What happens if it’s left?
Adding sealant to cyclical maintenance is an easy win. Leaving it until there’s a leak turns it into reactive work with less control over timing. Older rural buildings around Bosham Hoe move with the seasons, and rigid or tired sealant can’t keep up. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well.
Why us?
- 12 months’ guarantee on every job
- Colours chosen to suit frames, cladding or finishes where possible
- Colour agreed before work starts
- Coloured sealants to suit the setting, where available

How we handle mastic sealing in Bosham Hoe
Most buildings come with mastic joints nobody has looked at since handover and it slowly wears out: window perimeters, door frames, external joints and communal junctions all rely on it. When it hardens, splits or pulls away, water and draughts follow along with complaints. If you are dealing with movement joints with sealant missing and worn sealant at communal door frames, we can put it right, on external wall and movement joints, communal entrances and stairwells and communal kitchens and washrooms alike. For commercial sealant work in Bosham Hoe, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
Around smaller places like Bosham Hoe, older walls fitted with newer windows are a familiar sight. The mastic needs to suit an irregular masonry face and the look of the building.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work in West Sussex. Should something we installed fail, phone 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll come back to it.

When something else is needed
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Leaks through the frame itself rather than the perimeter
- Substrate edges that need repairing first
- Broken glass or failed sealed units
If you’re not sure, just call 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
- Balcony and threshold joints
- External wall and movement joints
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
Mastic sealing in Bosham Hoe: the local picture
The sea is no more than about 1 mile from Bosham Hoe. For owners and agents with buildings near the sea, exposed elevations are where frame mastic fails first. Bosham Hoe is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. Outside mastic still needs a dry joint and the right temperature, and south- and west-facing elevations, which take the most sun and rain, often age first.
If you own or manage units on a site such as Southfield Industrial Park. (1.5 miles north of Bosham Hoe), failed mastic on frames, door surrounds and external joints can be dealt with unit by unit. If you look after a block within reach of Bosham station, 1.9 miles north of Bosham Hoe, frame and balcony mastic can be renewed on one programme.

Cost factors for mastic joints
We price every job individually. The things that drive the figure:
- How much existing material needs removing
- How much there is to seal
- Which sealant the job calls for
- The site’s rules and procedures
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.
What we need to price the job
A few photographs plus some basic facts will normally do. Please tell us:
- What the building is and how it’s used
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- Your programme or deadline
- Access details, including height
Send us photos, drawings or a joint schedule are often enough for a fixed quote. Where a site visit makes more sense, we will arrange one.
Do you need mastic sealing in Bosham Hoe?
Communal entrances and corridors see a lot of wear, and low-level joints get damaged. Cleaning products add to the wear.
Things that usually lead to an enquiry:
- Cracked, hardened mastic round windows on a block
- Damp patches beside frames
- Movement joints with sealant missing
- Worn sealant at communal door frames
Student blocks close to universities like University of Chichester (to the north-east of Bosham Hoe) are easiest to work on between tenancies.
What your quote should include
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Their public liability cover
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
Doing it in-house
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. The usual problems come from preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
Your questions answered
Can being near the sea in Bosham Hoe affect the sealant we need?
It can. Wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt air are harder on external joints. We check the specified product suits the exposure and pay close attention to preparation.
Do you work for managing agents with blocks near Bosham station?
Yes, we work for agents, landlords and housing associations with blocks of every size. Photos of each elevation help us quote accurately.
Do you supply RAMS and insurance details?
Our credentials include CHAS, Constructionline and public liability insurance. For specific documents, tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote.
Can you plan resealing across several buildings?
Yes. Each building is inspected, quoted and scheduled in turn, and the programme can start with the worst.
Is Bosham Hoe in your area?
Yes. We cover Bosham Hoe, and the simplest way to start is to give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email the details over.
How do you handle work on occupied blocks?
Occupiers stay in the building throughout. We flag any areas that need internal access well before the dates so you can arrange it with occupiers.
What if the old mastic contains asbestos?
Some mastics in pre-2000 buildings contain asbestos. We ask for the asbestos register or survey before work starts, and if it’s suspected, work stops until it’s tested.
