Mastic sealing for Hound sites
Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
Why act early in Hound
Replacing mastic before water gets in is a planned job. Once water has tracked in, the repair list grows and occupiers notice. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Hound. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
The price depends on how many linear metres there are, how much old material needs removing and how the joints are reached. Call for a quote when you’re ready.

How we handle mastic sealing in Hound
Older blocks and commercial buildings can have mastic that contains asbestos. Before we disturb it, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey and if it’s suspected, work stops until it’s tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials. Most enquiries involve draughts at frames across a block and damaged joints in communal entrances and corridors, on balcony and threshold joints, window and door perimeters on blocks and communal entrances and stairwells. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Hound, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Around smaller places like Hound, older walls fitted with newer windows are a familiar sight. The mastic needs to suit an irregular masonry face and the look of the building.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work in Hampshire. Should something we installed fail, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll come back to it.

For managing agents and facilities managers
Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor, on new build and refurbishment alike. Programme, specification and site rules come first.
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. We phase the work so people keep access, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
Aftercare for building managers
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. Specifically:
- Mention RAMS, insurance or CSCS requirements up front
- Keep a record of when each building was resealed
- Group repairs into a planned programme
- Make mastic part of routine maintenance checks
Where a paintable product was specified, it can be painted after curing. Non-paintable silicone shouldn’t be painted over unless told otherwise.
Planned resealing is easier to budget than emergency repairs. A programme can start with the worst buildings and work down the list.
Questions about Hound
Is Hound too far out for you?
Not at all. Hound 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 cover business parks and estates near Hound, such as Ensign Way Business Park?
Yes. Our area takes in Hound and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Ensign Way Business Park included. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
What will the job cost?
That depends on the job: quantities, access, the product and any phasing. Call for a fixed quote.
How long will the new sealant last?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
Will residents or tenants be disturbed?
The work is planned around occupiers. We agree the programme so you can notify occupiers, and entrances stay in use.
Which sealant will you use?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
Do you take on small jobs?
Small jobs are welcome alongside larger packages. Send details for a fixed quote.
Doing it in-house
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but larger jobs are different: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class.
What sealant work can’t fix
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- Asbestos-containing sealant, which we don’t remove
- Leaks from above rather than through a joint
- Cracked or crumbling render, brick or stone at the joint edges (we’ll tell you if so)
If in doubt, phone 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll say what we think.
What we seal
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
- External wall and movement joints
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
- Balcony and threshold joints
- Communal entrances and stairwells
Our process
We bring the products specified for the job, along with primers and backing rod. Any old material is cut back to clean, sound faces, the manufacturer’s primer is applied where it’s called for, and each bead is tooled to a neat concave finish. For a building around Hound, tell us how to find it and who will meet us. Add it to your enquiry and we will build it into the plan.

Block-wide mastic in Hound
Hound sits close to the coast, within about 1 mile. Sea-facing elevations take driven rain and salt, and their mastic shows it before the sheltered sides do, and they deserve more regular inspection. Hound lies roughly 69 miles out from central London. Commuter-belt towns tend to have plenty of managed blocks near stations and town centres.
Churches, halls and community buildings such as Church of St Mary are looked after by trustees and committees like any other owner, and their frames, doors and external joints need mastic renewed in time. Schools and community buildings such as The Hamble School need frame and external mastic kept sound like any building. Buildings close to stations like Netley station, less than half a mile to the west of Hound, are often flats over shops, with frame mastic to keep sound.
Hound is about 3 miles east of Hythe, in Hampshire. Our applicators travel to Hound for work on mastic joints. We work across 723 places in Hampshire.
