When to bring in a specialist
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
There’s also the paperwork. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and we’ll confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
About our construction mastic in Funtington
On refurbishments, the mastic package usually includes cutting out old sealant as well as sealing new work. Existing joints have to be stripped back to sound faces, because fresh sealant can’t key into cured silicone, 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 have caulk cracking where joints are moving more than expected and oversized or tapered gaps around new frames, we can help, on internal decorators’ caulk, cladding and panel joints and sanitary and kitchen joints alike. Searching for sealant specialists in Funtington? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005, with CSCS-carded applicators.
Construction in and around smaller places such as Funtington is often barn conversions, small groups of houses or extensions to halls and schools. Each still needs a proper mastic package: window perimeters, facade joints and internal sealant to the specification.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: 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 else we do in Funtington
After the work
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Plan external elevations with the weather in mind
- Get the mastic subcontractor involved early in the programme
- Brief following trades on areas that have been sealed
- Note which sealant went where at handover
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.
Snag items left to the last week put handover at risk. A planned close-out through each area as it completes keeps the list short and keeps handover on track.
Why deal with it now?
When a package runs over budget, downgrading the product is a common first thought. The saving is small next to the cost of callbacks and defects. We price the specified product and will tell you plainly where an alternative would or wouldn’t work. Around Funtington, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once. Send photographs of each area and we’ll quote for the lot.
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote, and you’ll have a fixed figure to work with.
What you get with us
- One number for every site we cover

Questions we’re asked in Funtington
Does your area include sites such as Hambrook Business Park, near Funtington?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Funtington, Hambrook Business Park among them, are all within reach. To start, just ring 01277 525 020 or email us with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Would you work within a site like Chichester Centre?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
What joints do you seal on a new build?
External and internal frame perimeters, caulking where it’s specified, sanitary silicone, kitchen joints and snagging before handover. We price to the specification and drawings.
Is Funtington in your area?
Yes. Sites across Funtington are covered.
Can you fit around our programme?
We seal plot by plot or floor by floor as areas are released. The sequence is settled with your site team and updated as the programme moves.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
It can, for external work. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Internal work is far less affected.
Can staff carry on working while you’re here?
Usually, yes. We phase the work so most of the building stays in use, with each area protected and signed.

Building and refurbishing in Funtington
At about 55 miles from central London, Funtington 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. Funtington sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Even so, frost and condensation on steel and glass are common on winter mornings, so we time external mastic for dry faces and agree it with the site team.
When a school such as Funtington Primary School is extended or refurbished, the mastic package is often squeezed into the holidays. With historic properties like West Dean House, 4.6 miles north-east of Funtington, in the area, refurbishment work often meets old masonry that needs compatible sealants. New units and refits on sites such as Hambrook Business Park, 0.8 miles south-west of Funtington, need their panel and perimeter joints sealed to the specification.
