About our mastic sealing in Milford on Sea
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. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials. We work on communal kitchens and washrooms, external wall and movement joints and shopfronts below residential blocks, and what we are called in for most is repeated reactive repairs to the same buildings and open joints in brickwork or panels. Whoever orders the work in Milford on Sea, the brief is typically the same: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
Owners with buildings around smaller places like Milford on Sea often group mastic work so one visit covers several properties. One quote can cover a whole list of addresses.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: twelve months on the work we carried out. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

How the job changes by surface
Estate-wide resealing programmes
An estate of similar buildings suits a rolling programme. We quote building by building and work through them in turn.
External movement joints
Movement joints are cleaned out, backed with rod and resealed with a sealant of the right movement class.
Common problems we fix in Milford on Sea
Topping up old mastic is a common shortcut. New silicone has nothing to grip on old silicone, so these repairs rarely last.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- Old repairs sealed over failed mastic
- Cracked, hardened mastic round windows on a block
- Failed external movement joints
- Water getting in round frames after rain
Blocks of flats and mixed-use buildings often cluster around stations such as Lymington Town station (to the north-east of Milford on Sea) and their window and balcony mastic tends to age at the same rate across a building.
What to look for in a quote
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
- What site paperwork they can supply
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
Questions we’re asked in Milford on Sea
We manage a building near Lymington Town station. Can you help?
Yes, and several blocks can go on one quote. Send the address, photographs of the elevations and your access arrangements, and we will give a fixed quote.
Is a smaller place like Milford on Sea outside your area?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it.
Will residents or tenants be disturbed?
We plan around people living or working in the building. Dates and areas are agreed with you so residents or tenants can be told, and entrances stay in use.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
Can you take on resealing for a block portfolio?
Yes, block and estate work is a core part of what we do. Buildings are scheduled in turn with dates agreed in advance.
Do you supply RAMS and insurance details?
Our credentials include CHAS, Constructionline and public liability insurance. For specific documents, tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote.
Planned mastic for Milford on Sea portfolios
Milford on Sea is within about 1 mile of the coast. Sea-facing elevations take driven rain and salt, and their mastic shows it before the sheltered sides do, and they deserve more regular inspection. Milford on Sea is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. Outside work still depends on dry joints, and south- and west-facing elevations, which take the most sun and rain, often age first.
Site managers at schools like Milford-on-Sea Church of England Primary School can fit frame mastic into the summer works. Older community buildings, Church of All Saints among them, often have frames of mixed ages whose mastic varies.

Should maintenance staff do it?
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
The visible bead is only part of the job. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are easy to get wrong without experience.
Maintenance after handover
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Share these points with them:
- Plan resealing building by building rather than complaint by complaint
- Protect low-level joints in entrances
- Check sealant joints during planned building inspections
- Look at the sunniest and most exposed elevations first
Encourage occupiers to report water or draughts at frames. A quick report keeps a small repair small.
Planned resealing is easier to budget than emergency repairs. We can quote buildings in priority order so spending is spread.
