Construction mastic across Abingworth
Send drawings, photos or a joint schedule, or tell us about the site, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Keeping the joints sound
For the best life from the joints:
- Keep finished joints away from paint, plaster and scrapers
- Bring the mastic contractor in after the last trades are through
- Plan external elevations with the weather in mind
- Record the products used in the O&M file
Record which products went where in the handover file. That helps the building owner maintain the joints later. We can confirm the handover information you need when we quote.
Snag items left to the last week put handover at risk. Clearing snags area by area spreads the work out.
Construction mastic for commercial buildings in Abingworth
Mastic follows everyone else, which means it absorbs every delay upstream. We agree a sequence at the start and adjust it as the site manager releases areas. That keeps the work right first time and saves rework. We work on brick and block movement joints, floor and skirting junctions and sanitary and kitchen joints, and what we are called in for most is window and door perimeters that won’t pass inspection and early adhesion failures on new external joints. Most enquiries from Abingworth start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
For a site near Abingworth, the mastic visit is planned so the right sealants, primers and backing rod are on hand. Drawings, photographs and the programme let us give a fixed quote.
Every job is signed off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

New build and refits around Abingworth
Abingworth sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. That doesn’t stop wet spells, or frosty starts that leave panels too damp to seal, so we time external mastic for dry faces and agree it with the site team. Abingworth has a number of hotels close by, all within 2 miles. Hotel refurbishments often run to tight programmes between busy periods, and perimeter and sanitary sealant has to keep up.
Recladding or extending a unit at a site like Crays Court (business park), 1 mile north-east of Abingworth, brings panel joints and frame perimeters into the programme. Older buildings in the area around Abingworth, such as Parham House, 3.1 miles south-west of Abingworth, need care when sealed: the product has to suit soft or historic materials.
Abingworth is about 8 miles north of Worthing, in West Sussex. Anywhere in RH20, the process is the same: details in, fixed quote out, then sealing and a 12-month guarantee. Abingworth is one of 373 places we cover in West Sussex. We also cover Brighton, around 15 miles from Abingworth.
Business premises anywhere in RH20 are within our area for mastic packages. Buildings on Abingworth Crescent, Chestnut Drive and Shelley Place are within our area. Close to Abingworth, our area also takes in Thakeham (1 mile north-east), Warminghurst (1 mile east), Heath Common (1 mile south-east), West Chiltington Common (1 mile west) and West Chiltington (1 mile north-west).

Common questions from Abingworth clients
Is Abingworth off your patch?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Will you fit the mastic around our build programme in Abingworth?
Yes, we work to the programme and the sequence the site sets. Let us know which documents your site asks for, and we will confirm them alongside the quote.
How long before the joints can be used?
That comes down to the sealant and the temperature. Some products skin over quickly but need longer to cure fully, and we confirm it before leaving site.
Can you work to our specification?
The specification decides the product and flag anything that doesn’t look right for the joint. Product standards such as BS EN 15651 are often named in specifications.
How long does a typical visit take?
The duration is planned around your programme and the access we are given. You will have an expected duration with the quote.
What accreditations do you hold?
We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and our applicators hold CSCS cards. Tell us what site paperwork you need and we’ll confirm with the quote.
Does the weather affect the work?
For external joints, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Inside work is seldom held up.
Leave it or put it right?
Clearing snags piecemeal is tempting when handover is close. But one planned snagging pass through each area typically clears more for less disruption. We can run snagging as its own phase before handover. Around Abingworth, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once, rather than one at a time. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
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 quote.

Building owners, agents and FMs in Abingworth
We work for building owners and managing agents on everything from one building to a spread of sites. One quote can cover more than one site, which keeps the paperwork simple.
Planned maintenance programmes are welcome: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. Sites in Abingworth can sit alongside others in a wider programme across West Sussex.
Common problems we fix in Abingworth
Three-sided adhesion is a frequent fault on new work. Fixed to three faces, the sealant rips the first time the joint opens, so depth is controlled with backing rod or bond-breaker tape.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- Early adhesion failures on new external joints
- A long mastic snag list close to completion
- Bath and shower joints scraped during the final clean
- Failed sealant in an existing building being refurbished
For contractors at a school such as Thakeham Primary School, sealing has to be finished before term starts.

What the job involves on each surface
Internal decorators’ caulk
Caulking is often done in a hurry by whoever’s on site. A neat, consistent caulk line makes the decorators’ job quicker and keeps the snag list down.
Snagging before handover
Damaged, missed or untidy joints make up most snag lists. Snagging can be included or priced separately.
