Mastic sealing in Goring-by-Sea
Owners and agents typically inherit a building’s mastic rather than choose it 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. If you have the same joint failures repeated across a portfolio and movement joints with sealant missing, we can put it right. For commercial sealant work in Goring-by-Sea, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, whether it’s one building or several.
For landlords and associations with stock in and around Goring-by-Sea, grouping buildings into one visit saves travel. Send the addresses and photos and we’ll quote for all of them together.
Every job is signed off with a 12-month guarantee. The promise is simple: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

What else we do in Goring-by-Sea
Why it’s worth doing now in Goring-by-Sea
Leaving failed external joints lets water reach the structure behind. That can lead to damp, staining and damage to finishes and those cost far more to put right. Over time, UV, weather and movement wear any sealant out. Replacing it before it fails keeps water out.
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.

For managing agents and facilities managers
If you look after buildings for someone else, you need clear quotes and clear reporting. We quote a fixed sum, confirm the scope and walk the finished work with you or your representative.
We take on planned maintenance as well as one-off repairs: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. Sites in Goring-by-Sea can sit alongside others in a wider programme across West Sussex.
How a job runs
We bring the products specified for the job, along with primers and backing rod. Joint faces are cleaned back to sound, dry surfaces, primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, and the sealant is tooled off neatly. What matters most for a job in Goring-by-Sea is a clear list of what needs doing, so send photographs of each area. A fixed quote follows.
- First we look at the mastic on each building and note what needs replacing.
- 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.
- We remove the old mastic completely and clean the joint faces back.
- Backing rod and primer go in as the joint requires, then the new bead is placed and tooled.
- Finished joints are looked over and the 12-month guarantee confirmed.
Before we start on site
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
Getting a fixed quote
A good quote starts with a clear picture: what’s there, how much of it, how we reach it and what’s specified. Send what you have, and we’ll arrange a site visit if anything is unclear.

Do you need mastic sealing in Goring-by-Sea?
Previous repairs often sealed new mastic over old. New sealant won’t grip failed sealant, so these repairs rarely last.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- Movement joints with sealant missing
- Old repairs sealed over failed mastic
- Communal area joints that look neglected
- Mastic failing across several blocks on an estate
If you own or manage units on a site such as Goring Business Park, under half a mile north-east of Goring-by-Sea, failed mastic on frames, door surrounds and external joints can be dealt with unit by unit.
What your quote should include
- Their approach to joint depth and backing
- Their public liability cover
- Their pre-qualification and accreditations
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
Your questions answered
Will you take on a block within reach of Goring-By-Sea station?
Yes. Blocks of any size are within what we do. We work to your notice and access arrangements.
Can being near the sea in Goring-by-Sea affect the sealant we need?
It can. Wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt air are harder on external joints. We choose the product for the exposure, prime where the manufacturer requires it and size the joint for its movement.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No, never. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so it all comes out first.
Who decides which product is used?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. Without one, the joint decides: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
How do you reach windows on upper floors?
We talk through access for each building when we quote. Tell us the number of storeys and whether scaffold or other access is planned and we will confirm the approach in the quote.
How long will the new sealant last?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
Do you cover Goring-by-Sea?
Yes. Sites across Goring-by-Sea are covered.
Aftercare for building managers
For the best life from the joints:
- Have the asbestos survey to hand for older buildings
- Encourage occupiers to report problems at frames
- Reduce knocks to communal area joints
- Look at the sunniest and most exposed elevations first
If paintable sealant was used, decoration can follow once it has cured. Non-paintable silicone shouldn’t be painted over unless told otherwise.
Joints on a building age together, so it pays to look at the whole elevation. A planned reseal saves repeated visits.
