About our mastic sealing in Tinkers Cross
Before work starts, most agents and landlords want the documents in order.

We are a Constructionline member and CHAS accredited, and we carry public liability insurance. If you have worn sealant at communal door frames and draughts at frames across a block, we can put it right, on communal entrances and stairwells, window and door perimeters on blocks and shopfronts below residential blocks alike.

Owners and agents with buildings around smaller places such as Tinkers Cross tend to manage small terraces of association properties, converted barns and commercial units. Mastic around frames and on external joints wears out in time, whatever the building.
We stand by our work: 12 months, guaranteed. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant.

When it isn’t the sealant
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It isn’t the answer for:
- Asbestos-containing sealant, which we don’t remove
- Failed window or door frames, which need a window contractor
- Water coming in from the roof or rainwater goods
If you’re not sure, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Looking after the joints
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Mention RAMS, insurance or CSCS requirements up front
- Make mastic part of routine maintenance checks
- Keep a record of when each building was resealed
- Look at the sunniest and most exposed elevations first
Keep bins, bikes and deliveries away from low-level joints where you can. Damage at low level is the most common reason communal joints fail early.
Failed mastic often goes unnoticed until heavy rain finds it. Acting at the first signs keeps it a straightforward reseal and saves internal repairs.
Do you need mastic sealing in Tinkers Cross?
UV and rain age external sealant. It stiffens, stops stretching and cracks most of all on the sunniest and most exposed elevations.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- Complaints coming in block by block
- Draughts at frames across a block
- Brittle perimeter mastic across a building
- The same joint failures repeated across a portfolio
Site managers at schools like Fordingbridge Junior School can fit frame mastic into the summer works.

How the job changes by surface
Tenement and older buildings
Traditional buildings have joints that need a careful approach. The material either side of the joint shapes the product choice.
Planned maintenance
Planned resealing replaces emergency callouts and spreads the work.
Our process
When we get to site, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before any cutting starts, with the work itself typically taking one or more days per building, depending on the joint lengths and the access. Jobs in and around smaller places like Tinkers Cross are normally planned as a single visit, so we ask for photographs and rough sizes first. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- A building-by-building inspection lists the failed joints.
- You get a fixed quote, per block or for the whole programme.
- Dates and areas are agreed so occupiers can be told.
- Failed sealant is removed and the faces prepared.
- Joints are resealed and tooled.
- Each building is checked and signed off with the 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Confirm the product named in the specification
Quotes
Every quote starts with the facts: what’s there, how much of it, how we reach it and what’s specified. Send what you have, and we’ll arrange a site visit if anything is unclear.
Advice
Block-wide mastic in Tinkers Cross
Tinkers Cross is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. Outside work still depends on dry joints, and elevations facing the sun and the prevailing weather are typically where frame mastic ages first.
With historic buildings such as Breamore House, 2.2 miles to the north of Tinkers Cross, in the wider area, owners of older properties around Tinkers Cross should expect mastic to need a product that suits old masonry. If you own or manage units on a site such as Arch Farm Industrial Estate (under half a mile south-east of Tinkers Cross), failed mastic on frames, door surrounds and external joints can be dealt with unit by unit.

When to bring in a specialist
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. The usual problems come from preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
Certain joints really need a specialist: for example fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong normally costs more in the end than doing them right.
FAQs: Tinkers Cross

Do you work for managing agents and housing associations?

That depends on the size and complexity of the job. Straightforward work can often be priced from photos and measurements, while larger or less clear jobs get a site visit first.
