Construction mastic for commercial buildings in Hankham
Mastic follows everyone else, which means it absorbs every delay upstream. We agree a sequence at the start and adjust it as the site manager releases areas and we don’t seal before other trades have finished in an area. Sealing too early only means coming back once others have damaged it. If you have window and door perimeters that won’t pass inspection and frame gaps too wide for sealant alone, we can put it right, whatever the surface. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Hankham first comes to us: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
For a site near Hankham, the mastic visit is planned so the right sealants, primers and backing rod are on hand. Send drawings or photos and the programme and we will quote to suit.
Every job is signed off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

Sites and facades in and around Hankham
The sea is no more than about 3 miles from Hankham. Coastal exposure means perimeter and cladding joints work harder than on an inland job, which puts weight on correct joint sizing, priming and a sealant suited to the exposure. Hankham has a number of hotels close by, all within 2 miles. Hotel refurbishments often run to tight programmes between busy periods, and perimeter and sanitary sealant has to keep up.
For contractors on a campus like University of Brighton Eastbourne Campus, which lies south of Hankham, facade and perimeter sealing has to fit around students and term dates. New units and refits on sites such as Langsett Industrial Estate, 0.6 miles south-east of Hankham, need their panel and perimeter joints sealed to the specification. When a college such as East Sussex College Eastbourne (to the south-west of Hankham) builds or refurbishes, the mastic package normally has to fit around students and staff.

Landmarks near Hankham
Around Hankham, our work takes us to commercial buildings near The Red Lion pub and Causeway School and the streets around them. The closest station to Hankham is Pevensey & Westham station, about 1.4 miles south-east of the centre. Well-known places in the area include Eastbourne District General Hospital (2.9 miles south-west) and Pevensey Castle (1.7 miles east). Not far away are Combe Hill.
Aftercare for building managers
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Stick to the specified sealant rather than a generic substitute
- Check frame gaps are within the sealant’s range before sealing
- Keep scrapers and abrasive pads off new beads
- Bring the mastic contractor in after the last trades are through
If a joint is damaged after sealing, flag it early. We can return to clear snags before handover.
Sealing outside when the joint is damp or too cold leads to poor adhesion. Holding off until conditions suit avoids callbacks, so we plan external work with that in mind.
Common questions from Hankham clients
Will you take on work at estates like Langsett Industrial Estate, close to Hankham?
Yes. Our area takes in Hankham and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Langsett Industrial Estate included. A few photos and the unit address let us price the work.
Would you work within a site like Eastbourne District General Hospital?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Can staff carry on working while you are here?
Yes, as long as we plan it. We agree a sequence with your contact so just one area at a time is disrupted.
Are you CHAS accredited?
Our applicators hold CSCS cards, and we are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member. Public liability insurance of five million pounds is in place too.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
For external joints, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Internal work is rarely affected.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
Some older mastics, especially in pre-2000 buildings, can contain asbestos. We check the asbestos register before cutting out old sealant in an older building, and if asbestos is suspected, work stops until it’s tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
What hours do you work?
Give us your site hours and any access windows in your enquiry, and we’ll plan around them. Our office runs Monday to Friday, 8am until 5pm.

Different surfaces, different methods
Bathrooms, en suites and washrooms
Across a block of flats or a hotel, sanitary sealing is repeated in every room. One applicator team gives the same finish everywhere, plot by plot or floor by floor.
Snagging before handover
Snagging is often the final mastic stage. We can work through the snag list area by area, cutting out damaged joints and resealing them properly.
When to bring in a specialist
Certain joints really need a specialist: for instance fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong normally costs more in the end than doing them right.
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are easy to get wrong without experience.
Why act early in Hankham
A cheaper sealant can look like an easy saving on a large package. A failed joint in the defects period costs far more than the product difference, especially externally. We price the specified product and will tell you plainly where an alternative would or wouldn’t work. Older rural buildings around Hankham move with the seasons, and rigid or tired sealant can’t keep up. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.
Every site prices differently: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.
Why us?
- Old sealant cut out, never sealed over
- 12 months’ guarantee on every job
- Colours confirmed for the specified product
- Clear, fixed quotes

How a job runs
When we get to site, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before anything is cut or cleaned, and the work normally takes as long as the agreed sequence needs, which comes down to joint lengths, access and handover dates. For work around Hankham, we aim to finish in one visit, so photos and measurements up front really help. That way the right products come on the day.
- We start with the drawings, specification and programme.
- We take off quantities and return a fixed quote.
- 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.
- After snagging, the work is handed over under our 12-month guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Agree which areas must stay open
