Commercial sealant contractors in Tortington, done properly
Most commercial buildings carry hundreds of metres of sealant that nobody thinks about until it fails, and in an occupied building failure typically announces itself as a stained ceiling or an unhappy tenant. Mastic Doctor works as a commercial sealant contractor for facilities managers, managing agents and main contractors. Our job is to diagnose the failure, remove the old bead and seal again using a product chosen for the movement and exposure. If you are dealing with weathered facade sealant that no longer flexes and frame sealant that has cracked, shrunk or pulled away, we can help. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: in Tortington, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
We price commercial jobs in Tortington from photos, drawings or a site visit, and the scope is set out in writing.
Commercial sealant work around smaller places like Tortington tends to mean pubs and restaurants, halls, farm shops and offices in converted farm buildings. Each has kitchens, washrooms and frames whose joints need renewing in time.
We stand by our work with a 12-month guarantee. That covers our preparation and application, and we come back if anything isn’t right.

Diagnose, treat, sign off
Where the site stays busy, the work is phased so only one area is out of use at a time. Each section is protected, cleaned back and sealed, then handed back before the next one starts. Jobs in and around smaller places like Tortington are typically planned as a single visit, so we ask for photos and rough sizes first. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- We start with the evidence: photos, drawings or a look on site.
- You get a fixed quote covering removal, preparation and the new sealant.
- Sequence, access and working times are settled before the first joint is touched.
- 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.
Getting the site ready
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
Getting a fixed quote
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photographs and a few notes.
Related advice
Shops, offices and hotels in and around Tortington
Tortington sits close to the coast, within about 3 miles. For shops, hotels and offices, that means frontage and frame joints that weather faster than they would inland. Where a frontage needs a particular colour, the product still has to suit that exposure. Rainfall across the South East, Tortington included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Even so, outside sealing waits for a dry joint, and cold, damp mornings can delay it.
If you have premises on more than one site, say at Ford Airfield Industrial Estate and Rudford Industrial Estate, one contractor and one quote can cover both. Premises within reach of Ford station (to the south of Tortington) often have busy frontages where joints are seen by everyone passing. On estates like Ford Airfield Industrial Estate, 1.4 miles south-west of Tortington, the office and welfare end of each unit has its own sealant to maintain.
Tortington is about 3 miles north-west of Littlehampton, in West Sussex. Across the BN18 postcode area, it works the same way: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed.

Owners, agents and contractors
Whether you are a managing agent, a property factor or an owner’s representative: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed. Keys, access and contacts can be agreed in advance.

What the job involves on each surface
Washrooms and toilets
Mould that has grown into washroom sealant can’t normally be cleaned out. The lasting answer is removal, preparation and a new sanitary bead, room by room if that suits the building.
Fire-rated seals where specified
Fire-rated sealant is only one type of fire-stopping product. Other products, such as collars, wraps and batts, are specified for different services.
What affects the price in Tortington
We price every job individually. The things that drive the figure:
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Access and working height
- How much there is to seal
What a job costs comes down to how many linear metres there are, what has to come out first and how the joints are reached. Call for a quote once you have the details.
What to include in your enquiry
There’s no need for a formal survey. These details are enough to start:
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- Clear photos of the problem areas
- The type of building and who uses it
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
Every job follows the same four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. The first step is to give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email with what you know.
When something else is needed
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we are upfront when that’s the case. These need a different solution:
- A dripping trap, valve or pipe behind a fitting
- Walls or slabs moving more than any sealant can take
- Broken glass or blown double-glazed units
Not sure which it is? You can phone 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Movement joints in walls and floors
- External facade joints
- Floor and threshold joints
- Kitchen worktops and splashbacks
- Window and door perimeters
- Washrooms and tea points
Questions about Tortington
Does a hotel in Tortington need to shut while its sealant is renewed?
Almost never. The work is phased so most rooms stay available. Tell us your quiet periods and access windows and we will plan around them.
Will you take on work at estates like Ford Airfield Industrial Estate, close to Tortington?
Yes, sites like Ford Airfield Industrial Estate are within our area, along with the rest of Tortington. To start, just call 01277 525 020 or use the quote form with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Which sealant will you use?
The specification comes first, if there is one. Without one, the joint decides: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
How is commercial sealant work priced?
Price depends on joint lengths and widths, how much removal is involved, the product, access and phasing. For a fixed quote, send details through our quote form.
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.
Can you supply RAMS and insurance details?
Let us know your requirements when you ask for a price, and we will confirm the RAMS, insurance and CSCS details with the quote. For older buildings we will ask for the asbestos register, plus your site induction rules.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. Should the site need card details in advance, tell us and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
Why deal with it now?
Putting off a reseal usually moves the cost rather than avoiding it. Water past a frame perimeter or a washroom joint can reach plasterboard, insulation, floor coverings and the ceiling below, which brings decorators and flooring contractors into the repair. Resealing while only the sealant has failed keeps the job small. Around Tortington, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
The specified product makes a difference, and so does the preparation, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
