Construction mastic for commercial buildings in Lidsey
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, so applicators arrive when areas are genuinely ready. That keeps the work right first time and saves rework. Most enquiries involve sealant knocked or painted over by other trades and caulk cracking where joints are moving more than expected, on cladding and panel joints, window and door perimeters and sanitary and kitchen joints. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in Lidsey, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
In the countryside around places like Lidsey, conversion schemes put new frames into old stone, flint, brick or timber. Those joints need a sealant that suits an uneven, sometimes porous surface, and often a colour chosen for the building.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we’re clear about what is covered before work starts.

What the job involves on each 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 seal only with a dry joint inside the product’s temperature range.
Kitchens and utility areas
Commercial kitchens often need hygienic or food-safe sealants. Joints are sealed smooth so they’re easy to clean.
For managing agents and facilities managers
Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients come to us directly as well. The work is planned around how the building runs, so the building keeps working while we do.
Facilities managers want contractors who arrive with the paperwork sorted. Tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we will confirm with the quote.
Lidsey: questions and answers
Is a smaller place like Lidsey outside your area?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We work across Greater London and the South East. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Could you schedule work at a campus like University of Chichester (Bognor Campus) for the vacation?
Yes. Education sites normally want the work in vacations or in phases during term, and we plan to suit. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and paperwork such as RAMS is confirmed with the quote.
Do you take on multi-site work?
Yes. We take on portfolio and planned maintenance work, planned site by site to suit how each building is used.
How long does a job like this take?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. You will have an expected duration with the quote.
What guarantee comes with a mastic package?
Our workmanship carries a 12-month guarantee from sign-off. The guarantee covers our work, not later damage by other trades.
What hours do you work?
Mention the site’s hours and access windows in your enquiry, and we will plan around them. Our office runs Monday to Friday, 8am until 5pm.
How do you work with the site programme?
Working to your programme, we seal each area as it’s handed over. The sequence is agreed with the site manager at the start and updated as the programme moves.
When something else is needed
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we are upfront when that’s the case. It won’t fix:
- 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
- Joints damaged after sign-off by following trades
If in doubt, call 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we seal
- Sanitary and kitchen joints
- Floor and skirting junctions
- Internal decorators’ caulk
- Cladding and panel joints
- Window and door perimeters
- Brick and block movement joints
Building and refurbishing in Lidsey
Lidsey lies within about 3 miles of the sea. Schemes this close to the sea see their facade joints tested by wind and rain from the day they’re sealed, so we check the specified product suits the exposure before the first bead. Lidsey is about 53 miles from central London. Towns within reach of London tend to keep building, from flats to offices and schools, which keeps mastic packages in demand.
On a campus such as University of Chichester (Bognor Campus) (2.1 miles south of Lidsey), new teaching buildings and residences are typically built and refurbished around the academic year. When a school such as Aldingbourne Primary School is extended or refurbished, the mastic package is often squeezed into the holidays. Older buildings in the area around Lidsey, such as Goodwood House, 4.9 miles to the north-west of Lidsey, need care when sealed: the product has to suit soft or historic materials.
Lidsey is about 2 miles north-east of Bognor Regis, in West Sussex. Businesses, contractors and managing agents in Lidsey use us for work on mastic packages. 373 places across West Sussex fall within our area, including Lidsey. Sites around Portsmouth have their own page, about 18 miles away.
We take on mastic packages across the PO22 postcode area, whatever the building. For a building on Lidsey Road and Sack Lane or nearby, send details and we’ll quote for mastic packages. Just outside Lidsey, we also work in Shripney (1 mile south-west), Westergate (1 mile north), Eastergate (1 mile north), West Barnham (1 mile north-east) and Barnham (1 mile north-east). A short drive away, we cover Worthing (12 miles east), Chichester (5 miles west), Selsey (8 miles south-west), Littlehampton (6 miles east), Lancing (15 miles east) and Rustington (7 miles east).

Our process
Working in a building that stays open takes some planning. The work area is signed and kept contained, with routes through the building left open and move on in phases so staff and visitors can carry on around us. If others near Lidsey need work, visits can be combined. You will have a fixed quote before work starts.
- We start with the drawings, specification and programme.
- Quantities are measured and a fixed price returned.
- The sequence is agreed with the site manager.
- Each area is sealed when it’s released.
- Joints are prepared, backed and sealed to the specification.
- Snags are cleared and the package signed off with our 12-month guarantee.
Getting the site ready
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
Getting a fixed quote
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we will price against exactly what is specified. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photographs and a few notes.

Doing it in-house
Certain joints really need a specialist: for example 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.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. The usual problems come from preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.

After the work
Once the work is signed off, these steps help:
- Put any product change through the designer first
- Don’t schedule sealing before decorators and flooring are done
- Check frame gaps are within the sealant’s range before sealing
- Brief following trades on areas that have been sealed
Any damage after we’ve finished should go on the snag list right away. Snags can be picked up in a planned close-out visit.
In wet areas, a weak sanitary joint shows up quickly once the building is occupied. Water gets behind trays, vanity tops and panels, and the repair falls into the defects period. Getting the product and preparation right first time avoids that.
