Diagnose, treat, sign off
Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: masking tape along the joint edges and sheeting over anything nearby. On site, the work usually takes a few hours for one area, or a planned series of visits across a bigger building, and our waste is bagged and taken away as we go. Smaller jobs around Pickhurst can be grouped with others nearby. You’ll have a fixed quote before work starts.
- First, details reach us through the quote form or a site visit.
- We diagnose the cause of failure and price a fixed scope.
- Where parts of the building must stay open, the work is phased.
- Every failed bead is removed rather than covered.
- A suitable product for each joint goes in at the right depth and is tooled.
- A final walk-round, then the 12-month guarantee applies.
Getting the site ready
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints

Advice
Sealant specialists in Pickhurst
Sometimes a split bead is a symptom rather than the cause. Water at a window perimeter might be coming from the frame, the cill or the wall behind while a movement joint that keeps tearing may simply be too narrow for the job. Part of the job is telling you when the fix is something other than sealant, so nobody pays for a reseal that can’t hold. The enquiries we see most involve window and door perimeter joints that have cracked open and hardened, chalky sealant on south-facing or exposed elevations, on external facade joints, window and door perimeters and washrooms and tea points. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Pickhurst? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005, with CSCS-carded applicators.
In Pickhurst, as anywhere, the first joints to go are typically the ones that work hardest: frame perimeters in the sun, floor joints at doorways and anything that gets wet every day.
Work in smaller places such as Pickhurst tends to come one building at a time: a pub kitchen, a hall, a small office. We plan the visit so everything on the list is done in one go, with the right products and colours on hand.
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 spell out the cover before we begin.

Common questions from Pickhurst clients
Can the sealant on our Pickhurst premises match the finishes?
Yes, sealants come in a wide range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references, cladding, stone or frames is a common request. Send colour references or photos and we will confirm what’s available for the product.
Do you cover business parks and estates near Pickhurst, such as Broomers Hill Business Park?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Pickhurst, Broomers Hill Business Park among them, are all within reach. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.
How do we get a quote?
Send what you have, even a few photos and rough lengths. Questions or a site visit follow where needed, then a fixed quote.
Is it OK to apply fresh sealant over existing beads?
Full removal is part of every quote. Sealing over traps water and lifts once the joint moves, so it isn’t something we do.
Do you work directly for building managers?
Yes. FMs, managing agents and landlords are among our regular clients. We can work to your instruction process and site rules.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. CHAS accredited, Constructionline member, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
Frontages, fit-outs and joints in Pickhurst
Pickhurst sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. External joints still need dry faces and the right temperature, and damp or frosty mornings can hold work up. The 3 miles around Pickhurst take in two named trading estates, business parks or retail parks. Tenant changes on such sites bring fit-outs, and fit-outs bring new joints.
Occupiers with premises at both Broomers Hill Business Park and Station Approach Industrial Estate could have the sealant at each handled under one quote. Offices and shops close to stations such as Pulborough station, 1.4 miles south of Pickhurst, tend to be busy all day, so sealant work is planned around opening hours.

Common problems we fix in Pickhurst
When a bead peels cleanly off one face, it has failed in adhesion. The usual causes are poor preparation, a missed primer, contamination on the joint face or sealant bonded to the base of the joint. We see it often where joints were sealed in a hurry.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Wall and floor joints that have lost their seal
- Leaks that seem to come through a sealant line
- Frame sealant that has cracked, shrunk or pulled away
- Gaps behind commercial kitchen worktops and sinks
In hotels such as Chequers Hotel, 1.3 miles to the south of Pickhurst, refurbishments normally mean bathroom, bar and reception joints where a matched sealant colour has to sit with the finishes.
Comparing quotes
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
- What site paperwork they can supply
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
Leave it or put it right?
Patching the worst lengths can be the right call on a tight budget. Where the remaining sealant is just as old, it tends to fail soon after. We can price both options so you can decide on the facts. Halls, stores and units around places like Pickhurst may not be checked every day, which gives a failed joint time to do damage. Renewing joints in good time avoids the problem.
Every site prices differently: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.
Why us?
- Constructionline member for supplier checks
- Clear, fixed quotes
- Coloured sealants to suit the setting, where available
- Failed material removed, not covered up

What sets the cost
What shapes the price:
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Working within restricted access windows
- Location, for remote and island sites
- The site’s rules and procedures
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote, and you’ll have a fixed figure to work with.
Sending details for a quote
We can often quote from photographs and a few details. Please tell us:
- The site address and postcode
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- Access details, including height
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
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.
What we can’t put right
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Roof leaks that only look like a joint problem
- Structural cracks or movement the joints weren’t designed for
- Water from a services leak rather than a joint
Not sure which it is? You can phone 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
