External movement joints
Failed sealant is removed, backing rod inserted to control depth and the joint resealed with a grade whose movement class fits.

We’re a Constructionline member and CHAS accredited, and we carry public liability insurance. If you are dealing with brittle perimeter mastic across a building and mastic failing across several blocks on an estate, we can help, on communal entrances and stairwells, communal kitchens and washrooms and balcony and threshold joints alike.

In a smaller place such as Worting, landlords and agents tend to look after small blocks, flats over shops, sheltered housing and commercial units. The mastic around their frames and external joints ages like anywhere else.
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 are clear about what is covered before work starts.

For owners and agents in Worting
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Outside work still depends on dry joints, and elevations facing the sun and the prevailing weather are normally where frame mastic ages first. Central London is about 48 miles from Worting. Managed blocks of flats are a big part of commuter-belt property.
Older buildings near Worting, from historic houses such as The Vyne (to the north-east of Worting) to more modest stock, need compatible products when frames are resealed. Churches, halls and community buildings such as Church of St Thomas A Becket are looked after by trustees and committees like any other owner, and their frames, doors and external joints need mastic renewed in time.

What we’re called out for in Worting
Poor preparation explains many failed joints. Where the faces weren’t cleaned or primed as specified, the bead peels off one side.
Things that typically lead to an enquiry:
- Draught complaints from residents or tenants
- Leaks at window and door perimeters
- Estate-wide sealant that is simply worn out
- Window mastic that has split and shrunk
For a school such as Chiltern Primary School, perimeter mastic on windows and doors is a holiday job.
What your quote should include
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
- Proof of insurance
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
What sets the cost
The price varies from site to site. It mainly depends on:
- Distance, for remote addresses
- The total length or number of joints
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- The size and state of each joint
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote, and you’ll have a fixed figure to work with.
Before you send an enquiry
The more we know, the firmer the quote. When you get in touch, include:
- The postcode of the building
- Any specification or named product
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
Send us photographs, drawings or a joint schedule are often enough for a fixed quote. Where a site visit makes more sense, we’ll arrange one.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
At the end of each section, the masking comes off, the area is cleaned and every joint is checked. If an area should be left alone while the sealant cures, we say how long and put signs out. What matters most for a job in Worting is a clear list of what needs doing. A fixed quote follows.
- First we look at the mastic on each building and note what needs replacing.
- We send a fixed quote that sets out the joints, the products and the programme.
- Dates, areas and access are agreed so residents or tenants can be told in advance.
- Failed mastic is removed and the faces taken back to sound, dry material.
- Backing rod and primer go in as the joint requires, then the new bead is placed and tooled.
- Completed joints are inspected and carry a 12-month workmanship guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Tell staff and tenants when we will be in
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
Getting a fixed quote
A good quote starts with a clear picture: the joints involved, quantities, access and the product called for. Share whatever details you have and we’ll fill any gaps with a visit.
Advice
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but larger jobs are different: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
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.

Common questions from Worting clients
Can you quote for a block close to Basingstoke station?
Yes. Managing agents, landlords, property factors and housing associations are who this service is for. Give us the building’s details and say how residents are notified, and we’ll quote and plan to suit.
Will you take on work at estates like West Ham Industrial Estate, close to Worting?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Worting, West Ham Industrial Estate among them, are all within reach. To start, just ring 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Do you check for asbestos in old sealant?
In older buildings, old mastic can contain asbestos. We check the asbestos register or survey before disturbing it, and if it’s suspected, work stops until it’s tested.
Can you reseal a whole block or estate?
We can. Each building is inspected, quoted and scheduled in turn starting wherever is most urgent.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to, and any queries are raised before we start.
What guarantee do you give on resealing?
There is a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, backed by public liability insurance.
How do you handle work on occupied blocks?
We plan around people living or working in the building. Dates and areas are agreed with you so residents or tenants can be told and communal access is kept open.
Maintenance after handover
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. Our advice:
- Encourage occupiers to report problems at frames
- Plan resealing building by building rather than complaint by complaint
- Prioritise elevations facing the weather
- Check sealant joints during planned building inspections
Include sealant in planned building inspections. Watch for splits, open gaps, hard or chalky surfaces and mastic pulling away, and note the building and elevation.
The longer failed joints are left, the more likely the substrate edges break up. Once that happens, repairs come before resealing and the job grows.
