Construction mastic in Old Town
Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
Construction mastic in Old Town
Perimeter sealing outside needs a dry joint and the right temperature. Each sealant has a temperature range, and damp, frost or condensation on frames stops work, so we plan elevations with the forecast and the programme in mind. Internal sealing often fills those days. Most enquiries involve bath and shower joints scraped during the final clean and missed perimeter joints on a new elevation, on sanitary and kitchen joints, brick and block movement joints and internal decorators’ caulk. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: in Old Town, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
For a contractor on a smaller site near Old Town, one mastic visit at the right stage saves return trips. Let us know the key stages and we’ll time the work so nothing waits on us.
Every job is signed off with a 12-month guarantee. The promise is simple: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

Diagnose, treat, sign off
When we get to site, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before anything is cut or cleaned, with the work itself usually taking as long as the agreed sequence needs, which comes down to joint lengths, access and handover dates. If neighbouring businesses or buildings around Old Town need work too, visits can be combined. Tell us your site hours and we’ll plan around them.
- We price from the drawings, specification and programme you send.
- A fixed quote sets out the scope, the products and the sequence.
- You tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we confirm it with the quote.
- Work follows the programme, area by area, as rooms and elevations become ready.
- Joints are cleaned, primed where the maker requires it, backed and sealed to the specification.
- Before handover, snags are dealt with and the package is signed off under our 12-month guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings

A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. You will hear from us if the cause turns out to be one of these:
- Joint design decisions that belong to the architect or engineer
- Frames fitted out of tolerance
- Defective windows, doors or glazing units (the supplier or installer’s job)
If you’re not sure, just call 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we will give you a straight answer.
Joints and surfaces we work on

Surface by surface
Bathrooms, en suites and washrooms
In bathrooms and washrooms, an anti-mould sanitary silicone goes around every fitting. Joints are cleaned, sealed and tooled neatly, and any bath is loaded with water first where that’s the agreed method.
Window and door perimeters
Perimeter joints between frames and the structure are the weather line on any new building. We use the specified perimeter sealant, typically a low-modulus neutral-cure silicone, with backing rod in deeper gaps.
Questions we are asked in Old Town
Is Courtlands Road Industrial Estate, near Old Town, within your area?
Yes. We cover Old Town and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Courtlands Road Industrial Estate. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Could you schedule work at a campus like University of Brighton Eastbourne Campus for the vacation?
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 fire-rated sealing at service penetrations be included?
Where it’s specified, yes, working to the specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance. We’ll flag if the detail needs a different product.
How do you choose the sealant?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No, never. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so it all comes out first.
What happens if old sealant might contain asbestos?
Asbestos is possible in some older mastics, particularly in buildings from before 2000. Before we disturb old sealant in an older building, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey, and work stops until any suspect material has been tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance.
Construction mastic around Old Town: what changes locally
Old Town lies within about 2 miles of the sea. Schemes this close to the sea see their facade joints tested by wind and rain from the day they’re sealed, so we check the specified product suits the exposure before the first bead. At about 53 miles from central London, Old Town is within reach of the capital. Construction around the commuter belt mixes station-side flats with refurbished offices and units, and main contractors there need mastic that keeps to the programme.
Further education sites such as East Sussex College Eastbourne, 1.1 miles to the north of Old Town, are extended and refurbished from time to time, with mastic often programmed into the summer break. University estates such as University of Brighton Eastbourne Campus, 1.2 miles to the south of Old Town, tend to have a rolling programme of new buildings and refurbishments, each with window perimeters and facade joints to seal.
Old Town is about 1 mile south-west of Eastbourne, in East Sussex. We cover Old Town and the rest of East Sussex, with the same fixed quotes and 12-month guarantee as everywhere else. Our East Sussex coverage takes in 308 places. There’s a separate page for Brighton, roughly 18 miles from Old Town.

What’s near Old Town

When to call us in Old Town
On a live site, contamination is the biggest threat to a new joint. Dust, film adhesive, damp and grease on the joint faces prevent a proper bond, so preparation matters as much here as on a reseal.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Old sealant on a refurbishment that needs stripping before new work
- Frame perimeters left unsealed or poorly sealed
- New external sealant already peeling away
- Perimeter gaps outside the sealant’s range
New units and refits on sites such as Courtlands Road Industrial Estate (to the east of Old Town) need their panel and perimeter joints sealed to the specification.
Questions to ask before you book
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Who will actually carry out the work
Commercial clients in Old Town
Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. We phase the work so people keep access, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
We work for building owners and managing agents on everything from one building to a spread of sites. Several sites can go on one quote, which keeps the paperwork simple.
How the quote is worked out
Before we quote, we look at:
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- The product specified
- How accessible the joints are
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
Every site prices differently: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.
Details that help us quote
However big the job, these details speed things up:
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- Specification clauses that apply
- The site address and postcode
Quotes are fixed against the scope you send, so you know the figure before anyone is on site. To ask for one, call 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form.
