means others on the same building are close, so it pays to look at the whole elevation. A planned reseal saves repeated visits.
Questions about Holbury
Can being near the sea in Holbury affect the sealant we need?
It can. Wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt air are harder on external joints. We choose the product for the exposure, prime where the manufacturer requires it and size the joint for its movement.
Will you take on work at estates like Glenmore Business Park, close to Holbury?
Yes. Our area takes in Holbury and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Glenmore Business Park included. To start, just call 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Can weather delay the job?
It can, for external work. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Internal work is far less affected.
Can you reseal a whole block or estate?
Yes, planned programmes suit estates and portfolios. You get a fixed quote per building or for the whole job.
Is asbestos a concern with old mastic?
We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials. If old sealant is suspected, work stops until it’s tested, and the duty to manage asbestos sits with the dutyholder.
How do I request a quote?
It works in four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. Step one needs little more than photographs and a postcode.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance.
When it isn’t the sealant
Being straight saves everyone time. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- Substrate edges that need repairing first
- Leaks from above rather than through a joint
- Failed window or door frames, which need a window contractor
If you are not sure, just phone 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we seal
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- Communal kitchens and washrooms

Mastic sealing in Holbury: the local picture
The sea is no more than about 2 miles from Holbury. 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. External mastic still waits for dry faces and the right temperature, and the sunniest, most exposed sides of a building typically need attention first.
Property owners at sites such as Glenmore Business Park, 1 mile north-west of Holbury, can have mastic renewed between lettings. Older buildings near Holbury, from historic houses such as Beaulieu Palace House (to the west of Holbury) to more modest stock, need compatible products when frames are resealed. Schools and community buildings such as Cadland Primary School need frame and external mastic kept sound like any building.
