Mastic sealing in Poynings
Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
For managing agents and facilities managers
For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor, on new build and refurbishment alike. Programme, specification and site rules come first, with CSCS-carded applicators on site.
Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients book us directly too. The work is planned around how the building runs, so the building keeps working while we do.
Mastic sealing for commercial buildings in Poynings
We diagnose before we prescribe: which joints have failed, why, and whether sealant is the right answer. Old mastic is removed entirely, the faces prepared, primer used where the maker specifies it and new sealant tooled in, with backing rod setting the depth where it’s needed. If you’re dealing with old repairs sealed over failed mastic and movement joints with sealant missing, we can put it right, on shopfronts below residential blocks, balcony and threshold joints and window and door perimeters on blocks alike. Most enquiries from Poynings 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.
For buildings around smaller places like Poynings, we group work so one trip covers it. Send photos of the frames and joints and we will give a fixed quote.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: twelve months on the work we carried out. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

Advice
Do you need mastic sealing in Poynings?
Many failed joints were sealed without backing rod so the mastic is bonded on three sides. That three-sided adhesion stops it stretching and it tears.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Repeated reactive repairs to the same buildings
- Movement joints with sealant missing
- Communal area joints that look neglected
- Leaks at window and door perimeters
If you’re responsible for a building such as The Church of the Holy Trinity, frame and door mastic needs the same attention as any other property.

Common questions from Poynings clients
Can you quote for a block close to Hassocks station?
Yes. Managing agents, landlords, property factors and housing associations are who this service is for. We work to your notice and access arrangements.
Is Poynings off your patch?
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 will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
What guarantee do you give on resealing?
Our workmanship carries a 12-month guarantee and we hold public liability insurance.
How long will the new sealant last?
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.
How soon can the area be used again?
We will confirm how long the chosen product needs to cure, and flag anything to keep off until it has cured.
Can you take on resealing for a block portfolio?
Yes, that’s exactly who this service is for. Buildings are scheduled in turn so you can plan around it.
How long does a typical visit take?
It depends on the scope, but the work usually takes a day or two for a single block, longer for an estate programme. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we’ll give you a timescale with the quote.
Why deal with it now?
Draughts round window perimeters cost occupiers comfort and the windows usually get the blame. In many cases, new perimeter sealant deals with it where the frames themselves are sound. Converted and older buildings near places like Poynings tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.
We don’t publish prices, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. For a fixed figure, call for a quote.
Why us?
- Joints cleaned back to sound surfaces
- CSCS-carded applicators
- Colour agreed before work starts
- Clear, fixed quotes

Block-wide mastic in Poynings
Poynings is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. Outside mastic still needs a dry joint and the right temperature, while the elevations that take the most sun tend to show hardened mastic first. Poynings is about 42 miles from central London. Managed blocks of flats are a big part of commuter-belt property.
Buildings close to stations like Hassocks station, 3.3 miles north-east of Poynings, are often flats over shops, with frame mastic to keep sound. With historic buildings such as Portslade Manor, 3.7 miles south of Poynings, in the wider area, owners of older properties around Poynings should expect mastic to need a product that suits old masonry.
Poynings is about 4 miles north of Brighton and Hove, in West Sussex. We send applicators to Poynings for mastic joints. We work across 373 places in West Sussex, from busy centres to rural villages.

How the job changes by surface
Window and door perimeters on blocks
We typically work through a block’s windows in a planned order. How each joint is reached is agreed at quote stage.
External movement joints
The joint width has to suit the movement and the sealant’s capability, often around 2:1 width to depth, as the manufacturer advises.
How the quote is worked out
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, since sites vary so much. What we take into account:
- Phasing around occupants
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- How accessible the joints are
Pricing mastic joints depends on quantities, condition and access, and any specification that applies. Call for a quote.
Before you send an enquiry
Good information means a firmer quote. When you get in touch, include:
- The site address and postcode
- Any specification or named product
- What the building is and how it’s used
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
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.
