About our mastic sealing in Townsend
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 while we work. We work on communal kitchens and washrooms, shopfronts below residential blocks and communal entrances and stairwells, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are worn sealant at communal door frames and window mastic that has split and shrunk. Most enquiries from Townsend start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
Around smaller places like Townsend, older walls fitted with newer windows are a familiar sight. Perimeter mastic there has to grip an uneven face and suit the building’s character.
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’re clear about what is covered before work starts.

Looking after buildings in and around Townsend
Central London is about 49 miles from Townsend. Around the capital’s commuter belt, managing agents look after many blocks close to stations and town centres, and window and balcony mastic on them tends to age at the same rate. Townsend 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 south- and west-facing elevations, which take the most sun and rain, often age first.
If you look after a block within reach of Midgham station, 4.9 miles to the north of Townsend, frame and balcony mastic can be renewed on one programme. Schools and community buildings such as The Hurst School need frame and external mastic kept sound like any building. Older buildings near Townsend, from historic houses such as The Vyne (to the east of Townsend) to more modest stock, need compatible products when frames are resealed.
Townsend is about 3 miles south-west of Tadley, in Hampshire. Any commercial site in Townsend is covered. Across Hampshire, 723 places are covered, Townsend among them. Our Reading page has more on work in that area (13 miles or so).

If in doubt, ring 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think.

Diagnose, treat, sign off
Site rules come first: signing in, inductions and any permit to work. Once we are cleared to begin, the joints are worked through in the order agreed with your site contact. Jobs in and around smaller places like Townsend are normally planned as a single visit, so we ask for photographs and rough sizes first. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- First comes a look at the joints and, for older buildings, the asbestos records.
- A fixed quote covers the joints, products and order of work.
- Failed mastic is removed completely.
- The joints are prepared and resealed with the right product.
- Buildings are completed in turn.
What we need from you
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Move anything stored against the joints

Keeping the joints sound
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. We suggest:
- Have the asbestos survey to hand for older buildings
- Include mastic in your cyclical inspections
- Group repairs into a planned programme
- Ask residents or tenants to report leaks and draughts early
Log the date and extent of the resealing for each block. It helps plan the next round and gives you a history.
One failed perimeter normally means others on the same building are close so a single failure is a sign to check the rest. Doing them together saves going back again and again.
When to bring in a specialist
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. 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. 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.
How the quote is worked out
We price every job individually. The things that drive the figure:
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Which sealant the job calls for
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Distance, for remote addresses
The specified product makes a difference, as does the preparation each joint needs, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
What we need to price the job
We can often quote from photos and a few details. It helps to include:
- Specification clauses that apply
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- The type of building and who uses it
Quotes are fixed against the scope you send, so the cost is agreed before work starts. To start the process, call 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.
FAQs: Townsend
Can you work at a site such as Scion Business Park, by Townsend?
Yes. We cover Townsend and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Scion Business Park. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Is Townsend too far out for you?
No. Places such as Townsend are covered as much as the big towns. London and every South East county are within our area. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
How long before the joints can be used?
That comes down to the sealant and the temperature. Some take light use quickly, others need longer to cure, so we will confirm the curing time on the day.
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.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
Can weather delay the job?
Outside, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Inside work is seldom held up.
Will you quote for a small job?
Single areas, one-off repairs and whole buildings are all quoted the same way: details, then a fixed price, then sealing, then a 12-month guarantee.
Work for main contractors and building owners
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.
Planned maintenance programmes are welcome: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. Sites in Townsend can sit alongside others in a wider programme across Hampshire.
