Mastic sealing across South Town
Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
Honest limits
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Cracked or crumbling render, brick or stone at the joint edges (we’ll tell you if so)
- Misted or failed double-glazed units
- Leaks through the frame itself rather than the perimeter
If you’re not sure, just phone 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Mastic sealing in South Town
Managing agents and housing associations typically need paperwork before anyone starts. For documents, tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote. We’re a Constructionline member and CHAS accredited, and we carry public liability insurance. Most enquiries involve the same joint failures repeated across a portfolio and cracked, hardened mastic round windows on a block, across shopfronts below residential blocks, balcony and threshold joints and communal kitchens and washrooms. A single leaking joint is often how a building in South Town first comes to us: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
Rural conversions near places like South Town 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.

Frames, entrances and external joints in South Town
South Town is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. Outside mastic still needs a dry joint and the right temperature, while the elevations that take the most sun tend to show hardened mastic first. South Town lies roughly 49 miles out from central London. Managed blocks of flats are a big part of commuter-belt property; their frame mastic often ages block-wide.
Older buildings near South Town, from historic houses such as Bentworth Hall (to the north-east of South Town) to more modest stock, need compatible products when frames are resealed. Schools and community buildings such as Medstead Church of England Primary School need frame and external mastic kept sound like any building. If you’re responsible for a building such as Church of St Andrew, frame and door mastic needs the same attention as any other property.

Your questions answered
Is South Town off your patch?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. 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 Alton station?
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.
How soon can the area be used again?
The product and site conditions decide that. Some products skin over quickly but need longer to cure fully, and we confirm it before leaving site.
Is mastic sealing guaranteed?
Every building we reseal has a 12-month guarantee. It covers our workmanship, not later building movement, damage or frame failures.
How long will the new sealant last?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
Can you send RAMS and CSCS details before starting?
We’re CHAS accredited, a Constructionline member and carry public liability insurance. For specific documents, tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote.
Do you check for asbestos in old sealant?
Asbestos removal isn’t part of our work. Anything suspect is tested before we carry on, and the duty to manage asbestos sits with the dutyholder.
Aftercare for building managers
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. Our advice:
- List the paperwork your organisation requires when you send details
- Share the asbestos register when you send details
- Include mastic in your cyclical inspections
- Start inspections with the most exposed faces
Where a paintable product was specified, it can be painted after curing. Silicone normally can’t be painted, so keep decorators off it unless told otherwise.
Joints on a building age together, so it pays to look at the whole elevation. Doing them together saves going back again and again.
