Mastic sealing for commercial buildings in Rake
For over 20 years we have resealed joints for owners, agents and landlords. Our applicators are CSCS-carded, and the work is backed by public liability insurance. Resealed mastic joints in Rake carry our 12-month guarantee. If you have open joints in brickwork or panels and repeated reactive repairs to the same buildings, we can put it right, whatever the surface. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Rake tend to want the same three things: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Around smaller places like Rake, 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.
Work we carry out in Hampshire comes with a 12-month guarantee. Should something we installed fail, call the office on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we will come back to it.

Advice
Quoting for work in Rake
Your fixed quote is built from the real scope. It takes account of:
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- How much there is to seal
The product called for affects the cost, as does the preparation each joint needs. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
Before you send an enquiry
However big the job, the same details help:
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- Any dates the work must fit around
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
Let us know the site, the scope and your timescale, and we will put a fixed quote together. To get it moving, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.
Questions we are asked in Rake
Does your area include sites such as Ham Barn Business Park, near Rake?
Yes. Our area takes in Rake and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Ham Barn Business Park included. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
We manage a building near Liss 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’ll give a fixed quote.
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 will confirm with the quote.
Do you guarantee the mastic work?
Every building we reseal has a 12-month guarantee. It applies to our workmanship rather than damage or problems with the frames.
Can you take on resealing for a block portfolio?
Yes, block and estate work is a core part of what we do. We work through buildings in a planned order so you can plan around it.
Can weather delay the job?
Outside, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Internal work is rarely affected.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so it all comes out first.

What else we do in Rake
General trades versus 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.
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, which is what makes a joint last.
Frames, entrances and external joints in Rake
Rainfall across the South East, Rake included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Outside mastic still needs a dry joint and the right temperature, and elevations facing the sun and the prevailing weather are usually where frame mastic ages first. Rake is about 45 miles from central London. Managed blocks of flats are a big part of commuter-belt property.
Buildings close to stations like Liss station, 1.6 miles west of Rake, are often flats over shops, with frame mastic to keep sound. For a school such as Rake CofE Primary School, perimeter mastic on windows and doors is a holiday job.

Signs you need mastic sealing in Rake
Poor preparation explains many failed joints. Without clean, sound faces and a primer where the product needs one, the bead peels off one side.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- Water getting in round frames after rain
- Draught complaints from residents or tenants
- Brittle perimeter mastic across a building
- Failed external movement joints
Trustees of buildings like Rake Mission Church can bring frame and external mastic into a planned maintenance list.

Honest limits
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It won’t put right:
- Materials that need asbestos testing before work
- Cracked or crumbling render, brick or stone at the joint edges (we’ll tell you if so)
- Broken glass or failed sealed units
If you’re not sure, just phone 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we will give you a straight answer.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- External wall and movement joints
- Balcony and threshold joints

- Communal entrances and stairwells
- Shopfronts below residential blocks

Different surfaces, different methods
Window and door perimeters on blocks
On most blocks, the frame-to-wall joint is where failure shows first. We remove the failed mastic, prepare the faces, add backing rod if the joint is deep and reseal.
Commercial and mixed-use buildings
Where retail and residential share a building the programme has to suit everyone. We plan around the site hours and access windows you give us.
