Mastic sealing in Matchams
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 work stops for testing if there’s any doubt. Removing asbestos-containing material isn’t something we do. Site teams most often ask us about repeated reactive repairs to the same buildings and the same joint failures repeated across a portfolio, on external wall and movement joints, balcony and threshold joints and communal entrances and stairwells. Searching for sealant specialists in Matchams? We have been sealing commercial buildings since 2005.
In and around smaller places like Matchams, 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.
Work we carry out in Hampshire comes with a 12-month guarantee. Should something we installed fail, ring 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll come back to it.

When it isn’t the sealant
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we’re upfront when that’s the case. It won’t fix:
- Old mastic suspected of containing asbestos, which must be tested and dealt with by a specialist first
- Roof leaks, gutters or failed flashings that aren’t sealant joints
- Cracked or crumbling render, brick or stone at the joint edges (we will tell you if so)
If you are not sure, just phone 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- External wall and movement joints
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
- Balcony and threshold joints
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
Why it’s worth doing now in Matchams
Adding sealant to cyclical maintenance is an easy win. Leaving it until there’s a leak turns it into reactive work with less control over timing. Converted and older buildings near places like Matchams tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. A sealant with the right movement capability, correctly sized, lasts far better.
The work involved drives the cost: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a fixed quote and we will explain how it’s made up.

Advice
Common problems we fix in Matchams
In communal areas, joints take knocks from bins, bikes, buggies and deliveries, and low-level joints get damaged. Regular cleaning wears them further.
Clients normally get in touch after noticing one or more of the following:
- Estate-wide sealant that is simply worn out
- Brittle perimeter mastic across a building
- Failed external movement joints
- Water getting in round frames after rain
With historic buildings such as Avon Tyrrell House (3.6 miles east of Matchams) in the wider area, owners of older properties around Matchams should expect mastic to need a product that suits old masonry.

For owners and agents in Matchams
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Even so, frame mastic only goes on in dry, workable conditions, and elevations facing the sun and the prevailing weather are usually where frame mastic ages first.
Property owners at sites such as Millstream Trading Estate, 2 miles north-east of Matchams, can have mastic renewed between lettings.

When to bring in a specialist
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are easy to get wrong without experience.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. Where it goes wrong is preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
