Owners, agents and contractors
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.
As a CHAS accredited contractor and Constructionline member, we make supplier vetting simple. Our insurance certificate can be sent along with the quote.
Construction mastic in West Blatchington
Perimeter sealing outside needs a dry joint and the right temperature. Cold or damp mornings, frost and condensation on frames can all hold external sealing up, so we plan elevations with the forecast and the programme in mind. Internal sealing often fills those days. If you have frame gaps too wide for sealant alone and missed perimeter joints on a new elevation, we can put it right. Whoever orders the work in West Blatchington, the brief is normally the same: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
On a small site around West Blatchington, the mastic is best done in the fewest visits we can manage. Let us know the key stages and we’ll time the work so nothing waits on us.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

When something else is needed
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- Damage to finishes by other trades after we have sealed
- Specifying the product where the designer hasn’t
- Approving fire stopping as compliant
If in doubt, call the office on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on

Different surfaces, different methods
Snagging before handover
Snags usually come from damage by following trades, missed joints or poor earlier work. We price snagging as part of the package or as a separate visit, depending on what suits the programme.
Fire-rated sealant where specified
Fire-rated sealant is one type of fire-stopping product. Other products are used for some services and gaps, and we will tell you if the detail calls for something else. Record requirements are agreed with the quote.
Questions we are asked in West Blatchington
Can you work around term dates at a campus such as University of Brighton Moulesecoomb Campus?
Yes, holiday working periods are the norm on campus jobs. Tell us which site documents you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate or CSCS details, and they’re confirmed with the quote.
Does a coastal location like West Blatchington affect which sealant is used?
It can. Driven rain and salt are tougher on outside sealant than sheltered inland conditions. We check the specified product suits the exposure and pay close attention to preparation.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Our applicators hold CSCS cards, and we are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member. We are also fully insured, with five million pounds of public liability cover.
Does the weather affect the work?
It can, when the joints are outside. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
Do you offer coloured sealant?
That depends on the product. Some ranges are wide, others limited, so we’ll confirm the colours available for the specified product with the quote.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance, and any queries are raised before we start.
Can you work while the building is occupied?
Yes, as long as we plan it. We agree a sequence with your contact so just one area at a time is disrupted.
Quoting for work in West Blatchington
The price varies from site to site. Expect it to depend on:
- How accessible the joints are
- How much existing material needs removing
- How much there is to seal
- Which sealant the job calls for
The work involved drives the cost: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a fixed quote.
What we need to price the job
To price the job accurately, we need to understand the site. Useful things to include:
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- The postcode of the building
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it. For smaller jobs, photos and a description will do.
Facades, frames and programmes in West Blatchington
West Blatchington lies within about 2 miles of the sea. Facades and window perimeters on coastal schemes take more wind-driven rain, and salt air nearer the shore, which puts weight on correct joint sizing, priming and a sealant suited to the exposure. Rainfall across the South East, West Blatchington included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Winter mornings still bring frost and condensation on frames and panels, so we time external mastic for dry faces and agree it with the site team.
For contractors at a college like Varndean College, 1.6 miles east of West Blatchington, perimeters and internal sealant are timed for the holidays. For contractors on a campus like University of Brighton Moulesecoomb Campus, 2.6 miles to the east of West Blatchington, facade and perimeter sealing has to fit around students and term dates. For a contractor working at a hospital such as Mill View Hospital, 0.5 miles south-west of West Blatchington, perimeter and facade sealing is planned around patients and deliveries.

Keeping the joints sound
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Share these points with them:
- Bring the mastic contractor in after the last trades are through
- Put any product change through the designer first
- Check frame gaps are within the sealant’s range before sealing
- Ask for joint and product checks before the package is urgent
Once an area is sealed, protect it from following trades. Fresh sealant needs its cure time before it’s cleaned, painted near or knocked; we confirm the time for each product.
Snag items left to the last week put handover at risk. A planned close-out through each area as it completes keeps the list short and keeps handover on track.
