Share the site address and what’s failing, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote or arrange a visit.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
We begin with a short walk round with whoever looks after the building, agreeing which joints are in scope, where to start and what must stay open. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in. Several jobs near Aldrington can be grouped on one trip. Tell us your site hours and we will plan around them.
- Drawings, the sealant specification and your programme come to us for pricing.
- We return a fixed quote that ties the mastic package to your programme.
- Any site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) is confirmed with the quote.
- Areas are sealed plot by plot or floor by floor as the trades hand them over.
- Joints are cleaned, primed where the maker requires it, backed and sealed to the specification.
- Snags are cleared before handover and completed areas carry our 12-month guarantee.
What we need from you
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
- Flag any permit to work we’ll need
- Move anything stored against the joints
Getting a fixed quote

Advice
Construction mastic for commercial buildings in Aldrington
Mastic tends to be one of the final packages before handover, which puts it right on the critical path. Mastic Doctor takes on mastic packages for main contractors and developers with projects in Aldrington, following the trades through the building as rooms and elevations become ready. Site teams most often ask us about old sealant on a refurbishment that needs stripping before new work and perimeter gaps outside the sealant’s range, across cladding and panel joints, sanitary and kitchen joints and internal decorators’ caulk. Most enquiries from Aldrington start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
Around places like Aldrington, a lot of construction is the conversion of older buildings, which leaves joints between old walls and new frames that need a sealant able to take the movement, in a colour the planners or architect are happy with.

What the job involves on each surface
Fire-rated sealant where specified
Not every penetration suits a sealant. Other products are used for some services and gaps so we’ll flag where the detail needs something different. Record requirements are agreed with the quote.
Kitchens and utility areas
Commercial kitchens often need hygienic or food-safe sealants. We follow the specification and seal to a smooth, cleanable finish.
What sealant work can’t fix
A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. You will hear from us if the cause turns out to be any of the following:
- Fire-stopping design or sign-off (that’s for the designer, fire engineer and building control)
- Designing joint widths or choosing the specification (that sits with the designer)
- Joints damaged after sign-off by following trades
If in doubt, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we seal
- Floor and skirting junctions
- Internal decorators’ caulk
- Cladding and panel joints
- Sanitary and kitchen joints
- Window and door perimeters
- Brick and block movement joints
Aldrington: questions and answers
Can you work on a hospital site such as Nevill Hospital?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Can work at a site such as University of Brighton Moulesecoomb Campus fit around teaching?
Yes. Tell us the term dates, vacation periods and access windows, and we will plan the work around them. Let us know which documents your site asks for, and we will confirm them alongside the quote.
Will you stick to the specified products?
The specification decides the product, and we will raise it if something in it doesn’t suit the joint. Product standards such as BS EN 15651 are often named in specifications.
What guarantee comes with a mastic package?
It’s backed by our 12-month guarantee. Protecting sealed areas from following trades helps avoid damage.
Do you need to see the site first?
Photos, drawings or a schedule are often enough to quote. Where they aren’t, we arrange a site visit before quoting.
Can fire-rated sealing at service penetrations be included?
It can be part of the package where specified. Record requirements are confirmed at quote stage.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so it all comes out first.
When to bring in a specialist
There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class, which is what makes a joint last.

Why it’s worth doing now in Aldrington
When a package runs over budget, downgrading the product is a common first thought. A failed joint in the defects period costs far more than the product difference and external joints are where it shows first. We price the specified product and will tell you plainly where an alternative would or wouldn’t work. Sealant hardens, cracks and loses grip with age, UV and movement. Renewing it in good time keeps the building weathertight.
Pricing mastic packages depends on how many there are, their condition and the access. Call for a quote.

Before you send an enquiry
For an accurate fixed quote, we need to understand the site. Send us:
- The asbestos register, for older buildings

- What the building is and how it’s used
Every job follows the same four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. To take the first step, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email the details over.
Building and refurbishing in Aldrington
Aldrington lies within about 1 mile of the sea. Coastal exposure means perimeter and cladding joints work harder than on an inland job, and the sealant, primer and backing need choosing with that in mind. A 2-mile radius around Aldrington takes in a good number of hotels. Hotel extensions and refits normally have to fit around bookings, so mastic dates are tight.
For contractors on a campus like University of Brighton Moulesecoomb Campus (3.4 miles east of Aldrington), facade and perimeter sealing has to fit around students and term dates. Recladding or extending a unit at a site like Portland Road Trading Estate, less than half a mile north-west of Aldrington, brings panel joints and frame perimeters into the programme. New wings at hospitals like Nevill Hospital, 0.7 miles to the north of Aldrington, bring long runs of window and panel joints to seal.
