About our mastic sealing in Aldwick
Owners and agents normally inherit a building’s mastic rather than choose it, and it ages quietly: window perimeters, door frames, external joints and communal junctions all rely on it. When it hardens, splits or pulls away, water and draughts follow, and occupiers start reporting it. If you have worn sealant at communal door frames and complaints coming in block by block, we can help. Whoever orders the work in Aldwick, the brief is usually the same: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Converted and older buildings in and around Aldwick often put modern windows into old walls. The mastic there needs to suit both surfaces.
We stand by our work: 12 months, guaranteed. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant, and if something we did falls short, we return to it.

How the quote is worked out
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, because every site is different. What we look at:
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- The product specified
- Working within restricted access windows
- The size and state of each joint
A quote for mastic joints depends on quantities, condition and access. Call for a quote.
Sending details for a quote
There’s no need for a formal survey. A few details are enough to get going:
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- Specification clauses that apply
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
For a fixed quote, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos. Our quote form is another easy route.
When something else is needed
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It isn’t the answer for:
- Materials that need asbestos testing before work
- Misted or failed double-glazed units
- Cracked or crumbling render, brick or stone at the joint edges (we’ll tell you if so)
Not sure which it is? You can speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly.

What else we do in Aldwick
Looking after the joints
Once the work is signed off, these steps help:
- List the paperwork your organisation requires when you send details
- Plan resealing building by building rather than complaint by complaint
- Reduce knocks to communal area joints
- Ask residents or tenants to report leaks and draughts early
If paintable sealant was used, decoration can follow once it has cured. Silicone typically can’t be painted, so keep decorators off it.
One failed perimeter typically means others on the same building are close so a single failure is a sign to check the rest. Doing them together saves going back again and again.
Questions about Aldwick
Our building in Aldwick is near the coast: does that change the sealant?
It can, yes: buildings near the sea take more wind-driven rain, and salt in the air nearer the shore. We choose the product for the exposure, prime where the manufacturer requires it and size the joint for its movement.
Do you cover business parks and estates near Aldwick, such as Durban Road Industrial Estate?
Yes. Our area takes in Aldwick and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Durban Road Industrial Estate included. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Will residents or tenants be disturbed?
Residents and tenants carry on as normal. We flag any areas that need internal access well before the dates so you can arrange it with occupiers.
Which sealant will you use?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
Do you do block-wide mastic programmes?
Block-wide and estate programmes are common. The quote can be split however suits your budgeting.
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. Internal work is far less affected.
Block-wide mastic in Aldwick
With the shore within about 1 mile, Aldwick counts as a coastal location. Sea-facing elevations take driven rain and salt, and their mastic shows it before the sheltered sides do; plan inspections around that. Rainfall across the South East, Aldwick included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. External mastic still waits for dry faces and the right temperature, and elevations facing the sun and the prevailing weather are typically where frame mastic ages first.
Blocks of flats and mixed-use buildings often cluster around stations such as Bognor Regis station (to the east of Aldwick) and their window and balcony mastic tends to age at the same rate across a building. Landlords with units on estates such as Durban Road Industrial Estate, 1.9 miles to the north-east of Aldwick, can bring frame, door and external mastic across several units into one programme. Churches, halls and community buildings such as St Richard’s Church are looked after by trustees and committees like any other owner, and their frames, doors and external joints need mastic renewed in time.

What the job involves on each surface
External movement joints
External movement joints take up expansion and contraction. Once that sealant goes, rain can reach the wall.
Communal areas
We keep entrances and stairs open throughout. Work is planned in sections.
On site: what to expect
We bring the products specified for the job, along with primers and backing rod. Any old material is cut back to clean, sound faces, primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, and the sealant is tooled off neatly. Work in places the size of Aldwick is planned as a single visit where we can. Photos with rough sizes let us arrive with everything needed.
- We check the asbestos register for older buildings and look at the joints.

What happens if it’s left?
Mixed repairs by different contractors leave a patchwork of products and colours. A block-wide reseal gives one product, one colour and one guarantee and one 12-month guarantee. For buildings in places like Aldwick, one well-planned visit beats several small ones, so it’s worth dealing with every failing joint at once.
What a job costs comes down to how many linear metres there are, how much old material needs removing and the access. Call for a quote when you’re ready.
