What we are called out for in Lodsworth
Much failed sealant was laid on dirty, dusty or damp surfaces. Where the faces weren’t cleaned or primed as specified, the bead peels off one side.
Look out for the following:
- Complaints coming in block by block
- A mix of products and colours from past repairs
- Movement joints with sealant missing
- Occupiers reporting cold air round windows
Property owners at sites such as Hurstfold Industrial Estate, 2.6 miles to the north-west of Lodsworth, can have mastic renewed between lettings.
What your quote should include
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
- How they’ll work around occupants
- How long is the guarantee, and what does it include?
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
Mastic sealing for commercial buildings in Lodsworth
Mastic Doctor has sealed joints on commercial and residential blocks since 2005. Every applicator holds a CSCS card, and the work is backed by public liability insurance. Each building we complete carries a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. Site teams most often ask us about worn sealant at communal door frames and patchy repairs in mismatched sealant, across shopfronts below residential blocks, window and door perimeters on blocks and communal entrances and stairwells. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, the work in Lodsworth is the same: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
In and around smaller places like Lodsworth, landlords and agents often look after small groups of housing association properties, converted farm buildings and community buildings. Frame and wall-joint mastic on all of them ages and hardens.
Work we carry out comes with a 12-month guarantee. Should something we installed fail, ring 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll come back to it.

Why deal with it now?
Resealing ahead of leaks keeps it to a maintenance task. Once water has tracked in, the repair list grows and occupiers notice. Older rural buildings around Lodsworth move with the seasons, and rigid or tired sealant can’t keep up. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.
We don’t publish prices, since every building and every scope is different. For a fixed figure, call for a quote and we’ll price your job on its own details.

After the work
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Share these points with them:
- Reduce knocks to communal area joints
- Check sealant joints during planned building inspections
- Start inspections with the most exposed faces
- Ask residents or tenants to report leaks and draughts early
Log the date and extent of the resealing for each block. It helps plan the next round and gives you a history.
One failed perimeter usually means others on the same building are close, so it pays to look at the whole elevation. Doing them together saves going back again and again.

Blocks and managed buildings in Lodsworth
Lodsworth lies roughly 43 miles out from central London. Around the capital’s commuter belt, managing agents look after many blocks close to stations and town centres, and window and balcony mastic on them tends to age at the same rate. Lodsworth is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. Even so, frame mastic only goes on in dry, workable conditions, and elevations facing the sun and the prevailing weather are normally where frame mastic ages first.
Historic properties like Cowdray House (2.4 miles south-west of Lodsworth) show the age of some local stock, where frame mastic must suit soft brick or stone. Older community buildings, The Parish Church of St Peter among them, often have frames of mixed ages whose mastic varies.
Lodsworth is about 11 miles east of Petersfield, in West Sussex. Businesses, contractors and managing agents in Lodsworth can call on us for mastic joints. Across West Sussex, 373 places are covered, Lodsworth among them. Portsmouth is covered too, around 22 miles from Lodsworth.

Related advice
Lodsworth: questions and answers
Is Lodsworth off your patch?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We work across Greater London and the South East. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Can you work at a site such as Hurstfold Industrial Estate, by Lodsworth?
Yes, sites like Hurstfold Industrial Estate are within our area, along with the rest of Lodsworth. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
How much does the work cost?
That depends on the job: quantities, access, the product and any phasing. Call for a quote.
What about access for upper-floor joints?
Every block is different. How upper joints are reached is agreed before work is booked so there are no surprises.
How do you handle work on occupied blocks?
Occupiers stay in the building throughout. If any flats or units need access, we will tell you in advance so you can arrange it with occupiers.
What’s the quickest route to a quote?
It works in four steps: send details, receive a fixed quote, we carry out the work, and it’s guaranteed. Step one needs little more than photos and a postcode.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. Where it goes wrong is preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
