Mastic sealing in Upper Burgate
In buildings from before 2000, some old mastics contain asbestos. Before we disturb it, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey and if it’s suspected, work stops until it’s tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials. If you have occupiers reporting cold air round windows and the same joint failures repeated across a portfolio, we can put it right. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in Upper Burgate, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Owners and agents with buildings around smaller places such as Upper Burgate tend to manage small terraces of association properties, converted barns and commercial units. Frame and wall-joint mastic on all of them ages and hardens.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: preparation, application and finish. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

Looking after buildings in and around Upper Burgate
Rainfall across the South East, Upper Burgate included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Even so, frame mastic only goes on in dry, workable conditions, while the elevations that take the most sun tend to show hardened mastic first.
With historic buildings such as Breamore House, 1.6 miles north of Upper Burgate, in the wider area, owners of older properties around Upper Burgate should expect mastic to need a product that suits old masonry. Churches, halls and community buildings such as Woodgreen Methodist Church are looked after by trustees and committees like any other owner, and their frames, doors and external joints need mastic renewed in time.
Upper Burgate is in Hampshire. We send applicators to Upper Burgate for mastic joints. Across Hampshire, 723 places are covered, Upper Burgate among them. Southampton is covered too, some 17 miles away.

Different surfaces, different methods
Window and door perimeters on blocks
Window and door perimeters are where most mastic failure shows. We remove the failed mastic, prepare the faces, add backing rod if the joint is deep and reseal.
Commercial and mixed-use buildings
Commercial occupiers typically stay open during the work, so we plan around them.
Quoting for work in Upper Burgate
Each job is priced on its own details. The things that drive the figure:
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- The size and state of each joint
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Travel to remote or island sites
No two sites price the same: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.
Before you send an enquiry
The more we know, the firmer the quote. Helpful details to send:
- Access details, including height
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- When you need the work done
- Specification clauses that apply
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.
Signs you need mastic sealing in Upper Burgate
We often find joints filled solid with no backing rod, so the mastic is glued to the joint bottom too. That three-sided adhesion stops it stretching and it tears.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Communal area joints that look neglected
- Brittle perimeter mastic across a building
- Repeated reactive repairs to the same buildings
- Movement joints with sealant missing
If you own or manage units on a site such as Arch Farm Industrial Estate (0.9 miles south-west of Upper Burgate), failed mastic on frames, door surrounds and external joints can be dealt with unit by unit.

Keeping the joints sound
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. Our advice:
- Avoid piecemeal callouts where you can
- Look at the sunniest and most exposed elevations first
- List the paperwork your organisation requires when you send details
- Protect low-level joints in entrances
Encourage occupiers to report water or draughts at frames. A quick report keeps a small repair small.
Planned resealing is easier to budget than emergency repairs. A programme can start with the worst buildings so spending is spread.
Why it’s worth doing now in Upper Burgate
Open external joints let water into walls and around frames. Damp patches, stained plaster and decorating claims can follow and those cost far more to put right. Converted and older buildings near places like Upper Burgate tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.
