Cost factors for mastic packages
What shapes the price:
- Travel to remote or island sites
- The size and state of each joint
- Access and working height
- Which sealant the job calls for
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote and we’ll put a fixed figure on it.
Details that help us quote
The more we know, the firmer the quote. When you get in touch, include:
- What the building is and how it’s used
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- Access details, including height
- Any dates the work must fit around
A handful of photographs and a postcode is the fastest way to a quote. Upload them with the quote form, or call the office on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email if you’d rather talk the job through.
Construction mastic in Lurgashall, done properly
Refurbishment work needs a slightly different approach from new build. Old beads come out completely, as fresh silicone can’t grip old. New and existing joints then get the same preparation. Most enquiries involve missed perimeter joints on a new elevation and new external sealant already peeling away, on window and door perimeters, floor and skirting junctions and cladding and panel joints. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Lurgashall first comes to us: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
In the countryside around places like Lurgashall, conversion schemes put new frames into old stone, flint, brick or timber. A product that grips an irregular face, with a colour that suits the building’s character, is typically what’s needed.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

Construction mastic in Lurgashall: the local picture
Lurgashall is about 41 miles from central London. Building activity in the commuter belt runs from new flats near stations to business park refurbishments, so mastic packages have to keep pace with busy programmes. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Still, external mastic needs dry faces within the maker’s temperature limits, which isn’t every day, which is why external dates are agreed with the site manager.
Recladding or extending a unit at a site like Colhook Industrial Park., 1.8 miles to the east of Lurgashall, brings panel joints and frame perimeters into the programme. Older buildings in the area around Lurgashall, such as Petworth House (3.9 miles south-east of Lurgashall), need care when sealed: the product has to suit soft or historic materials.
Lurgashall is about 12 miles east of Petersfield, in West Sussex. We cover commercial sites throughout Lurgashall. Our West Sussex coverage takes in 373 places. For work in that direction, see our Portsmouth page.

Your questions answered
Is Lurgashall 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. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Is Colhook Industrial Park., near Lurgashall, within your area?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Lurgashall, Colhook Industrial Park. Among them, are all within reach. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
How long does a job like this take?
That varies with the scale of the job, but the work normally takes as long as the agreed sequence needs, which comes down to joint lengths, access and handover dates. For bigger or phased jobs, we will set out a timescale with the quote.
Do you take on multi-site work?
Yes. Several buildings can share a single quote, and you deal with one contact throughout.
Can weather delay the job?
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.
Do you install fire-rated sealant as part of a package?
Fire-rated sealant can be included where it’s specified, installed to the product’s tested detail. Fire-stopping design and sign-off sit with the designer and building control.
Can you fit around our working hours?
The office is staffed Monday to Friday, from 8am until 5pm. Tell us your site hours and access windows and the work will be fitted around them.
Looking after the joints
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Keep scrapers and abrasive pads off new beads
- Protect sealed areas from following trades
- Get the mastic subcontractor involved early in the programme
- Note which sealant went where at handover
If a joint is damaged after sealing, flag it early. We can return to clear snags before handover.
Oversized gaps are a problem better caught early. Sealant stretched over an oversized gap won’t last. We raise them during our first walk of the area.
General trades versus a specialist
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. Where it goes wrong is preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are where general trades tend to cut corners.
Common problems we fix in Lurgashall
On construction sites, joints usually fail early because of when they were sealed, not what was used. Sealing before decorators, flooring or other trades have finished leaves joints exposed to damage, so they end up back on the snag list.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- Missed perimeter joints on a new elevation
- Old sealant on a refurbishment that needs stripping before new work
- Perimeter gaps outside the sealant’s range
- Caulk cracking where joints are moving more than expected
For a contractor working at a hospital such as Midhurst Community Hospital (4.1 miles south-west of Lurgashall), perimeter and facade sealing is planned around patients and deliveries.

Advice
Surface by surface
Fire-rated sealant where specified
Fire-rated sealant is one type of fire-stopping product. Collars, wraps, batts and boards are specified for other services, and we’ll tell you if the detail calls for something else. Record requirements are agreed with the quote.
External facade and movement joints
Movement joints in the facade are sealed with a product suited to the expected movement. Depth is controlled with backing rod so the bead bonds to two sides only.
