Mastic sealing in Halnaker: the local picture
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. External mastic still waits for dry faces and the right temperature, and the sunniest, most exposed sides of a building usually need attention first. Two care or nursing homes sit less than 2 miles from Halnaker. For owners and operators of care buildings, window perimeters and external joints are best renewed in planned phases around residents.
Trustees of buildings like The Priory Church of St Mary and St Blaize can bring frame and external mastic into a planned maintenance list. If you own or manage units on a site such as Chichester Business Park., which lies south of Halnaker, failed mastic on frames, door surrounds and external joints can be dealt with unit by unit.
Halnaker is about 3 miles north-east of Chichester, in West Sussex. Halnaker sits inside our coverage and the rest of West Sussex, and jobs here get the same fixed quote and 12-month guarantee as anywhere else. Our West Sussex coverage takes in 373 places, from busy centres to rural villages. For work in that direction, see our Portsmouth page, about 16 miles away.

When something else is needed
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Leaks from above rather than through a joint
- Asbestos-containing sealant, which we don’t remove
- Frames that are rotten, warped or broken
If you’re not sure, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Signs you need mastic sealing in Halnaker
Topping up old mastic is a common shortcut. New silicone has nothing to grip on old silicone, so these repairs rarely last.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Failed external movement joints
- The same joint failures repeated across a portfolio
- Leaks at window and door perimeters
- Occupiers reporting cold air round windows
Student accommodation around universities such as University of Chichester (to the south-west of Halnaker) is typically managed block by block, which suits a planned mastic programme.
Before you book anyone
- Their public liability cover
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
- Are they CHAS accredited or on Constructionline?
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed

What else we do in Halnaker
Common questions from Halnaker clients
Does your area include sites such as Chichester Business Park., near Halnaker?
Yes, sites like Chichester Business Park. Are within our area, along with the rest of Halnaker. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.
Can you quote for a block close to Chichester station?
Yes. Managing agents, landlords, property factors and housing associations are who this service is for. Give us the building’s details and say how residents are notified, and we will quote and plan to suit.
When can the area be used after sealing?
Curing time varies by product, and we confirm it on the day, and sign any area that should be left alone.
Who decides which product is used?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
Do you work for managing agents and housing associations?
Yes, that’s exactly who this service is for. We work through buildings in a planned order so you can plan around it.
Is asbestos a concern with old mastic?
In older buildings, old mastic can contain asbestos. We ask for the asbestos register or survey before work starts and suspect material is tested first.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so it all comes out first.
Quoting for work in Halnaker
What shapes the price:
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- How accessible the joints are
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- The size and state of each joint
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote and we’ll put a fixed figure on it.
Sending details for a quote
Diagnosis starts before we arrive. Tell us:
- Any specification or named product
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
A good quote starts with a clear picture: the joints involved, quantities, access and the product called for. Send what you have, and we’ll arrange a site visit if anything is unclear.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: masking tape along the joint edges and sheeting over anything nearby. On site, the work usually takes a day or two for a single block, longer for an estate programme, and our waste is bagged and taken away as we go. Jobs in and around smaller places like Halnaker are normally planned as a single visit, so we ask for photographs and rough sizes first. That way the right products come on the day.
- First comes a look at the joints and, for older buildings, the asbestos records.
- A fixed quote covers the joints, products and order of work.
- Failed mastic is removed completely.
- The joints are prepared and resealed with the right product.
- Buildings are completed in turn.
Before we start on site
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
- Move anything stored against the joints
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
Quotes
Let us know the site, the scope and your timescale, and we’ll put a fixed quote together. The easiest way is to give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form.

Owners, agents and contractors
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
If you look after buildings for someone else, clear figures and clear communication matter. You get a fixed quote, an agreed scope and a walk round at the end, plus a 12-month guarantee.
Why it’s worth doing now in Halnaker
Replacing mastic before water gets in is a planned job. After water has got in, there may be damp, damaged plaster or decoration to put right too and occupiers notice. Around Halnaker, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once, rather than one at a time. Send photographs of each area and we will quote for the lot.
The product called for affects the cost, as does the preparation each joint needs, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
Why appoint us
- Failed material removed, not covered up
- Work to your specification and the manufacturer’s guidance
- Colours confirmed for the specified product
- Matching to RAL references, product permitting
