Advice
Construction mastic for commercial buildings in Norton
The specification and the programme set the job, not to habit. If a product is named, that’s what goes in. Joint widths, backing, primers and tooling follow the manufacturer’s guidance so the detail on the drawing is what ends up on site. We work on floor and skirting junctions, brick and block movement joints and window and door perimeters, and what we’re called in for most is missed perimeter joints on a new elevation and mastic snags holding up handover. Most enquiries from Norton start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Conversions of older rural buildings near smaller places such as Norton bring stone, flint, brick and timber up against new glazing. A product that grips an irregular face, with a colour that suits the building’s character, is typically what’s needed.
We stand behind the joints we seal with a 12-month guarantee. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant, and if something we did falls short, we return to it.

Why deal with it now?
A quick bead over a damaged joint can get an area past inspection. New sealant laid on old or dirty sealant has nothing to bond to, and the defect comes back after handover. Damaged joints are removed and resealed from clean faces. For buildings around smaller places like Norton, water damage can go unnoticed for longer, especially where a building isn’t used daily, so a failed joint can leak for a while before anyone sees it. Renewing joints in good time avoids the problem.
The work involved drives the cost: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a quote.

Surface by surface
Snagging before handover
Snagging is often the final mastic stage. Snags are cleared room by room, cutting out damaged joints and resealing them properly.
Internal decorators’ caulk
Where the specification calls for it, acrylic decorators’ caulk goes on non-moving internal gaps before painting. It’s paintable and suits gaps that don’t move, and we use a flexible sealant where there’s movement.
Owners, agents and contractors
Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units come to us directly as well. We plan around the way the building is used, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.
We take on planned maintenance as well as one-off repairs: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. Sites in Norton can sit alongside others in a wider programme.
Norton: questions and answers
Would you work within a site like Chailey Heritage Marine Hospital?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Is Norton too small for you to travel to?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. London and every South East county are within our area. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Can you send site paperwork?
Requirements differ from site to site, so tell us what you need and we’ll confirm it when we quote.
What accreditations do you hold?
We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, with CSCS-carded applicators. Public liability insurance of five million pounds is in place too.
How do we ask for a quote?
There are four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. The first step only needs photos and a postcode.
Can you quote from photos?
That depends on the size and complexity of the job. Straightforward work can often be priced from photos and measurements, while larger or less clear jobs get a site visit first.
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.

What sets the cost
The price varies from site to site. Expect it to depend on:
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Any access equipment needed
- Working within restricted access windows
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well, along with the time of year for external work.
Sending details for a quote
We can often quote from photos and a few details. It helps to include:
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- What the building is and how it’s used
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
Need a figure for a tender or a budget? Send the scope and any drawings, and we will return a fixed quote that you can work with. If you have questions first, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.
Construction mastic around Norton: points for this area
The sea is no more than about 2 miles from Norton. On a coastal site, facade and perimeter joints face driven rain and, closer to the beach, salt, so joint design, primers and product choice deserve extra care. Norton sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. 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.
New units and refits on sites such as Newhaven Industrial Park (1.3 miles south-west of Norton) need their panel and perimeter joints sealed to the specification. University estates such as University of Brighton (to the north-west of Norton) tend to have a rolling programme of new buildings and refurbishments, each with window perimeters and facade joints to seal. Work at a hotel such as White Lion Hotel, 1.5 miles south of Norton, tends to be programmed around bookings, mastic included.

Should maintenance staff do it?
Redoing a failed joint normally costs more than getting it right at the outset, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
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.
