Quoting for work in Titchfield Common
We price every job individually. The things that drive the figure:
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Distance, for remote addresses
- How much there is to seal
- Any access equipment needed
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well.
Before you send an enquiry
However big the job, the same details help:
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- The site address and postcode
- Access details, including height
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
A handful of photographs and a postcode is the fastest way to a quote. Upload them with the quote form, or phone 01277 525 020 or use the quote form to discuss it first.
How we handle mastic sealing in Titchfield Common
Treatment starts with a proper look: which joints have failed, why, and whether sealant is the right answer. Old mastic is removed entirely, the faces prepared, primer used where the maker specifies it and new sealant tooled in, with backing rod setting the depth where it’s needed. We work on window and door perimeters on blocks, communal entrances and stairwells and communal kitchens and washrooms, and what we are called in for most is old repairs sealed over failed mastic and brittle perimeter mastic across a building. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Titchfield Common first comes to us: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
Older buildings and conversions around places like Titchfield Common mix old masonry with newer frames. The mastic there needs to suit both surfaces.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and the quote explains what it covers.

Frames, entrances and external joints in Titchfield Common
Titchfield Common is within about 2 miles of the coast. On buildings near the shore, the side facing the weather usually needs its mastic renewed first. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. External mastic still waits for dry faces and the right temperature, and south- and west-facing elevations, which take the most sun and rain, often age first.
Older community buildings, St John among them, often have frames of mixed ages whose mastic varies. If you own or manage units on a site such as Kite's Croft Business Park (0.6 miles east of Titchfield Common), failed mastic on frames, door surrounds and external joints can be dealt with unit by unit. Schools and community buildings such as St John the Baptist Church of England Primary School need frame and external mastic kept sound like any building.

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint, which is what makes a joint last.
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. Where it goes wrong is preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
On site: what to expect
Site rules come first: sign-in, induction and whatever permit system the building uses. With the paperwork done, we take the joints in the sequence agreed with you. Work in places the size of Titchfield Common is planned as a single visit where we can. Photos with rough sizes let us arrive with everything needed.

- Cracked or crumbling render, brick or stone at the joint edges (we’ll tell you if so)

- Materials that need asbestos testing before work
If you’re not sure, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will give you a straight answer.

Common questions from Titchfield Common clients
Our building in Titchfield Common is near the coast: does that change the sealant?
It can, yes: buildings near the sea take more wind-driven rain, and salt in the air nearer the shore. We check the specified product suits the exposure and pay close attention to preparation.
Can you quote for a block close to Swanwick station?
Yes, and several blocks can go on one quote. Give us the building’s details and say how residents are notified, and we’ll quote and plan to suit.
Do you do block-wide mastic programmes?
We can. We survey and price each building, then work through them in order, and the programme can start with the worst.
Is asbestos a concern with old mastic?
Some mastics in pre-2000 buildings contain asbestos. We ask for the asbestos register or survey before work starts and suspect material is tested first.
Who decides which product is used?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
How soon can the area be used again?
Curing time varies by product, and we confirm it on the day.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to.

What else we do in Titchfield Common
Looking after the joints
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. Our advice:
- Keep a record of when each building was resealed
- Look at the sunniest and most exposed elevations first
- Make mastic part of routine maintenance checks
- Make it easy for occupiers to report draughts
Log the date and extent of the resealing for each block. That makes future programmes easier to plan and gives you a history.
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.
Leave it or put it right?
Mixed repairs by different contractors leave a patchwork of products and colours. Resealing a whole building gives a consistent finish and one 12-month guarantee. Small buildings around Titchfield Common suffer from failed joints as much as large ones. Catching it early means a reseal rather than repairs.
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote, and you’ll have a fixed figure to work with.
