About our mastic sealing in Little London
Older blocks and commercial buildings can have mastic that contains asbestos. We check the asbestos register or survey before any old sealant is cut out, and work stops for testing if there’s any doubt. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials. If you’re dealing with complaints coming in block by block and damp patches beside frames, we can put it right, whatever the surface. Most enquiries from Little London start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Owners and agents with buildings around smaller places such as Little London tend to manage small terraces of association properties, converted barns and commercial units. Mastic around frames and on external joints wears out in time, whatever the building.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work in Hampshire. Should something we installed fail, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will come back to it.

Doing it in-house
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class, which is what makes a joint last.
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.

Different surfaces, different methods
Commercial and mixed-use buildings
Landlords with commercial portfolios have shopfronts, office entrances and external joints to look after. We work across portfolios on a planned basis.
External movement joints
Joint size and product are matched to the expected movement, often around 2:1 width to depth, as the manufacturer advises.
On site: what to expect
Inspect, seal, sign off: that’s the shape of every visit. First comes an inspection and agreement on scope, then we prepare and seal each joint with the specified product, and we finish with a walk round so the work can be signed off. For work around Little London, we aim to finish in one visit, so we ask for photographs and rough sizes first. That way the right products come on the day.
- 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.
- Failed mastic is removed completely.
- The joints are prepared and resealed with the right product.
- Buildings are completed in turn.
Getting the site ready
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Send your site hours and access windows

Advice
Do you need mastic sealing in Little London?
The edges of the material itself sometimes break away, such as crumbling render, brick arrises or frame edges. If the edges are unsound, we say so before quoting the sealing.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- No planned programme for sealant
- Draught complaints from residents or tenants
- A mix of products and colours from past repairs
- Estate-wide sealant that is simply worn out
If you’re responsible for a building such as Saint Stephen's Church, frame and door mastic needs the same attention as any other property.
What to look for in a quote
- Their approach to joint depth and backing
- Are they CHAS accredited or on Constructionline?
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
What happens if it’s left?
Resealing ahead of leaks keeps it to a maintenance task. After water has got in, there may be damp, damaged plaster or decoration to put right too, and the complaints come with it. Older rural buildings around Little London move with the seasons, and rigid or tired sealant can’t keep up. A sealant with the right movement capability, correctly sized, lasts far better.
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote and we will put a fixed figure on it.

Looking after buildings in and around Little London
Central London is about 45 miles from Little London. Commuter-belt towns tend to have plenty of managed blocks near stations and town centres, and window and balcony mastic on them tends to age at the same rate. Little London 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.
If you look after a block within reach of Bramley (Hants) station, which lies east of Little London, frame and balcony mastic can be renewed on one programme. Older buildings near Little London, from historic houses such as The Vyne (1.9 miles south-east of Little London) to more modest stock, need compatible products when frames are resealed.

Cost factors for mastic joints
We price every job individually. The things that drive the figure:
- Working within restricted access windows
- How accessible the joints are
- Travel to remote or island sites
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits, along with the time of year for external work.
Before you send an enquiry
Diagnosis starts before we arrive. Let us know:
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- When you need the work done
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- The type of building and who uses it
The quickest route to a quote is a few photos and the site postcode. Upload them with the quote form, or speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings to discuss it first.
Your questions answered
Do you cover business parks and estates near Little London, such as Berry Court Business Park?
Yes, sites like Berry Court Business Park are within our area, along with the rest of Little London. To start, just speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Is Little London off your patch?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. London and every South East county are within our area. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
How many days will you need on site?
That varies with the scale of the job, though a typical visit usually takes a few days for most blocks, with larger programmes scheduled building by building. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we will give you a timescale with the quote.
What guarantee do you give on resealing?
Every building we reseal has a 12-month guarantee. It covers our workmanship, not later building movement, damage or frame failures.
What about access for upper-floor joints?
Every block is different. We agree access with you at quote stage so there are no surprises.
Do you supply RAMS and insurance details?
We’re CHAS accredited, a Constructionline member and carry public liability insurance. For specific documents, tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote.
How do you choose the sealant?
The specification comes first, if there is one. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
