Common questions from Faygate clients
Will you take on work at estates like Holmbush Potteries Industrial Estate, close to Faygate?
Yes. We cover Faygate and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Holmbush Potteries Industrial Estate. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Crawley Hospital?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
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.
What happens if the weather stops external sealing?
External mastic depends on conditions: each sealant has a temperature range, and the joint must be dry. External work is sequenced with some flexibility.
Can you clear a mastic snag list before handover?
Yes. Damaged, missed or untidy joints are stripped and done again properly, working to your handover date.
Do you install fire-rated sealant as part of a package?
Fire-rated sealing at service penetrations and linear gaps can be included where specified. Tell us what records you need and we’ll confirm with the quote.
When is resealing likely to be due?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
How we handle construction mastic in Faygate
The specification and the programme set the job. If a product is named, that’s what goes in. Joint widths, backing, primers and tooling follow the manufacturer’s guidance, so the joints perform as the designer intended. We work on sanitary and kitchen joints, window and door perimeters and brick and block movement joints, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are perimeter gaps outside the sealant’s range and mastic snags holding up handover. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Faygate from the first photos to the final walk-round, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
Sites around smaller places like Faygate can be a fair drive from suppliers, so we come with everything the package needs. Drawings, photos and the programme let us give a fixed quote.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

What sets the cost
Your fixed quote is built from the real scope. It allows for:
- The total length or number of joints
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- Location, for remote and island sites
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.
Sending details for a quote
It doesn’t need to be a full survey. These details are enough to start:
- The site address and postcode
- When you need the work done
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
Tell us about the building, the joints and when you need the work done, and a fixed quote will follow. The easiest way is to speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.
Looking after the joints
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Bring the mastic contractor in after the last trades are through
- Protect sealed areas from following trades
- Ask for joint and product checks before the package is urgent
- Ask installers to correct oversized gaps first
After we have 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; we confirm the time for each product.
Leaving the mastic snag list to the end squeezes everyone. Clearing snags area by area spreads the work out and keeps handover on track.
When to bring in a specialist
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint, which is what makes a joint last.
Paperwork matters too. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we’ll confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
How the job changes by surface
Fire-rated sealant where specified
Fire-rated sealant is one type of fire-stopping product. Other products are used for some services and gaps so we will flag where the detail needs something different. Record requirements are agreed with the quote.
Window and door perimeters
Perimeter joints between frames and the structure are the weather line on any new building. They’re sealed with a low-modulus neutral-cure silicone or another product named in the specification, with backing rod in deeper gaps.
Facades, frames and programmes in Faygate
Central London is about 29 miles from Faygate. Construction around the commuter belt mixes station-side flats with refurbished offices and units, and main contractors there need mastic that keeps to the programme. Faygate 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 the external programme keeps a little slack.
New wings at hospitals like Crawley Hospital, 3.2 miles north-east of Faygate, bring long runs of window and panel joints to seal. When units on a site such as Holmbush Potteries Industrial Estate (1 mile east of Faygate) are refurbished or reclad, the panel joints and window perimeters are part of the mastic package.
Faygate is about 3 miles north-east of Horsham, in West Sussex. If you’re looking for construction mastic in Faygate, we can help, as we do across West Sussex. We work across 373 places in West Sussex, large and small. Sites around Brighton have their own page, roughly 19 miles from Faygate.

When to call us in Faygate
On construction sites, joints typically fail early because of when they were sealed, not what was used. Sealing before decorators, flooring or other trades have finished leaves joints exposed to damage, and the joint has to be redone.
Look out for the following:
- Bath and shower joints scraped during the final clean
- Perimeter gaps outside the sealant’s range
- New external sealant already peeling away
- Snag items on joints that need redoing before handover
Projects at schools like Holy Trinity CofE Secondary School work to term dates, so mastic is programmed tightly.
