Mastic sealing in Salvington, done properly
Across Salvington and the rest of West Sussex, we work the same way: you send details, we return a fixed quote, the joints are resealed and the 12-month guarantee follows. Addresses, photographs of typical joints and a rough idea of quantities let us give a quick quote or we can visit. Most enquiries involve leaks at window and door perimeters and draught complaints from residents or tenants, on window and door perimeters on blocks, external wall and movement joints and balcony and threshold joints. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Salvington, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Converted and older buildings in and around Salvington often put modern windows into old walls. The mastic there needs to suit both surfaces.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

Our process
Working in a building that stays open takes some planning. We sign and contain the area we’re in, keep walkways clear and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use. What matters most for a job in Salvington is a clear list of what needs doing. You will then get a fixed price for the work.
- 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.
- We strip out the old sealant.
- Joint faces are cleaned, backed and resealed.
- Buildings are completed in turn.
Preparing the site
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
Get a fixed quote
We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so the cost is agreed before work starts. To ask for one, ring 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.

What sealant work can’t fix
Being straight saves everyone time. New sealant won’t cure:
- Roof leaks, gutters or failed flashings that aren’t sealant joints
- Broken glass or failed sealed units
- Frames that are rotten, warped or broken
Not sure which it is? You can phone 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
- Balcony and threshold joints
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
- External wall and movement joints
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
What affects the price in Salvington
Each job is priced on its own details. The things that drive the figure:
- Access and working height
- Phasing around occupants
- How much existing material needs removing
- How much there is to seal
The specified product makes a difference, as does the preparation each joint needs. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
Before you send an enquiry
A good diagnosis starts with the right details. Let us know:
- What the building is and how it’s used
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- Any dates the work must fit around
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints and a fixed quote comes back to you. If the job needs a look first, we’ll arrange a site visit.
Block-wide mastic in Salvington
Salvington sits close to the coast, within about 3 miles. On buildings near the shore, the side facing the weather usually needs its mastic renewed first, so it’s worth inspecting those sides more often. Salvington is about 48 miles from central London. Around the capital’s commuter belt, managing agents look after many blocks close to stations and town centres, and window and balcony mastic on them tends to age at the same rate.
Site managers at schools like Durrington Infant School can fit frame mastic into the summer works. Churches, halls and community buildings such as St Symphorian's Church are looked after by trustees and committees like any other owner, and their frames, doors and external joints need mastic renewed in time.
Salvington is about 1 mile north of Worthing, in West Sussex. Businesses, contractors and managing agents in Salvington use us for work on mastic joints. We work across 373 places in West Sussex, large and small. There’s a separate page for Brighton, about 12 miles away.

Why it’s worth doing now in Salvington
Looking at mastic during planned maintenance costs little. Waiting until leaks appear means working under pressure and less choice about when. In a smaller place such as Salvington, getting a contractor back for a second visit takes time, so it’s worth dealing with every failing joint at once.
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.

What else we do in Salvington
For managing agents and facilities managers
Planned maintenance programmes are welcome: working through a building or an estate in stages that fit your budget. Sites in Salvington can sit alongside others in a wider programme.
Agents, factors and owners’ representatives all follow the same route: send the details, accept a fixed quote, and we carry out and guarantee the work. We can agree access arrangements and keyholder contacts beforehand.
When to call us in Salvington
Buildings move with temperature and moisture, and the sealant takes up that movement. A joint that was too narrow, too thin or the wrong product can’t cope and fails early.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- The same joint failures repeated across a portfolio
- Draught complaints from residents or tenants
- Failed external movement joints
- Repeated reactive repairs to the same buildings
If you look after a block within reach of West Worthing station, which lies south of Salvington, frame and balcony mastic can be renewed on one programme.
What to look for in a quote
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
- How they’ll work around occupants
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
Salvington: questions and answers
Will you take on a block within reach of West Worthing station?
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 Salvington 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.
Which sealant will you use?
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.
Can you seal joints high up on a block?
Every block is different. How upper joints are reached is agreed before work is booked so the fixed quote reflects it.
What guarantee do you give on resealing?
Every building we reseal has a 12-month guarantee. It covers our workmanship, not later building movement, damage or frame failures.
How long before the joints can be used?
That comes down to the sealant and the temperature. Some take light use quickly, others need longer to cure, and we confirm it before leaving site.
Can you send RAMS and CSCS details before starting?
Let us know your requirements: tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote. We hold CHAS accreditation and Constructionline membership.
