About our construction mastic in Patching
Refurbishment work needs a slightly different approach from new build. Old beads come out completely, as fresh silicone can’t grip old, and on older buildings we ask for the asbestos survey before disturbing anything. New and existing joints then get the same preparation. If you’re dealing with frame perimeters left unsealed or poorly sealed and existing joints on a refurb that need cutting out and resealing, we can help, on floor and skirting junctions, window and door perimeters and sanitary and kitchen joints alike. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: on jobs in Patching, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Construction in and around smaller places such as Patching is often barn conversions, small groups of houses or extensions to halls and schools. Perimeters, facade joints and internal sealant all need doing properly, however small the scheme.
We stand by our work with a 12-month guarantee. That covers our preparation and application.

Construction mastic around Patching: what changes locally
At about 48 miles from central London, Patching is within reach of the capital. Towns within reach of London tend to keep building, from flats to offices and schools, and each scheme needs its mastic sealed to programme. Patching 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.
Projects at schools like Clapham and Patching CofE Primary School work to term dates, so mastic is programmed tightly. Hospital estates such as Goring Hall Hospital (to the south of Patching) tend to grow and change in phases, often next to occupied wards, so facade and perimeter sealing has to fit the estates team’s plan.
Patching is about 3 miles north-west of Worthing, in West Sussex. Commercial clients in Patching can call on us for mastic packages. Across West Sussex, 373 places are covered, Patching among them. We also cover Brighton, around 14 miles from Patching.

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. The usual problems come from preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
Certain joints really need a specialist: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. Getting these wrong usually costs more in the end than doing them right.
Your questions answered
Is Patching off your patch?
No. Places such as Patching are covered as much as the big towns. We work across Greater London and the South East. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Will you take on work at estates like Gosling Croft Business Centre, close to Patching?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Patching, Gosling Croft Business Centre among them, are all within reach. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.
How do you work with the site programme?
We follow the trades through the building. Each plot, floor or elevation is sealed when it’s ready and we tell you if something stops an area being sealed.
Will you quote for a small job?
Small jobs are welcome alongside larger packages. Photos and a description are enough to start.
What hours do you work?
The office is staffed Monday to Friday, from 8am until 5pm. Let us know your site hours and access windows, and the work will be planned around them.
How do we ask for a quote?
You can use the quote form on this site; alternatively, phone 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos. Photos, drawings or a joint schedule help us quote quickly.
What do you charge?
There isn’t a price list, as every site differs. Send photographs or drawings and we will price it at a fixed figure.
Do you need construction mastic in Patching?
Wide, tapered or inconsistent gaps around frames are a common problem. Sealant has a range of joint widths it can cope with. Better to raise it at the start than seal a joint that’s bound to fail.
Look out for the following:
- A mastic package split between trades with no clear owner
- Bath and shower joints scraped during the final clean
- Frame perimeters left unsealed or poorly sealed
- Early adhesion failures on new external joints
New units and refits on sites such as Gosling Croft Business Centre (under half a mile south-east of Patching) need their panel and perimeter joints sealed to the specification.
Questions to ask before you book
- Their public liability cover
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
- Their approach to joint depth and backing
When it isn’t the sealant
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we’re upfront when that’s the case. It won’t fix:
- Damage to finishes by other trades after we have sealed
- Oversized gaps that need packing or adjustment by others
- Approving fire stopping as compliant
Not sure which it is? You can call the office on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we seal
- Floor and skirting junctions
- Window and door perimeters
- Sanitary and kitchen joints
- Internal decorators’ caulk
- Brick and block movement joints
- Cladding and panel joints
How the quote is worked out
Quotes vary with the job. It mainly depends on:
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Distance, for remote addresses
- Phasing around occupants
- How much existing material needs removing
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.
Sending details for a quote
A good diagnosis starts with the right details. Let us know:
- The type of building and who uses it
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- The site address and postcode
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
A good quote starts with a clear picture: the joints involved, quantities, access and the product called for. Share whatever details you have and we’ll fill any gaps with a visit.
