Construction mastic for businesses in Tangmere

Send drawings, photos or a joint schedule, or tell us about the site, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Construction mastic in Tangmere, done properly

Since 2005 we’ve worked alongside main contractors, developers and fit-out firms. We price from drawings and the specification, agree the sequence with the site team and seal as areas are released. To price a package in Tangmere, send drawings and the specification through our quote form. If you are dealing with bath and shower joints scraped during the final clean and frame perimeters left unsealed or poorly sealed, we can put it right. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in Tangmere, preparation and product choice get the time they need.

For a contractor on a smaller site near Tangmere, 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.

Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months, in Tangmere as everywhere else we work. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

How the quote is worked out

Quotes vary with the job. Expect it to depend on:

  • How much existing material needs removing
  • How accessible the joints are
  • Site requirements such as inductions and permits
  • Distance, for remote addresses

The price depends on the quantity of joints, how much old material needs removing and how the joints are reached. Call for a quote when you’re ready.

What we need to price the job

However big the job, the same details help:

  • The site address and postcode
  • Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
  • Asbestos survey details if the building is older
  • Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available

Quotes are fixed against the scope you send, so the cost is agreed before work starts. To ask for one, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.

Building activity in the commuter belt runs from new flats near stations to business park refurbishments, and each scheme needs its mastic sealed to programme.

New wings at hospitals like St Richard's Hospital (to the west of Tangmere) bring long runs of window and panel joints to seal. Work at a hotel such as The Richmond Arms Hotel (1.4 miles north-west of Tangmere) tends to be programmed around bookings, mastic included. For contractors at a school such as Tangmere Primary Academy, sealing has to be finished before term starts.

Work for main contractors and building owners

Building owners and managing agents use us on sealant work across single buildings or whole portfolios. Several sites can go on one quote, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.

Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients book us directly too. The work is planned around how the building runs, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.

FAQs: Tangmere

Is Tangmere too small for you to travel to?

Not at all. Tangmere is within our area. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.

Will you take on work at estates like Chichester Business Park., close to Tangmere?

Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Tangmere, Chichester Business Park. Among them, are all within reach. A few photos and the unit address let us price the work.

Is the mastic package guaranteed?

Our workmanship carries a 12-month guarantee from sign-off. The guarantee covers our work, not later damage by other trades.

How long does a job like this take?

That varies with the scale of the job, though a typical visit usually takes anything from a day of snagging to several weeks of plot-by-plot sealing on a phased scheme. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we’ll give you a timescale with the quote.

Do you take on mastic snagging only?

Yes. Send the snag list or photographs and we will price it, then clear it to your programme.

How long will the new sealant last?

It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.

What joints do you seal on a new build?

It depends on the specification, but most packages include frame perimeters, sanitary and kitchen joints, caulking where specified and a snagging pass.

Aftercare for building managers

Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. In particular:

  • Put any product change through the designer first
  • Allow flexibility for external sealing in damp or cold weather
  • Check frame gaps are within the sealant’s range before sealing
  • Keep scrapers and abrasive pads off new beads

If a joint is damaged after sealing, flag it early. Snags can be picked up in a planned close-out visit.

Leaving the mastic snag list to the end squeezes everyone. Clearing snags area by area spreads the work out and keeps handover on track.

What happens if it’s left?

Patching snags as they appear can feel quicker than a proper close-out. But one planned snagging pass through each area normally clears more for less disruption and saves applicators coming back again and again. Snagging can be priced as a separate stage. In a smaller place such as Tangmere, getting a contractor back for a second visit takes time, so we’d suggest renewing all the joints that are going, not just the worst.

Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well.

  • One contact handling all your sites

Read our cost guide or our accreditations and insurance.

Should maintenance staff do it?

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. Getting these wrong usually costs more in the end than doing them right.

A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. The usual problems come from preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.

How a job runs

Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: masking tape along the joint edges and sheeting over anything nearby. The work itself normally takes anything from a day of snagging to several weeks of plot-by-plot sealing on a phased scheme, and our waste is bagged and taken away as we go. What matters most for a job in Tangmere is a clear list of what needs doing, so send photos of each area. You’ll then get a fixed price for the work.

  1. First we take quantities off the drawings and read through the specification.
  2. A fixed quote sets out the scope, the products and the sequence.
  3. You tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we confirm it with the quote.
  4. We seal each plot or floor as it’s released to us.
  5. Every joint is prepared, set to depth and sealed with the specified product.
  6. Snags are cleared before handover and completed areas carry our 12-month guarantee.

Preparing the site

  • Share the asbestos register for older buildings
  • Point out any areas we must not close
  • Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
