About our mastic sealing in Maudlin
For over 20 years we have resealed joints for owners, agents and landlords. Our applicators are CSCS-carded and we hold public liability insurance. Each building we complete carries a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. If you are dealing with open joints in brickwork or panels and worn sealant at communal door frames, we can help, on communal entrances and stairwells, balcony and threshold joints and communal kitchens and washrooms alike. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Maudlin first comes to us: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
Rural conversions near places like Maudlin often set modern frames into older stone, flint or brick. The mastic needs to suit an irregular masonry face and the look of the building.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work. Should something we installed fail, call the office on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll come back to it.

- Materials that need asbestos testing before work

Mastic sealing in Maudlin: the local picture
Maudlin lies roughly 53 miles out from central London. Within reach of London, blocks run by agents and associations are common around stations. Rainfall across the South East, Maudlin included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. External mastic still waits for dry faces and the right temperature, and south- and west-facing elevations, which take the most sun and rain, often age first.
Older community buildings, The Parish Church of St Peter among them, often have frames of mixed ages whose mastic varies. Blocks of flats and mixed-use buildings often cluster around stations such as Chichester station (to the south-west of Maudlin) and their window and balcony mastic tends to age at the same rate across a building.
Maudlin is about 2 miles north-east of Chichester, in West Sussex. Looking for mastic sealing in Maudlin? We can help. Our West Sussex coverage takes in 373 places. Our Portsmouth page has more on work in that area (15 miles or so).

Maudlin: questions and answers
Do you cover business parks and estates near Maudlin, such as Glenmore Business Park?
Yes. Our area takes in Maudlin and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Glenmore Business Park included. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Is Maudlin too small for you to travel to?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. London and every South East county are within our area. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Will you quote for a small job?
Small jobs are welcome alongside larger packages. Photos and a description are enough to start.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No, never. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so everything comes out first.
Do you check for asbestos in old sealant?
We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials. If old sealant is suspected, work stops until it’s tested, and the duty to manage asbestos sits with the dutyholder.
How many days will you need on site?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. We will give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
Will you come and look before quoting?
It depends on the job. Straightforward work can often be priced from photos and measurements, while larger or less clear jobs get a site visit first.

Signs you need mastic sealing in Maudlin
Much failed sealant was laid on dirty, dusty or damp surfaces. Without clean, sound faces and a primer where the product needs one, the bead peels off one side.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Occupiers reporting cold air round windows
- Repeated reactive repairs to the same buildings
- Window mastic that has split and shrunk
- Damp patches beside frames
Student blocks close to universities like University of Chichester, 1.4 miles to the west of Maudlin, are easiest to work on between tenancies.
Before you book anyone
- Are they CHAS accredited or on Constructionline?
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
- How they handle RAMS and site documents
- Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?
Building owners, agents and FMs in Maudlin
Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units book us directly too. We plan around the way the building is used, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.

Why act early in Maudlin
Piecemeal repairs over the years often leave mismatched sealant. Resealing a whole building gives a consistent finish. Halls, stores and units around places like Maudlin may not be checked every day, so a failed joint can leak for a while before anyone sees it. Renewing joints in good time avoids the problem.
Cost follows what’s involved: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a fixed quote.

Keeping the joints sound
Regular inspection catches problems early. Specifically:
- Prioritise elevations facing the weather
- Include mastic in your cyclical inspections
- Keep bins and bikes away from communal door frames
- Share the asbestos register when you send details
Encourage occupiers to report water or draughts at frames. Early reports catch failures before damage spreads.
One failed perimeter usually means others on the same building are close so a single failure is a sign to check the rest. A planned reseal saves repeated visits.
