Your questions answered
Is Old Shoreham off your patch?

What hours do you work?

Can fire-rated sealing at service penetrations be included?
Fire-rated sealant can be included where it’s specified, installed to the product’s tested detail. The design and sign-off belong to the designer, fire engineer or building control.
Can you come in just for snagging?
Yes. Damaged, missed or untidy joints are stripped and done again properly, working to your handover date.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Our applicators hold CSCS cards, and we’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member. Public liability insurance of five million pounds is in place too.
What guarantee comes with a mastic package?
The work is guaranteed for 12 months on the workmanship. Protecting sealed areas from following trades helps avoid damage.
Construction mastic for commercial buildings in Old Shoreham
Refurbishment work needs a slightly different approach from new build. 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. New and existing joints then get the same preparation. Most enquiries involve oversized or tapered gaps around new frames and mastic snags holding up handover, across window and door perimeters, cladding and panel joints and brick and block movement joints. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, the work in Old Shoreham is the same: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Around smaller places like Old Shoreham, building work usually means conversions of farm buildings, a few new houses or an extension to a hall or school. Each still needs a proper mastic package: window perimeters, facade joints and internal sealant to the specification.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we’re upfront about that.

Contractors’ notes for Old Shoreham
Old Shoreham sits close to the coast, within about 1 mile. On a coastal site, facade and perimeter joints face driven rain and, closer to the beach, salt, and the sealant, primer and backing need choosing with that in mind. Old Shoreham is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. Winter mornings still bring frost and condensation on frames and panels, so the external programme keeps a little slack.
New wings at hospitals like Southlands Hospital, 1.4 miles to the east of Old Shoreham, bring long runs of window and panel joints to seal. For contractors at a school such as Swiss Gardens Primary School, sealing has to be finished before term starts.
Old Shoreham is about 1 mile west of Shoreham-by-Sea, in West Sussex. If you’re looking for construction mastic in Old Shoreham, we can help. Across West Sussex, 373 places are covered, Old Shoreham among them. There’s a separate page for Brighton, roughly 7 miles from Old Shoreham.

Why deal with it now?
A cheaper sealant can look like an easy saving on a large package. A failed joint in the defects period costs far more than the product difference, especially externally. Where an alternative is genuinely suitable, we will say so. For buildings around smaller places like Old Shoreham, 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. Resealing early avoids that.
A quote for mastic packages depends on quantities, condition and access, and any specification that applies. Call for a quote.

When something else is needed
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. These need a different solution:
- Fire-stopping design or sign-off (that’s for the designer, fire engineer and building control)
- Joint design decisions that belong to the architect or engineer
- Faulty frames rather than failed sealant
Not sure which it is? You can phone 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we seal
- Brick and block movement joints
- Floor and skirting junctions
- Window and door perimeters
- Internal decorators’ caulk
- Cladding and panel joints
- Sanitary and kitchen joints
Maintenance after handover
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Share these points with them:
- Put any product change through the designer first
- Allow flexibility for external sealing in damp or cold weather
- Bring the mastic contractor in after the last trades are through
- Note which sealant went where at handover
At handover, keep the product details with the O&M information. That helps the building owner maintain the joints later, and tells you what to reseal with. Tell us what records you need and we’ll confirm with the quote.
Sanitary joints that fail early become defects soon after occupation. Water gets behind trays, vanity tops and panels. Proper preparation, with the right silicone first time, keeps it off the defects list.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
A typical day starts with protection: masking tape along the joint edges and sheeting over anything nearby. On site, the work typically takes anything from a day of snagging to several weeks of plot-by-plot sealing on a phased scheme, and our waste is bagged and taken away as we go. Rural sites near Old Shoreham may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Add it to your enquiry and we’ll build it into the plan.

When to call us in Old Shoreham
A joint without backing rod or bond-breaker often fails early. Fixed to three faces, the sealant rips the first time the joint opens, so depth is controlled with backing rod or bond-breaker tape.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Caulk cracking where joints are moving more than expected
- Old sealant on a refurbishment that needs stripping before new work
- Oversized or tapered gaps around new frames
- A long mastic snag list close to completion
With historic properties like Portslade Manor, 3.1 miles east of Old Shoreham, in the area, refurbishment work often meets old masonry that needs compatible sealants.
