What we’re called out for in Liphook
Topping up old mastic is a common shortcut. New silicone has nothing to grip on old silicone, so these repairs rarely last.
Things that typically lead to an enquiry:
- Damaged joints in communal entrances and corridors
- Estate-wide sealant that is simply worn out
- A mix of products and colours from past repairs
- Draught complaints from residents or tenants
If your remit includes a building such as Bohunt School, frame and door mastic can be programmed for the holidays.

How we handle mastic sealing in Liphook
There isn’t one mastic for every joint on a building. Window perimeters and external joints often take a low-modulus neutral-cure silicone, and MS polymer sealants stick well to many substrates and often take paint, and colours are confirmed for whichever product is used. We work on shopfronts below residential blocks, external wall and movement joints and communal entrances and stairwells, and what we’re called in for most is complaints coming in block by block and estate-wide sealant that is simply worn out. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Liphook first comes to us: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
Owners with buildings around smaller places like Liphook often group mastic work so one visit covers several properties. One quote can cover a whole list of addresses.

General trades versus a specialist
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are where general trades tend to cut corners.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. The usual problems come from preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.

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
- Substrate edges that need repairing first
- Frames that are rotten, warped or broken
If in doubt, call the office on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we seal

- Shopfronts below residential blocks

Liphook: questions and answers
Is a smaller place like Liphook outside your area?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. London and every South East county are within our area. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Do you cover business parks and estates near Liphook, such as Passfield Industrial Estate?
Yes. Our area takes in Liphook and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Passfield Industrial Estate included. A few photos and the unit address let us price the work.
Is asbestos a concern with old mastic?
Asbestos removal isn’t part of our work. Anything suspect is tested before we carry on in line with the dutyholder’s asbestos management.
What paperwork can you provide?
Our credentials include CHAS, Constructionline and public liability insurance. Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote.
Can you plan resealing across several buildings?
Yes, planned programmes suit estates and portfolios. You get a fixed quote per building or for the whole job.
How soon can the area be used again?
That comes down to the sealant and the temperature. Some take light use quickly, others need longer to cure, and we confirm it before leaving site.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
For external joints, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Inside work is seldom held up.
What sets the cost
Your fixed quote is built from the real scope. It takes account of:
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Working within restricted access windows
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- 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. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.
Sending details for a quote
To price the job accurately, we need a clear picture of the site. Useful things to include:
- Clear photos of the problem areas
- Any dates the work must fit around
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- The product your specification calls for
Every quote starts with the facts: what’s there, how much of it, how we reach it and what’s specified. Share whatever details you have and we’ll fill any gaps with a visit.
Mastic sealing around Liphook: what changes locally
Liphook lies roughly 42 miles out from central London. Around the capital’s commuter belt, managing agents look after many blocks close to stations and town centres. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Even so, frame mastic only goes on in dry, workable conditions, and the sunniest, most exposed sides of a building usually need attention first.
If you look after a block within reach of Liphook station, which lies south of Liphook, frame and balcony mastic can be renewed on one programme. Older community buildings, St Mary's Church Centre among them, often have frames of mixed ages whose mastic varies.
Liphook is about 8 miles north-east of Petersfield, in Hampshire. We cover commercial sites throughout Liphook, for single jobs and planned programmes alike. Liphook is one of 723 places in Hampshire on our list for mastic joints. We also cover Portsmouth, some 22 miles away.
Postcode districts covered here: GU30. Streets here include London Road, Station Road and Childerstone Close. Close to Liphook, our area also takes in Weavers Down (1 mile west), Conford (1 mile north-west), Passfield (2 miles north-west), Milland (3 miles south) and Longmoor (3 miles west). Further afield, our area takes in Farnborough (15 miles north), Fleet (14 miles north), Horndean (15 miles south-west), Aldershot (12 miles north), Alton (9 miles north-west) and Petersfield (8 miles south-west).
Local landmarks in Liphook
Locally, jobs take us to sites close to The Green Dragon Public House and Liphook Infant School and the streets around them. The nearest railway station is Liphook station, about 0.5 miles south of the centre. A little further out are Chase Community Hospital (3.3 miles north-west). Not far away are Lynchmere Commons and Wheeler's Down.
Keeping the joints sound
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Share these points with them:
- Check sealant joints during planned building inspections
- Keep a record of when each building was resealed
- Look at the sunniest and most exposed elevations first
- Check the asbestos register before any old mastic is disturbed
If paintable sealant was used, decoration can follow once it has cured. Non-paintable silicone shouldn’t be painted over unless told otherwise.
Leaks at window perimeters spoil finishes and can affect frames. Resealing early keeps the job small.
Our process
We follow your site rules from the start: signing in, inductions and any permit to work. Once we are cleared to begin, we take the joints in the sequence agreed with you. Work in places the size of Liphook is planned as a single visit where we can. Photos with rough sizes let us arrive with everything needed.
- We check the asbestos register for older buildings and look at the joints.
- A fixed quote covers the joints, products and order of work.
- We strip out the old sealant.
- Joint faces are cleaned, backed and resealed.
- Buildings are completed in turn.
Before we start on site
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
