Mastic sealing for Holybourne sites
Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
Surface by surface
Commercial and mixed-use buildings
Commercial occupiers usually stay open during the work, so we plan around them.
Communal areas
Communal entrances, stairwells and corridors have joints at door frames, screens, skirting and floor edges. Tidy, sound joints keep them looking cared for.
About our mastic sealing in Holybourne
In buildings from before 2000, some old mastics contain asbestos. We check the asbestos register or survey before any old sealant is cut out and if it’s suspected, work stops until it’s tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials. Site teams most often ask us about the same joint failures repeated across a portfolio and open joints in brickwork or panels, on shopfronts below residential blocks, communal kitchens and washrooms and balcony and threshold joints. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, in Holybourne it comes down to the same thing: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
For owners with a single building near Holybourne, we plan to finish in one visit where possible. Photos of each elevation help us quote accurately.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work. If an installation problem shows up, call 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll arrange a return visit.

When to call us in Holybourne
We often find joints filled solid with no backing rod, so the mastic is glued to the joint bottom too. That three-sided adhesion stops it stretching and splits as the building moves.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- Damp patches beside frames
- Estate-wide sealant that is simply worn out
- No planned programme for sealant
- Communal area joints that look neglected
For a school such as Andrews' Endowed Church of England Primary School, perimeter mastic on windows and doors is a holiday job.

Owners, agents and contractors
We work for building owners and managing agents on everything from one building to a spread of sites around Holybourne. One quote can cover more than one site, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.
Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units 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.
Aftercare for building managers
For the best life from the joints:
- Keep a record of when each building was resealed
- Protect low-level joints in entrances
- Share the asbestos register when you send details
- Encourage occupiers to report problems at frames
Include sealant in planned building inspections. Watch for splits, open gaps, hard or chalky surfaces and mastic pulling away, and note the building and elevation.
Water getting in round frames can damage plaster, decoration and the frames themselves. Resealing early keeps the job small.
Why act early in Holybourne
Sealing over failed mastic looks tidy for a while. It won’t grip the old sealant and soon comes away. Full removal and proper preparation is what lasts. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Holybourne, rather than one at a time. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
The product called for affects the cost, as does the preparation each joint needs, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
Why us?
- Public liability insurance in place
- A Constructionline member, so easy to vet
- Work carried out by CSCS-carded applicators
- Colour agreed before work starts

Holybourne: questions and answers
Is a smaller place like Holybourne outside your area?
Not at all. Holybourne is within our area. We work across Greater London and the South East. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Do you work for managing agents with blocks near Alton station?
Yes. Blocks of any size are within what we do. Send the address, photos of the elevations and your access arrangements, and we’ll give a fixed quote.
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.
How long does a job like this take?
That varies with the scale of the job, but the work usually takes a day or two for a single block, longer for an estate programme. For bigger or phased jobs, we will set out a timescale with the quote.
Can you seal joints high up on a block?
Access is discussed and agreed before the quote is fixed. Tell us the building height and any access already in place and we’ll confirm the approach in the quote.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No, never. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so everything comes out first.
Is asbestos a concern with old mastic?
In older buildings, old mastic can contain asbestos. We ask for the asbestos register or survey before work starts and suspect material is tested first.
Our process
Site rules come first: signing in, inductions and any permit to work. Once we are cleared to begin, the joints are worked through in the order agreed with your site contact, and each area is checked before we leave it. Smaller jobs around Holybourne can be grouped with others nearby, which keeps travel down. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.
- We inspect the joints, building by building, and record what has failed and why.
- You get a fixed quote, priced per building where that helps your budgeting.
- The programme is fixed with you, including dates you can pass on to residents or tenants.
- We remove the old mastic completely and clean the joint faces back.
- Deep joints get backing rod, faces are primed if the manufacturer specifies it, then the joint is sealed and tooled.
- Each building is checked on completion and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Let us know about inductions and permits

If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we will price against exactly what is specified. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photos and a few notes.

Mastic sealing in Holybourne: the local picture
Holybourne is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. Outside mastic still needs a dry joint and the right temperature, while the elevations that take the most sun tend to show hardened mastic first. Central London is about 44 miles from Holybourne. Around the capital’s commuter belt, managing agents look after many blocks close to stations and town centres.
If you are responsible for a building such as Holy Rood Church, frame and door mastic needs the same attention as any other property. Historic properties like Bentworth Hall, 4.6 miles west of Holybourne, show the age of some local stock, where frame mastic must suit soft brick or stone.
