From enquiry to sign-off

For work around Tortington, we aim to finish in one visit, so we ask for photos and rough sizes first. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- We start with the drawings, specification and programme.
- Quantities are measured and a fixed price returned.
- The sequence is agreed with the site manager.

Construction mastic for commercial buildings in Tortington
Mastic is often where a new building first shows its quality to the client. Untidy or missed joints are among the commonest snag items and clearing them late eats into the handover window. Our aim is joints that pass at the first inspection, whatever the size of the scheme. The enquiries we see most involve external joints sealed in damp or cold conditions that are now failing and bath and shower joints scraped during the final clean, across floor and skirting junctions, internal decorators’ caulk and sanitary and kitchen joints. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, in Tortington it comes down to the same thing: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Sites around smaller places like Tortington can be a fair drive from suppliers, so we come with everything the package needs. Drawings, photographs and the programme let us give a fixed quote.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we’re clear about what is covered before work starts.

For managing agents and facilities managers
Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
When you manage a building on behalf of an owner, you need clear quotes and clear reporting. We quote a fixed sum, confirm the scope and walk the finished work with you or your representative, plus a 12-month guarantee.
What we can’t put right
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Fire-stopping design or sign-off (that’s for the designer, fire engineer and building control)
- Rework caused by others damaging completed areas
- Designing joint widths or choosing the specification (that sits with the designer)
If in doubt, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will say what we think.
What we seal
- Internal decorators’ caulk
- Floor and skirting junctions
- Brick and block movement joints
- Cladding and panel joints
- Window and door perimeters
- Sanitary and kitchen joints
Construction mastic around Tortington: what changes locally
With the shore within about 3 miles, Tortington counts as a coastal location. Coastal exposure means perimeter and cladding joints work harder than on an inland job, so joint design, primers and product choice deserve extra care. Several hotels sit less than 2 miles from Tortington. Hotel refurbishments often run to tight programmes between busy periods, and perimeter and sanitary sealant has to keep up.
With historic properties like Ecclesden Manor, 4.7 miles to the east of Tortington, in the area, refurbishment work often meets old masonry that needs compatible sealants. School extensions, at buildings such as Arundel CofE Primary School, normally run to the summer holidays, mastic included. For contractors on a campus like University of Chichester (Bognor Campus), which lies south-west of Tortington, facade and perimeter sealing has to fit around students and term dates.
Tortington is about 3 miles north-west of Littlehampton, in West Sussex. Across the BN18 postcode area, the process is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed. Across West Sussex, 373 places are covered, including Tortington. Brighton is covered too, some 19 miles away.

Questions about Tortington
Does the sea air around Tortington change the choice of sealant?
It can, yes: buildings near the sea take more wind-driven rain, and salt in the air nearer the shore. Product choice and preparation matter more, and sea-facing elevations are worth inspecting more often.
Do you cover business parks and estates near Tortington, such as Ford Airfield Industrial Estate?
Yes. Our area takes in Tortington and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Ford Airfield Industrial Estate included. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Do you guarantee new-build sealant work?
It carries a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. We carry five million pounds of public liability insurance.
Can you work while the building is occupied?
Yes, with some planning. We agree a sequence with your contact so just one area at a time is disrupted.
Do you take on multi-site work?
Yes. We take on portfolio and planned maintenance work, planned site by site to suit how each building is used.
How do you work with the site programme?
We follow the trades through the building. Each plot, floor or elevation is sealed when it’s ready.
What’s the quickest route to a quote?
The quote form is the simplest route, though you can also ring 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings. Photos, drawings or a joint schedule help us quote quickly.

What else we do in Tortington
Cost factors for mastic packages
Your fixed quote is built from the real scope. It takes account of:
- How much existing material needs removing
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- Access and working height
The price depends on the quantity of joints, what has to come out first and how the joints are reached. Call for a fixed quote when you are ready.
What to include in your enquiry
Diagnosis starts before we arrive. Let us know:
- Specification clauses that apply
- Access details, including height
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- What the building is and how it’s used
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photos and a few notes.
How the job changes by surface
External facade and movement joints
Brickwork, blockwork and panel movement joints need a sealant with the right movement capability. Depth is controlled with backing rod so the bead bonds to two sides only.
Window and door perimeters
A frame gap that’s too wide can’t just be filled with sealant. Gaps outside the product’s range are raised with the site team.
Why deal with it now?
Some packages split mastic across the window fitter, kitchen fitter and plumber. In practice it often means different standards, gaps in responsibility and snags nobody owns. A single mastic package gives one point of responsibility and a consistent finish. Converted and older buildings near places like Tortington tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. A sealant with the right movement capability, correctly sized, lasts far better.
We don’t publish prices, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. Call for a quote and we will price your job on its own details.
