Why it’s worth doing now in Lowford
Adding sealant to cyclical maintenance is an easy win. Leaving it until there’s a leak turns it into reactive work and less choice about when. In a smaller place such as Lowford, getting a contractor back for a second visit takes time, so it’s worth dealing with every failing joint at once.
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.
Why us?
- Clear, fixed quotes
- CHAS accredited
- Public liability insurance in place
- Standard and matched colours in many product ranges

About our mastic sealing in Lowford
Mastic Doctor has sealed joints on commercial and residential blocks since 2005. Our applicators are CSCS-carded, and the work is backed by public liability insurance. Each building we complete carries a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. Most enquiries involve draughts at frames across a block and estate-wide sealant that is simply worn out, on external wall and movement joints, window and door perimeters on blocks and shopfronts below residential blocks. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Lowford tend to want the same three things: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
Converted and older buildings in and around Lowford often put modern windows into old walls. The mastic there needs to suit both surfaces.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

Questions about Lowford
We manage a building near Bursledon station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for agents, landlords and housing associations with blocks of every size. Photos of each elevation help us quote accurately.
Will you work in a care home in Lowford without moving residents out?
Yes. We agree rooms and times with the manager and work a few areas at a time. Any site rules, from signing in to infection control, are agreed before we start.
How long does a job like this take?
It depends on the scope, but the work usually takes one or more days per building, depending on the joint lengths and the access. For bigger or phased jobs, we’ll set out a timescale with the quote.
When is resealing likely to be due?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
Do you guarantee the mastic work?
Every building we reseal has a 12-month guarantee. It applies to our workmanship rather than damage or problems with the frames.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so it all comes out first.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance.
What affects the price in Lowford
What shapes the price:
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Access and working height
- The total length or number of joints
- How much existing material needs removing
Pricing mastic joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access, plus any specification you are working to. Ask us for a fixed quote.
Before you send an enquiry
There’s no need for a formal survey. These details are enough to start:
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- Your programme or deadline
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
Send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed: that’s how every job runs. The first step is to phone 01277 525 020 or use the quote form with what you know.
When it isn’t the sealant
A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. You’ll hear from us if the cause turns out to be one of these:
- Materials that need asbestos testing before work
- Roof leaks, gutters or failed flashings that aren’t sealant joints
- Substrate edges that need repairing first
If you’re not sure, just speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
- External wall and movement joints
- Balcony and threshold joints
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
From enquiry to sign-off
Occupied buildings need a little choreography. The work area is signed and kept contained, keep walkways clear and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use. If neighbouring businesses or buildings around Lowford need work too, visits can be combined. Mention the building’s opening times and we’ll work within them.
- Each block or building is walked and the failed joints recorded with the likely cause.
- A fixed quote follows, split by block or building if that suits you.
- The sequence and the dates are fixed with you, giving you what you need to notify occupiers.
- Failed mastic is removed and the faces taken back to sound, dry material.
- Backing rod and primer go in as the joint requires, then the new bead is placed and tooled.
- Completed joints are inspected and carry a 12-month workmanship guarantee.
Getting the site ready
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings

Aftercare for building managers
For the best life from the joints:
- Start inspections with the most exposed faces
- Ask residents or tenants to report leaks and draughts early
- Reduce knocks to communal area joints
- Share your contractor requirements early
Include sealant in planned building inspections. Check for splits, open joints, brittle mastic and lifting edges, and note the building and elevation.
Leaks at window perimeters spoil finishes and can affect frames. Early resealing is far simpler than repairs inside.
How the job changes by surface
External movement joints
Failed sealant is removed, backing rod inserted to control depth and the joint resealed with a grade whose movement class fits.
Estate-wide resealing programmes
A programme can start with the worst buildings and work down. Quotes can be per block or for the full programme.
Mastic sealing around Lowford: how the place shapes the job
The sea is no more than about 2 miles from Lowford. For owners and agents with buildings near the sea, exposed elevations are where frame mastic fails first. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Outside mastic still needs a dry joint and the right temperature, while the elevations that take the most sun tend to show hardened mastic first.
If your remit includes a building such as Bursledon Church of England Infant School, frame and door mastic can be programmed for the holidays. Older community buildings, St Paul’s Church among them, often have frames of mixed ages whose mastic varies. Property owners at sites such as Hedge End Retail Park, 1.8 miles to the north of Lowford, can have mastic renewed between lettings.
Lowford is about 2 miles south-west of Hedge End, in Hampshire. Businesses, contractors and managing agents in Lowford use us for work on mastic joints. We work across 723 places in Hampshire.
