Our process
Occupied buildings need a little choreography. The work area is signed and kept contained, keep walkways clear and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use. For a job in Yapton, the main thing is a clear picture of the work, so send photos of each area. You will then get a fixed price for the work.
- First we look at the scope on site or from drawings.
- A fixed quote sets out scope, products and phasing.
- Paperwork is agreed and applicators are inducted on site.
- We seal plot by plot or floor by floor in line with the programme.
- Any frame gaps or issues outside our scope are flagged to the site team.
- Final snagging is completed and the 12-month guarantee applies.
Preparing the site
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Point out parking and an unloading spot

Construction mastic in Yapton, done properly
External mastic depends on the weather in a way most internal trades don’t. 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. We work on window and door perimeters, sanitary and kitchen joints and internal decorators’ caulk, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are different trades sealing to different standards and sanitary sealant damaged by following trades. For commercial sealant work in Yapton, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
In a smaller place such as Yapton, construction tends to mean small housing schemes, conversions and extensions to community buildings. Small schemes still need window perimeters, facade joints and internal sealant done to the specification.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

How the job changes by surface
Snagging before handover
Damaged, missed or untidy joints make up most snag lists. Snagging can be included or priced separately.
Fire-rated sealant where specified
Not every penetration suits a sealant. Other products are used for some services and gaps. Record requirements are agreed with the quote.
Mastic packages on Yapton sites
Yapton lies within about 2 miles of the sea. Schemes this close to the sea see their facade joints tested by wind and rain from the day they’re sealed, which puts weight on correct joint sizing, priming and a sealant suited to the exposure. At about 52 miles from central London, Yapton is within reach of the capital. Construction around the commuter belt mixes station-side flats with refurbished offices and units, and main contractors there need mastic that keeps to the programme.
For a contractor working at a hospital such as Arundel and District Hospital, 3.2 miles to the north-east of Yapton, perimeter and facade sealing is planned around patients and deliveries. University estates such as University of Chichester (Bognor Campus) (to the south-west of Yapton) tend to have a rolling programme of new buildings and refurbishments, each with window perimeters and facade joints to seal. For contractors at a school such as Yapton CE Primary School, sealing has to be finished before term starts.

Yapton: questions and answers
Is Yapton off your patch?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Would you work within a site like Arundel and District Hospital?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Does weather affect external mastic work?
Outside, the joint has to be dry and the temperature within the product’s limits. Frosty or damp mornings can hold up external sealing, so internal areas are often done on those days.
Do you do fire-rated sealing on new builds?
We install fire-rated sealant where it is the specified product, working to the specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance. If the detail calls for collars, wraps or batts instead, we will tell you.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
The duty to manage asbestos sits with the building’s dutyholder, so we’ll ask for the register before work on an older building. Work pauses if suspect material is found, until it has been tested.
Can staff carry on working while you are here?
In the majority of cases, yes. Phased work can be planned so areas stay in use.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance.
Aftercare for building managers
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Ask for joint and product checks before the package is urgent
- Plan external elevations with the weather in mind
- Don’t schedule sealing before decorators and flooring are done
- Protect sealed areas from following trades
Record which products went where in the handover file. Future maintenance is easier when the products are known. Tell us what records you need and we will confirm with the quote.
Sanitary joints that fail early become defects soon after occupation. Water gets behind trays, vanity tops and panels, and the repair falls into the defects period. Getting the product and preparation right first time avoids that.
What affects the price in Yapton
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, since sites vary so much. What we take into account:
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- The size and state of each joint
- Whether the work must be split into stages
There’s no price list, 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.
Sending details for a quote
However big the job, the same details help:
- The postcode of the building
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- Any dates the work must fit around
- The product your specification calls for
We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so you know the figure before anyone is on site. To ask for one, phone 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Some joints are best left to specialists: for example fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint.
Honest limits
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Defective windows, doors or glazing units (the supplier or installer’s job)
- Designing joint widths or choosing the specification (that sits with the designer)
- Rework caused by others damaging completed areas
If in doubt, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think.
