Facades, frames and programmes in Wick
Wick is within about 2 miles of the coast. On a coastal site, facade and perimeter joints face driven rain and, closer to the beach, salt, which puts weight on correct joint sizing, priming and a sealant suited to the exposure. A 2-mile radius around Wick takes in a number of hotels. When hotels extend or refit, the work is typically squeezed between peak periods, mastic included.
Projects at schools like Lyminster Primary School work to term dates, so mastic is programmed tightly. For a contractor at a hotel such as Victoria Hotel, 1 mile to the south-east of Wick, the mastic often has to be finished before a reopening date. New wings at hospitals like Zachary Merton Hospital (2.3 miles south-east of Wick) bring long runs of window and panel joints to seal.
Wick is about 1 mile north-west of Littlehampton, in West Sussex. We cover Wick and the rest of West Sussex, with the same fixed quotes and 12-month guarantee as everywhere else. Across West Sussex, 373 places are covered, including Wick. There’s a separate page for Brighton, about 18 miles away.
Anyone looking for construction mastic in BN17 gets the same process as the rest of our area: details, then a fixed price, then sealing and a 12-month guarantee. Among the streets we cover are Joyce Close, Willow Brook and Wheatcroft. You’ll find Wick on or near the B2284, so getting applicators and materials to site is simple.

Nearby towns on our patch include Worthing (7 miles east), Bognor Regis (6 miles west), Chichester (10 miles west), Selsey (12 miles south-west), Shoreham-by-Sea (12 miles east) and Lancing (10 miles east).

How we handle construction mastic in Wick
Buyers, tenants and clients notice sealant lines long before they notice the structure. Untidy or missed joints are among the commonest snag items. Our aim is joints that pass at the first inspection, area by area through the programme. We work on floor and skirting junctions, window and door perimeters and internal decorators’ caulk, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are internal caulk splitting as the building dries out and a mastic package split between trades with no clear owner. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Wick first comes to us: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
On a small site around Wick, the mastic is best done in the fewest visits we can manage. Tell us when scaffold comes down and when decoration finishes, and we will plan around those stages.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: twelve months on the work we carried out. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

What else we do in Wick
What we can’t put right
A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. You’ll hear from us if the cause turns out to be one of these:
- Joint design decisions that belong to the architect or engineer
- Oversized gaps that need packing or adjustment by others
- Fire-stopping design or sign-off (that’s for the designer, fire engineer and building control)
If you’re not sure, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will give you a straight answer.
Where we work in Wick
- Floor and skirting junctions
- Brick and block movement joints
- Window and door perimeters
- Internal decorators’ caulk
- Cladding and panel joints
- Sanitary and kitchen joints
Quoting for work in Wick
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, since sites vary so much. What we take into account:
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- The total length or number of joints
- Any access equipment needed
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
There’s no price list, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. Call for a quote.
What we need to price the job
A few photographs plus some basic facts will normally do. It helps to include:
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- The postcode of the building
- Clear photographs of the problem areas
Need a figure for a tender or a budget? Send the scope and any drawings, and we’ll return a fixed quote you can plan around. If you have questions first, phone 01277 525 020 or email us.
How the job changes by surface
Kitchens and utility areas
Kitchen joints are sealed after fitting and before final clean. A kitchen-suitable sealant is used and hygienic or food-safe grades wherever food contact is possible.
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’ll tell you if the detail calls for something else. Record requirements are agreed with the quote.
Why act early in Wick
Sealing over damaged or contaminated new joints might save a day, but it rarely lasts. New sealant laid on old or dirty sealant has nothing to bond to, and the defect comes back after handover. We cut out and redo the joint properly. In a smaller place such as Wick, 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.
The product called for affects the cost, as does the preparation each joint needs. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
What you get with us
- Commercial sealant work since 2005
- 12-month guarantee on workmanship
- Products installed to the manufacturer’s instructions
- Fully insured, including public liability cover

Owners, agents and contractors
Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients come to us directly as well. We plan around the way the building is used, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.
Agents, factors and owners’ representatives all follow the same route: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed. Keys, access and contacts can be agreed in advance.
Questions we are asked in Wick
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Zachary Merton Hospital?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Does the sea air around Wick change the choice of sealant?
It can. Coastal exposure works external joints harder than inland weather. Product choice and preparation matter more, and sea-facing elevations are worth inspecting more often.
Do you offer coloured sealant?
That depends on the product specified. Some ranges offer many colours, others very few, so we’ll confirm the colours available for the specified product with the quote.
Do you work in Wick?
Yes. Sites across Wick are covered, with one number for every area we cover.
Do you need to see the site first?
That depends on the size and complexity of the job. Simple work can often be priced from photos, while larger or less clear jobs get a site visit first.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
It can, when the joints are outside. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Internal work is far less affected.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
Inspect, seal, sign off: every visit follows that pattern. First comes an inspection and agreement on scope, then we prepare and seal each joint with the specified product, and the job ends with a walk round and sign-off. For a job in Wick, the main thing is a clear picture of the work, so send photos of each area. A fixed quote follows.
- Drawings, specification and programme come to us.
- Quantities are measured and a fixed price returned.
- We agree with the site team which areas come first.
- Plots or floors are sealed as they’re handed over.
- Every joint is cleaned, set to depth and sealed with the specified product.
- After snagging, the work is handed over under our 12-month guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- Tell staff and tenants when we’ll be in
Request a quote
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we will price the work to it. For smaller jobs, photos and a description will do.
