About our mastic sealing in Lord's Wood
In buildings from before 2000, some old mastics contain asbestos. Before we disturb it, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey, and work stops for testing if there’s any doubt. Removing asbestos-containing material isn’t something we do. The enquiries we see most involve repeated reactive repairs to the same buildings and movement joints with sealant missing, on shopfronts below residential blocks, external wall and movement joints and balcony and threshold joints. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in Lord's Wood, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Owners and agents with buildings around smaller places such as Lord's Wood 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.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we’re upfront about that.

Block-wide mastic in Lord's Wood
Central London is about 64 miles from Lord's Wood. Managed blocks of flats are a big part of commuter-belt property; their frame mastic often ages block-wide. Rainfall across the South East, Lord's Wood included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Outside mastic still needs a dry joint and the right temperature, and elevations facing the sun and the prevailing weather are usually where frame mastic ages first.
With historic buildings such as South Stoneham House (to the south-west of Lord's Wood) in the wider area, owners of older properties around Lord's Wood should expect mastic to need a product that suits old masonry. If you own or manage units on a site such as Wessex Business Park, which lies north-east of Lord's Wood, failed mastic on frames, door surrounds and external joints can be dealt with unit by unit.
Lord's Wood is about 2 miles north-east of Eastleigh, in Hampshire. We send applicators to Lord's Wood for mastic joints, handled exactly as we handle every other area. Our Hampshire coverage takes in 723 places, large and small. There’s a separate page for Southampton, about 6 miles away.

What the job involves on each surface
Estate-wide resealing programmes
An estate of similar buildings suits a rolling programme. Each block is priced and scheduled in order.
External movement joints
Failed sealant is removed, backing rod inserted to control depth and the joint resealed with a grade whose movement class fits.
What happens if it’s left?
Draughts round window perimeters cost occupiers comfort and the windows usually get the blame. In many cases, new perimeter sealant deals with it where the frames themselves are sound. Older rural buildings around Lord's Wood move with the seasons, and rigid or tired sealant can’t keep up. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote and we’ll put a fixed figure on it.
What you get with us
- A Constructionline member, so easy to vet
- Colour options checked against the specified product
- A range of standard colours, depending on the product
- Colours chosen to suit frames, cladding or finishes where possible

Common problems we fix in Lord's Wood
Much failed sealant was laid on dirty, dusty or damp surfaces. Without clean, sound faces and a primer where the product needs one it comes away from one face.
Look out for the following:
- Open joints in brickwork or panels
- Communal area joints that look neglected
- No planned programme for sealant
- Cracked, hardened mastic round windows on a block
For agents with blocks near Eastleigh station, 1.6 miles south-west of Lord's Wood, a block-wide mastic programme deals with frames, balconies and entrances in one go.

What else we do in Lord's Wood
After the work
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Pass these on to them:
- Prioritise elevations facing the weather
- Keep bins and bikes away from communal door frames
- Have the asbestos survey to hand for older buildings
- Include mastic in your cyclical inspections
Encourage occupiers to report water or draughts at frames. A quick report keeps a small repair small.
Budgets are easier to plan when sealant is part of planned maintenance. We can quote buildings in priority order so spending is spread.
When it isn’t the sealant
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we are upfront when that’s the case. These need a different solution:
- Broken glass or failed sealed units
- Asbestos-containing sealant, which we don’t remove
- Substrate edges that need repairing first
If you are not sure, just phone 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will give you a straight answer.
What we seal
- Balcony and threshold joints
- Window and door perimeters on blocks

Questions about Lord's Wood
Do you work for managing agents with blocks near Eastleigh station?
Yes, we work for agents, landlords and housing associations with blocks of every size. Send the address, photos of the elevations and your access arrangements, and we will give a fixed quote.
Can you work at a site such as Wessex Business Park, by Lord's Wood?
Yes. We cover Lord's Wood and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Wessex Business Park. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
When can the area be used after sealing?
That comes down to the sealant and the temperature. Some products skin over quickly but need longer to cure fully, so we will confirm the curing time on the day.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
Outside, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Inside work is seldom held up.
How many days will you need on site?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. You will have an expected duration with the quote.
Can you reseal a whole block or estate?
Yes. We survey and price each building, then work through them in order starting wherever is most urgent.
How do you handle work on occupied blocks?
The work is planned around occupiers. Dates and areas are agreed with you so residents or tenants can be told and communal access is kept open.
