Mastic sealing in Locksgreen
On a residential block, the work happens around people’s lives. The sequence, the areas and the dates are settled with you so you can let residents know what is happening. Communal entrances and stairs stay usable while we work. We work on balcony and threshold joints, window and door perimeters on blocks and communal entrances and stairwells, and what we are called in for most is movement joints with sealant missing and no planned programme for sealant. For commercial sealant work in Locksgreen, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
Rural conversions near places like Locksgreen often set modern frames into older stone, flint or brick. Perimeter mastic there has to grip an uneven face and suit the building’s character.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months, in Locksgreen as everywhere else we work. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

Common problems we fix in Locksgreen
Poor preparation explains many failed joints. Without clean, sound faces and a primer where the product needs one, the bead peels off one side.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Damp patches beside frames
- Repeated reactive repairs to the same buildings
- Occupiers reporting cold air round windows
- Movement joints with sealant missing
Older buildings near Locksgreen, from historic houses such as Swainston Manor, 1.7 miles to the south of Locksgreen, to more modest stock, need compatible products when frames are resealed.
Questions to ask before you book
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
- Their pre-qualification and accreditations
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
- How they’ll work around occupants
What sealant work can’t fix
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Cracked or crumbling render, brick or stone at the joint edges (we will tell you if so)
- Water coming in from the roof or rainwater goods
- Broken glass or failed sealed units
If in doubt, ring 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will say what we think.

Leave it or put it right?
Piecemeal repairs over the years often leave mismatched sealant. Resealing a whole building gives a consistent finish. Converted and older buildings near places like Locksgreen tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.
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.

On site: what to expect
A typical day starts with protection: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. The work itself usually takes one or more days per building, depending on the joint lengths and the access, and we clear our waste as we work. Jobs in and around smaller places like Locksgreen are normally planned as a single visit, so photographs and measurements up front really help. That way the right products come on the day.
- 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.
What we need from you

When to bring in a specialist
Certain joints really need a specialist: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
Redoing a failed joint typically costs more than getting it right at the outset, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
Questions about Locksgreen
Can being near the sea in Locksgreen affect the sealant we need?
It can. Wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt air are harder on external joints. That puts more weight on product choice, primers where the manufacturer specifies them, and correct joint sizing.
Is a smaller place like Locksgreen outside your area?
No. Places such as Locksgreen are covered as much as the big towns. London and every South East county are within our area. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Do you work for managing agents and housing associations?
Yes. Most of our mastic sealing is for agents, factors, housing associations and portfolio landlords and work can be quoted per building or as a whole.
Is mastic sealing guaranteed?
A 12-month guarantee covers our work. It applies to our workmanship rather than damage or problems with the frames.
Does the weather affect the work?
It can, for external work. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Internal work is far less affected.
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: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
Can you send RAMS and CSCS details before starting?
Our credentials include CHAS, Constructionline and 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.
Frames, entrances and external joints in Locksgreen
The sea is no more than about 2 miles from Locksgreen. Sea-facing elevations take driven rain and salt, and their mastic shows it before the sheltered sides do. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Outside mastic still needs a dry joint and the right temperature, and the sunniest, most exposed sides of a building usually need attention first.
For owners of several units at places like Porchfield Business Park, which lies west of Locksgreen, one programme can deal with frame and external mastic across the lot.

What’s near Locksgreen
Locally, jobs take us to sites close to Sportsman's Rest pub and the streets around them. Well-known places in the area include Calbourne Water Mill And Rural Museum (3 miles south-west) and Carisbrooke Castle (3.1 miles south-east). For a walk, there’s Brighstone Down.
Aftercare for building managers
Once the work is signed off, a little attention goes a long way:
- Plan resealing building by building rather than complaint by complaint
- Make it easy for occupiers to report draughts
- Start inspections with the most exposed faces
- Mention RAMS, insurance or CSCS requirements up front
Keep bins, bikes and deliveries away from low-level joints where you can. Damage at low level is the most common reason communal joints fail early.
Mastic fails gradually, then all at once in a wet spell. Resealing when cracking first shows avoids water damage and saves internal repairs.
