Different surfaces, different methods
External facade and movement joints
External movement joints often need primer, depending on the substrate. Primer goes on where the sealant maker calls for it, and seal only with a dry joint inside the product’s temperature range.
Snagging before handover
Snagging is often the final mastic stage. Snags are cleared room by room.
Construction mastic for commercial buildings in Poynings
Buyers, tenants and clients notice sealant lines long before they notice the structure. A smeared bead round a window or a gap behind a worktop ends up on the snag list. We seal so the snag list stays short, whatever the size of the scheme. Most enquiries involve failed sealant in an existing building being refurbished and internal caulk splitting as the building dries out, across internal decorators’ caulk, brick and block movement joints and sanitary and kitchen joints. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Poynings first comes to us: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
Construction in and around smaller places such as Poynings 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.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: twelve months on the work we carried out. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

Keeping the joints sound
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. Specifically:
- Get the mastic subcontractor involved early in the programme
- Brief the final clean team to avoid blades near sealant
- Put any product change through the designer first
- Bring the mastic contractor in after the last trades are through
A new structure shifts as it loses construction moisture. The right product in each joint copes with that, but caulk in a joint that moves more than expected may crack. We can advise if a joint needs a different product.
Sanitary joints that fail early become defects soon after occupation. Leaks behind showers and basins damage finishes and floors, and the repair falls into the defects period. Getting the product and preparation right first time avoids that.
When it isn’t the sealant
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It won’t put right:
- Rework caused by others damaging completed areas
- Designing joint widths or choosing the specification (that sits with the designer)
- Fire-stopping design or sign-off (that’s for the designer, fire engineer and building control)
If in doubt, ring 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll say what we think before you book.

FAQs: Poynings
Do you cover business parks and estates near Poynings, such as Aviation Trading Estate?
Yes. We cover Poynings and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Aviation Trading Estate. To start, just call 01277 525 020 or use the quote form with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Is a smaller place like Poynings outside your area?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
How long do sealant joints last?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
Is any job too small?
We quote for single jobs as well as large packages and programmes. Send details for a fixed quote.
Do you install fire-rated sealant as part of a package?
It can be part of the package where specified. Tell us what records you need and we’ll confirm with the quote.
How much does the work cost?
We don’t publish prices, as every site differs. Send photographs or drawings and we will price it at a fixed figure.
How many days will you need on site?
It depends on the scope, though a typical visit usually takes whatever the programme allows, since the work follows the trades as areas are released. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we’ll give you a timescale with the quote.
Should maintenance staff do it?
The visible bead is only part of the job. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are easy to get wrong without experience.
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.
Facades, frames and programmes in Poynings
Poynings is about 42 miles from central London. Building activity in the commuter belt runs from new flats near stations to business park refurbishments, so mastic packages have to keep pace with busy programmes. Rainfall across the South East, Poynings included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Even so, frost and condensation on steel and glass are common on winter mornings, so the external programme keeps a little slack.
Older buildings in the area around Poynings, such as Portslade Manor, 3.7 miles south of Poynings, need care when sealed: the product has to suit soft or historic materials. For contractors refurbishing units at places like Aviation Trading Estate, 1.7 miles to the north of Poynings, the mastic covers cladding panels, roller-door and window perimeters.
Poynings is about 4 miles north of Brighton and Hove, in West Sussex. Poynings sits inside our coverage and the rest of West Sussex, and jobs here get the same fixed quote and 12-month guarantee as anywhere else. Poynings is one of 373 places in West Sussex on our list.

What we’re called out for in Poynings
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.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Window and door perimeters that won’t pass inspection
- Different trades sealing to different standards
- Sanitary sealant damaged by following trades
- Mastic snags holding up handover
Extensions at sites like Southlands Hospital (4.4 miles south-west of Poynings) usually sit beside working departments, and the mastic follows strict access rules.
Questions to ask before you book
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
- What site paperwork they can supply
- Their approach to joint depth and backing
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
Diagnose, treat, sign off
Occupied buildings need a little choreography. The work area is signed and kept contained, keep walkways clear and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use. Jobs in and around smaller places like Poynings are normally planned as a single visit, so we ask for photographs and rough sizes first. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- We walk the site or review drawings to understand the package.
- A fixed quote sets out scope, products and phasing.
- Site paperwork is confirmed and our CSCS-carded applicators are inducted.
- Sealing follows the programme as areas are released.
- Any frame gaps or issues outside our scope are flagged to the site team.
- The package is closed out, snags cleared and backed by our 12-month guarantee.
Getting the site ready
- Flag any permit to work we will need
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Point out any areas we must not close
