Mastic sealing in North Fareham
Older blocks and commercial buildings can have mastic that contains asbestos. Before we disturb it, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey and if it’s suspected, work stops until it’s tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials. If you have estate-wide sealant that is simply worn out and occupiers reporting cold air round windows, we can put it right, on shopfronts below residential blocks, communal kitchens and washrooms and external wall and movement joints alike. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, in North Fareham it comes down to the same thing: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
For owners with a single building near North Fareham, we plan to finish in one visit where possible. Send photographs of the frames and joints and we will give a fixed quote.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: twelve months on the work we carried out. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we’re upfront about that.

Advice
After the work
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Look at the sunniest and most exposed elevations first
- Share the asbestos register when you send details
- Reduce knocks to communal area joints
- Check sealant joints during planned building inspections
Where a paintable product was specified, it can be painted after curing. Non-paintable silicone shouldn’t be painted over.
Water getting in round frames can damage plaster, decoration and the frames themselves. Early resealing is far simpler than repairs inside.
Quoting for work in North Fareham
Quotes vary with the job. Expect it to depend on:
- Any access equipment needed
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Working within restricted access windows
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
No two sites price the same: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.
What we need to price the job
There’s no need for a formal survey. These details are enough to start:
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- What the building is and how it’s used
- When you need the work done
- The asbestos register, for older buildings

Frames, entrances and external joints in North Fareham
The sea is no more than about 2 miles from North Fareham. Sea-facing elevations take driven rain and salt, and their mastic shows it before the sheltered sides do, and they deserve more regular inspection. Rainfall across the South East, North Fareham included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Even so, frame mastic only goes on in dry, workable conditions, and south- and west-facing elevations, which take the most sun and rain, often age first.
Schools and community buildings such as Harrison Primary School need frame and external mastic kept sound like any building. If you look after a block within reach of Fareham station (1.3 miles south-west of North Fareham), frame and balcony mastic can be renewed on one programme. Older community buildings, Parish Church of St Peter and St Paul among them, often have frames of mixed ages whose mastic varies.

North Fareham: questions and answers
Will you take on work at estates like Fareham Industrial Park, close to North Fareham?
Yes. We cover North Fareham and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Fareham Industrial Park. To start, just ring 01277 525 020 or email the details over with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Can you quote for a block close to Fareham station?
Yes. Managing agents, landlords, property factors and housing associations are who this service is for. We work to your notice and access arrangements.
Does the weather affect the work?
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.
Is asbestos a concern with old mastic?
We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials. If old sealant is suspected, work stops until it’s tested, and the duty to manage asbestos sits with the dutyholder.
What about access for upper-floor joints?
We talk through access for each building when we quote. Tell us the building height and any access already in place and we will confirm the approach in the quote.
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.
How do you handle work on occupied blocks?
Occupiers stay in the building throughout. We flag any areas that need internal access well before the dates so you can arrange it with occupiers.
Why it’s worth doing now in North Fareham
Leaving failed external joints lets water reach the structure behind. That can lead to damp, staining and damage to finishes, which is harder to deal with than resealing. Converted and older buildings near places like North Fareham tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. A sealant with the right movement capability, correctly sized, lasts far better.
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.

General trades versus a specialist
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint.
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but larger jobs are different: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
