Construction mastic for commercial buildings in East Ashling
Refurbishment work needs a slightly different approach from new build. Old beads come out completely, as fresh silicone can’t grip old, and on older buildings we ask for the asbestos survey before disturbing anything. After that, the joints are prepared and sealed to the specification. If you’re dealing with bath and shower joints scraped during the final clean and external joints sealed in damp or cold conditions that are now failing, we can help. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, the work in East Ashling is the same: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Around smaller places like East Ashling, building work normally means conversions of farm buildings, a few new houses or an extension to a hall or school. Each still needs a proper mastic package: window perimeters, facade joints and internal sealant to the specification.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we’re clear about what is covered before work starts.

Questions about East Ashling
Can you work at a site such as Polthooks Farm Industrial Estate., by East Ashling?
Yes. Our area takes in East Ashling and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Polthooks Farm Industrial Estate. Included. A few photos and the unit address let us price the work.
Is East Ashling too small for you to travel to?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Are you CHAS accredited?
Our applicators are CSCS-carded, and we hold CHAS accreditation and Constructionline membership. We confirm any paperwork you need with the quote.
Can you work to our specification?
We use the product the specification names. Any suggested alternative is put to you before anything changes.
How long does a job like this take?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. You’ll have an expected duration with the quote.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
The duty to manage asbestos sits with the building’s dutyholder, so for older buildings we ask for the asbestos register first. If anything suspect turns up, we stop until it’s tested.
Can you handle several sites?
Yes. We take on portfolio and planned maintenance work, planned site by site to suit how each building is used.

Building owners, agents and FMs in East Ashling
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
When you manage a building on behalf of an owner, clear figures and clear communication matter. You get a fixed quote, an agreed scope and a walk round at the end.
What sealant work can’t fix
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- Approving fire stopping as compliant
- Faulty frames rather than failed sealant
- Specifying the product where the designer hasn’t
Not sure which it is? You can give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Brick and block movement joints
- Floor and skirting junctions
- Internal decorators’ caulk
- Window and door perimeters
- Cladding and panel joints
- Sanitary and kitchen joints
Different surfaces, different methods
External facade and movement joints
Movement joints in the facade are sealed with a product suited to the expected movement. Depth is controlled with backing rod so the bead bonds to two sides only.
Internal decorators’ caulk
Where the specification calls for it, acrylic decorators’ caulk goes on non-moving internal gaps before painting. It’s for gaps that stay still and get painted, and we use a flexible sealant where there’s movement.
Sites and facades in and around East Ashling
The South East is one of the drier 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. At about 55 miles from central London, East Ashling is within reach of the capital. Construction around the commuter belt mixes station-side flats with refurbished offices and units, so mastic packages have to keep pace with busy programmes.
For contractors at a college like Chichester College, 2.8 miles south-east of East Ashling, perimeters and internal sealant are timed for the holidays. School extensions, at buildings such as Funtington Primary School, usually run to the summer holidays, mastic included. Extensions at sites like Nuffield Health Chichester Hospital, 2.7 miles to the east of East Ashling, usually sit beside working departments, and the mastic follows strict access rules.
East Ashling is about 3 miles north-west of Chichester, in West Sussex. Anywhere in PO18, the process is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed.

For a walk, there’s Stoke Down and Kingley Vale National Nature Reserve.
Keeping the joints sound
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Put any product change through the designer first
- Share drawings and the specification as soon as possible
- Record the products used in the O&M file
- Don’t schedule sealing before decorators and flooring are done
Record which products went where in the handover file. That helps the building owner maintain the joints later and avoids guesswork when joints are renewed. We can confirm the handover information you need when we quote.
In wet areas, a weak sanitary joint shows up quickly once the building is occupied. Water gets behind trays, vanity tops and panels, and the repair falls into the defects period. Proper preparation, with the right silicone first time, keeps it off the defects list.
