Mastic sealing for commercial buildings in Marehill
Our clients include managing agents, property factors in Scotland, housing associations and landlords with block or commercial portfolios. A planned, building-by-building programme often works better than reacting to each complaint and we quote and schedule each building in turn. The enquiries we see most involve no planned programme for sealant and damp patches beside frames, across communal kitchens and washrooms, window and door perimeters on blocks and balcony and threshold joints. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, in Marehill it comes down to the same thing: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Owners and agents with buildings around smaller places such as Marehill tend to manage small terraces of association properties, converted barns and commercial units. Mastic around frames and on external joints wears out in time, whatever the building.
We stand behind the joints we seal with a 12-month guarantee. That covers our preparation and application, and we come back if anything isn’t right.

Owners, agents and contractors
We take on planned maintenance as well as one-off repairs: working through a building or an estate in stages that fit your budget. Sites in Marehill can sit alongside others in a wider programme.
If you look after buildings for someone else, clear figures and clear communication matter. We quote a fixed sum, confirm the scope and walk the finished work with you or your representative.
Why act early in Marehill
Looking at mastic during planned maintenance costs little. Leaving it until there’s a leak turns it into reactive work and less choice about when. Around Marehill, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
The specified product makes a difference, and so does the preparation, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
Why appoint us
- A range of standard colours, depending on the product
- Colours confirmed for the specified product
- A Constructionline member, so easy to vet
- Specification-led, product-correct work

Block-wide mastic in Marehill
Marehill is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. Even so, frame mastic only goes on in dry, workable conditions, and south- and west-facing elevations, which take the most sun and rain, often age first. At about 41 miles from central London, Marehill is within reach of the capital. Commuter-belt towns tend to have plenty of managed blocks near stations and town centres, and window and balcony mastic on them tends to age at the same rate.
Schools and community buildings such as St Mary's Church of England Primary School need frame and external mastic kept sound like any building. If you look after a block within reach of Pulborough station (1.6 miles west of Marehill), frame and balcony mastic can be renewed on one programme. Churches, halls and community buildings such as Wiggonholt Church are looked after by trustees and committees like any other owner, and their frames, doors and external joints need mastic renewed in time.
Marehill is about 10 miles north of Worthing, in West Sussex. Across the RH20 postcode area, it works the same way: details in, fixed quote out, then sealing and a 12-month guarantee. 373 places across West Sussex fall within our area, Marehill among them. There’s a separate page for Brighton, roughly 17 miles from Marehill.

After the work
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Plan resealing building by building rather than complaint by complaint
- Encourage occupiers to report problems at frames
- Mention RAMS, insurance or CSCS requirements up front
- Keep a record of when each building was resealed
Ask residents or tenants to report draughts or leaks round windows early. A quick report keeps a small repair small.
Water getting in round frames can damage plaster, decoration and the frames themselves. Early resealing is far simpler than repairs inside.
What affects the price in Marehill
To price the job, we consider:
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Travel to remote or island sites
- The size and state of each joint
- How accessible the joints are
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.
Before you send an enquiry
Whether it’s one area or a whole building, the same details help:
- When you need the work done
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- Access details, including height
- The type of building and who uses it

Questions about Marehill
We manage a building near Pulborough station. Can you help?
Yes, and several blocks can go on one quote. Send the address, photos of the elevations and your access arrangements, and we’ll give a fixed quote.
Is Marehill too far out for you?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Do you do block-wide mastic programmes?
Block-wide and estate programmes are common. You get a fixed quote per building or for the whole job.
When is resealing likely to be due?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
It can, for external work. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Internal work is far less affected.
How long does a job like this take?
It depends on the scope, though a typical visit normally takes one or more days per building, depending on the joint lengths and the access. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we’ll give you a timescale with the quote.
How do you choose the sealant?
The specification comes first, if there is one. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them. While we’re working, the area stays contained and tidy, and we check in with your contact before moving on to each new area.

When something else is needed
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It won’t put right:
- Leaks through the frame itself rather than the perimeter

- Broken glass or failed sealed units
If in doubt, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll say what we think before you book.
