How we handle construction mastic in Felpham
Since 2005 we have worked alongside main contractors, developers and fit-out firms. We price from drawings and the specification, agree the sequence with the site team and seal as areas are released. For construction mastic on a scheme in Felpham, send drawings through our quote form, or phone or email us to talk it through. Site teams most often ask us about old sealant on a refurbishment that needs stripping before new work and missed perimeter joints on a new elevation, on cladding and panel joints, sanitary and kitchen joints and brick and block movement joints. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, in Felpham it comes down to the same thing: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Conversions around smaller places like Felpham often join new frames to old masonry or timber, and the sealant at those junctions has to cope with two materials that move differently.
We stand by our work with a 12-month guarantee. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant.

Construction mastic in Felpham: the local picture
Felpham is within about 1 mile of the coast. Facades and window perimeters on coastal schemes take more wind-driven rain, and salt air nearer the shore, so we check the specified product suits the exposure before the first bead. The area within 2 miles of Felpham holds plenty of hotels. Hotel extensions and refits usually have to fit around bookings, so mastic dates are tight.
Building work at universities like University of Chichester (Bognor Campus), under half a mile west of Felpham, is often timed for the summer, mastic included. Hospital estates such as Bognor Regis War Memorial Hospital, 0.9 miles west of Felpham, tend to grow and change in phases, often next to occupied wards, so facade and perimeter sealing has to fit the estates team’s plan.
Felpham is about 1 mile east of Bognor Regis, in West Sussex. We send applicators to Felpham for mastic packages. Felpham is one of 373 places in West Sussex on our list for mastic packages. There’s a separate page for Portsmouth, roughly 19 miles from Felpham.

Work for main contractors and building owners
CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, we are straightforward to vet for your supplier list. We are fully insured, and our insurance certificate can go with the quote.
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.
Our process
Inspect, seal, sign off: that’s the shape of every visit. We inspect the joints and confirm what’s in scope, then the work is carried out to the specified product and detail, and we finish with a walk round so the work can be signed off. Several jobs near Felpham can be grouped on one trip. Mention the building’s opening times and we will 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.
- Joints are prepared, backed and sealed to the specification.
- After snagging, the work is handed over under our 12-month guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Point out any areas we must not close
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work

Honest limits
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Frame gaps too wide for sealant, which the installer needs to correct
- Rework caused by others damaging completed areas
- Deciding which fire-stopping product a penetration needs
Not sure which it is? You can call 01277 525 020 or email us 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
- Sanitary and kitchen joints
- Cladding and panel joints
Looking after the joints
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Flag uneven or tapered frame gaps early
- Get the mastic subcontractor involved early in the programme
- Bring the mastic contractor in after the last trades are through
- Ask cleaners to use soft cloths around fresh sealant
If a joint is damaged after sealing, flag it early. Snags can be picked up in a planned close-out visit as agreed in the quote.
Leaving the mastic snag list to the end squeezes everyone. A planned close-out through each area as it completes keeps the list short and keeps handover on track.
Quoting for work in Felpham
What shapes the price:
- The total length or number of joints
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits.
Sending details for a quote
It doesn’t need to be a full survey. These details are enough to start:
- Your programme or deadline
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- The postcode of the building
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photographs and a few notes.
Your questions answered
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Bognor Regis War Memorial Hospital?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
Does a coastal location like Felpham affect which sealant is used?
It can. Coastal exposure works external joints harder than inland weather. We check the specified product suits the exposure and pay close attention to preparation.
What do you charge?
There isn’t a price list, as every site differs. With photographs or drawings, we can give you a fixed quote.
Will you quote for a small job?
We quote for single jobs as well as large packages and programmes. Photos and a description are enough to start.
How do you work with the site programme?
Our work is sequenced around the programme. Each plot, floor or elevation is sealed when it’s ready.
Which sealant will you use?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance, and any queries are raised before we start.
Signs you need construction mastic in Felpham
A joint without backing rod or bond-breaker often fails early. Bonded to the base of the joint and both sides, sealant can’t stretch evenly so we set the depth properly before sealing.
Most enquiries start with something like this:
- New external sealant already peeling away
- Perimeter gaps outside the sealant’s range
- Sanitary sealant damaged by following trades
- A mastic package split between trades with no clear owner
Hotels like Ocean Hotel (less than half a mile south-west of Felpham) rarely close for long, so refurbishment mastic is phased floor by floor.
