Mastic sealing in Upham
Our clients include managing agents, property factors in Scotland, housing associations and landlords with block or commercial portfolios. Many prefer a planned programme to one-off visits and we quote and schedule each building in turn. We work on communal kitchens and washrooms, communal entrances and stairwells and balcony and threshold joints, and what we’re called in for most is cracked, hardened mastic round windows on a block and complaints coming in block by block. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Upham first comes to us: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
For owners with a single building near Upham, we plan to finish in one visit where possible. Photos of each elevation help us quote accurately.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

Upham: questions and answers
Can you quote for a block close to Hedge End station?
Yes. Managing agents, landlords, property factors and housing associations are who this service is for. Photos of each elevation help us quote accurately.
Does your area include sites such as Deer Park Farm Industrial Estate, near Upham?
Yes. We cover Upham and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Deer Park Farm Industrial Estate. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.
Do you guarantee the mastic work?
A 12-month guarantee covers our work. It applies to our workmanship rather than damage or problems with the frames.
Do you work in Upham?
Yes. We cover Upham, and you can give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email us to get started.
Do you work with property factors and landlords?
Yes, that’s exactly who this service is for. Buildings are scheduled in turn with dates agreed in advance.
How do you handle work on occupied blocks?
Residents and tenants carry on as normal. We flag any areas that need internal access well before the dates so you can arrange it with occupiers.
Does the weather affect the work?
It can, for external work. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
General trades versus a specialist
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but larger jobs are different: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
Some joints are best left to specialists: for instance 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.
Mastic sealing in Upham: the local picture
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Outside mastic still needs a dry joint and the right temperature, and south- and west-facing elevations, which take the most sun and rain, often age first. Central London is about 61 miles from Upham. Around the capital’s commuter belt, managing agents look after many blocks close to stations and town centres.
Blocks of flats and mixed-use buildings often cluster around stations such as Hedge End station, 4.4 miles south-west of Upham, and their window and balcony mastic tends to age at the same rate across a building. If your remit includes a building such as Upham Church of England Aided Primary School, frame and door mastic can be programmed for the holidays.
Upham is about 5 miles east of Eastleigh, in Hampshire. Any commercial site in Upham is covered, whether it’s a single job or part of a planned programme. 723 places across Hampshire fall within our area, including Upham. We also cover Southampton, around 8 miles from Upham.

Related advice
Signs you need mastic sealing in Upham
Much failed sealant was laid on dirty, dusty or damp surfaces. Where the faces weren’t cleaned or primed as specified it comes away from one face.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Communal area joints that look neglected
- No planned programme for sealant
- Water getting in round frames after rain
- Failed external movement joints
Trustees of buildings like Church of St Mary can bring frame and external mastic into a planned maintenance list.
Before you book anyone
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
- Their public liability cover
- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
Looking after the joints
Regular inspection catches problems early. Specifically:
- Share the asbestos register when you send details
- Log resealing dates block by block
- Encourage occupiers to report problems at frames
- Include mastic in your cyclical inspections
If a joint we sealed fails within 12 months, tell us and we will look at it. Beyond that, routine checks spot the next round of repairs.
Left open, joint edges in render, brick or frames can deteriorate. Once that happens, repairs come before resealing and the job grows.
Work for main contractors and building owners
When you manage a building on behalf of an owner, 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.
Building owners and managing agents use us on everything from one building to a spread of sites around Upham. One quote can cover more than one site, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.

Leave it or put it right?
Reacting to every complaint means sending someone out block by block. Planned resealing covers a whole building or estate in one go and is simpler to manage and budget. For buildings around smaller places like Upham, water damage can go unnoticed for longer, especially where a building isn’t used daily, so a failed joint can leak for a while before anyone sees it. Renewing joints in good time avoids the problem.
We don’t publish prices, since every building and every scope is different. Call for a quote and we’ll price your job on its own details.
