Mastic sealing for commercial buildings in East Preston
In buildings from before 2000, some old mastics contain asbestos. Before we disturb it, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey, and work stops for testing if there’s any doubt. Removing asbestos-containing material isn’t something we do. If you are dealing with no planned programme for sealant and brittle perimeter mastic across a building, we can put it right, whatever the surface. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, in East Preston it comes down to the same thing: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Places the size of East Preston normally have some housing association stock, small blocks and mixed-use buildings. The mastic around their frames and external joints ages like anywhere else.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work in West Sussex. Should something we installed fail, call 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will come back to it.

East Preston: questions and answers
Is East Preston off your patch?
No. Places such as East Preston are covered as much as the big towns. London and every South East county are within our area. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Will you take on work at estates like Rustington Trading Estate, close to East Preston?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around East Preston, Rustington Trading Estate among them, are all within reach. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
How long will the new sealant last?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
What will the job cost?
Every job gets its own fixed quote. To get one, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos with a description of the work.
How do you handle work on occupied blocks?
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.
How do I request a quote?
There are four steps: send details, receive a fixed quote, we carry out the work, and it’s guaranteed. The first step only needs photographs and a postcode.
Who decides which product is used?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. Without one, the joint decides: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
Aftercare for building managers
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. Specifically:
- Share the asbestos register when you send details
- Prioritise elevations facing the weather
- Mention RAMS, insurance or CSCS requirements up front
- Keep bins and bikes away from communal door frames
Encourage occupiers to report water or draughts at frames. Early reports catch failures before damage spreads.
Leaks at window perimeters spoil finishes and can affect frames. Resealing early keeps the job small.
For owners and agents in East Preston
With the shore within about 1 mile, East Preston counts as a coastal location. For owners and agents with buildings near the sea, exposed elevations are where frame mastic fails first, and they deserve more regular inspection. East Preston lies roughly 50 miles out from central London. Around the capital’s commuter belt, managing agents look after many blocks close to stations and town centres.
With historic buildings such as Ecclesden Manor, 1.3 miles to the north of East Preston, in the wider area, owners of older properties around East Preston should expect mastic to need a product that suits old masonry. For agents with blocks near Angmering station, 0.6 miles north-west of East Preston, a block-wide mastic programme deals with frames, balconies and entrances in one go. If your remit includes a building such as East Preston Infant School, frame and door mastic can be programmed for the holidays.

What sealant work can’t fix
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we are upfront when that’s the case. These need a different solution:
- Leaks from above rather than through a joint
- Misted or failed double-glazed units
- Asbestos-containing sealant, which we don’t remove
If you’re not sure, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will give you a straight answer.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
- Balcony and threshold joints
- External wall and movement joints
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
What happens if it’s left?
Resealing ahead of leaks keeps it to a maintenance task. After water has got in, there may be damp, damaged plaster or decoration to put right too, and the complaints come with it. For buildings in places like East Preston, one well-planned visit beats several small ones, so it’s worth dealing with every failing joint at once.
Every site prices differently: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.
