Why deal with it now?
Reacting to every complaint means sending someone out block by block. A planned programme treats each building once and is simpler to manage and budget. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Hollywater, rather than one at a time. Send photos of each area and we’ll quote for the lot.

How we handle mastic sealing in Hollywater
Most buildings come with mastic joints nobody has looked at since handover, and it ages quietly: window perimeters, door frames, external joints and communal junctions all rely on it. Once it cracks, hardens or comes away, draughts and water find a way in, and occupiers start reporting it. The enquiries we see most involve water getting in round frames after rain and old repairs sealed over failed mastic, across external wall and movement joints, shopfronts below residential blocks and communal kitchens and washrooms. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Hollywater first comes to us: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
In and around smaller places like Hollywater, landlords and agents often look after small groups of housing association properties, converted farm buildings and community buildings. Frame and wall-joint mastic on all of them ages and hardens.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we are clear about what is covered before work starts.

Your questions answered
Will you take on work at estates like Woolmer Trading Estate, close to Hollywater?
Yes. Our area takes in Hollywater and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Woolmer Trading Estate included. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Do you work for managing agents with blocks near Liphook station?
Yes. Blocks of any size are within what we do. Photos of each elevation help us quote accurately.
When is resealing likely to be due?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No, never. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so it all comes out first.

Yes. Sites across Hollywater are covered.
Can you work to our specification?

What sets the cost
Each job is priced on its own details. The main factors are:
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Working within restricted access windows
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Distance, for remote addresses
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.
Before you send an enquiry
The more we know, the firmer the quote. Helpful details to send:
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- What the building is and how it’s used
- Specification clauses that apply

Frames, entrances and external joints in Hollywater
Hollywater is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. Even so, frame mastic only goes on in dry, workable conditions, and south- and west-facing elevations, which take the most sun and rain, often age first. Hollywater lies roughly 43 miles out from central London. Commuter-belt towns tend to have plenty of managed blocks near stations and town centres.
If you own or manage units on a site such as Woolmer Trading Estate, 0.8 miles to the north-west of Hollywater, failed mastic on frames, door surrounds and external joints can be dealt with unit by unit. Buildings close to stations like Liphook station, 3.1 miles to the south-east of Hollywater, are often flats over shops, with frame mastic to keep sound.

When to call us in Hollywater
Previous repairs often sealed new mastic over old. New silicone has nothing to grip on old silicone, so these repairs rarely last.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Cracked, hardened mastic round windows on a block
- Failed external movement joints
- Communal area joints that look neglected
- Mastic failing across several blocks on an estate
Older community buildings, St Mark's Sacred Church among them, often have frames of mixed ages whose mastic varies.

How the job changes by surface
External movement joints
The joint width has to suit the movement and the sealant’s capability, often around 2:1 width to depth, as the manufacturer advises.
Estate-wide resealing programmes
An estate of similar buildings suits a rolling programme. We quote building by building and work through them in turn.
Maintenance after handover
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. Our advice:
- Reduce knocks to communal area joints
- Make it easy for occupiers to report draughts
- Avoid piecemeal callouts where you can
- Track which buildings were done and when
Ask residents or tenants to report draughts or leaks round windows early. A quick report keeps a small repair small.
Planned resealing is easier to budget than emergency repairs. A programme can start with the worst buildings and work down the list.
