Mastic sealing in Sutton Scotney, done properly
Across Sutton Scotney and the rest of Hampshire, we work the same way: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed. Addresses, photos of typical joints and a rough idea of quantities let us give a quick quote or we can visit. We work on communal entrances and stairwells, window and door perimeters on blocks and shopfronts below residential blocks, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are brittle perimeter mastic across a building and water getting in round frames after rain. Most enquiries from Sutton Scotney start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
For owners with a single building near Sutton Scotney, we plan to finish in one visit where possible. Send photos of the frames and joints and we’ll give a fixed quote.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

Sutton Scotney: questions and answers
Can one quote cover a number of our buildings near Sutton Scotney?
Yes. Portfolio-wide programmes are a regular request. Residents are given notice through you, and the work moves building by building.
Will you take on a block within reach of Micheldever station?
Yes. Blocks of any size are within what we do. Photos of each elevation help us quote accurately.
How do you handle work on occupied blocks?
Occupiers stay in the building throughout. We flag any areas that need internal access well before the dates so you can arrange it with occupiers.
What about access for upper-floor joints?
It depends on the building. How upper joints are reached is agreed before work is booked so there are no surprises.
What if the old mastic contains asbestos?
In older buildings, old mastic can contain asbestos. We ask for the asbestos register or survey before work starts, and if it’s suspected, work stops until it’s tested.
Do you work with property factors and landlords?
Yes, that’s exactly who this service is for. Buildings are scheduled in turn so you can plan around it.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
When to call us in Sutton Scotney
Poor preparation explains many failed joints. Where the faces weren’t cleaned or primed as specified, the bead peels off one side.
Most enquiries start with one or more of the following:
- Old repairs sealed over failed mastic
- Water getting in round frames after rain
- Mastic failing across several blocks on an estate
- Window mastic that has split and shrunk
Blocks of flats and mixed-use buildings often cluster around stations such as Micheldever station, 3.9 miles north-east of Sutton Scotney, and their window and balcony mastic tends to age at the same rate across a building.
Questions to ask before you book
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
- Who will actually carry out the work
- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
General trades versus a specialist
The visible bead is only part of the job. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are easy to get wrong without experience.
Some joints are best left to specialists: for example fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong typically costs more in the end than doing them right.
Owners, agents and contractors
If you look after buildings for someone else, clear figures and clear communication matter. You get a fixed quote, an agreed scope and a walk round at the end, plus a 12-month guarantee.
Whether you’re a managing agent, a property factor or an owner’s representative: send the details, accept a fixed quote, and we carry out and guarantee the work. Keys, access and contacts can be agreed in advance.

Our process
The first thing on site is a walk round with your contact, agreeing which joints are in scope, where to start and what must stay open. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in. For a building around Sutton Scotney, tell us how to find it and who will meet us. Add it to your enquiry and we will build it into the plan.
- Each block or building is walked and the failed joints recorded with the likely cause.
- A fixed quote follows, split by block or building if that suits you.
- The programme is fixed with you, including dates you can pass on to residents or tenants.
- We remove the old mastic completely and clean the joint faces back.
- Backing rod and primer go in as the joint requires, then the new bead is placed and tooled.
- Each building is checked on completion and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Getting the site ready
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- Tell staff and tenants when we will be in
Quotes
A good quote starts with a clear picture: what’s there, how much of it, how we reach it and what’s specified. Share whatever details you have and we will fill any gaps with a visit.
Advice
Why deal with it now?
A bead run over old mastic can look like a repair. 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 Sutton Scotney, rather than one at a time. Send photographs of each area and we will quote for the lot.
There’s no price list, since every building and every scope is different. Call for a quote and we’ll price your job on its own details.
Why us?
- A range of standard colours, depending on the product
- Our applicators hold CSCS cards
- Fully insured, including public liability cover
- One contact handling all your sites

What the job involves on each surface
Communal areas
Low-level communal joints get damaged more than most, so they often need renewing sooner.
External movement joints
Failed sealant is removed, backing rod inserted to control depth and the joint resealed with a grade whose movement class fits.
Planned mastic for Sutton Scotney portfolios
Sutton Scotney sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. External mastic still waits for dry faces and the right temperature, and elevations facing the sun and the prevailing weather are normally where frame mastic ages first. Sutton Scotney is about 59 miles from central London. Commuter-belt towns tend to have plenty of managed blocks near stations and town centres.
Trustees of buildings like Ebenezer Methodist Chapel can bring frame and external mastic into a planned maintenance list.
