How we handle mastic sealing in Kitwood
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. We work on external wall and movement joints, window and door perimeters on blocks and communal kitchens and washrooms, and the failures we are asked to look at most are open joints in brickwork or panels and estate-wide sealant that is simply worn out. Searching for sealant specialists in Kitwood? We’ve been sealing commercial buildings since 2005.
For buildings around smaller places like Kitwood, we group work so one trip covers it. Photos of each elevation help us quote accurately.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee, wherever the site is. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

Signs you need mastic sealing in Kitwood
The edges of the material itself sometimes break away for example where render or brick edges crumble. If the edges are unsound, we say so before quoting the sealing.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- No planned programme for sealant
- The same joint failures repeated across a portfolio
- Movement joints with sealant missing
- Damaged joints in communal entrances and corridors
For a school such as Four Marks Church of England Primary School, perimeter mastic on windows and doors is a holiday job.
What to look for in a quote
- Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?
- How joint depth will be controlled
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
Our process
Where the site stays busy, we agree a sequence with your contact so the disruption stays in one area at once. Each area is protected, prepared and sealed before we move to the next. If others near Kitwood need work, visits can be combined, which keeps travel down. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.
- First comes a look at the joints and, for older buildings, the asbestos records.
- 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.
What we need from you
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- Let building users know which areas are affected
Request a quote
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we will price against exactly what is specified. For smaller jobs, photographs and a description will do.
Advice
What happens if it’s left?
Sealing over failed mastic looks tidy for a while. It won’t grip the old sealant and soon comes away. Cutting out and resealing properly does it once. Halls, stores and units around places like Kitwood may not be checked every day, so a failed joint can leak for a while before anyone sees it. Resealing early avoids that.
No two sites price the same: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.

Different surfaces, different methods
Window and door perimeters on blocks
Frames vary from uPVC to aluminium and timber, so the grade we pick has to bond to frame and wall alike. We will confirm the colours available for the specified product.
Commercial and mixed-use buildings
Mixed-use buildings combine shops below with flats or offices above the programme has to suit everyone. We plan around the site hours and access windows you give us.
FAQs: Kitwood
Does your area include sites such as Mansfield Business Park, near Kitwood?
Yes. We cover Kitwood and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Mansfield Business Park. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Is a smaller place like Kitwood outside your area?
Not at all. Kitwood is within our area. London and every South East county are within our area. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Can weather delay the job?
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. Internal work is rarely affected.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so it all comes out first.
Can you quote from photographs?
Photos, drawings or a schedule are often enough to quote. If the job needs a look first, we’ll arrange a visit before quoting.
Who decides which product is used?
The specification comes first, if there is one. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
What’s the quickest route to a quote?
There are four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. The first step only needs photographs and a postcode.
Mastic sealing around Kitwood: how the place shapes the job
Kitwood sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Outside work still depends on dry joints, while the elevations that take the most sun tend to show hardened mastic first. Kitwood is about 50 miles from central London. Managed blocks of flats are a big part of commuter-belt property.
Older community buildings, Church of the Good Shepherd among them, often have frames of mixed ages whose mastic varies. Historic properties like Bentworth Hall (to the north of Kitwood) show the age of some local stock, where frame mastic must suit soft brick or stone.
Kitwood is about 5 miles south-west of Alton, in Hampshire. We cover commercial sites throughout Kitwood, for single jobs and planned programmes alike. Kitwood is one of 723 places in Hampshire on our list for mastic joints. Our Southampton page has more on work in that area.

Looking after the joints
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- List the paperwork your organisation requires when you send details
- Have the asbestos survey to hand for older buildings
- Include mastic in your cyclical inspections
- Log resealing dates block by block
Log the date and extent of the resealing for each block. It helps plan the next round and shows what was done.
The longer failed joints are left, the more likely the substrate edges break up. Once that happens, repairs come before resealing.

Doing it in-house
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
