About our mastic sealing in Soake
In buildings from before 2000, some old mastics contain asbestos. Before we disturb it, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey and if it’s suspected, work stops until it’s tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials. We work on communal kitchens and washrooms, communal entrances and stairwells and window and door perimeters on blocks, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are water getting in round frames after rain and the same joint failures repeated across a portfolio. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Soake, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Owners and agents with buildings around smaller places such as Soake 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.
We stand by our work with a 12-month guarantee. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant, and if something we did falls short, we return to it.

When to call us in Soake
Poor preparation explains many failed joints. Without clean, sound faces and a primer where the product needs one it comes away from one face.
Most enquiries start with something like this:
- Open joints in brickwork or panels
- Window mastic that has split and shrunk
- No planned programme for sealant
- A mix of products and colours from past repairs
Property owners at sites such as Parklands Business Park, 0.8 miles to the west of Soake, can have mastic renewed between lettings.
What your quote should include
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
Cost factors for mastic joints
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, since sites vary so much. What we take into account:
- The total length or number of joints
- The size and state of each joint
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Distance, for remote addresses
No two sites price the same: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.
Before you send an enquiry
We can often quote from photographs and a few details. Please tell us:
- Any dates the work must fit around
- Any specification or named product
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
For a fixed quote, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email. You can also send details through our quote form.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
Before we leave any area, we remove the tape, clean down and inspect every joint with your site contact. Where the sealant needs time to cure before use, we tell you and sign the area. For work around Soake, we aim to finish in one visit, so photographs and measurements up front really help. That way the right products come on the day.
- A building-by-building inspection lists the failed joints.
- The quote is fixed and split as suits you.
- We agree the programme and dates with you.
- Failed sealant is removed and the faces prepared.
- New sealant goes in with backing rod and primer where needed.
- Each building is checked and signed off with the 12-month guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Let building users know which areas are affected

Your questions answered
Can you work at a site such as Parklands Business Park, by Soake?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Soake, Parklands Business Park among them, are all within reach. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.
We manage a building near Bedhampton station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for agents, landlords and housing associations with blocks of every size. Send the address, photos of the elevations and your access arrangements, and we’ll give a fixed quote.
What about access for upper-floor joints?
We talk through access for each building when we quote. Tell us the number of storeys and whether scaffold or other access is planned and we will confirm the approach in the quote.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
It can, for external work. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
Do you work for managing agents and housing associations?
Yes. Managing agents, property factors in Scotland, housing associations and landlords with block or commercial portfolios are our main clients for this work and work can be quoted per building or as a whole.
Do you guarantee the mastic work?
There is a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, backed by public liability insurance.

Blocks and managed buildings in Soake
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. External mastic still waits for dry faces and the right temperature, and the sunniest, most exposed sides of a building normally need attention first. At about 59 miles from central London, Soake is within reach of the capital. Commuter-belt towns tend to have plenty of managed blocks near stations and town centres; their frame mastic often ages block-wide.
If your remit includes a building such as Denmead Junior School, frame and door mastic can be programmed for the holidays. Blocks of flats and mixed-use buildings often cluster around stations such as Bedhampton station (to the south-east of Soake) and their window and balcony mastic tends to age at the same rate across a building.
Soake is about 1 mile north-west of Waterlooville, in Hampshire. We cover commercial sites throughout Soake, for single jobs and planned programmes alike. Soake is one of 723 places in Hampshire on our list. For work in that direction, see our Portsmouth page.
Work on mastic joints is covered throughout PO7, whatever the building. We cover commercial and managed buildings on Soake Road and Hambledon Road. Nearby places we also cover include Furzeley Corner (1 mile south-west), Hart Plain (1 mile east), Cowplain (1 mile east), Waterlooville (1 mile south-east) and Purbrook Heath (2 miles south). Further afield, our area takes in Gosport (8 miles south-west), Havant (4 miles south-east), Eastleigh (14 miles west), Fareham (7 miles south-west), Hedge End (11 miles west) and Petersfield (9 miles north-east).
Around Soake
We work on buildings around The Mead End pub and The Cowplain School. Soake’s nearest station is Bedhampton station, roughly 3.7 miles south-east of the centre. A little further out are Clanfield Earthwork (4.7 miles north-east) and Queen Alexandra Hospital (3.2 miles south). For a walk, there’s Southmoor Nature Reserve and Portsdown Hill.
Why act early in Soake
Leaving failed external joints lets water reach the structure behind. Damp patches, stained plaster and decorating claims can follow and those cost far more to put right. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Soake. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote and we’ll put a fixed figure on it.
