About our mastic sealing in Stanswood
We work for building owners, landlords with commercial or block portfolios, managing agents and housing associations. Many prefer a planned programme to one-off visits and we quote and schedule each building in turn. We work on external wall and movement joints, balcony and threshold joints and communal entrances and stairwells, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are draughts at frames across a block and worn sealant at communal door frames. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, the work in Stanswood is the same: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Rural conversions near places like Stanswood 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.
We stand by our work: 12 months, guaranteed. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant, and we come back if anything isn’t right.

What we are called out for in Stanswood
In communal areas, joints take knocks from bins, bikes, buggies and deliveries, with joints near the floor and around doors suffering most. Cleaning products add to the wear.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Patchy repairs in mismatched sealant
- Water getting in round frames after rain
- Worn sealant at communal door frames
- Estate-wide sealant that is simply worn out
If you are responsible for a building such as St George, frame and door mastic needs the same attention as any other property.

Mastic sealing around Stanswood: how the place shapes the job
The sea is no more than about 1 mile from Stanswood. For owners and agents with buildings near the sea, exposed elevations are where frame mastic fails first, and they deserve more regular inspection. Rainfall across the South East, Stanswood included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Outside work still depends on dry joints, while the elevations that take the most sun tend to show hardened mastic first.
Buildings close to stations like Hamble station, 4.8 miles to the north of Stanswood, are often flats over shops, with frame mastic to keep sound. Historic properties like Osborne House (to the south-east of Stanswood) show the age of some local stock, where frame mastic must suit soft brick or stone.
Stanswood is about 3 miles north-west of Cowes, in Hampshire. We cover commercial sites throughout Stanswood, for single jobs and planned programmes alike. Our Hampshire coverage takes in 723 places. Southampton is covered too, around 8 miles from Stanswood.

On site: what to expect
On arrival, we sign in, go through any site induction and check how permits are handled. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before any cutting starts, with the work itself usually taking anything from a day to a few weeks, depending on the number of buildings and joints. Jobs in and around smaller places like Stanswood are usually planned as a single visit, so photos and measurements up front really help. That way the right products come on the day.
- We inspect the joints, building by building, and record what has failed and why.
- A fixed quote follows, split by block or building if that suits you.
- Dates, areas and access are agreed so residents or tenants can be told in advance.
- Failed mastic is removed and the faces taken back to sound, dry material.
- Deep joints get backing rod, faces are primed if the manufacturer specifies it, then the joint is sealed and tooled.
- Completed joints are inspected and carry a 12-month workmanship guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Tell staff and tenants when we will be in
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000

- Materials that need asbestos testing before work
- Substrate edges that need repairing first
If in doubt, call 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Stanswood: questions and answers
Do you work for managing agents with blocks near Hamble station?
Yes. Blocks of any size are within what we do. Give us the building’s details and say how residents are notified, and we’ll quote and plan to suit.
Is a smaller place like Stanswood outside your area?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Do you work with property factors and landlords?
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.
What if the old mastic contains asbestos?
We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials. If old sealant is suspected, work stops until it’s tested, and the duty to manage asbestos sits with the dutyholder.
Do you guarantee the mastic work?
Every building we reseal has a 12-month guarantee. It applies to our workmanship rather than damage or problems with the frames.
How long before the joints can be used?
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.
How long does a job like this take?
It depends on the scope, but the work typically takes anything from a day to a few weeks, depending on the number of buildings and joints. For bigger or phased jobs, we will set out a timescale with the quote.
What sets the cost
The price varies from site to site. Expect it to depend on:
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Phasing around occupants
- Any access equipment needed
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
We don’t publish prices, since every building and every scope is different. Call for a quote.
Before you send an enquiry
Diagnosis starts before we arrive. Tell us:
- Any specification or named product
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- What the building is and how it’s used
The quickest route to a quote is a few photographs and the site postcode. Upload them with the quote form, or call 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form if you’d rather talk the job through.
What the job involves on each surface
Estate-wide resealing programmes
Housing associations and agents often manage many similar blocks. Each block is priced and scheduled in order.
Communal areas
Low-level communal joints get damaged more than most, so they often need renewing sooner.
General trades versus a specialist
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but larger jobs are different: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
Some joints are best left to specialists: for instance fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
