Questions we are asked in Storrington
Is Storrington too small for you to travel to?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Is Wiston Business Park, near Storrington, within your area?
Yes, sites like Wiston Business Park are within our area, along with the rest of Storrington. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
What site paperwork can you provide?
We will confirm the paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, with the quote. We hold CHAS accreditation and Constructionline membership and carry five million pounds of public liability insurance.
Which sealant will you use?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
Could the old sealant in an older building contain asbestos?
On older buildings, our first request is the asbestos survey. Managing asbestos is the dutyholder’s responsibility and removing it isn’t something we do.
Is your work guaranteed?
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months. Public liability insurance is in place too.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
Commercial mastic work in Storrington
Failed sealant isn’t always the whole story. A leak near a frame edge can start in the frame, the cill or the cavity while a movement joint that keeps tearing may simply be too narrow for the job. We look before we quote and tell you plainly if sealant won’t solve it, so budgets go where they’ll do some good. If you have messy, uneven beads from earlier work that let the building down and sanitary sealant that has gone black and patchy, we can help, whatever the surface. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Storrington? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005, CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
In Storrington, as anywhere, the first joints to go are normally the ones that work hardest: south-facing perimeters, entrance thresholds and busy washrooms.
Around smaller places such as Storrington, small firms often work from converted barns, yards and rural units. Old masonry and timber meet new glazing and partitions in these buildings, and every junction needs a sealant that suits it.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: preparation, application and finish. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

How the job changes by surface
Commercial kitchens and tea points
Kitchen joints along worktops, sinks, splashbacks and wall cladding collect grease and moisture. Proper degreasing comes before any new sealant, and a hygienic or food-safe sealant is used where food contact is possible.
Facade and cladding joints
Facade sealant failures can be hard to spot from the ground. Photos from a closer viewpoint help us price, and we’ll confirm the colours available for the specified product.
When to bring in a specialist
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class.
Certain joints really need a specialist: for instance fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
Commercial sealant contractors in Storrington: the local picture
Storrington has at least three named business or industrial parks inside a 3-mile radius. Each new occupier on a park like these tends to refit, from reception to staff kitchen. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Even so, outside sealing waits for a dry joint, and cold, damp mornings can delay it.
Refits at hotels like OYO White Horse Hotel, under half a mile to the south-west of Storrington, bring joints at vanity tops, bars and reception desks that guests see every day. Premises within reach of Pulborough station, 3.9 miles to the north-west of Storrington, often have busy frontages where joints are seen by everyone passing.
Storrington is about 7 miles north of Worthing, in West Sussex. Our applicators travel to Storrington for work on sealant joints. 373 places across West Sussex fall within our area, Storrington among them. There’s a separate page for Brighton, about 15 miles away.

What affects the price in Storrington
These are the things that shape the price:
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Travel to remote or island sites
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Joint width, depth and condition
The work involved drives the cost: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a fixed quote and we will explain how it’s made up.
Sending details for a quote
There’s no need for a formal survey. These details are enough to start:
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- Any dates the work must fit around
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- The product your specification calls for
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price against exactly what is specified. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photographs and a few notes.
Do you need commercial sealant contractors in Storrington?
No sealant joint is permanent. Its life comes down to movement, UV and weather, how it’s cleaned, how much traffic passes it and what was used in the first place. On a busy commercial site several of those pile up at once.
Look out for the following:
- Shrunken sealant along kitchen worktops and splashbacks
- Wall and floor joints that have lost their seal
- Sanitary sealant that has gone black and patchy
- Untidy joints in a reception, shop floor or lobby
Parks like Wiston Business Park, 2 miles to the east of Storrington, see tenants come and go, and every move-in brings joints to seal.
What your quote should include
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
- The terms of the workmanship guarantee
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
On site: what to expect
Occupied buildings need a little choreography. We sign and contain the area we’re in, with routes through the building left open and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use. For a job in Storrington, the main thing is a clear picture of the work. A fixed quote follows.
- Site photographs, drawings or a visit tell us what’s there and how it has failed.
- You get a fixed quote covering removal, preparation and the new sealant.
- We agree the order of work, access windows and site hours with you.
- The failed sealant comes out and the faces are prepared, with primer where required.
- Backing goes in, the new sealant is laid and tooled, and the area is left neat.
- Completed areas are signed off with you under our 12-month guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Agree which areas must stay open

Advice
After the work
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Keep washroom and kitchen extraction working
- Log reseals in the O&M or maintenance records
- Ask fit-out and M&E contractors to report any sealant they disturb
- Ask cleaners to use a soft cloth and mild cleaner on sealant
In washrooms and kitchens, extraction makes a real difference to sealant life. Extraction that isn’t working keeps the joints wet, and mould follows damp. Your maintenance team can look at extract fans at the same time.
Occupiers often notice failing sealant before the facilities team does, and it reflects on how the building is run. Planned replacement saves fielding the same complaint again and again.
