Looking after the joints
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Share these points with them:
- Brief the final clean team to avoid blades near sealant
- Use the product the specification names
- Protect sealed areas from following trades
- Check frame gaps are within the sealant’s range before sealing
After we have sealed an area, it helps to keep other trades from damaging the joints. Fresh sealant needs its cure time before it’s cleaned, painted near or knocked, and that time depends on the product, temperature and joint depth.
Snag items left to the last week put handover at risk. A planned close-out through each area as it completes keeps the list short, and avoids a rush.
Construction mastic for commercial buildings in Apuldram
Since 2005 we’ve worked alongside main contractors, developers and fit-out firms. We price from drawings and the specification, agree the sequence with the site team and seal as areas are released. For construction mastic on a scheme in Apuldram, send drawings through our quote form, or phone or email us to talk it through. Most enquiries involve caulk cracking where joints are moving more than expected and a mastic package split between trades with no clear owner, on internal decorators’ caulk, window and door perimeters and brick and block movement joints. Whoever orders the work in Apuldram, the brief is typically the same: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Around smaller places like Apuldram, building work usually means conversions of farm buildings, a few new houses or an extension to a hall or school. Each still needs a proper mastic package: window perimeters, facade joints and internal sealant to the specification.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work. If an installation problem shows up, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll arrange a return visit.

Why act early in Apuldram
Getting the mastic contractor involved early pays off. Early involvement means gaps, products and access are sorted before the programme bites. Called in at the end, the same issues surface during handover. Older rural buildings around Apuldram move with the seasons, and rigid or tired sealant can’t keep up. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.
Pricing mastic packages depends on how many there are, their condition and the access. Ask us for a fixed quote.

What else we do in Apuldram
How the quote is worked out
Your fixed quote is built from the real scope. It takes account of:
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- The size and state of each joint
- Any access equipment needed
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote, and you will have a fixed figure to work with.
What we need to price the job
Diagnosis starts before we arrive. Let us know:
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- Specification clauses that apply
- The site address and postcode
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we’ll price against exactly what is specified. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photos and a few notes.
What sealant work can’t fix
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. It won’t fix:
- Joint design decisions that belong to the architect or engineer
- Joints damaged after sign-off by following trades
- Oversized gaps that need packing or adjustment by others
If in doubt, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll say what we think.
What we seal
- Brick and block movement joints
- Cladding and panel joints
- Window and door perimeters
- Floor and skirting junctions
- Sanitary and kitchen joints
- Internal decorators’ caulk
Apuldram: questions and answers
Can work at a site such as University of Chichester fit around teaching?

Can you work at a site such as Terminus Industrial Estate, by Apuldram?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Apuldram, Terminus Industrial Estate among them, are all within reach. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Are you CHAS accredited?
Our applicators hold CSCS cards, and we are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member. We are also fully insured, with five million pounds of public liability cover.
Do you take on multi-site work?
Yes. Several buildings can share a single quote, with one point of contact.
Will you stick to the specified products?
We work to the specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance. Primers, backing and joint depth follow what the manufacturer sets out.
Can fire-rated sealing at service penetrations be included?
Where it’s specified, yes, working to the specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance. If the detail calls for collars, wraps or batts instead, we will tell you.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.

Advice
Construction mastic in Apuldram: the local picture
Apuldram lies within about 3 miles of the sea. Coastal exposure means perimeter and cladding joints work harder than on an inland job, so joint design, primers and product choice deserve extra care. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Still, external mastic needs dry faces within the maker’s temperature limits, which isn’t every day, which is why external dates are agreed with the site manager.
University estates such as University of Chichester (2.1 miles north-east of Apuldram) tend to have a rolling programme of new buildings and refurbishments, each with window perimeters and facade joints to seal. Further education sites such as Chichester College, 1.1 miles north-east of Apuldram, are extended and refurbished from time to time, with mastic often programmed into the summer break.

Do you need construction mastic in Apuldram?
A joint without backing rod or bond-breaker often fails early. Bonded to the base of the joint and both sides, sealant can’t stretch evenly so we set the depth properly before sealing.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Cracks opening in caulked internal joints
- Perimeter gaps outside the sealant’s range
- Failed sealant in an existing building being refurbished
- Bath and shower joints scraped during the final clean
New units and refits on sites such as Terminus Industrial Estate (to the north-east of Apuldram) need their panel and perimeter joints sealed to the specification.
Questions to ask before you book
- How they handle RAMS and site documents
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
