Questions we’re asked in The Pound
Will you fit the mastic around our build programme in The Pound?
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 The Pound too small for you to travel to?
Not at all. The Pound is within our area. We work across Greater London and the South East. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
When is resealing likely to be due?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
What site paperwork can you supply?
Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote.
Can staff carry on working while you’re here?
Yes, as long as we plan it. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them.
How do I request a quote?
The quote form is the simplest route, though you can also ring 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos. Include photos or drawings if you have them.
Do you install fire-rated sealant as part of a package?
We install fire-rated sealant where it is the specified product. We’ll flag if the detail needs a different product.
Construction mastic in The Pound
Most of the packages we price run well beyond frames: external door and window perimeters, internal decorators’ caulk where specified, sanitary joints in bathrooms and washrooms, kitchen worktops and splashbacks, and snagging before handover. Splitting those between trades often leaves gaps in responsibility. We work on internal decorators’ caulk, brick and block movement joints and window and door perimeters, and the failures we are asked to look at most are old sealant on a refurbishment that needs stripping before new work and bath and shower joints scraped during the final clean. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: in The Pound, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Sites around smaller places like The Pound can be a fair drive from suppliers, so we come with everything the package needs. Send drawings or photos and the programme and we’ll quote to suit.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and the quote explains what it covers.

When it isn’t the sealant
Part of a good diagnosis is knowing where sealant stops. You’ll hear from us if the cause turns out to be any of the following:
- Defective windows, doors or glazing units (the supplier or installer’s job)
- Damage to finishes by other trades after we’ve sealed
- Joint design decisions that belong to the architect or engineer
If in doubt, phone 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we’ll say what we think.

Construction mastic in The Pound: the local picture
Central London is about 46 miles from The Pound. Towns within reach of London tend to keep building, from flats to offices and schools, and main contractors there need mastic that keeps to the programme. The Pound sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Winter mornings still bring frost and condensation on frames and panels, so external mastic is timed for workable conditions and agreed with the site manager.
New wings at hospitals like Bexhill Hospital, 5.2 miles to the south-east of The Pound, bring long runs of window and panel joints to seal.
The Pound is about 5 miles north-west of Bexhill-on-Sea, in East Sussex. Commercial clients in The Pound use us for work on mastic packages. The Pound is one of 308 places we cover in East Sussex. Our Brighton page has more on work in that area, about 23 miles away.
Postcode districts covered here: TN33. We cover commercial and managed buildings on Church Road and Linghams Lane. We also cover Ashburnham (1 mile north), Brownbread Street (1 mile north-west), Bodle Street Green (2 miles west), Wood's Corner (3 miles north) and Trolliloes (3 miles west) for mastic packages. Bigger towns within reach include Eastbourne (9 miles south-west), Hastings (8 miles east), Bexhill-on-Sea (5 miles south-east), Seaford (15 miles south-west), Hailsham (7 miles south-west) and Crowborough (14 miles north-west).

Should maintenance staff do it?
There’s also the paperwork. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but larger jobs are different: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.

Advice
Do you need construction mastic in The Pound?
Most mastic snags on new buildings come from sequencing rather than product. If sealant goes in before the last trades are through, it gets knocked, painted over or contaminated, so they end up back on the snag list.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- Oversized or tapered gaps around new frames
- External joints sealed in damp or cold conditions that are now failing
- Mastic snags holding up handover
- Sanitary sealant damaged by following trades
Sites around The Pound get mastic sealed to the drawings and the programme, nothing improvised.
