How we handle construction mastic in Portfield
Getting a subcontractor through site induction should be simple. We’re a Constructionline member and CHAS accredited, and every applicator holds a CSCS card, with public liability insurance in place. RAMS, an insurance certificate and CSCS details can be confirmed with the quote if you tell us what you need. We work on window and door perimeters, internal decorators’ caulk and floor and skirting junctions, and what we are called in for most is frame perimeters left unsealed or poorly sealed and sanitary sealant damaged by following trades. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Portfield? We have been sealing commercial buildings since 2005, with CSCS-carded applicators.
Around places like Portfield, a lot of construction is the conversion of older buildings, and the sealant at those junctions has to cope with two materials that move differently, in a colour the planners or architect are happy with.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we are clear about what is covered before work starts.

Why it’s worth doing now in Portfield
When a package runs over budget, downgrading the product is a common first thought. The saving is small next to the cost of callbacks and defects. Where an alternative is genuinely suitable, we will say so. A failed joint lets water into a building whatever its size. Early resealing avoids the damage that follows a leak.
Pricing mastic packages depends on how many there are, their condition and the access, and any specification that applies. Call for a quote.

Questions we are asked in Portfield
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as St Richard's Hospital?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Could you schedule work at a campus like University of Chichester for the vacation?
Yes. Tell us the term dates, vacation periods and access windows, and we will plan the work around them. Tell us which site documents you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate or CSCS details, and they’re confirmed with the quote.
What site paperwork can you supply?
Let us know which documents the site needs, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
Will you come and look before quoting?
It depends on the job. Simple work can often be priced from photos, and bigger or more complex jobs normally get a visit.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
Outside, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Internal work is rarely affected.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured, including public liability cover.
When can the area be used after sealing?
We will confirm how long the chosen product needs to cure.
What the job involves on each surface
Fire-rated sealant where specified
Fire-rated sealant is one type of fire-stopping product. Collars, wraps, batts and boards are specified for other services so we will flag where the detail needs something different. Record requirements are agreed with the quote.
Internal decorators’ caulk
Caulking is often done in a hurry by whoever’s on site. A neat, consistent caulk line makes the decorators’ job quicker and reduces snags.
Doing it in-house
Certain joints really need a specialist: for instance fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong usually costs more in the end than doing them right.
There’s also the paperwork. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
New build and refits around Portfield
Portfield is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. Still, external mastic needs dry faces within the maker’s temperature limits, which isn’t every day, so external mastic is timed for workable conditions and agreed with the site manager. There are a number of hotels within about 2 miles of Portfield. When hotels extend or refit, the work is normally squeezed between peak periods, mastic included.
When a college such as Chichester College, 1.2 miles west of Portfield, builds or refurbishes, the mastic package typically has to fit around students and staff. New wings at hospitals like St Richard's Hospital, 0.6 miles to the north-west of Portfield, bring long runs of window and panel joints to seal. Hotels like East Walls Hotel (0.6 miles west of Portfield) rarely close for long, so refurbishment mastic is phased floor by floor.
