Mastic sealing for Chidham sites
Share the site address and what’s failing, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote or arrange a visit.
Doing it in-house
There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. Where it goes wrong is preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
Mastic sealing for commercial buildings in Chidham
Managing agents and housing associations typically need paperwork before anyone starts. 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. We work on communal entrances and stairwells, shopfronts below residential blocks and balcony and threshold joints, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are open joints in brickwork or panels and estate-wide sealant that is simply worn out. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: in Chidham, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
For owners with a single building near Chidham, we plan to finish in one visit where possible. Send photos of the frames and joints and we will give a fixed quote.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

Blocks and managed buildings in Chidham
With the shore within about 1 mile, Chidham counts as a coastal location. On buildings near the shore, the side facing the weather usually needs its mastic renewed first, so it’s worth inspecting those sides more often. Chidham has four care or nursing homes no more than 2 miles away. For owners and operators of care buildings, window perimeters and external joints are best renewed in planned phases around residents.
Student accommodation around universities such as University of Chichester, 4.5 miles east of Chidham, is usually managed block by block, which suits a planned mastic programme. Landlords with units on estates such as Southfield Industrial Park., 1 mile to the east of Chidham, can bring frame, door and external mastic across several units into one programme.

When to call us in Chidham
We often find joints filled solid with no backing rod, so the mastic is glued to the joint bottom too. It can’t stretch properly and splits as the building moves.
Look out for the following:
- Failed external movement joints
- Patchy repairs in mismatched sealant
- Window mastic that has split and shrunk
- Worn sealant at communal door frames
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.

For managing agents and facilities managers
Facilities managers want contractors who arrive with the paperwork sorted. Tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we will confirm with the quote.
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.
Aftercare for building managers
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Log resealing dates block by block
- Check sealant joints during planned building inspections
- Ask residents or tenants to report leaks and draughts early
- Have the asbestos survey to hand for older buildings
Include sealant in planned building inspections. Watch for splits, open gaps, hard or chalky surfaces and mastic pulling away, and note the building and elevation.
Left open, joint edges in render, brick or frames can deteriorate. Then the edges may need repairing first and the job grows.
