How we handle construction mastic in Salvington
On refurbishments, the mastic package typically includes cutting out old sealant as well as sealing new work. Existing joints have to be stripped back to sound faces, because fresh sealant can’t key into cured silicone. After that, the joints are prepared and sealed to the specification. If you are dealing with a mastic package split between trades with no clear owner and window and door perimeters that won’t pass inspection, we can put it right. Searching for sealant specialists in Salvington? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005.
For a contractor on a smaller site near Salvington, one mastic visit at the right stage saves return trips. Let us know the key stages and we will time the work so nothing waits on us.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: twelve months on the work we carried out. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we are upfront about that.

Signs you need construction mastic in Salvington
On a live site, contamination is the biggest threat to a new joint. Plaster dust, release agents, protective film residue and damp all stop sealant bonding, so preparation matters as much here as on a reseal.
Look out for the following:
- Cracks opening in caulked internal joints
- A long mastic snag list close to completion
- Inconsistent sealant finishes from plot to plot
- Frame perimeters left unsealed or poorly sealed
With historic properties like Ecclesden Manor (3.2 miles west of Salvington) in the area, refurbishment work often meets old masonry that needs compatible sealants.

Owners, agents and contractors
Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients come to us directly as well. We plan around the way the building is used, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.
When you manage a building on behalf of an owner, 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.
When it isn’t the sealant
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Joints damaged after sign-off by following trades
- Defective windows, doors or glazing units (the supplier or installer’s job)
- Specifying the product where the designer hasn’t
Not sure which it is? You can ring 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we seal
- Sanitary and kitchen joints
- Floor and skirting junctions
- Cladding and panel joints
- Brick and block movement joints
- Window and door perimeters
- Internal decorators’ caulk

Salvington: questions and answers
Can you work at a site such as Downlands Business Park, by Salvington?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Salvington, Downlands Business Park among them, are all within reach. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Can you work on a hospital site such as Worthing Hospital?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
What happens if old sealant might contain asbestos?
Asbestos is possible in some older mastics, particularly in buildings from before 2000. Before we disturb old sealant in an older building, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey, and work stops until any suspect material has been tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
What guarantee comes with a mastic package?
The work is guaranteed for 12 months, covering how we sealed. Protecting sealed areas from following trades helps avoid damage.
How long will the new sealant last?
There isn’t a single answer, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and the certificate can go with your quote.
Do you offer coloured sealant?
In many cases, yes. Many products come in a range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or surrounding finishes is often possible. We will confirm the colours available for the specified product.
Building and refurbishing in Salvington
Salvington lies within about 3 miles of the sea. Coastal exposure means perimeter and cladding joints work harder than on an inland job, which puts weight on correct joint sizing, priming and a sealant suited to the exposure. Several hotels sit less than 2 miles from Salvington. Hotel refurbishments often run to tight programmes between busy periods, and perimeter and sanitary sealant has to keep up.
Recladding or extending a unit at a site like Downlands Business Park, 1.5 miles to the east of Salvington, brings panel joints and frame perimeters into the programme. Extensions at sites like Worthing Hospital (to the south-east of Salvington) usually sit beside working departments, and the mastic follows strict access rules.

Aftercare for building managers
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Brief following trades on areas that have been sealed
- Ask installers to correct oversized gaps first
- Plan external elevations with the weather in mind
- Bring the mastic contractor in after the last trades are through
The package carries our 12-month guarantee for workmanship. Damage by others isn’t a workmanship fault, so protecting sealed areas matters.
In wet areas, a weak sanitary joint shows up quickly once the building is occupied. Water gets behind trays, vanity tops and panels, leaving the remedial work to the contractor. Getting the product and preparation right first time avoids that.
From enquiry to 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. For a site in Salvington, we plan so the whole job is done in one go where possible. Clear photos and measurements help us bring the right products.
- Drawings, specification and programme come to us.
- Quantities are measured and a fixed price returned.
- We agree with the site team which areas come first.
- Plots or floors are sealed as they’re handed over.
- Every joint is cleaned, set to depth and sealed with the specified product.
- Snags are cleared and the package signed off with our 12-month guarantee.
