Mastic sealing in East Wittering
Managing agents and housing associations normally need paperwork before anyone starts. Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, with public liability insurance. If you are dealing with estate-wide sealant that is simply worn out and worn sealant at communal door frames, we can help, whatever the surface. Most enquiries from East Wittering start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Converted and older buildings in and around East Wittering often put modern windows into old walls. The mastic there needs to suit both surfaces.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee, wherever the site is. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

Cost factors for mastic joints
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, because every site is different. What we take into account:
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Phasing around occupants
- Any access equipment needed
- Which sealant the job calls for
What a job costs comes down to the quantity of joints, how much old material needs removing and the access. Call for a fixed quote when you’re ready.
Before you send an enquiry
Whether it’s one area or a whole building, the same details help:
- Any dates the work must fit around
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- The type of building and who uses it
- Specification clauses that apply
Send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed: that’s how every job runs. The first step is to phone 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form with what you know.
Common problems we fix in East Wittering
We often find joints filled solid with no backing rod so the mastic is bonded on three sides. It can’t stretch properly and it tears.
Look out for the following:
- Patchy repairs in mismatched sealant
- Failed external movement joints
- Communal area joints that look neglected
- Draughts at frames across a block
Older community buildings, St Anne among them, often have frames of mixed ages whose mastic varies.
Questions to ask before you book
- What site paperwork they can supply
- Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?
- Proof of insurance
- How they’ll work around occupants
When it isn’t the sealant
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Substrate edges that need repairing first
- Frames that are rotten, warped or broken
- Broken glass or failed sealed units
If you’re not sure, just ring 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will give you a straight answer.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
- Balcony and threshold joints
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
- External wall and movement joints
Maintenance after handover
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. Specifically:
- Include mastic in your cyclical inspections
- Encourage occupiers to report problems at frames
- Group repairs into a planned programme
- Protect low-level joints in entrances
Our workmanship is covered for 12 months, so report any failure in that time. After that, regular inspection keeps the programme on track.
Planned resealing is easier to budget than emergency repairs. We can quote buildings in priority order and work down the list.
FAQs: East Wittering
Is East Wittering too far out for you?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Does the sea air around East Wittering change the choice of sealant?
It can. Coastal exposure works external joints harder than inland weather. That puts more weight on product choice, primers where the manufacturer specifies them, and correct joint sizing.
Can you plan resealing across several buildings?
Yes. We survey and price each building, then work through them in order starting wherever is most urgent.
What guarantee do you give on resealing?
There is a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship and we hold public liability insurance.
Do you take on small jobs?
Whatever the size, the process is the same: details, then a fixed price, then sealing, then a 12-month guarantee.
What’s the quickest route to a quote?
There are four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. The first step only needs photos and a postcode.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
On site: what to expect
The first thing on site is a walk round with your contact, agreeing which joints are in scope, where to start and what must stay open. Then we strip out anything that has failed, prepare every joint and seal it. For a site in East Wittering, we plan so the whole job is done in one go where possible. Clear photographs and measurements help us bring the right products.
- First we look at the mastic on each building and note what needs replacing.
- We send a fixed quote that sets out the joints, the products and the programme.
- The programme is fixed with you, including dates you can pass on to residents or tenants.
- 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.
- Finished joints are looked over and the 12-month guarantee confirmed.
Before we start on site
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
