How we handle construction mastic in North Chailey
Buyers, tenants and clients notice sealant lines long before they notice the structure. A smeared bead round a window or a gap behind a worktop ends up on the snag list. We seal so the snag list stays short, area by area through the programme. If you are dealing with a mastic package split between trades with no clear owner and sealant knocked or painted over by other trades, we can put it right, whatever the surface. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, in North Chailey it comes down to the same thing: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
For a site near North Chailey, the mastic visit is planned so the right sealants, primers and backing rod are on hand. Send drawings or photographs and the programme and we will quote to suit.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

What else we do in North Chailey
Questions we’re asked in North Chailey
Could you schedule work at a campus like University of Sussex for the vacation?
Yes. Education sites usually want the work in vacations or in phases during term, and we plan to suit. Let us know which documents your site asks for, and we will confirm them alongside the quote.
Is North Chailey too small for you to travel to?
No. Places such as North Chailey are covered as much as the big towns. London and every South East county are within our area. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
What guarantee comes with a mastic package?
The work is guaranteed for 12 months, covering how we sealed. Keeping other trades off finished joints prevents most problems.
How soon can the area be used again?
We will confirm how long the chosen product needs to cure, and flag anything to keep off until it has cured.
Can you quote from photographs?
It depends on the job. Simple work can often be priced from photographs, and bigger or more complex jobs normally get a visit.
What do you charge?
Each job is quoted on its own details. To get one, phone 01277 525 020 or use the quote form with a description of the work.
Who decides which product is used?
The specification comes first, if there is one. Without one, the joint decides: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
When something else is needed
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Glazing units that are cracked or misted
- Frame gaps too wide for sealant, which the installer needs to correct
- Fire-stopping design or sign-off (that’s for the designer, fire engineer and building control)
Not sure which it is? You can ring 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Cladding and panel joints
- Window and door perimeters
- Brick and block movement joints
- Sanitary and kitchen joints
- Floor and skirting junctions
- Internal decorators’ caulk
Doing it in-house
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.
Some joints are best left to specialists: for example fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
After the work
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Share these points with them:
- Note which sealant went where at handover
- Release areas for mastic once other trades have finished in them
- Allow flexibility for external sealing in damp or cold weather
- Ask cleaners to use soft cloths around fresh sealant
The package carries our 12-month guarantee for workmanship. Damage by others isn’t a workmanship fault, so protecting sealed areas matters.
External joints sealed in poor weather are a common cause of early failure. Holding off until conditions suit avoids callbacks so external sequencing builds in some flexibility.
Facades, frames and programmes in North Chailey
At about 37 miles from central London, North Chailey is within reach of the capital. Commuter-belt towns tend to see a steady flow of new flats, offices and commercial schemes, and each scheme needs its mastic sealed to programme. Rainfall across the South East, North Chailey included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Even so, frost and condensation on steel and glass are common on winter mornings, so external mastic is timed for workable conditions and agreed with the site manager.
When a school such as Chailey Heritage School is extended or refurbished, the mastic package is often squeezed into the holidays. University estates such as University of Sussex, 1.3 miles to the south-west of North Chailey, tend to have a rolling programme of new buildings and refurbishments, each with window perimeters and facade joints to seal. New wings at hospitals like Princess Royal Hospital (3.4 miles west of North Chailey) bring long runs of window and panel joints to seal.
