Questions about Birdham
Can you work around term dates at a campus such as University of Chichester?
Yes. Tell us the term dates, vacation periods and access windows, and we’ll plan the work around them. Tell us which site documents you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate or CSCS details, and they’re confirmed with the quote.
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like St Richard's Hospital?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Can you send site paperwork?
Let us know which documents the site needs, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we will confirm them with the quote.
Can the sealant be colour-matched?
It depends on the product. Some ranges offer many colours, others very few, so we’ll confirm the colours available for the specified product with the quote.
Do you use the sealant named in the specification?
We follow the specified sealant. Product standards such as BS EN 15651 are often named in specifications.
Do you take on mastic snagging only?
Yes. Damaged, missed or untidy joints are stripped and done again properly to suit the programme.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
Managing asbestos is the dutyholder’s responsibility, 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.
Construction mastic in Birdham, done properly
Site managers want applicators who turn up with the right cards and paperwork. We are a Constructionline member and CHAS accredited, and every applicator holds a CSCS card, with public liability insurance in place. RAMS, an insurance certificate and CSCS details can be confirmed with the quote if you tell us what you need. If you’re dealing with sanitary sealant damaged by following trades and new external sealant already peeling away, we can put it right, whatever the surface. Most enquiries from Birdham start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Construction in and around smaller places such as Birdham is often barn conversions, small groups of houses or extensions to halls and schools. Perimeters, facade joints and internal sealant all need doing properly, however small the scheme.
We stand by our work: 12 months, guaranteed. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant, and we come back if anything isn’t right.

When to bring in a specialist
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
The visible bead is only part of the job. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are easy to get wrong without experience.
What we can’t put right
A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. You’ll hear from us if the cause turns out to be any of the following:
- Joint design decisions that belong to the architect or engineer
- Faulty frames rather than failed sealant
- Frame gaps too wide for sealant, which the installer needs to correct
If you are not sure, just ring 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will give you a straight answer.
What we seal
- Floor and skirting junctions
- Window and door perimeters
- Sanitary and kitchen joints
- Cladding and panel joints
- Internal decorators’ caulk
- Brick and block movement joints
Signs you need construction mastic in Birdham
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.
Typical triggers for a call:
- Bath and shower joints scraped during the final clean
- Perimeter gaps outside the sealant’s range
- Old sealant on a refurbishment that needs stripping before new work
- Caulk cracking where joints are moving more than expected
Building work at universities like University of Chichester (4.4 miles north-east of Birdham) is often timed for the summer, mastic included.
Questions to ask before you book
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
- Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?

- Quantities, in metres or numbers
Cost follows what’s involved: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a quote and we’ll explain how it’s made up.

Advice
Facades, frames and programmes in Birdham
Birdham lies within about 2 miles of the sea. Coastal exposure means perimeter and cladding joints work harder than on an inland job, so we check the specified product suits the exposure before the first bead. Rainfall across the South East, Birdham included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Winter mornings still bring frost and condensation on frames and panels, which is why external dates are agreed with the site manager.
When a school such as Birdham CE Primary School is extended or refurbished, the mastic package is often squeezed into the holidays. For contractors refurbishing units at places like Enborne Business Park, 2.8 miles south-east of Birdham, the mastic covers cladding panels, roller-door and window perimeters.
