Mastic sealing across Lower Burgate
Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
Work for main contractors and building owners
Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units book us directly too. The work is planned around how the building runs, so the building keeps working while we do.
Planned maintenance programmes are welcome: working through a building or an estate in stages that fit your budget. Sites in Lower Burgate can sit alongside others in a wider programme across Hampshire.
Mastic sealing in Lower Burgate
In buildings from before 2000, some old mastics contain asbestos. We check the asbestos register or survey before any old sealant is cut out and if it’s suspected, work stops until it’s tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials. If you’re dealing with leaks at window and door perimeters and communal area joints that look neglected, we can help, on external wall and movement joints, balcony and threshold joints and communal kitchens and washrooms alike. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Lower Burgate from the first photographs to the final walk-round, whether it’s one building or several.
In and around smaller places like Lower Burgate, 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.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

On site: what to expect
A typical day starts with protection: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. The work itself usually takes one or more days per building, depending on the joint lengths and the access, and we clear our waste as we work. For work around Lower Burgate, we aim to finish in one visit, so we ask for photos and rough sizes first. That way the right products come on the day.

Keeping the joints sound
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Pass these on to them:
- Include mastic in your cyclical inspections
- Make it easy for occupiers to report draughts
- Track which buildings were done and when
- Plan resealing building by building rather than complaint by complaint
Ask residents or tenants to report draughts or leaks round windows early. Early reports catch failures before damage spreads.
Water getting in round frames can damage plaster, decoration and the frames themselves. Early resealing is far simpler than repairs inside.
FAQs: Lower Burgate
Can you work at a site such as Arch Farm Industrial Estate, by Lower Burgate?
Yes, sites like Arch Farm Industrial Estate are within our area, along with the rest of Lower Burgate. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Will you price a mastic programme across our Lower Burgate portfolio?
Yes, we quote for single buildings and for programmes across several blocks. Send the addresses and photos and we will give a fixed quote.
How long does a job like this take?
That varies with the scale of the job, but the work normally takes a few days for most blocks, with larger programmes scheduled building by building. For bigger or phased jobs, we will set out a timescale with the quote.
Does the weather affect the work?
It can, when the joints are outside. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Internal work is far less affected.
Do you work for managing agents and housing associations?
Yes. Most of our mastic sealing is for agents, factors, housing associations and portfolio landlords and work can be quoted per building or as a whole.
How do you reach windows on upper floors?
It depends on the building. We agree access with you at quote stage so there are no surprises.
How do you choose the sealant?
The specification comes first, if there is one. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
Surface by surface
External movement joints
Movement joints are cleaned out, backed with rod and resealed with a sealant of the right movement class.
Tenement and older buildings
Older mastic can contain asbestos, so we check the asbestos register or survey first. Suspect material is tested before work continues.
Planned mastic for Lower Burgate portfolios
Rainfall across the South East, Lower Burgate included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Outside work still depends on dry joints, while the elevations that take the most sun tend to show hardened mastic first.
Older community buildings, St Mary's Church among them, often have frames of mixed ages whose mastic varies. Site managers at schools like The Burgate School and Sixth Form can fit frame mastic into the summer works. Historic properties like Breamore House, 2.2 miles to the north of Lower Burgate, show the age of some local stock, where frame mastic must suit soft brick or stone.
