Mastic sealing for businesses in Middleton-on-Sea

Send drawings, photos or a joint schedule, or tell us about the site, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Honest limits

Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. It won’t fix:

  • Failed window or door frames, which need a window contractor
  • Water coming in from the roof or rainwater goods
  • Asbestos-containing sealant, which we don’t remove

If in doubt, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll say what we think.

Joints and surfaces we work on

  • Window and door perimeters on blocks
  • Communal entrances and stairwells
  • Shopfronts below residential blocks
  • External wall and movement joints
  • Communal kitchens and washrooms
  • Balcony and threshold joints

Mastic sealing for commercial buildings in Middleton-on-Sea

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, with each block quoted and scheduled in turn. We work on communal entrances and stairwells, shopfronts below residential blocks and window and door perimeters on blocks, and what we are called in for most is old repairs sealed over failed mastic and complaints coming in block by block. Most enquiries from Middleton-on-Sea start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.

Owners with buildings around smaller places like Middleton-on-Sea often group mastic work so one visit covers several properties. Send the addresses and photos and we’ll quote for all of them together.

We stand by our work: 12 months, guaranteed. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant.

Questions about Middleton-on-Sea

Can being near the sea in Middleton-on-Sea affect the sealant we need?

It can. Wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt air are harder on external joints. Product choice and preparation matter more, and sea-facing elevations are worth inspecting more often.

Do you work for managing agents with blocks near Bognor Regis station?

Yes, we work for agents, landlords and housing associations with blocks of every size. Send the address, photographs of the elevations and your access arrangements, and we will give a fixed quote.

When is resealing likely to be due?

It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.

Do you do block-wide mastic programmes?

Yes. We survey and price each building, then work through them in order, and the programme can start with the worst.

What guarantee do you give on resealing?

Our workmanship carries a 12-month guarantee and we hold public liability insurance.

Can you take on resealing for a block portfolio?

Yes, that’s exactly who this service is for. We work through buildings in a planned order so you can plan around it.

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’ll tell you how we’d approach it.

On site: what to expect

Occupied buildings need a little choreography. The work area is signed and kept contained, with routes through the building left open and move on in phases so staff and visitors can carry on around us. What matters most for a job in Middleton-on-Sea is a clear list of what needs doing. A fixed quote follows.

  1. First comes a look at the joints and, for older buildings, the asbestos records.
  2. The products and programme are set out in a fixed quote.
  3. Failed mastic is removed completely.
  4. The joints are prepared and resealed with the right product.
  5. We finish each building before moving to the next.

Preparing the site

  • Tell staff and tenants when we will be in
  • Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
  • Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs

When to bring in a specialist

For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.

A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. 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.

Surface by surface

External movement joints

Movement joints are cleaned out, backed with rod and resealed with a sealant of the right movement class.

Tenement and older buildings

Stone needs a neutral-cure product and we choose accordingly.

Blocks and managed buildings in Middleton-on-Sea

Middleton-on-Sea is within about 1 mile of the coast. For owners and agents with buildings near the sea, exposed elevations are where frame mastic fails first, so it’s worth inspecting those sides more often. Middleton-on-Sea is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. Even so, frame mastic only goes on in dry, workable conditions, while the elevations that take the most sun tend to show hardened mastic first.

Landlords with units on estates such as Ford Airfield Industrial Estate, 2 miles north-east of Middleton-on-Sea, can bring frame, door and external mastic across several units into one programme. If you look after a block within reach of Bognor Regis station, 2.5 miles west of Middleton-on-Sea, frame and balcony mastic can be renewed on one programme.

Common problems we fix in Middleton-on-Sea

Occasionally the substrate fails, not the sealant for instance where render or brick edges crumble. If the edges are unsound, we say so before quoting the sealing.

These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:

  • Repeated reactive repairs to the same buildings
  • Old repairs sealed over failed mastic
  • Draught complaints from residents or tenants
  • Failed external movement joints

Student blocks close to universities like University of Chichester (Bognor Campus), 2 miles west of Middleton-on-Sea, are easiest to work on between tenancies.

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
  • Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
  • Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
  • How long is the guarantee, and what does it include?

Questions to ask before you appoint anyone

What happens if it’s left?

Piecemeal repairs over the years often leave mismatched sealant. A block-wide reseal gives one product, one colour and one guarantee. A failed joint lets water into a building whatever its size. Catching it early means a reseal rather than repairs.

The specified product makes a difference, as does the preparation each joint needs, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.

Why us?

  • Fully insured, including public liability cover
  • CHAS accredited contractor
  • 12 months’ guarantee on every job
  • Colour agreed before work starts
