- Distance, for remote addresses

Construction mastic around Runcton: points for this area
Runcton sits close to the coast, within about 3 miles. Facades and window perimeters on coastal schemes take more wind-driven rain, and salt air nearer the shore, and the sealant, primer and backing need choosing with that in mind. Runcton sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Winter mornings still bring frost and condensation on frames and panels, so the external programme keeps a little slack.
Recladding or extending a unit at a site like Quarry Lane Industrial Estate (1.2 miles north-west of Runcton) brings panel joints and frame perimeters into the programme. For a contractor working at a hospital such as St Richard's Hospital, 2.2 miles north-west of Runcton, perimeter and facade sealing is planned around patients and deliveries. School extensions, at buildings such as North Mundham Primary School, typically run to the summer holidays, mastic included.
Runcton is about 2 miles south-east of Chichester, in West Sussex. Across the PO20 postcode area, the process is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed. Runcton is one of 373 places in West Sussex on our list. We also cover Portsmouth, around 14 miles from Runcton.
Commercial sites across PO20 are covered. Buildings on Goodwood Gardens, Brookside and Lagness Road are within our area for mastic packages. Just outside Runcton, we also work in North Mundham (1 mile west), Merston (1 mile north-east), Lagness (1 mile south-east), Hunston (1 mile west) and Portfield (2 miles north). Nearby towns on our patch include Worthing (15 miles east), Bognor Regis (3 miles south-east), Selsey (6 miles south), Littlehampton (9 miles east), Rustington (10 miles east) and Storrington (15 miles north-east).

For managing agents and facilities managers
Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. We phase the work so people keep access, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units book us directly too. The work is planned around how the building runs, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.
After the work
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. Specifically:
- Get the mastic subcontractor involved early in the programme
- Protect sealed areas from following trades
- Brief the final clean team to avoid blades near sealant
- Plan external elevations with the weather in mind
At handover, keep the product details with the O&M information. Future maintenance is easier when the products are known and avoids guesswork when joints are renewed. Tell us what records you need and we’ll confirm with the quote.
Oversized gaps are a problem better caught early. Filling a wide gap with sealant alone sets up a failure. We flag them as soon as we see them.

What sealant work can’t fix
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It isn’t the answer for:
- Joints damaged after sign-off by following trades
- Joint design decisions that belong to the architect or engineer
- Deciding which fire-stopping product a penetration needs
Not sure which it is? You can call the office on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Questions we are asked in Runcton
Is a hospital such as St Richard's Hospital somewhere you can work?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Is Runcton too far out for you?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
How do you work with the site programme?
The programme sets the job. Share the release dates and we’ll match our work to them.
What do you charge?
We don’t publish prices, because every site is different. Send photos or drawings and we’ll price it at a fixed figure.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance.
Can staff carry on working while you are here?
Yes, as long as we plan it. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will plan around them.
Does weather affect external mastic work?
External mastic depends on conditions: each sealant has a temperature range, and the joint must be dry. External work is sequenced with some flexibility.
Should maintenance staff do it?
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. 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. Where it goes wrong is preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
