About our mastic sealing in Shipton Green
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. Site teams most often ask us about draughts at frames across a block and mastic failing across several blocks on an estate, across balcony and threshold joints, communal kitchens and washrooms and external wall and movement joints. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Shipton Green from the first photos to the final walk-round, whether it’s one building or several.
For buildings around smaller places like Shipton Green, we group work so one trip covers it. Send photographs of the frames and joints and we will give a fixed quote.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and the quote explains what it covers.

Your questions answered
Can being near the sea in Shipton Green affect the sealant we need?
It can. Coastal exposure works external joints harder than inland weather. We check the specified product suits the exposure and pay close attention to preparation.
We manage a building near Bosham station. Can you help?
Yes. Blocks of any size are within what we do. Photos of each elevation help us quote accurately.
Which sealant will you use?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to, and we raise anything unclear before work begins.
Do you check for asbestos in old sealant?
We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials. Anything suspect is tested before we carry on in line with the dutyholder’s asbestos management.
Can weather delay the job?
It can, for external work. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Internal work is far less affected.
Can people stay in the building while you reseal?
Residents and tenants carry on as normal. If any flats or units need access, we’ll tell you in advance so you can arrange it with occupiers.

Work for main contractors and building owners
Building owners and managing agents use us on sealant work across single buildings or whole portfolios. One quote can cover more than one site, which keeps the paperwork simple.
For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor, on new build and refurbishment alike. Programme, specification and site rules come first.
On site: what to expect
We follow your site rules from the start: signing in, inductions and any permit to work. With the paperwork done, the joints are worked through in the order agreed with your site contact, and each area is checked before we leave it. For work around Shipton Green, we aim to finish in one visit, so photographs and measurements up front really help. That way the right products come on the day.
- We inspect the joints, building by building, and record what has failed and why.
- We send a fixed quote that sets out the joints, the products and the programme.
- Dates, areas and access are agreed so residents or tenants can be told in advance.
- We remove the old mastic completely and clean the joint faces back.
- Deep joints get backing rod, faces are primed if the manufacturer specifies it, then the joint is sealed and tooled.
- Completed joints are inspected and carry a 12-month workmanship guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs

What the job involves on each surface
Communal areas
Communal areas stay in use while we work. We work in sections so access is never blocked.
Commercial and mixed-use buildings
Commercial occupiers normally stay open during the work so the work is phased.
Frames, entrances and external joints in Shipton Green
The sea is no more than about 1 mile from Shipton Green. On buildings near the shore, the side facing the weather normally needs its mastic renewed first. Shipton Green sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Outside mastic still needs a dry joint and the right temperature, and the sunniest, most exposed sides of a building typically need attention first.
Buildings close to stations like Bosham station, 3.6 miles to the north of Shipton Green, are often flats over shops, with frame mastic to keep sound. Churches, halls and community buildings such as St Nicholas' Church are looked after by trustees and committees like any other owner, and their frames, doors and external joints need mastic renewed in time. Site managers at schools like Birdham CE Primary School can fit frame mastic into the summer works.

What we can’t put right
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we’re upfront when that’s the case. It won’t fix:
- Glazing that needs replacing
- Water coming in from the roof or rainwater goods
- Old mastic suspected of containing asbestos, which must be tested and dealt with by a specialist first
If in doubt, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll say what we think.
Where we work in Shipton Green
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
- Balcony and threshold joints
- External wall and movement joints
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
How the quote is worked out
To price the job, we consider:
- Any access equipment needed
- Distance, for remote addresses
- Working within restricted access windows
- How much there is to seal
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well, along with the time of year for external work.
Details that help us quote
A few photographs plus some basic facts will normally do. Please tell us:
- Specification clauses that apply
- Your programme or deadline
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- What the building is and how it’s used
A handful of photographs and a postcode is the fastest way to a quote. Send them through the quote form, or speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos to discuss it first.
General trades versus a specialist
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are where general trades tend to cut corners.
There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
