From enquiry to sign-off
We follow your site rules from the start: sign-in, induction and whatever permit system the building uses. Once we’re cleared to begin, the joints are worked through in the order agreed with your site contact. For work around Apuldram, we aim to finish in one visit, so we ask for photos and rough sizes first. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- Each block or building is walked and the failed joints recorded with the likely cause.
- You get a fixed quote, priced per building where that helps your budgeting.
- Dates, areas and access are agreed so residents or tenants can be told in advance.
- We remove the old mastic completely and clean the joint faces back.
- Backing rod and primer go in as the joint requires, then the new bead is placed and tooled.
- Each building is checked on completion and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
What we need from you
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs

Mastic sealing for commercial buildings in Apuldram
For over 20 years we have resealed joints for owners, agents and landlords. Our applicators are CSCS-carded, and the work is backed by public liability insurance. Each building we complete carries a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. Site teams most often ask us about old repairs sealed over failed mastic and occupiers reporting cold air round windows, across communal kitchens and washrooms, balcony and threshold joints and window and door perimeters on blocks. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Apuldram first comes to us: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
Rural conversions near places like Apuldram often set modern frames into older stone, flint or brick. Perimeter mastic there has to grip an uneven face and suit the building’s character.
Work we carry out comes with a 12-month guarantee. Should something we installed fail, phone 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll come back to it.

Common problems we fix in Apuldram
Many failed joints were sealed without backing rod, so the mastic is glued to the joint bottom too. It can’t stretch properly and it tears.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Window mastic that has split and shrunk
- Water getting in round frames after rain
- Old repairs sealed over failed mastic
- Open joints in brickwork or panels
Property owners at sites such as Terminus Industrial Estate (0.9 miles north-east of Apuldram) can have mastic renewed between lettings.

Mastic sealing in Apuldram: the local picture
The sea is no more than about 3 miles from Apuldram. Sea-facing elevations take driven rain and salt, and their mastic shows it before the sheltered sides do; plan inspections around that. Apuldram sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Outside mastic still needs a dry joint and the right temperature, and the sunniest, most exposed sides of a building usually need attention first.
Student accommodation around universities such as University of Chichester, 2.1 miles north-east of Apuldram, is normally managed block by block, which suits a planned mastic programme. Churches, halls and community buildings such as The Parish Church of St Mary are looked after by trustees and committees like any other owner, and their frames, doors and external joints need mastic renewed in time.
Apuldram is about 2 miles south-west of Chichester, in West Sussex. We cover commercial sites throughout Apuldram, whether it’s a single job or part of a planned programme. We work across 373 places in West Sussex, from busy centres to rural villages. There’s a separate page for Portsmouth, about 12 miles away.
Commercial sites across PO20 and PO19 are covered. If your site is on Dell Quay Road, Appledram Lane South and Donnington Park or close by, we can quote for mastic joints. Nearby places we also cover include Fishbourne (1 mile north), Bosham Hoe (2 miles west), Broadbridge (2 miles north-west), Bosham (2 miles west) and West Itchenor (3 miles south-west). Further afield, our area takes in Bognor Regis (6 miles south-east), Selsey (6 miles south), Littlehampton (12 miles east), Rustington (13 miles east), Angmering (14 miles east) and Yapton (8 miles east).
Around Apuldram
We work on buildings around The Black Horse Public House, The Prebendal School and Bishop Luffa School. The nearest railway station is Chichester station, roughly 1.2 miles north-east of the centre. A little further out are Chichester Castle (1.8 miles north-east) and St Richard's Hospital (2.1 miles north-east). Not far away are Stoke Down and Nutborne Marshes.
What sealant work can’t fix
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- Masonry that has broken away beside the joint
- Leaks through the frame itself rather than the perimeter
- Old mastic suspected of containing asbestos, which must be tested and dealt with by a specialist first
If you’re not sure, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will give you a straight answer.
What we seal
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
- External wall and movement joints
- Balcony and threshold joints
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
Different surfaces, different methods
Commercial and mixed-use buildings
Mixed-use buildings combine shops below with flats or offices above, so phasing has to suit both. We plan around the site hours and access windows you give us.
Planned maintenance
We can work into your cyclical maintenance plan on a timetable you set.
Commercial clients in Apuldram
We work for building owners and managing agents on sealant work across single buildings or whole portfolios around Apuldram. Several sites can go on one quote, which keeps the paperwork simple.
FMs need a contractor who is easy to get on site. Tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm with the quote.
Looking after the joints
Once the work is signed off, these steps help:
- Encourage occupiers to report problems at frames
- Keep bins and bikes away from communal door frames
- List the paperwork your organisation requires when you send details
- Log resealing dates block by block
Encourage occupiers to report water or draughts at frames. Early reports catch failures before damage spreads.
One failed perimeter typically means others on the same building are close, so it pays to look at the whole elevation. Doing them together saves going back again and again.
Your questions answered
Do you cover business parks and estates near Apuldram, such as Terminus Industrial Estate?
Yes, sites like Terminus Industrial Estate are within our area, along with the rest of Apuldram. To start, just ring 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Is a smaller place like Apuldram outside your area?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. London and every South East county are within our area. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Do you need to see the site first?
That depends on the size and complexity of the job. Straightforward work can often be priced from photographs and measurements, and bigger or more complex jobs normally get a visit.
Do you work with property factors and landlords?
Yes. Managing agents, property factors in Scotland, housing associations and landlords with block or commercial portfolios are our main clients for this work, and we quote building by building or as a programme.
How long does a job like this take?
The duration is planned around your programme and the access we are given. You will have an expected duration with the quote.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to.
When can the area be used after sealing?
The product and site conditions decide that. Some products skin over quickly but need longer to cure fully, so we will confirm the curing time on the day.
