About our construction mastic in Lickfold
The programme rarely stands still, so the mastic package has to flex with it. 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. Most enquiries involve frame perimeters left unsealed or poorly sealed and inconsistent sealant finishes from plot to plot, on sanitary and kitchen joints, floor and skirting junctions and brick and block movement joints. Most enquiries from Lickfold start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
Around smaller places like Lickfold, building work usually means conversions of farm buildings, a few new houses or an extension to a hall or school. Perimeters, facade joints and internal sealant all need doing properly, however small the scheme.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

Aftercare for building managers
After handover, a little attention goes a long way:
- Ask for joint and product checks before the package is urgent
- Keep product details for future maintenance
- Stick to the specified sealant rather than a generic substitute
- Keep scrapers and abrasive pads off new beads
Tell the builders’ clean team which areas have new sealant. Scrapers used on frames and worktops can nick or lift a new bead.
External joints sealed in poor weather are a common cause of early failure. Waiting for a dry joint and the right temperature is better than redoing work.
What we’re called out for in Lickfold
Swapping the specified sealant for a cheaper general-purpose product is a common cause of failure. A general-purpose silicone on a facade or a caulk in a wet area won’t perform like the specified product. We use what’s specified, and any substitute goes to you for acceptance.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- Snag items on joints that need redoing before handover
- Oversized or tapered gaps around new frames
- Failed sealant in an existing building being refurbished
- A mastic package split between trades with no clear owner
New units and refits on sites such as Hurstfold Industrial Estate, 1.2 miles to the north-west of Lickfold, need their panel and perimeter joints sealed to the specification.
Questions to ask before you book
- How they’ll work around occupants
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
- How long is the guarantee, and what does it include?
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
Lickfold: questions and answers
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Midhurst Community Hospital?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
Will you take on work at estates like Hurstfold Industrial Estate, close to Lickfold?
Yes. We cover Lickfold and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Hurstfold Industrial Estate. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Can you clear a mastic snag list before handover?
Yes. Damaged, missed or untidy joints are stripped and done again properly, working to your handover date.
What’s the quickest route to a quote?
There are four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. Step one needs little more than photos and a postcode.
Do you install fire-rated sealant as part of a package?
Where the specification calls for fire-rated or intumescent sealant around service penetrations or linear gaps, we install it to the manufacturer’s tested details. Fire-stopping design and sign-off sit with the designer and building control.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to, and any queries are raised before we start.
How long does a typical visit take?
That varies with the scale of the job, though a typical visit normally takes anything from a day of snagging to several weeks of plot-by-plot sealing on a phased scheme. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we will give you a timescale with the quote.

What sets the cost
These are the things that shape the price:
- How much there is to seal
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Distance, for remote addresses
The specified product makes a difference, and so does the preparation, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
Sending details for a quote
However big the job, the same details help:
- Any specification or named product
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- When you need the work done
Need a figure for a tender or a budget? Send the scope and any drawings, and we will return a fixed quote that you can work with. For a chat about it beforehand, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email us.
Facades, frames and programmes in Lickfold
Lickfold is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. Even so, frost and condensation on steel and glass are common on winter mornings, so the external programme keeps a little slack. Lickfold lies roughly 41 miles out from central London. Towns within reach of London tend to keep building, from flats to offices and schools, which keeps mastic packages in demand.
Older buildings in the area around Lickfold, such as Cowdray House, which lies south-west of Lickfold, need care when sealed: the product has to suit soft or historic materials. Extensions at sites like Midhurst Community Hospital (to the south-west of Lickfold) usually sit beside working departments, and the mastic follows strict access rules.

How the job changes by surface
Fire-rated sealant where specified
Not every penetration suits a sealant. Other products are used for some services and gaps so we’ll flag where the detail needs something different. Tell us what records you need and we’ll confirm with the quote.
Snagging before handover
Snags usually come from damage by following trades, missed joints or poor earlier work. We price snagging as part of the package or as a separate visit, depending on what suits the programme.
For managing agents and facilities managers
When you manage a building on behalf of an owner, you need clear quotes and clear reporting. We quote a fixed sum, confirm the scope and walk the finished work with you or your representative.
Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients book us directly too. The work is planned around how the building runs, so the building keeps working while we do.
