About construction mastic in Brighton and Hove
Perimeter sealing outside needs a dry joint and the right temperature. Cold or damp mornings, frost and condensation on frames can all hold external sealing up so it helps to sequence elevations with some flexibility. Internal areas can usually carry on while the outside waits. We work on sanitary and kitchen joints, internal decorators’ caulk and window and door perimeters, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are cracks opening in caulked internal joints and snag items on joints that need redoing before handover.
On arrival, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before any cutting starts, and the work typically takes a few days on a modest refurbishment and longer on multi-plot or multi-storey schemes.
- Drawings, the sealant specification and your programme come to us for pricing.
- A fixed quote sets out the scope, the products and the sequence.
- You tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we confirm it with the quote.
- Areas are sealed plot by plot or floor by floor as the trades hand them over.
- Every joint is prepared, set to depth and sealed with the specified product.
- We close out snagging and hand over with a 12-month guarantee.

Building work around Brighton and Hove
From Brighton, Hove and Carlton Hill to smaller places across Brighton and Hove, main contractors and developers need mastic packages for new build and refurbishment. We seal perimeters, facade joints and internal sealant to the specification, on programme.
The South East has large numbers of business parks and industrial estates, especially around the motorway corridors, and Brighton and Hove is part of the area we cover. In the parts of Brighton and Hove near the sea, the elevations facing the weather are where sealant gives up first.
Brighton: Recladding or extending a unit at a site like Centenary Industrial Estate, less than half a mile to the north of Brighton, brings panel joints and frame perimeters into the programme. Hotel extensions and refits, at places such as Part Of The Greenwood Lodge Hotel (0.6 miles south-west of Brighton), usually run between busy periods, so the sealing is squeezed into short windows.
How the job changes by surface
Internal decorators’ caulk
Caulk is easy to apply badly. A neat, consistent caulk line makes the decorators’ job quicker.
Kitchens and utility areas
Worktop upstands, sinks and splashbacks are sealed once the kitchen is fitted. The sealant is a kitchen-grade product.
What we’re called out for in Brighton and Hove
Wide, tapered or inconsistent gaps around frames are a common problem. Every product has limits on how wide a joint it can bridge, so gaps outside that range need sorting by the installer first. Better to raise it at the start than seal a joint that’s bound to fail.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- Mastic snags holding up handover
- Failed sealant in an existing building being refurbished
- Sealant knocked or painted over by other trades
- Early adhesion failures on new external joints
Why act early?
Leaving mastic to whichever trade is fitting the element can look cheaper on paper. The result tends to be uneven finishes and arguments about who should seal what. A single mastic package gives one point of responsibility, with the same standard on every plot.

For managing agents and facilities managers
As a CHAS accredited contractor and Constructionline member, we make supplier vetting simple. Our insurance certificate can be sent along with the quote.
For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor on new-build and refurbishment projects. We work to your programme, your specification and your site rules.
When to bring in a specialist
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but larger jobs are different: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
Redoing a failed joint typically costs more than getting it right at the outset, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
Questions about Brighton and Hove
Can fire-rated sealing at service penetrations be included?
Where the specification calls for fire-rated or intumescent sealant around service penetrations or linear gaps, we install it to the manufacturer’s tested details. Fire-stopping design and sign-off sit with the designer and building control.
Can staff carry on working while you’re here?
In most cases, yes. Phased work can be planned so areas stay in use, with each area protected and signed.
Do you take on small jobs?
Single areas, one-off repairs and whole buildings are all quoted the same way: details, then a fixed price, then sealing, then a 12-month guarantee.
How long do sealant joints last?
There isn’t a single answer, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
Do you do internal caulk as well as external mastic?
External and internal frame perimeters, caulking where it’s specified, sanitary silicone, kitchen joints and snagging before handover. We price to the specification and drawings.
How many days will you need on site?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. We’ll give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
The duty to manage asbestos sits with the building’s dutyholder, so we will ask for the register before work on an older building. Work pauses if suspect material is found, until it has been tested.
