How we handle mastic sealing in Shripney
Most buildings come with mastic joints nobody has looked at since handover, and it ages quietly: window perimeters, door frames, external joints and communal junctions all rely on it. Once it cracks, hardens or comes away, draughts and water find a way in, and occupiers start reporting it. Site teams most often ask us about occupiers reporting cold air round windows and brittle perimeter mastic across a building, across external wall and movement joints, communal kitchens and washrooms and window and door perimeters on blocks. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Shripney from the first photos to the final walk-round, whether it’s one building or several.
For buildings around smaller places like Shripney, we group work so one trip covers it. Photos of each elevation help us quote accurately.

When something else is needed
Being straight saves everyone time. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- Water coming in from the roof or rainwater goods
- Masonry that has broken away beside the joint
- Old mastic suspected of containing asbestos, which must be tested and dealt with by a specialist first

Mastic sealing in Shripney: the local picture
Shripney is within about 3 miles of the coast. On buildings near the shore, the side facing the weather typically needs its mastic renewed first. Central London is about 54 miles from Shripney. 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.
If you are responsible for a building such as Holy Cross Church, frame and door mastic needs the same attention as any other property. Landlords with units on estates such as Saltbox Business Park., less than half a mile to the south of Shripney, can bring frame, door and external mastic across several units into one programme.
Shripney is about 2 miles north-east of Bognor Regis, in West Sussex. Our applicators travel to Shripney for work on mastic joints. Across West Sussex, 373 places are covered, Shripney among them. For work in that direction, see our Portsmouth page, about 18 miles away.

Surface by surface
Window and door perimeters on blocks
Window and door perimeters are where most mastic failure shows. Old perimeter mastic is removed, the joint prepared and new sealant tooled in.
Communal areas
We keep entrances and stairs open throughout. Work is planned in sections.
From enquiry to sign-off
On arrival, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before any cutting starts, and the work typically takes a few days for most blocks, with larger programmes scheduled building by building. Jobs in and around smaller places like Shripney are normally planned as a single visit, so photos and measurements up front really help. That way the right products come on the day.
- Each block or building is walked and the failed joints recorded with the likely cause.
- You get a fixed quote, priced per building where that helps your budgeting.
- The programme is fixed with you, including dates you can pass on to residents or tenants.
- Failed mastic is removed and the faces taken back to sound, dry material.
- 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.
What we need from you
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
- Arrange parking or a loading space

- What site paperwork they can supply
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
Aftercare for building managers
Regular inspection catches problems early. Specifically:
- Share your contractor requirements early
- Group repairs into a planned programme
- Encourage occupiers to report problems at frames
- Have the asbestos survey to hand for older buildings
Add mastic joints to your cyclical inspections. Check for splits, open joints, brittle mastic and lifting edges and record where they are.
Leaks at window perimeters spoil finishes and can affect frames. Early resealing is far simpler than repairs inside.
