Mastic sealing in Long Sutton, done properly
There isn’t one mastic for every joint on a building. Window perimeters and external joints often take a low-modulus neutral-cure silicone, while hybrid polymer sealants grip many materials and are often paintable, and colours are confirmed for whichever product is used. We work on shopfronts below residential blocks, balcony and threshold joints and window and door perimeters on blocks, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are cracked, hardened mastic round windows on a block and leaks at window and door perimeters. Most enquiries from Long Sutton start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
For owners with a single building near Long Sutton, we plan to finish in one visit where possible. Send photographs of the frames and joints and we will give a fixed quote.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we are clear about what is covered before work starts.

Looking after buildings in and around Long Sutton
Long Sutton is about 41 miles from central London. Around the capital’s commuter belt, managing agents look after many blocks close to stations and town centres. Long Sutton sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Even so, frame mastic only goes on in dry, workable conditions, and south- and west-facing elevations, which take the most sun and rain, often age first.
Older community buildings, Church of All Saints among them, often have frames of mixed ages whose mastic varies. Buildings close to stations like Bentley (Hampshire) station (to the south-east of Long Sutton) are often flats over shops, with frame mastic to keep sound.
Long Sutton is about 5 miles north of Alton, in Hampshire. We send applicators to Long Sutton for mastic joints, handled exactly as we handle every other area. Across Hampshire, 723 places are covered, Long Sutton among them. Reading is covered too, around 16 miles from Long Sutton.

Honest limits
Part of a good diagnosis is knowing where sealant stops. You’ll hear from us if the cause turns out to be any of the following:
- Asbestos-containing sealant, which we don’t remove
- Water coming in from the roof or rainwater goods
- Substrate edges that need repairing first
Not sure which it is? You can give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

When to call us in Long Sutton
Buildings move with temperature and moisture, and the sealant takes up that movement. If the joint or the product wasn’t suited to the movement, it splits and fails early.
Look out for the following:
- Leaks at window and door perimeters
- Draughts at frames across a block
- No planned programme for sealant
- Window mastic that has split and shrunk
For a school such as Long Sutton Church of England Primary School, perimeter mastic on windows and doors is a holiday job.

How the quote is worked out
Your fixed quote is built from the real scope. It takes account of:
- Distance, for remote addresses
- How much there is to seal
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- The product specified
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: 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.
Details that help us quote
Whether it’s one area or a whole building, the same details help:
- The type of building and who uses it
- Any dates the work must fit around
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
Every quote starts with the facts: what’s there, how much of it, how we reach it and what’s specified. Send what you have, and we will arrange a site visit if anything is unclear.
On site: what to expect
On arrival, we sign in, go through any site induction and check how permits are handled. Everything around the joints gets protected before any cutting starts, and the work typically takes a day or two for a single block, longer for an estate programme. For a building around Long Sutton, tell us how to find it and who will meet us. Send that with the details and we’ll confirm the plan with the quote.

Advice
Your questions answered
Is Long Sutton too small for you to travel to?
Not at all. Long Sutton is within our area. We work across Greater London and the South East. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Will you take on a block within reach of Bentley (Hampshire) station?
Yes. Blocks of any size are within what we do. Send the address, photographs of the elevations and your access arrangements, and we will give a fixed quote.
What guarantee do you give on resealing?
Our workmanship carries a 12-month guarantee, backed by public liability insurance.
Do you check for asbestos in old sealant?
Asbestos removal isn’t part of our work. If old sealant is suspected, work stops until it’s tested in line with the dutyholder’s asbestos management.
How do you choose the sealant?
The specification comes first, if there is one. Without one, the joint decides: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and the quote will be based on it.
What paperwork can you provide?
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.
Aftercare for building managers
After handover, these steps help:
- Include mastic in your cyclical inspections
- Look at the sunniest and most exposed elevations first
- List the paperwork your organisation requires when you send details
- Have the asbestos survey to hand for older buildings
If paintable sealant was used, decoration can follow once it has cured. Non-paintable silicone shouldn’t be painted over unless told otherwise.
Water getting in round frames can damage plaster, decoration and the frames themselves. Resealing early keeps the job small.
General trades versus a specialist
There’s also the paperwork. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and we’ll confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
