Quoting for work in Sompting
A fixed quote reflects the actual work. It takes account of:
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Access and working height
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Which sealant the job calls for
Pricing mastic joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access, and any specification that applies. Call for a quote.
What we need to price the job
It doesn’t need to be a full survey. A few details are enough to get going:
- The type of building and who uses it
- Specification clauses that apply
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- Where the site is, with the postcode
Every quote starts with the facts: what’s there, how much of it, how we reach it and what’s specified. Share whatever details you have and we will fill any gaps with a visit.
Mastic sealing for commercial buildings in Sompting
Our clients include managing agents, property factors in Scotland, housing associations and landlords with block or commercial portfolios. Many prefer a planned programme to one-off visits, with each block quoted and scheduled in turn. Site teams most often ask us about occupiers reporting cold air round windows and leaks at window and door perimeters, on communal kitchens and washrooms, window and door perimeters on blocks and communal entrances and stairwells. Most enquiries from Sompting start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
For landlords and associations with stock in and around Sompting, grouping buildings into one visit saves travel. Send the addresses and photos and we’ll quote for all of them together.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work in West Sussex. Should something we installed fail, call the office on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll come back to it.

How the job changes by surface
Planned maintenance
Mastic wears out like any building component; how fast comes down to movement, weather, UV and the product. Inspecting joints regularly keeps programmes on track.
Commercial and mixed-use buildings
Commercial buildings have mastic at shopfronts, entrances and external joints. A planned programme suits multi-building portfolios.
When to bring in a specialist
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. The usual problems come from preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
Block-wide mastic in Sompting
With the shore within about 2 miles, Sompting counts as a coastal location. Blocks and commercial buildings facing the sea take the most weather on their window perimeters and external joints, and they deserve more regular inspection. Central London is about 47 miles from Sompting. Within reach of London, blocks run by agents and associations are common around stations, and window and balcony mastic on them tends to age at the same rate.
Older community buildings, St Peter the Apostle among them, often have frames of mixed ages whose mastic varies. Buildings close to stations like Lancing station (0.8 miles south-east of Sompting) are often flats over shops, with frame mastic to keep sound. Site managers at schools like Sompting Village Primary School can fit frame mastic into the summer works.

FAQs: Sompting
Will you take on work at estates like Rectory Farm Road Business Park, close to Sompting?
Yes. We cover Sompting and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Rectory Farm Road Business Park. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Will you take on a block within reach of Lancing station?
Yes. Blocks of any size are within what we do. Send the address, photographs of the elevations and your access arrangements, and we will give a fixed quote.
How long does a typical visit take?
That varies with the scale of the job, though a typical visit typically takes a few days for most blocks, with larger programmes scheduled building by building. For bigger or phased jobs, we will set out a timescale with the quote.
What guarantee do you give on resealing?
Every building we reseal has a 12-month guarantee. It applies to our workmanship rather than damage or problems with the frames.
Do you cover Sompting?
Yes. We cover Sompting and the rest of West Sussex. For a quote, call 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to, and we raise anything unclear before work begins.
How long do sealant joints last?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
Why deal with it now?
Failed perimeter mastic lets cold air in around frames, and they often blame the windows. In many cases, new perimeter sealant deals with it when the frames themselves are sound. Over time, UV, weather and movement wear any sealant out. Replacing it before it fails keeps water out.
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote and we’ll put a fixed figure on it.

Looking after the joints
For the best life from the joints:
- Check sealant joints during planned building inspections
- Encourage occupiers to report problems at frames
- List the paperwork your organisation requires when you send details
- Have the asbestos survey to hand for older buildings
Encourage occupiers to report water or draughts at frames. A quick report keeps a small repair small.
Water getting in round frames can damage plaster, decoration and the frames themselves. Resealing early keeps the job small.
