Photos, a specification or a quick description of the joints is enough to start a fixed quote.
Keeping the joints sound
Once the work is signed off, these steps help:
- Keep a record of when each building was resealed
- Make it easy for occupiers to report draughts
- Have the asbestos survey to hand for older buildings
- Check sealant joints during planned building inspections
If paintable sealant was used, decoration can follow once it has cured. Non-paintable silicone shouldn’t be painted over.
Mastic fails gradually, then all at once in a wet spell. Acting at the first signs keeps it a straightforward reseal and the complaints that come with it.
Mastic sealing in Shootash
Owners and agents usually inherit a building’s mastic rather than choose it and it slowly wears out: window perimeters, door frames, external joints and communal junctions all rely on it. When it hardens, splits or pulls away, water and draughts follow, and occupiers start reporting it. The enquiries we see most involve a mix of products and colours from past repairs and window mastic that has split and shrunk, across external wall and movement joints, window and door perimeters on blocks and communal entrances and stairwells. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, the work in Shootash is the same: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
For owners with a single building near Shootash, we plan to finish in one visit where possible. Send photographs of the frames and joints and we will give a fixed quote.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and the quote explains what it covers.

We manage a building near Romsey station. Can you help?
Yes, and several blocks can go on one quote. We work to your notice and access arrangements.
How do you handle work on occupied blocks?
The work is planned around occupiers. Dates and areas are agreed with you so residents or tenants can be told, and entrances stay in use.
Do you cover Shootash?
Yes. We cover Shootash, and the simplest way to start is to phone 01277 525 020 or use the quote form.
How long does a job like this take?
That varies with the scale of the job, though a typical visit usually takes one or more days per building, depending on the joint lengths and the access. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we will give you a timescale with the quote.
How do you reach windows on upper floors?
Access is discussed and agreed before the quote is fixed. Tell us the number of storeys and whether scaffold or other access is planned, and we’ll tell you how we’d approach it.
Do you do block-wide mastic programmes?
Yes. Each building is inspected, quoted and scheduled in turn, and the programme can start with the worst.

What else we do in Shootash
What happens if it’s left?
Sealing over failed mastic looks tidy for a while. It won’t grip the old sealant and soon comes away. Full removal and proper preparation is what lasts. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Shootash, rather than one at a time. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well.

Doing it in-house
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class, which is what makes a joint last.
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but larger jobs are different: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
Planned mastic for Shootash portfolios
Shootash is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. Outside work still depends on dry joints, while the elevations that take the most sun tend to show hardened mastic first.
Older buildings near Shootash, from historic houses such as Mottisfont Abbey (to the north of Shootash) to more modest stock, need compatible products when frames are resealed. If you are responsible for a building such as Church of All Saints, frame and door mastic needs the same attention as any other property. For owners of several units at places like Budds Lane Industrial Estate, 2 miles to the east of Shootash, one programme can deal with frame and external mastic across the lot.
