How we handle construction mastic in America Ground
Refurbishment work needs a slightly different approach from new build. Existing joints have to be stripped back to sound faces, because fresh sealant can’t key into cured silicone. New and existing joints then get the same preparation. Site teams most often ask us about window and door perimeters that won’t pass inspection and sealant knocked or painted over by other trades, across brick and block movement joints, floor and skirting junctions and cladding and panel joints. Looking for mastic applicators who cover America Ground? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005.
For a contractor on a smaller site near America Ground, one mastic visit at the right stage saves return trips. Let us know the key stages and we’ll time the work so nothing waits on us.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: twelve months on the work we carried out. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we are upfront about that.

Common questions from America Ground clients
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Conquest Hospital, something you do?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Does the sea air around America Ground change the choice of sealant?
It can. Driven rain and salt are tougher on outside sealant than sheltered inland conditions. We choose the product for the exposure, prime where the manufacturer requires it and size the joint for its movement.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Our insurance certificate can be sent alongside the quote.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and we’ll price the work to it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
Does weather affect external mastic work?
Weather matters for external sealing: the joint needs to be dry and within the product’s temperature range. We plan external elevations with that in mind.
Can you fit around our working hours?
Mention the site’s hours and access windows in your enquiry, and we’ll schedule the work to suit. You can reach the office between 8am and 5pm, Monday to Friday.
Can fire-rated sealing at service penetrations be included?
Fire-rated sealant can be included where it’s specified, installed to the product’s tested detail. The design and sign-off belong to the designer, fire engineer or building control.
Our process
Our CSCS-carded applicators arrive with the sealants, primers and backing rod the job calls for. Joint faces are cleaned back to sound, dry surfaces, primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, and the sealant is tooled off neatly. What matters most for a job in America Ground is a clear list of what needs doing, so send photos of each area. A fixed quote follows.
- First we take quantities off the drawings and read through the specification.
- A fixed quote sets out the scope, the products and the sequence.
- Any site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) is confirmed with the quote.
- We seal each plot or floor as it’s released to us.
- Each joint is prepared, backed to depth and sealed in the product the specification names.
- Snags are cleared before handover and completed areas carry our 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Send your site hours and access windows
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
Request a quote
We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so the cost is agreed before work starts. To start the process, call the office on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form.
Advice
Building and refurbishing in America Ground
America Ground is within about 1 mile of the coast. Facades and window perimeters on coastal schemes take more wind-driven rain, and salt air nearer the shore, and the sealant, primer and backing need choosing with that in mind. America Ground is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. Even so, frost and condensation on steel and glass are common on winter mornings, which is why external dates are agreed with the site manager.
Recladding or extending a unit at a site like York Road Business Centre (1.2 miles north-west of America Ground) brings panel joints and frame perimeters into the programme. For a contractor at a hotel such as Chatsworth Hotel (less than half a mile south-east of America Ground), the mastic often has to be finished before a reopening date.
America Ground is about 1 mile east of St Leonards, in East Sussex. Across the TN34 postcode area, it works the same way: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed. We work across 308 places in East Sussex, large and small. Our Brighton page has more on work in that area.

Leave it or put it right?
Clearing snags piecemeal is tempting when handover is close. A planned sweep of each plot or floor catches the lot in one go, and avoids repeated visits. We can run snagging as its own phase before handover. A failed joint lets water into a building whatever its size. Catching it early means a reseal rather than repairs.
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well.

Owners, agents and contractors
Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor. Programme, specification and site rules come first, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
We work for building owners and managing agents on sealant work across single buildings or whole portfolios. One quote can cover more than one site, which keeps the paperwork simple.
Signs you need construction mastic in America Ground
Wide, tapered or inconsistent gaps around frames are a common problem. Sealant has a range of joint widths it can cope with. Better to raise it at the start than seal a joint that’s bound to fail.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Bath and shower joints scraped during the final clean
- Mastic snags holding up handover
- Old sealant on a refurbishment that needs stripping before new work
- Frame perimeters left unsealed or poorly sealed
For contractors at a school such as University School, sealing has to be finished before term starts.
Questions to ask before you book
- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
- How the existing material will be dealt with
- How they’ll work around occupants
Surface by surface
External facade and movement joints
Brickwork, blockwork and panel movement joints need a sealant with the right movement capability. Depth is controlled with backing rod so the bead bonds to two sides only.
Internal decorators’ caulk
Acrylic caulk fills internal gaps around trims, boards and frames ahead of decorating. It’s for gaps that stay still and get painted.
Should maintenance staff do it?
The visible bead is only part of the job. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are where general trades tend to cut corners.
There’s also the paperwork. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
