Photos, a specification or a quick description of the joints is enough to start a fixed quote.
Aftercare for building managers
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Pass these on to them:
- Ask for joint and product checks before the package is urgent
- Release areas for mastic once other trades have finished in them
- Don’t force external sealing on a damp or frosty day
- Put any product change through the designer first
Tell the builders’ clean team which areas have new sealant. Blades and abrasive pads are the commonest cause of damage at the final clean, so stick to soft cloths and gentle cleaners near sealant.
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.
Construction mastic in Icklesham, done properly
External mastic depends on the weather in a way most internal trades don’t. Cold or damp mornings, frost and condensation on frames can all hold external sealing up. Internal sealing often fills those days. We work on window and door perimeters, sanitary and kitchen joints and floor and skirting junctions, and the failures we are asked to look at most are oversized or tapered gaps around new frames and missed perimeter joints on a new elevation. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, the work in Icklesham is the same: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Construction in and around smaller places such as Icklesham 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.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and the quote explains what it covers.

How a job runs
Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. The work itself usually takes a day or two on a small fit-out and several weeks on a large multi-storey package, and our waste is bagged and taken away as we go. For work around Icklesham, we aim to finish in one visit, so we ask for photographs and rough sizes first. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- We start with the drawings, specification and programme.
- 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.
- Every joint is cleaned, set to depth and sealed with the specified product.
- Snags are cleared and the package signed off with our 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
- Tell staff and tenants when we’ll be in

Sites and facades in and around Icklesham
With the shore within about 3 miles, Icklesham counts as a coastal location. Facades and window perimeters on coastal schemes take more wind-driven rain, and salt air nearer the shore, and the sealant, primer and backing need choosing with that in mind. Rainfall across the South East, Icklesham included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. That doesn’t stop wet spells, or frosty starts that leave panels too damp to seal, so we time external mastic for dry faces and agree it with the site team.
Hospital estates such as Conquest Hospital (4.8 miles south-west of Icklesham) 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. With historic properties like Lamb House, 3.7 miles to the north-east of Icklesham, in the area, refurbishment work often meets old masonry that needs compatible sealants. For contractors at a school such as Icklesham Church of England Primary School, sealing has to be finished before term starts.
Icklesham is about 6 miles north-east of Hastings, in East Sussex. Across the TN36 postcode area, it works the same way: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed. We work across 308 places in East Sussex. For work in that direction, see our Brighton page.

What else we do in Icklesham
FAQs: Icklesham
Is Icklesham too small for you to travel to?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Our building in Icklesham is near the coast: does that change the sealant?
It can, yes: buildings near the sea take more wind-driven rain, and salt in the air nearer the shore. We choose the product for the exposure, prime where the manufacturer requires it and size the joint for its movement.
Is colour matching possible?
In many cases, yes. Sealants are made in a wide range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or nearby finishes is commonly requested. We confirm what’s available for the specified product when we quote.
What site paperwork can you supply?
Requirements differ from site to site, so list what you need, whether RAMS, insurance or CSCS details, and we will confirm with the quote.
What hours do you work?
The office is staffed Monday to Friday, from 8am until 5pm. Let us know your site hours and access windows, and the work will be planned around them.
What happens if the weather stops external sealing?
External sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range. Frosty or damp mornings can hold up external sealing, so internal areas are often done on those days.
Will you stick to the specified products?
Specification first, then the maker’s instructions. Preparation, backing and depth follow the product guidance.
Leave it or put it right?
Getting the mastic contractor involved early pays off. Early involvement means gaps, products and access are sorted before the programme bites, which avoids last-minute problems. Called in at the end, the same issues surface during handover. Halls, stores and units around places like Icklesham may not be checked every day, so a failed joint can leak for a while before anyone sees it. Renewing joints in good time avoids the problem.
The specified product makes a difference, as does the preparation each joint needs. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
Why appoint us
- RAL and finish matching where the product range allows
- Colour options checked against the specified product
- Health and safety: CHAS accredited
- Old sealant cut out, never sealed over

How the job changes by surface
External facade and movement joints
Many facade substrates need a primer before sealing. Primer goes on where the sealant maker calls for it and work only when conditions suit.
Window and door perimeters
Frames sealed into the opening keep rain out of the reveal. They’re sealed with a low-modulus neutral-cure silicone or another product named in the specification and set the depth with backing where needed.
When it isn’t the sealant
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. It won’t fix:
- Approving fire stopping as compliant
- Glazing units that are cracked or misted
- Designing joint widths or choosing the specification (that sits with the designer)
If you are not sure, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email us and we will give you a straight answer.
