Construction mastic in Heyshott Green, done properly
Refurbishment work needs a slightly different approach from new build. 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 inconsistent sealant finishes from plot to plot and existing joints on a refurb that need cutting out and resealing, we can put it right. Whoever orders the work in Heyshott Green, the brief is typically the same: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Conversions of older rural buildings near smaller places such as Heyshott Green bring stone, flint, brick and timber up against new glazing. A product that grips an irregular face, with a colour that suits the building’s character, is usually what’s needed.
We stand by our work: 12 months, guaranteed. That covers our preparation and application, and if something we did falls short, we return to it.

Looking after the joints
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. Our advice:
- Allow flexibility for external sealing in damp or cold weather
- Put any product change through the designer first
- Ask cleaners to use soft cloths around fresh sealant
- Protect sealed areas from following trades
Any damage after we have finished should go on the snag list straight away. We can return to clear snags before handover, priced as part of the package or separately.
One unsealed frame can let water into finished internal areas. On a new building that means remedial work after decorating. Checking perimeters before internal finishes go on avoids it.
Quoting for work in Heyshott Green
The price varies from site to site. It mainly depends on:
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Which sealant the job calls for
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits, along with the time of year for external work.
Details that help us quote
However big the job, the same details help:
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available

When it isn’t the sealant
Honesty saves time and money. New sealant won’t cure:
- Designing joint widths or choosing the specification (that sits with the designer)
- Fire-stopping design or sign-off (that’s for the designer, fire engineer and building control)
- Oversized gaps that need packing or adjustment by others
If you are not sure, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Sites and facades in and around Heyshott Green
There are several hotels within about 2 miles of Heyshott Green. Hotel schemes tend to have fixed reopening dates, so the mastic is programmed tightly with the other trades. 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.
With historic properties like Cowdray House (to the north of Heyshott Green) in the area, refurbishment work often meets old masonry that needs compatible sealants. New wings at hospitals like Midhurst Community Hospital, 2.3 miles north of Heyshott Green, bring long runs of window and panel joints to seal. Projects at schools like Midhurst Rother College work to term dates, so mastic is programmed tightly.

Why deal with it now?
Getting the mastic contractor involved early pays off. Early involvement means gaps, products and access are sorted before the programme bites rather than at the snagging stage. Leave it late and they turn up on the snag list. Around Heyshott Green, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once. Send photos of each area and we’ll quote for the lot.
Every site prices differently: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.

Heyshott Green: questions and answers
Is Heyshott Green too far out for you?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Midhurst Community Hospital?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Will you come and look before quoting?
That depends on the size and complexity of the job. Straightforward work can often be priced from photos and measurements, and bigger or more complex jobs normally get a visit.
How many days will you need on site?
It depends on the scope, though a typical visit usually takes whatever the programme allows, since the work follows the trades as areas are released. For bigger or phased jobs, we will set out a timescale with the quote.
Can the building stay open while you work?
Usually, yes. Phased work can be planned so areas stay in use, with each area protected and signed.
Is the mastic package guaranteed?
Each package is signed off with a 12-month workmanship guarantee. The guarantee covers our work, not later damage by other trades.
Can you send site paperwork?
Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote.
General trades versus a specialist
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class, which is what makes a joint last.
Redoing a failed joint normally 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.
