Construction mastic in Rustington
The programme rarely stands still, so the mastic package has to flex with it. The sequence is set with the site team and updated as plots or floors are handed over and we don’t seal before other trades have finished in an area. Sealing too early only means coming back once others have damaged it. If you are dealing with caulk cracking where joints are moving more than expected and frame gaps too wide for sealant alone, we can help. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, the work in Rustington is the same: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Conversions around smaller places like Rustington often join new frames to old masonry or timber, 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.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: preparation, application and finish. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

What sets the cost
The price varies from site to site. Expect it to depend on:
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Travel to remote or island sites
- Any access equipment needed
- Whether the work must be split into stages
No two sites price the same: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.

Your questions answered
Can being near the sea in Rustington affect the sealant we need?
It can. Driven rain and salt are tougher on outside sealant than sheltered inland conditions. That puts more weight on product choice, primers where the manufacturer specifies them, and correct joint sizing.
Does your area include sites such as Rustington Trading Estate, near Rustington?
Yes, sites like Rustington Trading Estate are within our area, along with the rest of Rustington. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
Managing asbestos is the dutyholder’s responsibility, so we’ll ask for the register before work on an older building. If anything suspect turns up, we stop until it’s tested.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and the certificate can go with your quote.
Do you offer coloured sealant?
In many cases, yes. Sealants are made in a wide range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or nearby finishes is commonly requested. We will confirm the colours available for the specified product.
How many days will you need on site?
The duration is planned around your programme and the access we are given. We will give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
Do you do fire-rated sealing on new builds?
Where it’s specified, yes. If the detail calls for collars, wraps or batts instead, we will tell you.
How the job changes by surface
External facade and movement joints
Brickwork, blockwork and panel movement joints need a sealant with the right movement capability. We set the depth with backing rod to avoid three-sided adhesion.
Fire-rated sealant where specified
Not every penetration suits a sealant. Other products are used for some services and gaps. Tell us what records you need and we’ll confirm with the quote.
When to bring in a specialist
The visible bead is only part of the job. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are where general trades tend to cut corners.
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint.
Owners, agents and contractors
Building owners and managing agents use us on everything from one building to a spread of sites. Several sites can go on one quote, which keeps the paperwork simple.
We take on planned maintenance as well as one-off repairs: working through a building or an estate in stages that fit your budget. Rustington can form part of a wider programme across West Sussex.
After the work
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. Our advice:
- Note which sealant went where at handover
- Keep finished joints away from paint, plaster and scrapers
- Bring the mastic contractor in after the last trades are through
- Brief the final clean team to avoid blades near sealant
If a joint is damaged after sealing, flag it early. Snags can be picked up in a planned close-out visit.
Frames with gaps too wide for sealant need sorting before the mastic goes on. Sealant stretched over an oversized gap won’t last so packing or adjustment by the installer comes first. We raise them during our first walk of the area.

Advice
Sites and facades in and around Rustington
Rustington lies within about 1 mile of the sea. Schemes this close to the sea see their facade joints tested by wind and rain from the day they’re sealed, and the sealant, primer and backing need choosing with that in mind. Rustington lies roughly 51 miles out from central London. Towns within reach of London tend to keep building, from flats to offices and schools, so mastic packages have to keep pace with busy programmes.
For a contractor at a hotel such as New Inn Hotel, 1.2 miles to the south-west of Rustington, the mastic often has to be finished before a reopening date. School extensions, at buildings such as Rustington Community Primary School, typically run to the summer holidays, mastic included. With historic properties like Ecclesden Manor (to the north-east of Rustington) in the area, refurbishment work often meets old masonry that needs compatible sealants.
