How we handle mastic sealing in Lovedean
Across Lovedean and the rest of Hampshire, we work the same way: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed. A list of buildings, a few photographs and approximate joint numbers are enough for a quick quote, and site visits can be arranged. If you have draught complaints from residents or tenants and window mastic that has split and shrunk, we can put it right. Whoever orders the work in Lovedean, the brief is normally the same: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
In and around smaller places like Lovedean, landlords and agents often look after small groups of housing association properties, converted farm buildings and community buildings. Mastic around frames and on external joints wears out in time, whatever the building.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we’re clear about what is covered before work starts.

Planned mastic for Lovedean portfolios
Lovedean has three care or nursing homes no more than 2 miles away. Owners of care premises can bring window and door mastic into a phased programme planned around the home. Lovedean lies roughly 57 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.
Landlords with units on estates such as Westfield Industrial Estate (1.3 miles east of Lovedean) can bring frame, door and external mastic across several units into one programme. For agents with blocks near Rowlands Castle station, 3.3 miles to the south-east of Lovedean, a block-wide mastic programme deals with frames, balconies and entrances in one go.
Lovedean is about 1 mile west of Horndean, in Hampshire. We send applicators to Lovedean for mastic joints, handled exactly as we handle every other area. Across Hampshire, 723 places are covered, including Lovedean. Our Portsmouth page has more on work in that area (7 miles or so).

What we’re called out for in Lovedean
Communal entrances and corridors see a lot of wear, and low-level joints get damaged. Cleaning products add to the wear.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- The same joint failures repeated across a portfolio
- Window mastic that has split and shrunk
- Draughts at frames across a block
- No planned programme for sealant
For a school such as Woodcroft Primary, perimeter mastic on windows and doors is a holiday job.
Questions to ask before you book
- How they’ll work around occupants
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
- Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?
Common questions from Lovedean clients
We manage a building near Rowlands Castle station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for agents, landlords and housing associations with blocks of every size. Give us the building’s details and say how residents are notified, and we’ll quote and plan to suit.
Will you work in a care home in Lovedean without moving residents out?
Yes. We agree rooms and times with the manager and work a few areas at a time. Tell us about any infection-control or safeguarding requirements and we will work to them.
What guarantee do you give on resealing?
A 12-month guarantee covers our work. It covers our workmanship, not later building movement, damage or frame failures.
Can weather delay the job?
It can, when the joints are outside. 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.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and we will price the work to it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
What paperwork can you provide?
We’re CHAS accredited, a Constructionline member and carry public liability insurance. Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote.
When can the area be used after sealing?
The product and site conditions decide that. Some products skin over quickly but need longer to cure fully, and we confirm it before leaving site.
Why deal with it now?
Dealing with failed joints one report at a time is slow and scattered. Planned resealing covers a whole building or estate in one go and is simpler to manage and budget. Halls, stores and units around places like Lovedean may not be checked every day, so a failed joint can leak for a while before anyone sees it. Resealing early avoids that.
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits, along with the time of year for external work.

Looking after the joints
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Keep a record of when each building was resealed
- Prioritise elevations facing the weather
- Check sealant joints during planned building inspections
- Have the asbestos survey to hand for older buildings
Where a paintable product was specified, it can be painted after curing. Non-paintable silicone shouldn’t be painted over.
The longer failed joints are left, the more likely the substrate edges break up. Then the edges may need repairing first.
Our process
We bring the products specified for the job, along with primers and backing rod. Joint faces are cleaned back to sound, dry surfaces, primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, and each bead is tooled to a neat concave finish. For a building around Lovedean, 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.
- We check the asbestos register for older buildings and look at the joints.
- The products and programme are set out in a fixed quote.

- Buildings are completed in turn.
Preparing the site

Related advice
What the job involves on each surface
Planned maintenance
Resealing can be scheduled alongside other planned works on a timetable you set.
Window and door perimeters on blocks
On most blocks, the frame-to-wall joint is where failure shows first. We remove the failed mastic, prepare the faces, add backing rod if the joint is deep and reseal.
Doing it in-house
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. Where it goes wrong is preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
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.
