About our mastic sealing in Avisford
Before work starts, most agents and landlords want the documents in order. For documents, tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, with public liability insurance. If you have communal area joints that look neglected and leaks at window and door perimeters, we can put it right. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: in Avisford, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Rural conversions near places like Avisford 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.
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.

Doing it in-house
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class, which is what makes a joint last.
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
Frames, entrances and external joints in Avisford
At about 50 miles from central London, Avisford is within reach of the capital. Managed blocks of flats are a big part of commuter-belt property. Avisford sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Even so, frame mastic only goes on in dry, workable conditions, and elevations facing the sun and the prevailing weather are typically where frame mastic ages first.
Student accommodation around universities such as University of Chichester (Bognor Campus), 4.7 miles south-west of Avisford, is usually managed block by block, which suits a planned mastic programme. If you look after a block within reach of Barnham station, which lies south-west of Avisford, frame and balcony mastic can be renewed on one programme.

When to call us in Avisford
Poor preparation explains many failed joints. Without clean, sound faces and a primer where the product needs one, the bead peels off one side.
Look out for the following:
- Complaints coming in block by block
- Damp patches beside frames
- The same joint failures repeated across a portfolio
- Window mastic that has split and shrunk
For owners of several units at places like Tokar Industrial Park, which lies south of Avisford, one programme can deal with frame and external mastic across the lot.
What to look for in a quote

How the job changes by surface
Commercial and mixed-use buildings
Where retail and residential share a building, so phasing has to suit both. We plan around the site hours and access windows you give us.
Communal areas
Communal entrances, stairwells and corridors have joints at door frames, screens, skirting and floor edges. Tidy, sound joints keep them looking cared for.
Work for main contractors and building owners
Building owners and managing agents use us on sealant work across single buildings or whole portfolios around Avisford. One quote can cover more than one site, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. We phase the work so people keep access, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
Questions we are asked in Avisford
Is Avisford too small for you to travel to?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. London and every South East county are within our area. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Is Tokar Industrial Park, near Avisford, within your area?
Yes. Our area takes in Avisford and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Tokar Industrial Park included. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No, never. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so it all comes out first.
Can weather delay the job?
Outside, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Inside work is seldom held up.
How long does a job like this take?
That varies with the scale of the job, though a typical visit normally takes a few days for most blocks, with larger programmes scheduled building by building. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we will give you a timescale with the quote.
What’s the quickest route to a quote?
It works in four steps: send details, receive a fixed quote, we carry out the work, and it’s guaranteed. Step one needs little more than photos and a postcode.
Will residents or tenants be disturbed?
Occupiers stay in the building throughout. We flag any areas that need internal access well before the dates so it can be arranged.
After the work
After handover, a little attention goes a long way:
- Check sealant joints during planned building inspections
- Keep bins and bikes away from communal door frames
- Look at the sunniest and most exposed elevations first
- Keep a record of when each building was resealed
Log the date and extent of the resealing for each block. That makes future programmes easier to plan and gives you a history.
Water getting in round frames can damage plaster, decoration and the frames themselves. Resealing early keeps the job small.
