How we handle mastic sealing in East Worthing
For over 20 years we have resealed joints for owners, agents and landlords. Every applicator holds a CSCS card and we hold public liability insurance. Each building we complete carries a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. If you’re dealing with repeated reactive repairs to the same buildings and open joints in brickwork or panels, we can put it right, whatever the surface. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in East Worthing, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
In a smaller place such as East Worthing, landlords and agents tend to look after small blocks, flats over shops, sheltered housing and commercial units. Their window perimeters and external joints need renewing as the mastic ages.
We stand by our work with a 12-month guarantee. That covers our preparation and application, and we come back if anything isn’t right.

Looking after buildings in and around East Worthing
East Worthing lies within about 1 mile of the sea. On buildings near the shore, the side facing the weather usually needs its mastic renewed first, and they deserve more regular inspection. Rainfall across the South East, East Worthing included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. 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 your remit includes a building such as Lyndhurst Infant School, frame and door mastic can be programmed for the holidays. If you are responsible for a building such as St George's Church, frame and door mastic needs the same attention as any other property.
East Worthing is about 2 miles south-west of Lancing, in West Sussex. East Worthing sits inside our coverage, and jobs here get the same fixed quote and 12-month guarantee as anywhere else.

Around East Worthing

The closest station to East Worthing is East Worthing station, roughly 0.6 miles north. Nearby you will also find Old Castle (2.1 miles north-west) and Museum of Sussex Folklore (2.1 miles north-west). For a walk, there’s Lancing Ring and Widewater Lagoon.
General trades versus a specialist
Certain joints really need a specialist: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
The visible bead is only part of the job. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are easy to get wrong without experience.

What else we do in East Worthing
Common problems we fix in East Worthing
Communal entrances and corridors see a lot of wear, with joints near the floor and around doors suffering most. Regular cleaning wears them further.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Draughts at frames across a block
- Water getting in round frames after rain
- Worn sealant at communal door frames
- Estate-wide sealant that is simply worn out
If you own or manage units on a site such as Lancing Business Park (1 mile north-east of East Worthing), failed mastic on frames, door surrounds and external joints can be dealt with unit by unit.

Common questions from East Worthing clients
Is East Worthing off your patch?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Will you work in a care home in East Worthing without moving residents out?
Yes, with the manager deciding the order and timing of rooms. Tell us about any infection-control or safeguarding requirements and we’ll work to them.
How do we ask for a quote?
There are four steps: send details, receive a fixed quote, we carry out the work, and it’s guaranteed. Step one needs little more than photographs and a postcode.
How long before the joints can be used?
We will confirm how long the chosen product needs to cure, and sign any area that should be left alone.
Do you supply RAMS and insurance details?
Our credentials include CHAS, Constructionline and public liability insurance. Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will 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.
Do you guarantee the mastic work?
A 12-month guarantee covers our work. It covers our workmanship, not later building movement, damage or frame failures.
How the quote is worked out
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, since sites vary so much. What we take into account:
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Travel to remote or island sites
- Working within restricted access windows
We don’t publish prices, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. Call for a quote.
What to include in your enquiry
However big the job, these details speed things up:
- The type of building and who uses it
- Access details, including height
- Any specification or named product
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
A handful of photos and a postcode is the fastest way to a quote. Send them through the quote form, or speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings to discuss it first.
Why act early in East Worthing
Dealing with failed joints one report at a time is slow and scattered. Planned resealing covers a whole building or estate in one go, under a single quote and a single programme. Small buildings around East Worthing suffer from failed joints as much as large ones. Early resealing avoids the damage that follows a leak.
What a job costs comes down to the quantity of joints, what has to come out first and how the joints are reached. Call for a quote when you are ready.

What sealant work can’t fix
Honesty saves time and money. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- Materials that need asbestos testing before work
- Water coming in from the roof or rainwater goods
- Substrate edges that need repairing first
Not sure which it is? You can ring 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll tell you honestly.

Diagnose, treat, sign off
When we get to site, we sign in, go through any site induction and check how permits are handled. Everything around the joints gets protected before any cutting starts, and the work usually takes a few days for most blocks, with larger programmes scheduled building by building. What matters most for a job in East Worthing is a clear list of what needs doing, so send photographs of each area. A fixed quote follows.
- First we look at the mastic on each building and note what needs replacing.
- A fixed quote follows, split by block or building if that suits you.
- Dates, areas and access are agreed so residents or tenants can be told in advance.
- Failed mastic is removed and the faces taken back to sound, dry material.
- Backing rod and primer go in as the joint requires, then the new bead is placed and tooled.
- Each building is checked on completion and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Getting the site ready
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
