Mastic sealing in Findon, done properly
We diagnose before we prescribe: what has failed, what caused it and whether new sealant will actually solve it. Failed mastic is stripped, the faces taken back to sound material, primed where the manufacturer specifies and resealed and backing rod used wherever a joint is deep. We work on balcony and threshold joints, communal entrances and stairwells and window and door perimeters on blocks, and what we are called in for most is movement joints with sealant missing and draughts at frames across a block. For commercial sealant work in Findon, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, whether it’s one building or several.
For buildings around smaller places like Findon, we group work so one trip covers it. Send photos of the frames and joints and we’ll give a fixed quote.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we are clear about what is covered before work starts.

Aftercare for building managers
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Look at the sunniest and most exposed elevations first
- Encourage occupiers to report problems at frames
- Check the asbestos register before any old mastic is disturbed
- Keep a record of when each building was resealed
Our workmanship is covered for 12 months, so report any failure in that time. After that, regular inspection keeps the programme on track.
Leaks at window perimeters spoil finishes and can affect frames. Early resealing is far simpler than repairs inside.
For owners and agents in Findon
Findon is about 46 miles from central London. Around the capital’s commuter belt, managing agents look after many blocks close to stations and town centres. Findon sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. External mastic still waits for dry faces and the right temperature, and the sunniest, most exposed sides of a building typically need attention first.
Landlords with units on estates such as Gosling Croft Business Centre (to the south-west of Findon) can bring frame, door and external mastic across several units into one programme. Churches, halls and community buildings such as The Parish Church of St John the Baptist are looked after by trustees and committees like any other owner, and their frames, doors and external joints need mastic renewed in time.
Findon is about 3 miles north of Worthing, in West Sussex. Businesses, contractors and managing agents in Findon use us for work on mastic joints, as part of our coverage of West Sussex. Findon is one of 373 places we cover in West Sussex. There’s a separate page for Brighton, about 12 miles away.

Near you in Findon
We work on buildings around The Old Village House Hotel. Findon’s nearest station is West Worthing station, roughly 3.4 miles south of the centre. A little further out are Worthing Hospital (3.9 miles south-east) and Old Castle (2.9 miles south). Open spaces near Findon include Chanctonbury Hill.
What we are called out for in Findon
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.
Typical triggers for a call:
- Open joints in brickwork or panels
- Water getting in round frames after rain
- Damaged joints in communal entrances and corridors
- No planned programme for sealant
Buildings close to stations like West Worthing station, 3.4 miles south of Findon, are often flats over shops, with frame mastic to keep sound.

From enquiry to sign-off
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. Rural sites near Findon may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Add it to your enquiry and we’ll build it into the plan.
- 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.
- 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.
What we need from you
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Tell staff and tenants when we will be in
- Let us know about inductions and permits

FAQs: Findon
Is Findon too small for you to travel to?
No. Places such as Findon are covered as much as the big towns. We work across Greater London and the South East. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
We manage a building near West Worthing station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for agents, landlords and housing associations with blocks of every size. Send the address, photos of the elevations and your access arrangements, and we will give a fixed quote.
When is resealing likely to be due?
There isn’t a single answer, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
How long does a job like this take?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. You will have an expected duration with the quote.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to, and any queries are raised before we start.
What if the old mastic contains asbestos?
Some mastics in pre-2000 buildings contain asbestos. We ask for the asbestos register or survey before work starts, and if it’s suspected, work stops until it’s tested.
Will residents or tenants be disturbed?
Occupiers stay in the building throughout. We flag any areas that need internal access well before the dates so it can be arranged.
How the quote is worked out
The price varies from site to site. It mainly depends on:
- The size and state of each joint
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- How much existing material needs removing
- Access and working height
No two sites price the same: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.
What we need to price the job
It doesn’t need to be a full survey. A few details are enough to get going:
- The site address and postcode
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- Access details, including height
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
For a fixed quote, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email us. You can also send details through our quote form.
Honest limits
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It won’t put right:
- Failed window or door frames, which need a window contractor
- Substrate edges that need repairing first
- Misted or failed double-glazed units
If you are not sure, just ring 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will give you a straight answer.
