Construction mastic across Arlington
Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
When to call us in Arlington
Most mastic snags on new buildings come from sequencing rather than product. If sealant goes in before the last trades are through, it gets knocked, painted over or contaminated, so they end up back on the snag list.
Most enquiries start with one or more of the following:
- A mastic package split between trades with no clear owner
- Bath and shower joints scraped during the final clean
- Window and door perimeters that won’t pass inspection
- External joints sealed in damp or cold conditions that are now failing
Older buildings in the area around Arlington, such as Michelham Priory (1.5 miles north-east of Arlington), need care when sealed: the product has to suit soft or historic materials.
Before you book anyone
- Who will actually carry out the work
- How the existing material will be dealt with
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
Construction mastic in Arlington
On a new build, the mastic package is one of the last trades through each area, which puts it right on the critical path. We work as a mastic subcontractor to main contractors and developers on schemes in Arlington, following the trades through the building as rooms and elevations become ready. If you are dealing with perimeter gaps outside the sealant’s range and mastic snags holding up handover, we can put it right. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Arlington first comes to us: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Conversions of older rural buildings near smaller places such as Arlington bring stone, flint, brick and timber up against new glazing. Those joints need a sealant that suits an uneven, sometimes porous surface, and often a colour chosen for the building.
We stand behind the joints we seal with a 12-month guarantee. That covers our preparation and application, and if something we did falls short, we return to it.

Work for main contractors and building owners
Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients book us directly too. The work is planned around how the building runs, so the building keeps working while we do.
Building owners and managing agents use us on everything from one building to a spread of sites around Arlington. One quote can cover more than one site, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.
From enquiry to sign-off
Occupied buildings need a little choreography. The work area is signed and kept contained, with routes through the building left open and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use. Smaller jobs around Arlington can be grouped with others nearby. You’ll have a fixed quote before work starts.
- We walk the site or review drawings to understand the package.
- A fixed quote sets out scope, products and phasing.
- Paperwork is agreed and applicators are inducted on site.
- Sealing follows the programme as areas are released.
- Any frame gaps or issues outside our scope are flagged to the site team.
- Final snagging is completed and the 12-month guarantee applies.
Before we start on site

Building and refurbishing in Arlington
Arlington is about 47 miles from central London. Building activity in the commuter belt runs from new flats near stations to business park refurbishments, so mastic packages have to keep pace with busy programmes. Arlington 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 the external programme keeps a little slack.
On a healthcare site such as Hellingly Hospital Railway, which lies north-east of Arlington, new blocks and refurbishments go on while the hospital keeps running, so mastic work is sequenced carefully. Recladding or extending a unit at a site like Berwick Court Farm Business Park, 2.2 miles south-west of Arlington, brings panel joints and frame perimeters into the programme.
Arlington is about 3 miles south-west of Hailsham, in East Sussex. Arlington sits inside our coverage and the rest of East Sussex, with the same fixed quotes and 12-month guarantee as everywhere else. Across East Sussex, 308 places are covered, Arlington among them.

In bathrooms and washrooms, an anti-mould sanitary silicone goes around every fitting. Joints are cleaned, sealed and tooled neatly and baths are loaded where appropriate before sealing.
Fire-rated sealant where specified
Fire-rated sealant forms part of some packages, installed to the product’s tested detail where it is specified. The design and sign-off of fire stopping sit with the designer, principal designer or fire engineer.

Questions we are asked in Arlington
Can you work at a site such as Berwick Court Farm Business Park, by Arlington?
Yes. We cover Arlington and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Berwick Court Farm Business Park. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Hellingly Hospital Railway, something you do?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
Is Arlington in your area?
Yes. We cover Arlington and the rest of East Sussex. To discuss a job, phone 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.
Do you take on multi-site work?
Yes. Multi-site work and planned programmes are a core part of the service, with each site phased to suit its occupants.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, including public liability cover.
What guarantee comes with a mastic package?
The work is guaranteed for 12 months on the workmanship. Protecting sealed areas from following trades helps avoid damage.
What do you charge?
That depends on the job: quantities, access, the product and any phasing. Call for a quote.
When to bring in a specialist
Paperwork matters too. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and we’ll confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
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.
What we can’t put right
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we are upfront when that’s the case. It won’t fix:
- Glazing units that are cracked or misted
- Frame gaps too wide for sealant, which the installer needs to correct
- Joints damaged after sign-off by following trades
Not sure which it is? You can call the office on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
