Construction mastic for commercial buildings in Storrington
Mastic tends to be one of the final packages before handover, so it lands at exactly the point the programme is tightest. Mastic Doctor takes on mastic packages for main contractors and developers with projects in Storrington. We work on brick and block movement joints, sanitary and kitchen joints and cladding and panel joints, and what we’re called in for most is caulk cracking where joints are moving more than expected and frame perimeters left unsealed or poorly sealed. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: on jobs in Storrington, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
On a small site around Storrington, the mastic is best done in the fewest visits we can manage. Tell us when scaffold comes down and when decoration finishes, and we’ll plan around those stages.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we’re upfront about that.

How the quote is worked out
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, because every site is different. What we take into account:
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Location, for remote and island sites
- How accessible the joints are
- How much there is to seal
Every site prices differently: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.
Before you send an enquiry
The more we know, the firmer the quote. When you get in touch, include:
- Any specification or named product
- What the building is and how it’s used
- Access details, including height
- Clear photographs of the problem areas
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints and a fixed quote comes back to you. If the job needs a look first, we will arrange a site visit.
Our process
Site rules come first: sign-in, induction and whatever permit system the building uses. Once we are cleared to begin, the joints are worked through in the order agreed with your site contact, and each area is checked before we leave it. For a job in Storrington, the main thing is a clear picture of the work. You’ll then get a fixed price for the work.
- First we take quantities off the drawings and read through the specification.
- You receive a fixed quote listing scope, products and phasing.
- You tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we confirm it with the quote.
- We seal each plot or floor as it’s released to us.
- Each joint is prepared, backed to depth and sealed in the product the specification names.
- We close out snagging and hand over with a 12-month guarantee.
Getting the site ready
- Flag any permit to work we will need
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements

Storrington: questions and answers
Can you keep pace with our programme in Storrington?
Yes. The mastic is planned around your key stages. Tell us which site documents you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate or CSCS details, and they’re confirmed with the quote.
Is Storrington too small for you to travel to?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Which sealant will you use?
The specification comes first, if there is one. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
Is any job too small?
Small jobs are welcome alongside larger packages. Send details for a fixed quote.
Do you do internal caulk as well as external mastic?
Window and door perimeters, internal decorators’ caulk where specified, sanitary joints, kitchens, movement joints and snagging. We price to the specification and drawings.
What about RAMS and site documents?
Requirements differ from site to site, so list what you need, whether RAMS, insurance or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm with the quote.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
Managing asbestos is the dutyholder’s responsibility, so for older buildings we ask for the asbestos register first. If anything suspect turns up, we stop until it’s tested.
Why it’s worth doing now in Storrington
Sealing over damaged or contaminated new joints might save a day, but it won’t last. Sealant can’t grip a contaminated or existing bead. Damaged joints are removed and resealed from clean faces. For buildings in places like Storrington, one well-planned visit beats several small ones, so it’s worth dealing with every failing joint at once.
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.

Construction mastic in Storrington: the local picture
There are a number of hotels within about 2 miles of Storrington. Hotel schemes tend to have fixed reopening dates, so the mastic is programmed tightly with the other trades. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Even so, frost and condensation on steel and glass are common on winter mornings, which is why external dates are agreed with the site manager.
Older buildings in the area around Storrington, such as Parham House, 2 miles west of Storrington, need care when sealed: the product has to suit soft or historic materials. School extensions, at buildings such as Storrington Primary School, usually run to the summer holidays, mastic included. Recladding or extending a unit at a site like Wiston Business Park (to the east of Storrington) brings panel joints and frame perimeters into the programme.

General trades versus a specialist
Some joints are best left to specialists: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
Paperwork matters too. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
Keeping the joints sound
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Pass these on to them:
- Flag uneven or tapered frame gaps early
- Stick to the specified sealant rather than a generic substitute
- Bring the mastic contractor in after the last trades are through
- Record the products used in the O&M file
If a joint is damaged after sealing, flag it early. We can return to clear snags before handover.
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. Proper preparation, with the right silicone first time, keeps it off the defects list.
