Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
Why act early in Oving
Sealing over failed mastic looks tidy for a while. It won’t grip the old sealant and soon comes away. Cutting out and resealing properly does it once. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Oving, rather than one at a time. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
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.

Mastic sealing in Oving, done properly
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 if it’s suspected, work stops until it’s tested. Removing asbestos-containing material isn’t something we do. If you have communal area joints that look neglected and draught complaints from residents or tenants, we can put it right, whatever the surface. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in Oving, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Around smaller places like Oving, older walls fitted with newer windows are a familiar sight. Perimeter mastic there has to grip an uneven face and suit the building’s character.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we are upfront about that.

What affects the price in Oving
Before we quote, we look at:
- The size and state of each joint
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- How much there is to seal
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
Pricing mastic joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access, plus any specification you are working to. Call for a quote.
What to include in your enquiry
There’s no need for a formal survey. A few details are enough to get going:
- Specification clauses that apply
- The site address and postcode
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we will price against exactly what is specified. For smaller jobs, photos and a description will do.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
On arrival, we sign in, go through any site induction and check how permits are handled. Everything around the joints gets protected before anything is cut or cleaned, with the work itself usually taking a day or two for a single block, longer for an estate programme. Rural sites near Oving may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Send that with the details and we will confirm the plan with the quote.

When it isn’t the sealant
A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. We’ll tell you if the real problem is one of these:
- Glazing that needs replacing
- Substrate edges that need repairing first
- Leaks from above rather than through a joint
If in doubt, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll say what we think.

Block-wide mastic in Oving
At about 53 miles from central London, Oving is within reach of the capital. Managed blocks of flats are a big part of commuter-belt property. Oving sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. External mastic still waits for dry faces and the right temperature, and elevations facing the sun and the prevailing weather are normally where frame mastic ages first.
Student accommodation around universities such as University of Chichester, 1.4 miles to the south of Oving, is usually managed block by block, which suits a planned mastic programme. Property owners at sites such as Littlemeads Business Centre (0.5 miles north-west of Oving) can have mastic renewed between lettings. Schools and community buildings such as Westbourne House School need frame and external mastic kept sound like any building.

What else we do in Oving
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. The usual problems come from preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
Questions about Oving
Is Oving too far out for you?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. London and every South East county are within our area. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Do you work for managing agents with blocks near Chichester station?
Yes. Managing agents, landlords, property factors and housing associations are who this service is for. We work to your notice and access arrangements.
What paperwork can you provide?
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’ll confirm with the quote.
Can people stay in the building while you reseal?
Occupiers stay in the building throughout. We flag any areas that need internal access well before the dates so it can be arranged.
How soon can the area be used again?
We’ll confirm how long the chosen product needs to cure, and flag anything to keep off until it has cured.
Can you seal joints high up on a block?
Every block is different. We agree access with you at quote stage so there are no surprises.
What guarantee do you give on resealing?
Every building we reseal has a 12-month guarantee. It applies to our workmanship rather than damage or problems with the frames.
