About our mastic sealing in Small Dole
Across Small Dole and the rest of West Sussex, we work the same way: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed. Addresses, photographs of typical joints and a rough idea of quantities let us give a quick quote or we can visit. Most enquiries involve mastic failing across several blocks on an estate and occupiers reporting cold air round windows, across window and door perimeters on blocks, shopfronts below residential blocks and communal kitchens and washrooms. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, in Small Dole it comes down to the same thing: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Owners and agents with buildings around smaller places such as Small Dole tend to manage small terraces of association properties, converted barns and commercial units. Mastic around frames and on external joints wears out in time, whatever the building.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: preparation, application and finish. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

Should maintenance staff do it?
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
The visible bead is only part of the job. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are where general trades tend to cut corners.

Advice
How the job changes by surface
Planned maintenance
How long mastic lasts depends on exposure, movement and the product used. Regular inspection is the best way to plan resealing.
Window and door perimeters on blocks
We normally work through a block’s windows in a planned order. How each joint is reached is agreed at quote stage.
Owners, agents and contractors
Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units come to us directly as well. We plan around the way the building is used, so the building keeps working while we do.
We work for building owners and managing agents on sealant work across single buildings or whole portfolios around Small Dole. Several sites can go on one quote, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.
Aftercare for building managers
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. Our advice:
- Track which buildings were done and when
- Check the asbestos register before any old mastic is disturbed
- Include mastic in your cyclical inspections
- Reduce knocks to communal area joints
Where a paintable product was specified, it can be painted after curing. Non-paintable silicone shouldn’t be painted over unless told otherwise.
Budgets are easier to plan when sealant is part of planned maintenance. A programme can start with the worst buildings so spending is spread.

For owners and agents in Small Dole
Small Dole lies roughly 42 miles out from central London. Within reach of London, blocks run by agents and associations are common around stations. Rainfall across the South East, Small Dole included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Outside work still depends on dry joints, and south- and west-facing elevations, which take the most sun and rain, often age first.
Property owners at sites such as Mackley Industrial Estate, less than half a mile south of Small Dole, can have mastic renewed between lettings. With historic buildings such as Portslade Manor (to the south-east of Small Dole) in the wider area, owners of older properties around Small Dole should expect mastic to need a product that suits old masonry. For agents with blocks near Shoreham-By-Sea station, which lies south of Small Dole, a block-wide mastic programme deals with frames, balconies and entrances in one go.

Why it’s worth doing now in Small Dole
Sealing over failed mastic looks tidy for a while. It won’t grip the old sealant and soon comes away. Full removal and proper preparation is what lasts. Around Small Dole, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once, rather than one at a time. Send photos of each area and we’ll quote for the lot.
