Mastic sealing for commercial buildings in The Mint
On a residential block, the work happens around people’s lives. The sequence, the areas and the dates are settled with you, giving you what you need to notify residents. Entrances and stairwells are kept in use throughout. We work on external wall and movement joints, communal entrances and stairwells and balcony and threshold joints, and what we’re called in for most is movement joints with sealant missing and damaged joints in communal entrances and corridors. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: on jobs in The Mint, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
In and around smaller places like The Mint, landlords and agents often look after small groups of housing association properties, converted farm buildings and community buildings. Mastic around frames and on external joints wears out in time, whatever the building.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: preparation, application and finish. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

Planned mastic for The Mint portfolios
At about 46 miles from central London, The Mint 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. The Mint 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 the sunniest, most exposed sides of a building normally need attention first.
For agents with blocks near Liss station, 0.8 miles south-west of The Mint, a block-wide mastic programme deals with frames, balconies and entrances in one go. Older community buildings, Hope Church among them, often have frames of mixed ages whose mastic varies.
The Mint is about 4 miles north-east of Petersfield, in Hampshire. The Mint sits inside our coverage and the rest of Hampshire, and jobs here get the same fixed quote and 12-month guarantee as anywhere else. Across Hampshire, 723 places are covered, The Mint among them. Portsmouth is covered too, some 19 miles away.

Aftercare for building managers
Once the work is signed off, these steps help:
- Mention RAMS, insurance or CSCS requirements up front
- Prioritise elevations facing the weather
- Keep bins and bikes away from communal door frames
- Track which buildings were done and when
Keep bins, bikes and deliveries away from low-level joints where you can. Knocks cause many early failures in communal areas.
Joints on a building age together so a single failure is a sign to check the rest. Doing them together saves going back again and again.
Do you need mastic sealing in The Mint?
Frames, panels and masonry expand and contract through the year, and every joint has to stretch and squeeze with them. A joint that was too narrow, too thin or the wrong product can’t cope and fails early.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Damp patches beside frames
- Damaged joints in communal entrances and corridors
- Open joints in brickwork or panels
- Window mastic that has split and shrunk
Landlords with units on estates such as Ham Barn Business Park (1.2 miles north-west of The Mint) can bring frame, door and external mastic across several units into one programme.

Advice
For managing agents and facilities managers
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
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. We can agree access arrangements and keyholder contacts beforehand.
How the job changes by surface
External movement joints
Brickwork, blockwork and panel joints let a building move. Once that sealant goes, rain can reach the wall.
Window and door perimeters on blocks
Perimeter joints on blocks are best done elevation by elevation or block by block. How each joint is reached is agreed at quote stage.
Questions about The Mint
Do you cover business parks and estates near The Mint, such as Ham Barn Business Park?
Yes, sites like Ham Barn Business Park are within our area, along with the rest of The Mint. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.
Will you take on a block within reach of Liss station?
Yes, and several blocks can go on one quote. Photos of each elevation help us quote accurately.
Do you supply RAMS and insurance details?
Let us know your requirements: tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote. We hold CHAS accreditation and Constructionline membership.
Is mastic sealing guaranteed?
Every building we reseal has a 12-month guarantee. It applies to our workmanship rather than damage or problems with the frames.
How many days will you need on site?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. We will give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
Can weather delay the job?
It can, for external work. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
Is The Mint in your area?
Yes. The Mint falls within our area, and the simplest way to start is to give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.
What sets the cost
To price the job, we consider:
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- The product specified
- How accessible the joints are
- Joint width, depth and condition
A quote for mastic joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access, plus any specification you’re working to. Ask us for a fixed quote.
Details that help us quote
We can often quote from photos and a few details. It helps to include:
- Clear photos of the problem areas
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- The site address and postcode
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
To get a fixed quote, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos. You can also send details through our quote form.
