Looking after the joints
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. Our advice:
- Don’t schedule sealing before decorators and flooring are done
- Put any product change through the designer first
- Get the mastic subcontractor involved early in the programme
- Flag uneven or tapered frame gaps early
After we’ve sealed an area, it helps to keep other trades from damaging the joints. Fresh sealant needs its cure time before it’s cleaned, painted near or knocked.
Sanitary joints that fail early become defects soon after occupation. Leaks behind showers and basins damage finishes and floors, leaving the remedial work to the contractor. Proper preparation, with the right silicone first time, keeps it off the defects list.
Construction mastic for commercial buildings in South Street
We work to the specification and the programme, not to habit. If a product is named, that’s what goes in, and if an alternative is proposed, it goes to you for acceptance first. Backing, primer and depth follow what the sealant maker sets out. If you have frame gaps too wide for sealant alone and mastic snags holding up handover, we can put it right. Whoever orders the work in South Street, the brief is typically the same: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Construction in and around smaller places such as South Street is often barn conversions, small groups of houses or extensions to halls and schools. Each still needs a proper mastic package: window perimeters, facade joints and internal sealant to the specification.
We stand behind the joints we seal: 12 months, guaranteed. That covers our preparation and application.

Why deal with it now?
Clearing snags piecemeal is tempting when handover is close. But one planned snagging pass through each area usually clears more for less disruption. We can run snagging as its own phase before handover. Around South Street, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once, rather than one at a time. Send photographs of each area and we will quote for the lot.
The price depends on how many linear metres there are, what has to come out first and how the joints are reached. Call for a quote once you have the details.
Why appoint us

Facades, frames and programmes in South Street
At about 38 miles from central London, South Street is within reach of the capital. Commuter-belt towns tend to see a steady flow of new flats, offices and commercial schemes, and main contractors there need mastic that keeps to the programme. Rainfall across the South East, South Street included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. That doesn’t stop wet spells, or frosty starts that leave panels too damp to seal, so external mastic is timed for workable conditions and agreed with the site manager.
University estates such as University of Sussex, 1.1 miles north-west of South Street, tend to have a rolling programme of new buildings and refurbishments, each with window perimeters and facade joints to seal. For contractors at a school such as Chailey School, sealing has to be finished before term starts. Extensions at sites like Princess Royal Hospital, 4.3 miles to the north-west of South Street, usually sit beside working departments, and the mastic follows strict access rules.
South Street is about 5 miles east of Burgess Hill, in East Sussex. Businesses, contractors and managing agents in South Street use us for work on mastic packages.

What sealant work can’t fix
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Frame gaps too wide for sealant, which the installer needs to correct
- Joints damaged after sign-off by following trades
- Specifying the product where the designer hasn’t
If you’re not sure, just speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Floor and skirting junctions
- Window and door perimeters
- Cladding and panel joints
- Brick and block movement joints
- Sanitary and kitchen joints
- Internal decorators’ caulk
Different surfaces, different methods
Kitchens and utility areas
Commercial kitchens often need hygienic or food-safe sealants. We follow the specification and seal to a smooth, cleanable finish.
Internal decorators’ caulk
Where the specification calls for it, acrylic decorators’ caulk goes on non-moving internal gaps before painting. It’s paintable and suits gaps that don’t move.
Commercial clients in South Street
We work for building owners and managing agents on everything from one building to a spread of sites. One quote can cover more than one site, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.
CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, we make supplier vetting simple. Our insurance certificate can be sent along with the quote.
