Share the site address and what’s failing, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote or arrange a visit.
Aftercare for building managers
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. In particular:
- Check sealant joints during planned building inspections
- Look at the sunniest and most exposed elevations first
- Have the asbestos survey to hand for older buildings
- Reduce knocks to communal area joints
Include sealant in planned building inspections. Watch for splits, open gaps, hard or chalky surfaces and mastic pulling away, and note the building and elevation.
Planned resealing is easier to budget than emergency repairs. A programme can start with the worst buildings so spending is spread.
Mastic sealing in Shalcombe, done properly
Blocks are lived in, so access and disruption have to be thought through. The sequence, the areas and the dates are settled with you, giving you what you need to notify residents. Communal entrances and stairs stay usable while we work. We work on balcony and threshold joints, external wall and movement joints and communal kitchens and washrooms, and the failures we are asked to look at most are window mastic that has split and shrunk and leaks at window and door perimeters. Most enquiries from Shalcombe 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 and agents with buildings around smaller places such as Shalcombe tend to manage small terraces of association properties, converted barns and commercial units. Frame and wall-joint mastic on all of them ages and hardens.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: 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.

On site: what to expect

Once we are cleared to begin, the joints are worked through in the order agreed with your site contact, and each area is checked before we leave it. For a building around Shalcombe, tell us how to find it and who will meet us. Add it to your enquiry and we’ll build it into the plan.

Frames, entrances and external joints in Shalcombe
Shalcombe lies within about 2 miles of the sea. For owners and agents with buildings near the sea, exposed elevations are where frame mastic fails first; plan inspections around that. Rainfall across the South East, Shalcombe included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. External mastic still waits for dry faces and the right temperature, and south- and west-facing elevations, which take the most sun and rain, often age first.
Trustees of buildings like St. Mary's Church can bring frame and external mastic into a planned maintenance list.

Surface by surface
Estate-wide resealing programmes
Housing associations and agents often manage many similar blocks. We quote building by building and work through them in turn.
Communal areas
Joints at low level in communal areas take knocks from bins, bikes and buggies and tend to fail first.
When to call us in Shalcombe
In communal areas, joints take knocks from bins, bikes, buggies and deliveries, and low-level joints get damaged. Cleaning products add to the wear.
Things that normally lead to an enquiry:
- Mastic failing across several blocks on an estate
- Occupiers reporting cold air round windows
- No planned programme for sealant
- Cracked, hardened mastic round windows on a block
With historic buildings such as Mottistone Manor, 1.3 miles south-east of Shalcombe, in the wider area, owners of older properties around Shalcombe should expect mastic to need a product that suits old masonry.

- How accessible the joints are
- Whether the work must be split into stages

What we need to price the job
Good information means a firmer quote. When you get in touch, include:
- Access details, including height
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area

- Where the site is, with the postcode
Send us photos, drawings or a joint schedule are often enough for a fixed quote. If the job needs a look first, we will arrange a site visit.

Questions about Shalcombe
Is Shalcombe too small for you to travel to?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Does the sea air around Shalcombe change the choice of sealant?
It can. Wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt air are harder on external joints. We check the specified product suits the exposure and pay close attention to preparation.
Can people stay in the building while you reseal?
We plan around people living or working in the building. Dates and areas are agreed with you so residents or tenants can be told, and entrances stay in use.
Is any job too small?
Whatever the size, the process is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed.
Do you guarantee the mastic work?
Our workmanship carries a 12-month guarantee and we hold public liability insurance.
Will you come and look before quoting?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, drawings or a joint schedule. If the job needs a look first, we will arrange a visit.
What will the job cost?
There isn’t a price list, because every site is different. With photographs or drawings, we can give you a fixed quote.
