Mastic sealing in Rooksdown, done properly
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. Each building we complete carries a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. The enquiries we see most involve brittle perimeter mastic across a building and occupiers reporting cold air round windows, on external wall and movement joints, communal entrances and stairwells and window and door perimeters on blocks. Most enquiries from Rooksdown start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Owners with buildings around smaller places like Rooksdown often group mastic work so one visit covers several properties. One quote can cover a whole list of addresses.
We stand by our work: 12 months, guaranteed. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant, and if something we did falls short, we return to it.

Owners, agents and contractors
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. We phase the work so people keep access, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
Planned maintenance programmes are welcome: working through a building or an estate in stages that fit your budget. Rooksdown can form part of a wider programme.
Mastic sealing in Rooksdown: the local picture
Rooksdown lies roughly 47 miles out from central London. Within reach of London, blocks run by agents and associations are common around stations; their frame mastic often ages block-wide. Rooksdown is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. Outside work still depends on dry joints, and elevations facing the sun and the prevailing weather are normally where frame mastic ages first.
Older buildings near Rooksdown, from historic houses such as The Vyne, 2.2 miles to the north-east of Rooksdown, to more modest stock, need compatible products when frames are resealed. Buildings close to stations like Basingstoke station, 1.7 miles to the south-east of Rooksdown, are often flats over shops, with frame mastic to keep sound.
Rooksdown is about 1 mile north-west of Basingstoke, in Hampshire. Our applicators travel to Rooksdown for work on mastic joints, handled exactly as we handle every other area. We work across 723 places in Hampshire, from busy centres to rural villages. Our Reading page has more on work in that area.

Diagnose, treat, sign off
A typical day starts with protection: masking tape along the joint edges and sheeting over anything nearby. The work itself normally takes one or more days per building, depending on the joint lengths and the access, and we clear our waste as we work. Work in places the size of Rooksdown is planned as a single visit where we can. Clear photographs and measurements help us bring the right products.

Your questions answered
Does your area include sites such as Knight Trade Park, near Rooksdown?
Yes. Our area takes in Rooksdown and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Knight Trade Park included. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Is Rooksdown off your patch?
Not at all. Rooksdown is within our area. London and every South East county are within our area. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Can you plan resealing across several buildings?
Yes. Each building is inspected, quoted and scheduled in turn starting wherever is most urgent.
How do you choose the sealant?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
What paperwork can you provide?
Let us know your requirements: tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote. We hold CHAS accreditation and Constructionline membership.
What do you charge?
It depends on the job: the volume of work, the access, the specified product and how it’s phased. Call for a fixed quote.
How long does a job like this take?
It depends on the scope, but the work normally takes one or more days per building, depending on the joint lengths and the access. For bigger or phased jobs, we will set out a timescale with the quote.
Do you need mastic sealing in Rooksdown?
Topping up old mastic is a common shortcut. New silicone has nothing to grip on old silicone and the repair soon fails.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Communal area joints that look neglected
- Draughts at frames across a block
- Repeated reactive repairs to the same buildings
- Brittle perimeter mastic across a building
If you own or manage units on a site such as Knight Trade Park (0.9 miles south-east of Rooksdown), failed mastic on frames, door surrounds and external joints can be dealt with unit by unit.
What to look for in a quote
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
- Their approach to joint depth and backing
- The terms of the workmanship guarantee
- How they handle RAMS and site documents
When it isn’t the sealant
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It won’t put right:
- Leaks from above rather than through a joint
- Failed window or door frames, which need a window contractor
- Misted or failed double-glazed units
If in doubt, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Where we work in Rooksdown
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
- External wall and movement joints
- Balcony and threshold joints
What happens if it’s left?
Failed perimeter mastic lets cold air in around frames and the windows normally get the blame. Resealing the perimeters is often the simpler fix where the frames themselves are sound. For buildings in places like Rooksdown, one well-planned visit beats several small ones, so it’s worth dealing with every failing joint at once.
Every site prices differently: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.
