When something else is needed
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Specifying the product where the designer hasn’t
- Defective windows, doors or glazing units (the supplier or installer’s job)
- Rework caused by others damaging completed areas
If you’re not sure, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email us and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Brick and block movement joints
- Floor and skirting junctions
- Cladding and panel joints
- Sanitary and kitchen joints
- Window and door perimeters
- Internal decorators’ caulk
Mastic packages on West Hoathly sites
At about 29 miles from central London, West Hoathly is within reach of the capital. Construction around the commuter belt mixes station-side flats with refurbished offices and units, and each scheme needs its mastic sealed to programme. Rainfall across the South East, West Hoathly included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Even so, frost and condensation on steel and glass are common on winter mornings, so the external programme keeps a little slack.
With historic properties like Priest House, 0.2 miles to the south-west of West Hoathly, in the area, refurbishment work often meets old masonry that needs compatible sealants. For contractors at a school such as West Hoathly CofE Primary School, sealing has to be finished before term starts. New wings at hospitals like Queen Victoria Hospital (4.6 miles north-east of West Hoathly) bring long runs of window and panel joints to seal.
West Hoathly is about 4 miles south-west of East Grinstead, in West Sussex. We cover commercial sites throughout West Hoathly, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.

Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Queen Victoria Hospital?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Can you come in just for snagging?
Yes, we can. Send the snag list or photographs and we’ll price it, with the work timed to your handover date.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
The duty to manage asbestos sits with the building’s dutyholder, so for older buildings we ask for the asbestos register first. If anything suspect turns up, we stop until it’s tested.
When can you be on site?
The office is staffed Monday to Friday, from 8am until 5pm. Tell us your site hours and access windows and the work will be fitted around them.
Do you use the sealant named in the specification?
Specification first, then the maker’s instructions. Preparation, backing and depth follow the product guidance.
Can you handle several sites?
Yes. We take on portfolio and planned maintenance work, with each site phased to suit its occupants.

Advice
Surface by surface
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.
Window and door perimeters
Frames sealed into the opening keep rain out of the reveal. We use the specified perimeter sealant, usually a low-modulus neutral-cure silicone, with backing rod in deeper gaps.

Doing it in-house
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class.
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
