About our construction mastic in Pease Pottage
Mastic tends to be one of the final packages before handover, which puts it right on the critical path. We work as a mastic subcontractor to main contractors and developers with projects in Pease Pottage, following the trades through the building as rooms and elevations become ready. The enquiries we see most involve inconsistent sealant finishes from plot to plot and perimeter gaps outside the sealant’s range, on sanitary and kitchen joints, window and door perimeters and floor and skirting junctions. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, in Pease Pottage it comes down to the same thing: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Conversions around smaller places like Pease Pottage often join new frames to old masonry or timber, and the sealant at those junctions has to cope with two materials that move differently.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. The promise is simple: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

From enquiry to sign-off
At the end of each section, the masking comes off, the area is cleaned and every joint is checked with your site contact. Where the sealant needs time to cure before use, we tell you and sign the area. What matters most for a job in Pease Pottage is a clear list of what needs doing, so send photos of each area. You will then get a fixed price for the work.
- First we take quantities off the drawings and read through the specification.
- A fixed quote sets out the scope, the products and the sequence.
- Any site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) is confirmed with the quote.
- We seal each plot or floor as it’s released to us.
- Every joint is prepared, set to depth and sealed with the specified product.
- Snags are cleared before handover and completed areas carry our 12-month guarantee.
What we need from you
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Move anything stored against the joints

Commercial clients in Pease Pottage
For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor. Programme, specification and site rules come first, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
If you look after buildings for someone else, you need clear quotes and clear reporting. We quote a fixed sum, confirm the scope and walk the finished work with you or your representative.
Doing it in-house
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class, which is what makes a joint last.
Certain joints really need a specialist: for instance 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.
What we can’t put right
A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. We will tell you if the real problem is any of the following:
- Oversized gaps that need packing or adjustment by others
- Fire-stopping design or sign-off (that’s for the designer, fire engineer and building control)
- Specifying the product where the designer hasn’t
If you’re not sure, just speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Common problems we fix in Pease Pottage
Swapping the specified sealant for a cheaper general-purpose product is a common cause of failure. A general-purpose silicone on a facade or a caulk in a wet area won’t perform like the specified product. We stick to the specified product, or put any alternative to you first.
Typical triggers for a call:
- New external sealant already peeling away
- Failed sealant in an existing building being refurbished
- Cracks opening in caulked internal joints
- Frame perimeters left unsealed or poorly sealed
Recladding or extending a unit at a site like Tilgate Forest Business Centre, 0.7 miles north of Pease Pottage, brings panel joints and frame perimeters into the programme.

Construction mastic in Pease Pottage: the local picture
A 2-mile radius around Pease Pottage takes in a number of hotels. Hotel refurbishments often run to tight programmes between busy periods, and perimeter and sanitary sealant has to keep up. Rainfall across the South East, Pease Pottage included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Still, external mastic needs dry faces within the maker’s temperature limits, which isn’t every day, so we time external mastic for dry faces and agree it with the site team.
New wings at hospitals like Crawley Hospital, 2.3 miles north of Pease Pottage, bring long runs of window and panel joints to seal. When a college such as Crawley College (2.3 miles north of Pease Pottage) builds or refurbishes, the mastic package typically has to fit around students and staff.

Pease Pottage: questions and answers
Is Pease Pottage too far out for you?
No. Places such as Pease Pottage are covered as much as the big towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Can you work around term dates at a campus such as Crawley College?
Yes. We plan campus work around teaching, exams and residence turnarounds. Let us know which documents your site asks for, and we’ll confirm them alongside the quote.
Can the building stay open while you work?
Typically, yes. Phased work can be planned so areas stay in use.
Can you clear a mastic snag list before handover?
Yes. Send the snag list or photographs and we’ll price it.
How many days will you need on site?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. You will have an expected duration with the quote.
How long before the joints can be used?
The product and site conditions decide that. Some products skin over quickly but need longer to cure fully, and we confirm it before leaving site.
Is the mastic package guaranteed?
Each package is backed by a 12-month guarantee. We carry five million pounds of public liability insurance.
Looking after the joints
After handover, a little attention goes a long way:
- Ask cleaners to use soft cloths around fresh sealant
- Bring the mastic contractor in after the last trades are through
- Get the mastic subcontractor involved early in the programme
- Put any product change through the designer first
A new structure shifts as it loses construction moisture. The right product in each joint copes with that. We can advise if a joint needs a different product.
Sanitary joints that fail early become defects soon after occupation. Water gets behind trays, vanity tops and panels, leaving the remedial work to the contractor. Proper preparation, with the right silicone first time, keeps it off the defects list.
