Honest limits
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It won’t put right:
- Roof leaks, gutters or failed flashings that aren’t sealant joints
- Asbestos-containing sealant, which we don’t remove
- Cracked or crumbling render, brick or stone at the joint edges (we will tell you if so)
If in doubt, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will say what we think.

Mastic sealing in Felpham
Most buildings come with mastic joints nobody has looked at since handover and it slowly wears out: window perimeters, door frames, external joints and communal junctions all rely on it. When it hardens, splits or pulls away, water and draughts follow along with complaints. We work on external wall and movement joints, communal entrances and stairwells and balcony and threshold joints, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are communal area joints that look neglected and brittle perimeter mastic across a building. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Felpham, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Places the size of Felpham typically have some housing association stock, small blocks and mixed-use buildings. Their window perimeters and external joints need renewing as the mastic ages.
We stand by our work with a 12-month guarantee. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant, and we come back if anything isn’t right.

Felpham: questions and answers
Is Felpham too small for you to travel to?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We work across Greater London and the South East. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Is Arun Retail Park, near Felpham, within your area?
Yes. We cover Felpham and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Arun Retail Park. To start, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
How long do sealant joints last?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
Is asbestos a concern with old mastic?
In older buildings, old mastic can contain asbestos. We check the asbestos register or survey before disturbing it, and if it’s suspected, work stops until it’s tested.
Is any job too small?
Single areas, one-off repairs and whole buildings are all quoted the same way: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed.
Do you need to see the site first?
That depends on the size and complexity of the job. Straightforward work can often be priced from photos and measurements, and bigger or more complex jobs typically get a visit.
How soon can the area be used again?
Curing time varies by product, and we confirm it on the day, and sign any area that should be left alone.
Should maintenance staff do it?
Redoing a failed joint normally costs more than getting it right at the outset, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
Block-wide mastic in Felpham
With the shore within about 1 mile, Felpham counts as a coastal location. Blocks and commercial buildings facing the sea take the most weather on their window perimeters and external joints, and they deserve more regular inspection. There are 13 care or nursing homes within about 2 miles of Felpham. Care home owners need frame and external mastic kept sound without unsettling residents.
If your remit includes a building such as Felpham Community College, frame and door mastic can be programmed for the holidays. Student blocks close to universities like University of Chichester (Bognor Campus) (less than half a mile west of Felpham) are easiest to work on between tenancies.

How a job runs
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. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in. If neighbouring businesses or buildings around Felpham need work too, visits can be combined. Mention the building’s opening times and we’ll work within them.
- 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 where the joint and the product need them, then new sealant is applied and tooled.
- Each building is checked on completion and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
What we need from you
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Flag any permit to work we’ll need
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
Ask for a quote
Send us photographs, drawings or a joint schedule are often enough for a fixed quote. If the job needs a look first, we’ll arrange a site visit.
Advice
Different surfaces, different methods
Tenement and older buildings
Traditional buildings have joints that need a careful approach. We look at the substrate before choosing a sealant.
External movement joints
Brickwork, blockwork and panel joints let a building move. Failed sealant in a movement joint lets water in.
Common problems we fix in Felpham
We often find joints filled solid with no backing rod so the mastic is bonded on three sides. That three-sided adhesion stops it stretching and splits as the building moves.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Failed external movement joints
- Patchy repairs in mismatched sealant
- Draughts at frames across a block
- Cracked, hardened mastic round windows on a block
Buildings close to stations like Bognor Regis station, 1 mile to the west of Felpham, are often flats over shops, with frame mastic to keep sound.
