Mastic sealing in Upper Common
Across Upper Common and the rest of Hampshire, we work the same way: you send details, we return a fixed quote, the joints are resealed and the 12-month guarantee follows. A list of buildings, a few photos and approximate joint numbers are enough for a quick quote, and site visits can be arranged. If you’re dealing with open joints in brickwork or panels and the same joint failures repeated across a portfolio, we can help. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Upper Common? We’ve been sealing commercial buildings since 2005.
Around smaller places like Upper Common, older walls fitted with newer windows are a familiar sight. The mastic needs to suit an irregular masonry face and the look of the building.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

Maintenance after handover
Regular inspection catches problems early. Specifically:
- Prioritise elevations facing the weather
- Log resealing dates block by block
- Encourage occupiers to report problems at frames
- Check the asbestos register before any old mastic is disturbed
Keep records of when each building was resealed. That makes future programmes easier to plan and gives you a history.
Leaks at window perimeters spoil finishes and can affect frames. Early resealing is far simpler than repairs inside.
When something else is needed
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It isn’t the answer for:
- Leaks through the frame itself rather than the perimeter
- Substrate edges that need repairing first
- Broken glass or failed sealed units
If you’re not sure, just ring 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will give you a straight answer.
What we seal

Should maintenance staff do it?
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
Paperwork matters too. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we’ll confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
Your questions answered
Is Upper Common too small for you to travel to?
No. Places such as Upper Common are covered as much as the big towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Will you take on a block within reach of Basingstoke station?
Yes, we work for agents, landlords and housing associations with blocks of every size. Send the address, photos of the elevations and your access arrangements, and we’ll give a fixed quote.
Do you work with property factors and landlords?
Yes. Managing agents, property factors in Scotland, housing associations and landlords with block or commercial portfolios are our main clients for this work, and we quote building by building or as a programme.
Is asbestos a concern with old mastic?
Some mastics in pre-2000 buildings contain asbestos. We check the asbestos register or survey before disturbing it, and if it’s suspected, work stops until it’s tested.
Can weather delay the job?
For external joints, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Inside work is seldom held up.
How many days will you need on site?
The duration is planned around your programme and the access we are given. You’ll have an expected duration with the quote.
How soon can the area be used again?
The product and site conditions decide that. Some take light use quickly, others need longer to cure, and we confirm it before leaving site.
For managing agents and facilities managers
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units book us directly too. We plan around the way the building is used, so the building keeps working while we do.
For owners and agents in Upper Common
Upper Common is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. Outside mastic still needs a dry joint and the right temperature, and the sunniest, most exposed sides of a building usually need attention first. Central London is about 48 miles from Upper Common. Commuter-belt towns tend to have plenty of managed blocks near stations and town centres; their frame mastic often ages block-wide.
With historic buildings such as Hall Place (to the south-east of Upper Common) in the wider area, owners of older properties around Upper Common should expect mastic to need a product that suits old masonry. Trustees of buildings like Church of St. Martin can bring frame and external mastic into a planned maintenance list. If you look after a block within reach of Basingstoke station, 4.4 miles to the north of Upper Common, frame and balcony mastic can be renewed on one programme.
