Leave it or put it right?
Refurbishments sometimes budget for new windows when the frames are sound and only the seal has failed. Sound frames often need only a new perimeter seal, which is a much smaller cost. If the frame is life-expired, we’ll tell you. Around Coneyhurst, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once. Send photographs of each area and we’ll quote for the lot.
The work involved drives the cost: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a fixed quote.

Construction mastic in Coneyhurst
On refurbishments, the mastic package usually includes cutting out old sealant as well as sealing new work. Old beads come out completely, as fresh silicone can’t grip old and the asbestos survey is checked first on older stock. New and existing joints then get the same preparation. Site teams most often ask us about cracks opening in caulked internal joints and new external sealant already peeling away, on internal decorators’ caulk, cladding and panel joints and sanitary and kitchen joints. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Coneyhurst tend to want the same three things: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
In the countryside around places like Coneyhurst, conversion schemes put new frames into old stone, flint, brick or timber. A product that grips an irregular face, with a colour that suits the building’s character, is typically what’s needed.
Work we carry out in West Sussex comes with a 12-month guarantee. If an installation problem shows up, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll arrange a return visit.

FAQs: Coneyhurst
Will you plan work around the academic year at somewhere like Brinsbury College?
Yes, holiday working periods are the norm on campus jobs. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and paperwork such as RAMS is confirmed with the quote.
Is Coneyhurst off your patch?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
What happens if old sealant might contain asbestos?
The duty to manage asbestos sits with the building’s dutyholder, so we’ll ask for the register before work on an older building. Work pauses if suspect material is found, until it has been tested.
What happens if the weather stops external sealing?
Outside, the joint has to be dry and the temperature within the product’s limits. Frosty or damp mornings can hold up external sealing.
How do you choose the sealant?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
Does the weather affect the work?
For external joints, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Inside work is seldom held up.
Do you need to see the site first?
Many jobs can be quoted from photographs, drawings or a joint schedule. If the job needs a look first, we will arrange a visit.
What sealant work can’t fix
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we’re upfront when that’s the case. These need a different solution:
- Rework caused by others damaging completed areas
- Oversized gaps that need packing or adjustment by others
- Glazing units that are cracked or misted
Not sure which it is? You can phone 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Brick and block movement joints
- Floor and skirting junctions
- Window and door perimeters
- Internal decorators’ caulk
- Cladding and panel joints
- Sanitary and kitchen joints
Should maintenance staff do it?
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. Where it goes wrong is preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.

Advice
Construction mastic in Coneyhurst: the local picture
Coneyhurst sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Winter mornings still bring frost and condensation on frames and panels, so external mastic is timed for workable conditions and agreed with the site manager. Coneyhurst lies roughly 37 miles out from central London. Towns within reach of London tend to keep building, from flats to offices and schools, so mastic packages have to keep pace with busy programmes.
With historic properties like Old Place Manor, 4.8 miles to the south-west of Coneyhurst, in the area, refurbishment work often meets old masonry that needs compatible sealants. School extensions, at buildings such as The Weald School, usually run to the summer holidays, mastic included. Projects at colleges like Brinsbury College (to the south-west of Coneyhurst) tend to run to term dates, so the mastic is planned tightly.
Coneyhurst is about 6 miles south-west of Horsham, in West Sussex. We cover commercial sites throughout Coneyhurst, whether it’s a single job or part of a planned programme. 373 places across West Sussex fall within our area, Coneyhurst among them. Sites around Brighton have their own page, roughly 18 miles from Coneyhurst.
Business premises anywhere in RH14 are within our area. We also cover Billingshurst (2 miles north-west), Five Oaks (3 miles north), Newpound Common (3 miles north-west), The Haven (4 miles north) and Slinfold (5 miles north). Nearby towns on our patch include Crawley (13 miles north-east), Horsham (6 miles north-east), Worthing (13 miles south), Haywards Heath (14 miles east), Burgess Hill (13 miles east) and Littlehampton (14 miles south).
Local landmarks in Coneyhurst
For rail, the closest station is Billingshurst station, roughly 1.2 miles north-west of the centre. A little further out are Christs Hospital School Museum (3.9 miles north-east). Green spaces nearby include Knepp Wildland.
Maintenance after handover
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Ask for joint and product checks before the package is urgent
- Don’t force external sealing on a damp or frosty day
- Don’t schedule sealing before decorators and flooring are done
- Record the products used in the O&M file
After we’ve 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.
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.
