FAQs: Thakeham
Is Thakeham too far out for you?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Can the mastic package for our job in Thakeham follow the site programme?
Yes. Send the programme and drawings, and we’ll plan the mastic to suit the stages. Any paperwork you need, from RAMS to our insurance certificate and CSCS details, is confirmed with the quote.
Which sealant do you use on facades?
The product follows the joint’s movement, the surfaces and the specification. Specifications often refer to BS EN 15651-1 for facade sealants or BS EN 15651-2 for glazing and we follow the specified product.
Are you CHAS accredited?
Yes. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
Can staff carry on working while you’re here?
Yes, with some planning. We agree a sequence with your contact so just one area at a time is disrupted.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
Can the sealant be colour-matched?
Often, yes. Sealants are made in a wide range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or nearby finishes is commonly requested. We confirm what’s available for the specified product when we quote.
Facade sealing in Thakeham
Every facade quote starts with how the joints will be reached. Let us know what access exists or is planned, and any site rules we need to work around, so the price covers the real job. If you have hard, chalky sealant that no longer flexes and gaps between rainscreen or cladding panels, we can help, whatever the surface. Most enquiries from Thakeham start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Conversions of older rural buildings near smaller places such as Thakeham bring stone, flint, brick and timber up against new glazing. A product that grips an irregular face, with a colour that suits the building’s character, is typically what’s needed.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: preparation, application and finish. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

Aftercare for building managers
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. We suggest:
- Clear debris that holds water against joints
- Don’t wait for a second leak before calling
- Walk the elevations once or twice a year
- Confirm the survey covers external sealants in older buildings
Anything drilled through a facade joint breaks the seal. Ask the installer to reseal it properly using a matching sealant.
Coordinate facade sealing with other external works. Sharing the access keeps the cost down and cuts time on site.
Sites and facades in and around Thakeham
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. That doesn’t stop wet spells, or frosty starts that leave panels too damp to seal, which is why external dates are agreed with the site manager. The area within 2 miles of Thakeham holds a number of hotels. When hotels extend or refit, the work is normally squeezed between peak periods, mastic included.
With historic properties like Parham House, 3.6 miles south-west of Thakeham, in the area, refurbishment work often meets old masonry that needs compatible sealants. School extensions, at buildings such as Rydon Community College, normally run to the summer holidays, mastic included.
Thakeham is about 8 miles north of Worthing, in West Sussex. We send applicators to Thakeham for facade joints, handled exactly as we handle every other area. Our West Sussex coverage takes in 373 places. For work in that direction, see our Brighton page (15 miles or so).
Business premises anywhere in RH20 are within our area for facade joints. For a building on The Street, Bramble Lane and Cray's Lane or nearby, we can quote for facade joints. We also cover Abingworth (1 mile south-west), Warminghurst (1 mile south-east), Goose Green (1 mile north-east), West Chiltington (1 mile north-west) and Heath Common (1 mile south) for facade joints. A short drive away, we cover Crawley (15 miles north-east), Horsham (9 miles north-east), Worthing (8 miles south), Haywards Heath (15 miles east), Burgess Hill (13 miles east) and Littlehampton (10 miles south-west).

Surface by surface
Render and coated surfaces
Paintable sealants exist for joints that will be coated. We confirm the product with you before starting.
Precast concrete panels
Joints between precast panels carry real movement. A sealant of the right movement class goes in over backing rod, primed where the maker specifies.
Why it’s worth doing now in Thakeham
Resealing a few window perimeters is a small job; repairing water-damaged interiors and fixings is not. Water through a failed joint rarely stays where it starts. Around Thakeham, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits, along with the time of year for external work.
Why us?
- Clear, fixed quotes
- RAL and finish matching where the product range allows
- A Constructionline member, so easy to vet
- Coloured sealants to suit the setting, where available

Work for main contractors and building owners
Building owners and managing agents use us on everything from one building to a spread of sites around Thakeham. One quote can cover more than one site, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.
Agents, factors and owners’ representatives all follow the same route: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed. We can agree access arrangements and keyholder contacts beforehand.
Common problems we fix in Thakeham
Not every failure is in the sealant: crumbling render, spalling concrete or flaking paint take the sealant with them. When the joint edges need repair first, we say so.
Things that usually lead to an enquiry:
- Staining on stone next to old sealant
- Previous reseals run over old sealant
- Weathered joints at frame-to-structure perimeters
- Cladding panel joints that have opened up
For contractors refurbishing units at places like Crays Court (business park), which lies north-east of Thakeham, the mastic covers cladding panels, roller-door and window perimeters.

Our process
In a busy building, the work is phased so only one area is out of use at a time. Each area is protected, prepared and sealed, then handed back before the next one starts. Rural sites near Thakeham may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Add it to your enquiry and we will build it into the plan.
- First we review photographs, drawings or what we saw on a visit, and agree how each joint will be reached.
- Failed sealant is cut out along its full length.
- Joint faces are cleaned to firm, sound material, with primer where the sealant maker specifies it.
- Closed-cell rod fixes the depth, and the sealant grips two sides only.
- The new sealant goes in and is tooled firmly onto both faces.
- The completed runs are checked with you, then the 12-month guarantee applies.
Getting the site ready
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
Getting a fixed quote
Send us photos, drawings or a joint schedule are often enough for a fixed quote. Where a site visit makes more sense, we’ll arrange one.
