How a job runs
The first thing on site is a walk round with your contact, agreeing which joints are in scope, where to start and what must stay open. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in. For a site in Lordswood, we plan so the whole job is done in one go where possible. Photos with rough sizes let us arrive with everything needed.
- A building-by-building inspection lists the failed joints.
- The quote is fixed and split as suits you.
- Dates and areas are agreed so occupiers can be told.
- Old mastic is removed and the joint faces prepared.
- Joints are resealed and tooled.
- We check the finished work and confirm the guarantee.
Before we start on site

Mastic sealing for commercial buildings in Lordswood
Different joints need different sealants. Low-modulus neutral-cure silicone suits many window perimeters and external movement joints, and MS polymer sealants stick well to many substrates and often take paint. We’ll confirm the colours available for the specified product. We work on shopfronts below residential blocks, communal kitchens and washrooms and window and door perimeters on blocks, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are damaged joints in communal entrances and corridors and the same joint failures repeated across a portfolio. Whoever orders the work in Lordswood, the brief is normally the same: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
Places the size of Lordswood typically have some housing association stock, small blocks and mixed-use buildings. The mastic around their frames and external joints ages like anywhere else.
Every job is signed off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

When to call us in Lordswood
UV and rain age external sealant. The surface chalks, the body stiffens and cracks appear most of all on the sunniest and most exposed elevations.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- The same joint failures repeated across a portfolio
- Patchy repairs in mismatched sealant
- Repeated reactive repairs to the same buildings
- Water getting in round frames after rain
Property owners at sites such as Northbrook Industrial Estate (to the south of Lordswood) can have mastic renewed between lettings.
What your quote should include
- Their approach to joint depth and backing
- The terms of the workmanship guarantee
- How they handle RAMS and site documents

Common questions from Lordswood clients
We manage a building near Millbrook (Hants) station. Can you help?
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’ll give a fixed quote.
Is a smaller place like Lordswood outside your area?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
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, and the duty to manage asbestos sits with the dutyholder.
How long will the new sealant last?
There isn’t a single answer, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
What guarantee do you give on resealing?
Every building we reseal has a 12-month guarantee. It applies to our workmanship rather than damage or problems with the frames.
Who decides which product is used?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
Can you seal joints high up on a block?
We talk through access for each building when we quote. Tell us the number of storeys and whether scaffold or other access is planned, and we’ll tell you how we’d approach it.
Owners, agents and contractors
Facilities managers want contractors who arrive with the paperwork sorted. Let us know the documents you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm them with the quote.
When you manage a building on behalf of an owner, clear figures and clear communication matter. You get a fixed quote, an agreed scope and a walk round at the end, plus a 12-month guarantee.
Frames, entrances and external joints in Lordswood
The sea is no more than about 3 miles from Lordswood. On buildings near the shore, the side facing the weather normally needs its mastic renewed first, and they deserve more regular inspection. Rainfall across the South East, Lordswood included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Outside work still depends on dry joints, and elevations facing the sun and the prevailing weather are usually where frame mastic ages first.
For agents with blocks near Millbrook (Hants) station, which lies south of Lordswood, a block-wide mastic programme deals with frames, balconies and entrances in one go. Churches, halls and community buildings such as Lord's Hill Church are looked after by trustees and committees like any other owner, and their frames, doors and external joints need mastic renewed in time.

Resealing can be scheduled alongside other planned works, building by building.
Estate-wide resealing programmes
Using the same products throughout keeps the estate consistent and easier to manage.
Should maintenance staff do it?
There’s also the paperwork. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are easy to get wrong without experience.
What sealant work can’t fix
A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. We will tell you if the real problem is any of the following:
- Roof leaks, gutters or failed flashings that aren’t sealant joints
- Materials that need asbestos testing before work
- Cracked or crumbling render, brick or stone at the joint edges (we’ll tell you if so)
If you’re not sure, just ring 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
