How we handle mastic sealing in Funtington
We diagnose before we prescribe: what has failed, what caused it and whether new sealant will actually solve it. Old mastic is removed entirely, the faces prepared, primer used where the maker specifies it and new sealant tooled in and backing rod used wherever a joint is deep. We work on communal kitchens and washrooms, window and door perimeters on blocks and shopfronts below residential blocks, and what we are called in for most is damaged joints in communal entrances and corridors and water getting in round frames after rain. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Funtington tend to want the same three things: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
In and around smaller places like Funtington, landlords and agents often look after small groups of housing association properties, converted farm buildings and community buildings. Mastic around frames and on external joints wears out in time, whatever the building.
We stand by our work: 12 months, guaranteed. That covers our preparation and application.

Being straight saves everyone time. New sealant won’t cure:

Mastic sealing around Funtington: what changes locally
Central London is about 55 miles from Funtington. Around the capital’s commuter belt, managing agents look after many blocks close to stations and town centres; their frame mastic often ages block-wide. Funtington is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. Even so, frame mastic only goes on in dry, workable conditions, and elevations facing the sun and the prevailing weather are normally where frame mastic ages first.
If you look after a block within reach of Nutbourne station, which lies south-west of Funtington, frame and balcony mastic can be renewed on one programme. For owners of several units at places like Hambrook Business Park, which lies south-west of Funtington, one programme can deal with frame and external mastic across the lot.

Questions we are asked in Funtington
Is Funtington off your patch?
Not at all. Funtington is within our area. We work across Greater London and the South East. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Do you cover business parks and estates near Funtington, such as Hambrook Business Park?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Funtington, Hambrook Business Park among them, are all within reach. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
How long will the new sealant last?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
How do you choose the sealant?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
Do you check for asbestos in old sealant?
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.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so it all comes out first.
How soon can the area be used again?
That comes down to the sealant and the temperature. Some products skin over quickly but need longer to cure fully, and we confirm it before leaving site.

What else we do in Funtington
Work for main contractors and building owners
Facilities managers want contractors who arrive with the paperwork sorted. Tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we will confirm with the quote.

What we are called out for in Funtington
The edges of the material itself sometimes break away, such as crumbling render, brick arrises or frame edges. If the edges are unsound, we say so before quoting the sealing.
Typical triggers for a call:
- The same joint failures repeated across a portfolio
- Damp patches beside frames
- Draughts at frames across a block
- No planned programme for sealant

On site, the work typically takes anything from a day to a few weeks, depending on the number of buildings and joints, and we clear our waste as we work. Rural sites near Funtington may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Add it to your enquiry and we will build it into the plan.

- You get a fixed quote, per block or for the whole programme.
- We agree the programme and dates with you.

Related advice
General trades versus a specialist
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. Where it goes wrong is preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
Redoing a failed joint usually costs more than getting it right at the outset, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
Why it’s worth doing now in Funtington
Reacting to every complaint means sending someone out block by block. A planned programme treats each building once, under a single quote and a single programme. Halls, stores and units around places like Funtington may not be checked every day, so a failed joint can leak for a while before anyone sees it. Resealing early avoids that.
The price depends on the quantity of joints, what has to come out first and how the joints are reached. Call for a quote once you have the details.
