About our mastic sealing in Little Holbury
Blocks are lived in, so access and disruption have to be thought through. Dates, areas and the order of work are agreed with you in advance, giving you what you need to notify residents. Entrances and stairwells are kept in use throughout. The enquiries we see most involve draught complaints from residents or tenants and mastic failing across several blocks on an estate, across communal entrances and stairwells, external wall and movement joints and window and door perimeters on blocks. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, the work in Little Holbury is the same: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Owners and agents with buildings around smaller places such as Little Holbury tend to manage small terraces of association properties, converted barns and commercial units. Frame and wall-joint mastic on all of them ages and hardens.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months, wherever the site is. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

Why it’s worth doing now in Little Holbury
Draughts round window perimeters cost occupiers comfort and the windows normally get the blame. In many cases, new perimeter sealant deals with it where the frames themselves are sound. Halls, stores and units around places like Little Holbury may not be checked every day, so a failed joint can leak for a while before anyone sees it. Renewing joints in good time avoids the problem.
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.

Should maintenance staff do it?
Paperwork matters too. 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.
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
Maintenance after handover
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Ask residents or tenants to report leaks and draughts early
- Protect low-level joints in entrances
- Avoid piecemeal callouts where you can
- Include mastic in your cyclical inspections
Where a paintable product was specified, it can be painted after curing. Silicone usually can’t be painted, so keep decorators off it unless told otherwise.
Water getting in round frames can damage plaster, decoration and the frames themselves. Early resealing is far simpler than repairs inside.
For managing agents and facilities managers
FMs need a contractor who is easy to get on site. Tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we will confirm with the quote.
Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients come to us directly as well. The work is planned around how the building runs, so the building keeps working while we do.
Block-wide mastic in Little Holbury
Little Holbury is within about 2 miles of the coast. On buildings near the shore, the side facing the weather normally needs its mastic renewed first. 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 normally need attention first.
Landlords with units on estates such as Glenmore Business Park (0.6 miles north of Little Holbury) can bring frame, door and external mastic across several units into one programme. For a school such as Manor Church of England Infant School, perimeter mastic on windows and doors is a holiday job. Blocks of flats and mixed-use buildings often cluster around stations such as Netley station, 3.6 miles to the north-east of Little Holbury, and their window and balcony mastic tends to age at the same rate across a building.

Advice
What affects the price in Little Holbury
These are the things that shape the price:
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- How much there is to seal
- The product specified
- Whether the work must be split into stages
The work involved drives the cost: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a fixed quote and we will explain how it’s made up.
What we need to price the job
However big the job, these details speed things up:
- Clear photos of the problem areas
- Any dates the work must fit around
- The site address and postcode
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we’ll price against exactly what is specified. For smaller jobs, photos and a description will do.
Little Holbury: questions and answers
Will you take on work at estates like Glenmore Business Park, close to Little Holbury?
Yes. We cover Little Holbury and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Glenmore Business Park. To start, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Can being near the sea in Little Holbury affect the sealant we need?
It can. Wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt air are harder on external joints. Product choice and preparation matter more, and sea-facing elevations are worth inspecting more often.
Is asbestos a concern with old mastic?
We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials. If old sealant is suspected, work stops until it’s tested in line with the dutyholder’s asbestos management.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
How long will the new sealant last?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
Will you quote for a small job?
We quote for single jobs as well as large packages and programmes. Send details for a fixed quote.
Do you supply RAMS and insurance details?
We are CHAS accredited, a Constructionline member and carry public liability insurance. Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote.
