Mastic sealing near Otterbourne
Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint.
Certain joints really need a specialist: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
About our mastic sealing in Otterbourne
Older blocks and commercial buildings can have mastic that contains 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. We work on communal kitchens and washrooms, external wall and movement joints and balcony and threshold joints, and what we’re called in for most is failed external movement joints and estate-wide sealant that is simply worn out. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, the work in Otterbourne is the same: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
For owners with a single building near Otterbourne, 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 are upfront about that.

Honest limits
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- Leaks from above rather than through a joint
- Frames that are rotten, warped or broken
- Misted or failed double-glazed units
Not sure which it is? You can give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Block-wide mastic in Otterbourne
At about 64 miles from central London, Otterbourne is within reach of the capital. Commuter-belt towns tend to have plenty of managed blocks near stations and town centres. Rainfall across the South East, Otterbourne included, is lower than in many 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 normally where frame mastic ages first.
If you are responsible for a building such as Church of St Matthew, frame and door mastic needs the same attention as any other property. Site managers at schools like Otterbourne Church of England Primary School can fit frame mastic into the summer works.

Your questions answered
Is a smaller place like Otterbourne outside your area?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We work across Greater London and the South East. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
We manage a building near Shawford station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for agents, landlords and housing associations with blocks of every size. Send the address, photographs of the elevations and your access arrangements, and we’ll give a fixed quote.
Will residents or tenants be disturbed?
We plan around people living or working in the building. We agree the programme so you can notify occupiers, and entrances stay in use.
How long will the new sealant last?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
What paperwork can you provide?
We are 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.
Do you guarantee the mastic work?
A 12-month guarantee covers our work. It applies to our workmanship rather than damage or problems with the frames.
When can the area be used after sealing?
That comes down to the sealant and the temperature. Some take light use quickly, others need longer to cure, so we will confirm the curing time on the day.

What else we do in Otterbourne
What we are called out for in Otterbourne
The edges of the material itself sometimes break away for example where render or brick edges crumble. If the edges are unsound, we say so before quoting the sealing.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- Failed external movement joints
- Communal area joints that look neglected
- Water getting in round frames after rain
- The same joint failures repeated across a portfolio
For agents with blocks near Shawford station, 1.1 miles north-east of Otterbourne, a block-wide mastic programme deals with frames, balconies and entrances in one go.
Before you book anyone
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
- Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
How a job runs
Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will plan around them. While we’re working, the area stays contained and tidy, and we check in with your contact before moving on to each new area. Jobs in and around smaller places like Otterbourne are usually planned as a single visit, so we ask for photographs and rough sizes first. That way the right products come on the day.
- A building-by-building inspection lists the failed joints.
- You get a fixed quote, per block or for the whole programme.
- We agree the programme and dates with you.
- Old mastic is removed and the joint faces prepared.
- Joints are resealed and tooled.
- Each building is checked and signed off with the 12-month guarantee.
Getting the site ready
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Flag any permit to work we’ll need
Getting a fixed quote
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints and a fixed quote comes back to you. Where a site visit makes more sense, we’ll arrange one.
Advice
For managing agents and facilities managers
Facilities managers want contractors who arrive with the paperwork sorted. Let us know the documents you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor, on new build and refurbishment alike. Programme, specification and site rules come first.
Why it’s worth doing now in Otterbourne
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. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Otterbourne. Send photographs of each area and we’ll quote for the lot.
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well, along with the time of year for external work.
