Mastic sealing for commercial buildings in Setley
On a residential block, the work happens around people’s lives. Dates, areas and the order of work are agreed with you in advance so you can let residents know what is happening. Communal entrances and stairs stay usable while we work. We work on external wall and movement joints, shopfronts below residential blocks and window and door perimeters on blocks, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are water getting in round frames after rain and failed external movement joints. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in Setley, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Rural conversions near places like Setley often set modern frames into older stone, flint or brick. Perimeter mastic there has to grip an uneven face and suit the building’s character.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and the quote explains what it covers.

Owners, agents and contractors
For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor. Programme, specification and site rules come first.
We take on planned maintenance as well as one-off repairs: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. Sites in Setley can sit alongside others in a wider programme.
What else we do in Setley
Why it’s worth doing now in Setley
A bead run over old mastic can look like a repair. It doesn’t bond and normally fails within a short time. Cutting out and resealing properly does it once. Older rural buildings around Setley move with the seasons, and rigid or tired sealant can’t keep up. A sealant with the right movement capability, correctly sized, lasts far better.
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.
Why clients in Setley choose us
- Work to your specification and the manufacturer’s guidance
- Colour options checked against the specified product
- Old sealant cut out, never sealed over
- A fixed quote before work starts

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
There’s also the paperwork. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
Common questions from Setley clients
Is Setley too small for you to travel to?
Not at all. Setley is within our area. London and every South East county are within our area. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Can you quote for a block close to Brockenhurst station?
Yes, and several blocks can go on one quote. Photos of each elevation help us quote accurately.
How long before the joints can be used?
Curing time varies by product, and we confirm it on the day, and flag anything to keep off until it has cured.
Does the weather affect the work?
It can, for external work. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Internal work is far less affected.
Can you seal joints high up on a block?
It depends on the building. We agree access with you at quote stage so there are no surprises.
Is asbestos a concern with old mastic?
Some mastics in pre-2000 buildings contain asbestos. We ask for the asbestos register or survey before work starts, and if it’s suspected, work stops until it’s tested.
Who decides which product is used?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
How the quote is worked out
What shapes the price:
- The product specified
- Access and working height
- Travel to remote or island sites
- How much existing material needs removing
We don’t publish prices, since every building and every scope is different. For a fixed figure, call for a quote and we’ll price your job on its own details.
What we need to price the job
A good diagnosis starts with the right details. Tell us:
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- Access details, including height
- Any dates the work must fit around
A handful of photographs and a postcode is the fastest way to a quote. Send them through the quote form, or phone 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos to discuss it first.
Honest limits
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It isn’t the answer for:
- Materials that need asbestos testing before work
- Leaks through the frame itself rather than the perimeter
- Cracked or crumbling render, brick or stone at the joint edges (we will tell you if so)
If in doubt, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we seal

Diagnose, treat, sign off
We begin with a short walk round with whoever looks after the building, to confirm the scope, the order of work and any areas we must keep clear. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in. Rural sites near Setley may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Send that with the details and we will confirm the plan with the quote.

Advice
Looking after buildings in and around Setley
Rainfall across the South East, Setley included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Outside mastic still needs a dry joint and the right temperature, and the sunniest, most exposed sides of a building usually need attention first.
If your remit includes a building such as Brockenhurst Church of England Primary School, frame and door mastic can be programmed for the holidays. Buildings close to stations like Brockenhurst station, 0.6 miles north of Setley, are often flats over shops, with frame mastic to keep sound. Churches, halls and community buildings such as Church of St Nicholas are looked after by trustees and committees like any other owner, and their frames, doors and external joints need mastic renewed in time.
