On site: what to expect
Occupied buildings need a little choreography. We sign and contain the area we’re in, with routes through the building left open and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use.

- Drawings, specification and programme come to us.
- We take off quantities and return a fixed quote.
- We agree with the site team which areas come first.
- Each area is sealed when it’s released.

- After snagging, the work is handed over under our 12-month guarantee.

Advice
How we handle construction mastic in Moulsecoomb
The specification and the programme set the job rather than whatever product is to hand. If a product is named, that’s what goes in, and if an alternative is proposed, it goes to you for acceptance first. Joint widths, backing, primers and tooling follow the manufacturer’s guidance. If you have sanitary sealant damaged by following trades and a mastic package split between trades with no clear owner, we can put it right. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Moulsecoomb first comes to us: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
Building work in places the size of Moulsecoomb is normally small-scale: a handful of new houses, barn conversions, a school or hall extension. Small schemes still need window perimeters, facade joints and internal sealant done to the specification.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and the quote explains what it covers.

Moulsecoomb: questions and answers
Does a coastal location like Moulsecoomb affect which sealant is used?
It can. Driven rain and salt are tougher on outside sealant than sheltered inland conditions. That puts more weight on product choice, primers where the manufacturer specifies them, and correct joint sizing.
Can you work around term dates at a campus such as University of Brighton?
Yes. We plan campus work around teaching, exams and residence turnarounds. Tell us which site documents you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate or CSCS details, and they’re confirmed with the quote.
Can you work plot by plot or floor by floor?
We follow the trades through the building. Areas are sealed as they’re released by the site team and we tell you if something stops an area being sealed.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to, and we raise anything unclear before work begins.
Do you do internal caulk as well as external mastic?
The scope comes from the specification and drawings, but most packages include frame perimeters, sanitary and kitchen joints, caulking where specified and a snagging pass.
When can you be on site?
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.
How do I request a quote?
It works in four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. Step one needs little more than photos and a postcode.

How the job changes by surface
External facade and movement joints
Many facade substrates need a primer before sealing. We prime where the manufacturer specifies, and seal only with a dry joint inside the product’s temperature range.
Window and door perimeters
Inside, a paintable sealant or decorators’ caulk is used where the joint doesn’t move much. We follow what’s specified with colours matched to the frame where needed.
Construction mastic in Moulsecoomb: the local picture
Moulsecoomb is within about 3 miles of the coast. 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. Moulsecoomb lies roughly 45 miles out from central London. Construction around the commuter belt mixes station-side flats with refurbished offices and units, which keeps mastic packages in demand.
Projects at colleges like Downs View Link College (to the west of Moulsecoomb) tend to run to term dates, so the mastic is planned tightly. When units on a site such as Home Farm Business Park (to the north-west of Moulsecoomb) are refurbished or reclad, the panel joints and window perimeters are part of the mastic package. On a campus such as University of Brighton (less than half a mile west of Moulsecoomb), new teaching buildings and residences are usually built and refurbished around the academic year.
Moulsecoomb is about 1 mile north-east of Brighton, in Brighton and Hove. Commercial clients in Moulsecoomb can call on us for mastic packages, as part of our coverage of Brighton and Hove. Moulsecoomb is one of 29 places in Brighton and Hove on our list.

When to bring in a specialist
There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint, which is what makes a joint last.
Looking after the joints
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Ask installers to correct oversized gaps first
- Stick to the specified sealant rather than a generic substitute
- Record the products used in the O&M file
- Brief the final clean team to avoid blades near sealant
Expect some settlement in the first months. The right product in each joint copes with that while rigid fillers and caulk can crack where movement is larger. If that happens, let us know.
Sanitary joints that fail early become defects soon after occupation. 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.
When something else is needed
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Faulty frames rather than failed sealant
- Designing joint widths or choosing the specification (that sits with the designer)
- Approving fire stopping as compliant
If in doubt, call 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll say what we think.
