About our mastic sealing in Findon Valley
On a residential block, the work happens around people’s lives. Dates, areas and the order of work are agreed with you in advance so you can let residents know what is happening. Entrances and stairwells are kept in use throughout. Site teams most often ask us about leaks at window and door perimeters and communal area joints that look neglected, on external wall and movement joints, window and door perimeters on blocks and shopfronts below residential blocks. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, in Findon Valley it comes down to the same thing: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Older buildings and conversions around places like Findon Valley mix old masonry with newer frames. The mastic there needs to suit both surfaces.
Every job is signed off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

Should maintenance staff do it?
Certain joints really need a specialist: for example fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class.
On site: what to expect
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. What matters most for a job in Findon Valley is a clear list of what needs doing, so send photos of each area. You’ll then get a fixed price for the work.
- We inspect the joints, building by building, and record what has failed and why.
- You get a fixed quote, priced per building where that helps your budgeting.
- Dates, areas and access are agreed so residents or tenants can be told in advance.
- Old sealant is stripped and each face prepared back to firm material.
- Backing rod and primer go in as the joint requires, then the new bead is placed and tooled.
- Completed joints are inspected and carry a 12-month workmanship guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Confirm the product named in the specification

How the quote is worked out
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, since sites vary so much. What we take into account:
- The size and state of each joint
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- The total length or number of joints
- Whether the work must be split into stages
Cost follows what’s involved: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a quote.
What to include in your enquiry
A few photos plus some basic facts will normally do. Please tell us:
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Any specification or named product
- When you need the work done
Every quote starts with the facts: what’s there, how much of it, how we reach it and what’s specified. Share whatever details you have and we’ll fill any gaps with a visit.
Blocks and managed buildings in Findon Valley
Rainfall across the South East, Findon Valley included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Even so, frame mastic only goes on in dry, workable conditions, and the sunniest, most exposed sides of a building typically need attention first. Two care or nursing homes sit less than 2 miles from Findon Valley. Frame mastic on care buildings is best renewed elevation by elevation, with the manager deciding timings.
Historic properties like Ecclesden Manor (to the south-west of Findon Valley) show the age of some local stock, where frame mastic must suit soft brick or stone. If you’re responsible for a building such as All Saints, frame and door mastic needs the same attention as any other property.

What else we do in Findon Valley
Do you need mastic sealing in Findon Valley?
Many failed joints were sealed without backing rod, so the mastic is glued to the joint bottom too. It can’t stretch properly and splits as the building moves.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- Estate-wide sealant that is simply worn out
- Open joints in brickwork or panels
- Water getting in round frames after rain
- Cracked, hardened mastic round windows on a block
Buildings close to stations like West Worthing station, 2.4 miles to the south of Findon Valley, are often flats over shops, with frame mastic to keep sound.

External movement joints
Brickwork, blockwork and panel joints let a building move. Once that sealant goes, rain can reach the wall.
FAQs: Findon Valley
Is Findon Valley too small for you to travel to?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Do you cover business parks and estates near Findon Valley, such as Downlands Business Park?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Findon Valley, Downlands Business Park among them, are all within reach. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
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.
What if the old mastic contains asbestos?
In older buildings, old mastic can contain asbestos. We ask for the asbestos register or survey before work starts, and if it’s suspected, work stops until it’s tested.
How long does a typical visit take?
That varies with the scale of the job, but the work usually takes a day or two for a single block, longer for an estate programme. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we will give you a timescale with the quote.
Do you do block-wide mastic programmes?
Yes, planned programmes suit estates and portfolios. The quote can be split however suits your budgeting.
What guarantee do you give on resealing?
A 12-month guarantee covers our work. It applies to our workmanship rather than damage or problems with the frames.
