What affects the price in Strettington
A fixed quote reflects the actual work. It takes account of:
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- The site’s rules and procedures
- The total length or number of joints
- Which sealant the job calls for
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote and we will put a fixed figure on it.
Details that help us quote
Whether it’s one area or a whole building, the same details help:
- The site address and postcode
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
Send us photographs, drawings or a joint schedule and a fixed quote comes back to you. Where a site visit makes more sense, we will arrange one.
Construction mastic in Strettington
Most of the packages we price run well beyond frames: frame perimeters inside and out, caulking to trims and boards where the specification calls for it, sanitary silicone, kitchens, and the final snag list. One contractor for all of it keeps the responsibility in one place and gives you a consistent finish across the job. If you’re dealing with window and door perimeters that won’t pass inspection and oversized or tapered gaps around new frames, we can help. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Strettington? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005.
Conversions of older rural buildings near smaller places such as Strettington bring stone, flint, brick and timber up against new glazing. Those joints need a sealant that suits an uneven, sometimes porous surface, and often a colour chosen for the building.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

Why act early in Strettington
It helps to bring the mastic subcontractor in before the package is urgent. Early involvement means gaps, products and access are sorted before the programme bites, which avoids last-minute problems. Leave it late and they turn up on the snag list. Older rural buildings around Strettington move with the seasons, and rigid or tired sealant can’t keep up. A sealant with the right movement capability, correctly sized, lasts far better.
The specified product makes a difference, as does the preparation each joint needs, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
Why us?
- Work to your specification and the manufacturer’s guidance
- Fully insured, including public liability cover
- Clear, fixed quotes
- Standard and matched colours in many product ranges

Contractors’ notes for Strettington
Central London is about 52 miles from Strettington. Building activity in the commuter belt runs from new flats near stations to business park refurbishments, so mastic packages have to keep pace with busy programmes. Strettington sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Still, external mastic needs dry faces within the maker’s temperature limits, which isn’t every day, so external mastic is timed for workable conditions and agreed with the site manager.
Projects at schools like Boxgrove CofE Primary School work to term dates, so mastic is programmed tightly. Hotel extensions and refits, at places such as The Goodwood Hotel, which lies north of Strettington, normally run between busy periods, so the sealing is squeezed into short windows.

Advice
Honest limits
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. These need a different solution:
- 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 give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Cladding and panel joints
- Brick and block movement joints
- Sanitary and kitchen joints
- Window and door perimeters
- Floor and skirting junctions
- Internal decorators’ caulk
Do you need construction mastic in Strettington?
Frames installed with uneven gaps make perimeter sealing harder. Sealant has a range of joint widths it can cope with. Better to raise it at the start than seal a joint that’s bound to fail.
Things that typically lead to an enquiry:
- Bath and shower joints scraped during the final clean
- Different trades sealing to different standards
- New external sealant already peeling away
- Caulk cracking where joints are moving more than expected
For contractors refurbishing units at places like Temple Bar Business Park, which lies south of Strettington, the mastic covers cladding panels, roller-door and window perimeters.

Different surfaces, different methods
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 while moving joints need a flexible sealant.
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.
Your questions answered
Can you work at a site such as Temple Bar Business Park, by Strettington?
Yes, sites like Temple Bar Business Park are within our area, along with the rest of Strettington. To start, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email us with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Can work at a site such as University of Chichester fit around teaching?
Yes. Tell us the term dates, vacation periods and access windows, and we’ll plan the work around them. Tell us which site documents you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate or CSCS details, and they’re confirmed with the quote.
Is the mastic package guaranteed?
It carries a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. We are also fully insured for public liability.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so everything comes out first.
Will you quote for a small job?
Whatever the size, the process is the same: details, then a fixed price, then sealing, then a 12-month guarantee.
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.
When can you be on site?
We are in the office from 8am until 5pm, Monday to Friday. Let us know your site hours and access windows, and the work will be planned around them.
