Mastic sealing near Elmer
Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
General trades versus a specialist
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.
Paperwork matters too. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and we’ll confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
Mastic sealing in Elmer
For blocks and buildings in Elmer and across West Sussex, the process is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed. A list of buildings, a few photos and approximate joint numbers are enough for a quick quote, and site visits can be arranged. Most enquiries involve complaints coming in block by block and the same joint failures repeated across a portfolio, on balcony and threshold joints, communal entrances and stairwells and communal kitchens and washrooms. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Elmer, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Older buildings and conversions around places like Elmer mix old masonry with newer frames. Perimeter joints need a sealant that suits both frame and masonry.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

Questions we are asked in Elmer
Do you work in occupied care homes around Elmer?
Yes. We work around residents’ routines, a room or two at a time. Any site rules, from signing in to infection control, are agreed before we start.
Can being near the sea in Elmer affect the sealant we need?
It can, yes: buildings near the sea take more wind-driven rain, and salt in the air nearer the shore. We choose the product for the exposure, prime where the manufacturer requires it and size the joint for its movement.
Do you supply RAMS and insurance details?
Let us know your requirements: 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.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and the quote will be based on it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
How long do sealant joints last?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
Do you work with property factors and landlords?
Yes. Most of our mastic sealing is for agents, factors, housing associations and portfolio landlords and work can be quoted per building or as a whole.
Can you reseal a whole block or estate?
Yes. Each building is inspected, quoted and scheduled in turn, and the programme can start with the worst.
Our process
Inspect, seal, sign off: that’s the shape of every visit. We inspect the joints and confirm what’s in scope, then the work is carried out to the specified product and detail, and we finish with a walk round so the work can be signed off. If neighbouring businesses or buildings around Elmer need work too, visits can be combined. Tell us your site hours and we’ll plan around them.
- First comes a look at the joints and, for older buildings, the asbestos records.
- A fixed quote covers the joints, products and order of work.
- We strip out the old sealant.
- Joint faces are cleaned, backed and resealed.
- We finish each building before moving to the next.
Before we start on site
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use

Quotes are fixed against the scope you send, so the cost is agreed before work starts. To ask for one, phone 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form.

When it isn’t the sealant
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
- Leaks from above rather than through a joint
- Asbestos-containing sealant, which we don’t remove
If you’re not sure, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Where we work in Elmer
- External wall and movement joints
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
- Balcony and threshold joints
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
Leave it or put it right?
Adding sealant to cyclical maintenance is an easy win. Waiting until leaks appear means working under pressure with less control over timing. A failed joint lets water into a building whatever its size. Catching it early means a reseal rather than repairs.
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: 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.

Work for main contractors and building owners
Planned maintenance programmes are welcome: working through a building or an estate in stages that fit your budget. Elmer can form part of a wider programme across West Sussex.
For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor, on new build and refurbishment alike. We work to your programme, your specification and your site rules, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
For owners and agents in Elmer
With the shore within about 1 mile, Elmer counts as a coastal location. For owners and agents with buildings near the sea, exposed elevations are where frame mastic fails first. The 2 miles around Elmer include two care or nursing homes. Care home owners need frame and external mastic kept sound without unsettling residents.
For a school such as Bishop Tufnell CofE Primary School, perimeter mastic on windows and doors is a holiday job. Student accommodation around universities such as University of Chichester (Bognor Campus), 2.4 miles to the west of Elmer, is typically managed block by block, which suits a planned mastic programme. Buildings close to stations like Ford station (2.9 miles north-east of Elmer) are often flats over shops, with frame mastic to keep sound.
Elmer is about 3 miles east of Bognor Regis, in West Sussex. We cover commercial sites throughout Elmer, whether it’s a single job or part of a planned programme. Across West Sussex, 373 places are covered, Elmer among them. Portsmouth is covered too, some 20 miles away.
Anyone looking for mastic sealing in PO22 gets the same process as the rest of our area: details, then a fixed price, then sealing and a 12-month guarantee. If your site is on Elmer Road, Ancton Lane and East Avenue or close by, we can quote for mastic joints. We also cover Middleton-on-Sea (1 mile west), Bilsham (1 mile north), Atherington (1 mile north-east), Flansham (2 miles north-west) and Horsemere Green (2 miles north-east) for mastic joints. Further afield, our area takes in Worthing (9 miles east), Bognor Regis (3 miles west), Chichester (8 miles north-west), Selsey (9 miles south-west), Littlehampton (4 miles east) and Shoreham-by-Sea (15 miles east).

Quoting for work in Elmer
The price varies from site to site. It mainly depends on:
- Travel to remote or island sites
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- How much existing material needs removing
We don’t publish prices, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. Call for a quote and we’ll price your job on its own details.
Before you send an enquiry
