Sites and facades in and around East Wittering
With the shore within about 1 mile, East Wittering counts as a coastal location. Schemes this close to the sea see their facade joints tested by wind and rain from the day they’re sealed, so joint design, primers and product choice deserve extra care. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. That doesn’t stop wet spells, or frosty starts that leave panels too damp to seal, so the external programme keeps a little slack.
School extensions, at buildings such as East Wittering Community Primary School, usually run to the summer holidays, mastic included.

Construction mastic for commercial buildings in East Wittering
Buyers, tenants and clients notice sealant lines long before they notice the structure. Untidy or missed joints are among the commonest snag items. We seal so the snag list stays short, area by area through the programme. Site teams most often ask us about frame perimeters left unsealed or poorly sealed and sanitary sealant damaged by following trades, on window and door perimeters, floor and skirting junctions and cladding and panel joints. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, in East Wittering it comes down to the same thing: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Around places like East Wittering, a lot of construction is the conversion of older buildings, which leaves joints between old walls and new frames that need a sealant able to take the movement, in a colour the planners or architect are happy with.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work. If an installation problem shows up, phone 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll arrange a return visit.

Common questions from East Wittering clients
Does a coastal location like East Wittering affect which sealant is used?
It can. Wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt air are harder on external joints. That puts more weight on product choice, primers where the manufacturer specifies them, and correct joint sizing.
Is East Wittering off your patch?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance.
Do you do fire-rated sealing on new builds?
Where it’s specified, yes, working to the specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance. If the detail calls for collars, wraps or batts instead, we’ll tell you.
Can the sealant be colour-matched?
That depends on the product. Some ranges are wide, others limited, so we will confirm the colours available for the specified product with the quote.
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.
When is resealing likely to be due?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.

Why act early in East Wittering
Getting the mastic contractor involved early pays off. We can check joint widths, flag frames with gaps that won’t seal and confirm products against the specification, which avoids last-minute problems. Leave it late and they turn up on the snag list. A failed joint lets water into a building whatever its size. Catching it early means a reseal rather than repairs.
No two sites price the same: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.

Our process
A typical day starts with protection: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. On site, the work typically takes as long as the agreed sequence needs, which comes down to joint lengths, access and handover dates, and our waste is bagged and taken away as we go. Several jobs near East Wittering can be grouped on one trip. Mention the building’s opening times and we’ll work within them.
- Drawings, specification and programme come to us.
- Quantities are measured and a fixed price returned.
- The sequence is agreed with the site manager.
- Plots or floors are sealed as they’re handed over.
- Every joint is cleaned, set to depth and sealed with the specified product.
- Snags are cleared and the package signed off with our 12-month guarantee.
What we need from you
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Flag any permit to work we will need
- Make sure the joints can be reached

Advice
How the quote is worked out
What shapes the price:
- The size and state of each joint
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
The specified product makes a difference, and so does the preparation, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
Sending details for a quote
For an accurate fixed quote, we need a clear picture of the site. Send us:
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- Access details, including height
For a fixed quote, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email us, telling us the site location and the nature of the job. You can also send details through our quote form.
Common problems we fix in East Wittering
Frames installed with uneven gaps make perimeter sealing harder. Sealant has a range of joint widths it can cope with. Better to raise it at the start than seal a joint that’s bound to fail.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- Old sealant on a refurbishment that needs stripping before new work
- Frame perimeters left unsealed or poorly sealed
- Caulk cracking where joints are moving more than expected
- Mastic snags holding up handover
For contractors building in or near East Wittering, we seal to the drawings, the specification and the programme.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
- Their plan for phasing and protecting the area
- Their public liability cover
- Who will actually carry out the work
Doing it in-house
Redoing a failed joint usually costs more than getting it right at the outset, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
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
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Glazing units that are cracked or misted
- Damage to finishes by other trades after we’ve sealed
- Designing joint widths or choosing the specification (that sits with the designer)
If you are not sure, just phone 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Sanitary and kitchen joints
- Cladding and panel joints
- Internal decorators’ caulk
- Window and door perimeters
- Brick and block movement joints
