From enquiry to sign-off
Occupied buildings need a little choreography. We sign and contain the area we’re in, with routes through the building left open and move on in phases so staff and visitors can carry on around us. Rural sites near Duncton may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Add it to your enquiry and we will build it into the plan.
- 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.
- Problems we find, such as oversized gaps, are raised right away.
- Final snagging is completed and the 12-month guarantee applies.
What we need from you
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Tell staff and tenants when we’ll be in
- Let us know about inductions and permits
Quotes
Send us photographs, drawings or a joint schedule and a fixed quote comes back to you. Where a site visit makes more sense, we’ll arrange one.

How we handle construction mastic in Duncton
A typical mastic package covers more than window perimeters: external door and window perimeters, internal decorators’ caulk where specified, sanitary joints in bathrooms and washrooms, kitchen worktops and splashbacks, and snagging before handover. One contractor for all of it keeps the responsibility in one place. Site teams most often ask us about a mastic package split between trades with no clear owner and perimeter gaps outside the sealant’s range, on cladding and panel joints, sanitary and kitchen joints and floor and skirting junctions. Most enquiries from Duncton start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
In the countryside around places like Duncton, conversion schemes put new frames into old stone, flint, brick or timber. Those joints need a sealant that suits an uneven, sometimes porous surface, and often a colour chosen for the building.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

Construction mastic around Duncton: what changes locally
Duncton 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. At about 45 miles from central London, Duncton is within reach of the capital. Commuter-belt towns tend to see a steady flow of new flats, offices and commercial schemes, so mastic packages have to keep pace with busy programmes.
On a healthcare site such as Midhurst Community Hospital, 5.4 miles north-west of Duncton, new blocks and refurbishments go on while the hospital keeps running, so mastic work is sequenced carefully. With historic properties like Bignor Roman Villa (to the south-east of Duncton) in the area, refurbishment work often meets old masonry that needs compatible sealants. School extensions, at buildings such as Duncton CofE Junior School, normally run to the summer holidays, mastic included.
Duncton is about 10 miles north-east of Chichester, in West Sussex. Across the GU28 postcode area, the process is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed. Duncton is one of 373 places we cover in West Sussex. We also cover Portsmouth, around 22 miles from Duncton.
Anyone looking for construction mastic in GU28 gets the same process as the rest of our area: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed.

Work for main contractors and building owners
As a CHAS accredited contractor and Constructionline member, we’re straightforward to vet for your supplier list. We are fully insured, and our insurance certificate can go with the quote.
Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor on new-build and refurbishment projects. Programme, specification and site rules come first, with CSCS-carded applicators on site.
How the quote is worked out
What shapes the price:
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- The size and state of each joint
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- How much existing material needs removing
The work involved drives the cost: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a fixed quote and we will explain how it’s made up.
Details that help us quote
A good diagnosis starts with the right details. Let us know:
- The site address and postcode
- The product your specification calls for
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so the cost is agreed before work starts. To ask for one, phone 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.

Duncton: questions and answers
Can you keep pace with our programme in Duncton?
Yes, we work to the programme and the sequence the site sets. Let us know which documents your site asks for, and we will confirm them alongside the quote.
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Midhurst Community Hospital, something you do?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Do you need to see the site first?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, drawings or a joint schedule. If the job needs a look first, we will arrange a visit before quoting.
Do you use the sealant named in the specification?
Specification first, then the maker’s instructions. Preparation, backing and depth follow the product guidance.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance.
Do you work in Duncton?
Yes. We cover Duncton and the rest of West Sussex, within our coverage of Greater London, South East England and Scotland. To discuss a job, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email us.
Is the mastic package guaranteed?
It’s backed by our 12-month guarantee. Protecting sealed areas from following trades helps avoid damage.
Leave it or put it right?
A quick bead over a damaged joint can get an area past inspection, but it rarely lasts. Sealant can’t grip a contaminated or existing bead and the defect reappears in the defects period. Damaged joints are removed and resealed from clean faces. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Duncton, rather than one at a time. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
What a job costs comes down to the quantity of joints, what has to come out first and how the joints are reached. Call for a quote once you have the details.
Why us?
- Old sealant cut out, never sealed over
- CSCS-carded applicators
- CHAS accredited contractor

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Some joints are best left to specialists: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. Getting these wrong normally costs more in the end than doing them right.
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
Different surfaces, different methods
Window and door perimeters
Frames sealed into the opening keep rain out of the reveal. They’re sealed with a low-modulus neutral-cure silicone or another product named in the specification and set the depth with backing where needed.
Kitchens and utility areas
On commercial kitchen fit-outs, hygienic sealants are often specified. We follow the specification and seal to a smooth, cleanable finish.
