Your questions answered
Can being near the sea in Lunsford's Cross affect the sealant we need?
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.
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Bexhill Hospital?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
Outside, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Internal work is rarely affected.
What about RAMS and site documents?
Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote.
Do you take on mastic snagging only?
Yes. We clear snags by redoing joints rather than patching them to suit the programme.
How do I request a quote?
You can use the quote form on this site; alternatively, ring 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form. Photos, drawings or a joint schedule help us quote quickly.
Do you take on small jobs?
Whatever the size, the process is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed.
Construction mastic in Lunsford's Cross
On refurbishments, the mastic package normally includes cutting out old sealant as well as sealing new work. 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. Site teams most often ask us about failed sealant in an existing building being refurbished and caulk cracking where joints are moving more than expected, on sanitary and kitchen joints, internal decorators’ caulk and brick and block movement joints. For commercial sealant work in Lunsford's Cross, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, whether it’s one building or several.
Construction in and around smaller places such as Lunsford's Cross 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.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

From enquiry to sign-off
Our CSCS-carded applicators arrive with the sealants, primers and backing rod the job calls for. Any old material is cut back to clean, sound faces, the manufacturer’s primer is applied where it’s called for, and the sealant is tooled off neatly. Jobs in and around smaller places like Lunsford's Cross are typically planned as a single visit, so we ask for photographs and rough sizes first. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- First we take quantities off the drawings and read through the specification.
- We return a fixed quote that ties the mastic package to your programme.
- You tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we confirm it with the quote.
- We seal each plot or floor as it’s released to us.
- Joints are cleaned, primed where the maker requires it, backed and sealed to the specification.
- We close out snagging and hand over with a 12-month guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
Getting a fixed quote
Tell us about the building, the joints and when you need the work done, and a fixed quote will follow. The easiest way is to call the office on 01277 525 020 or email us.
Advice
Maintenance after handover
After handover, these steps help:
- Don’t schedule sealing before decorators and flooring are done
- Brief following trades on areas that have been sealed
- Check frame gaps are within the sealant’s range before sealing
- Ask for joint and product checks before the package is urgent
A new structure shifts as it loses construction moisture. The right product in each joint copes with that, but caulk in a joint that moves more than expected may crack. We can advise if a joint needs a different product.
A missed perimeter seal on one window can wet the reveal and the plaster inside. That normally means redoing finishes in a completed area. Checking perimeters before internal finishes go on avoids it.
Work for main contractors and building owners
We take on planned maintenance as well as one-off repairs: working through a building or an estate in stages that fit your budget. Sites in Lunsford's Cross can sit alongside others in a wider programme.
Agents, factors and owners’ representatives all follow the same route: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed. Keys, access and contacts can be agreed in advance.
What sets the cost
To price the job, we consider:
- Distance, for remote addresses
- Phasing around occupants
- How much existing material needs removing
- Any access equipment needed
There’s no price list, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. Call for a quote.
What we need to price the job
To price the job accurately, we need to understand the site. Send us:
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- The product your specification calls for
- The postcode of the building
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
Pricing a project or setting a maintenance budget? We will quote against your scope and drawings you can plan around. For a chat about it beforehand, ring 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.
Mastic packages on Lunsford's Cross sites
Lunsford's Cross sits close to the coast, within about 3 miles. Facades and window perimeters on coastal schemes take more wind-driven rain, and salt air nearer the shore, so we check the specified product suits the exposure before the first bead. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Winter mornings still bring frost and condensation on frames and panels, so we time external mastic for dry faces and agree it with the site team.
Projects at schools like Ninfield Church of England Primary School work to term dates, so mastic is programmed tightly. New units and refits on sites such as Elva Business Centre, 1.9 miles south-east of Lunsford's Cross, need their panel and perimeter joints sealed to the specification. For a contractor working at a hospital such as Bexhill Hospital, which lies south-east of Lunsford's Cross, perimeter and facade sealing is planned around patients and deliveries.
Lunsford's Cross is about 2 miles north-west of Bexhill-on-Sea, in East Sussex. Our applicators travel to Lunsford's Cross for work on mastic packages. Lunsford's Cross is one of 308 places we cover in East Sussex. There’s a separate page for Brighton, about 25 miles away.
Work on mastic packages is covered throughout TN39. Lunsford's Cross sits on or close to the A269, which helps when planning parking and deliveries for the job. Nearby places we also cover include Watermill (1 mile east), Russell's Green (1 mile west), Hooe Common (1 mile west), Ninfield (1 mile north-west) and Sidley (2 miles south-east). Further afield, our area takes in Eastbourne (9 miles south-west), Hastings (5 miles east), Hailsham (8 miles west), St Leonards (5 miles east), Polegate (9 miles west) and Hastings Old Town (7 miles east).
What’s near Lunsford's Cross
Around Lunsford's Cross, our work takes us to commercial buildings near Highwoods and Bexhill High Academy, among other places. For rail, the closest station is Collington station, about 2.3 miles south of the centre. Well-known places in the area include Bexhill Hospital (2.1 miles south-east) and Herstmonceux Castle (4.4 miles west). The countryside around Lunsford's Cross includes Gillham Wood and Senlac Hill.
What happens if it’s left?
Refurbishments sometimes budget for new windows when the frames are sound and only the seal has failed. If the frame is in good order, cutting out and resealing the perimeter can be all it needs, which is a much smaller cost. We will say so if a frame itself is the problem. Around Lunsford's Cross, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once, rather than one at a time. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
No two sites price the same: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.

What we can’t put right
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Joints damaged after sign-off by following trades
- Designing joint widths or choosing the specification (that sits with the designer)
- Defective windows, doors or glazing units (the supplier or installer’s job)
If in doubt, ring 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will say what we think.
