How we handle mastic sealing in Strettington
For blocks and buildings in Strettington and across West Sussex, the process is the same: you send details, we return a fixed quote, the joints are resealed and the 12-month guarantee follows. Addresses, photos of typical joints and a rough idea of quantities let us give a quick quote, and site visits can be arranged. If you have failed external movement joints and patchy repairs in mismatched sealant, we can put it right, on communal entrances and stairwells, balcony and threshold joints and external wall and movement joints alike. For commercial sealant work in Strettington, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, whether it’s one building or several.
Rural conversions near places like Strettington often set modern frames into older stone, flint or brick. Perimeter mastic there has to grip an uneven face and suit the building’s character.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee, wherever the site is. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

Advice
Leave it or put it right?
Dealing with failed joints one report at a time is slow and scattered. A planned programme treats each building once, under a single quote and a single programme. Older rural buildings around Strettington move with the seasons, and rigid or tired sealant can’t keep up. A sealant with the right movement capability, correctly sized, lasts far better.
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well, along with the time of year for external work.
Why us?
- Specification-led, product-correct work

What else we do in Strettington
General trades versus a specialist
Redoing a failed joint typically costs more than getting it right at the outset, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
Common questions from Strettington clients
Do you cover business parks and estates near Strettington, such as Temple Bar Business Park?
Yes. Our area takes in Strettington and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Temple Bar Business Park included. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Will you take on a block within reach of Chichester station?
Yes. Blocks of any size are within what we do. Send the address, photos of the elevations and your access arrangements, and we will give a fixed quote.
How long before the joints can be used?
That comes down to the sealant and the temperature. Some products skin over quickly but need longer to cure fully, and we confirm it before leaving site.
Do you do block-wide mastic programmes?
Yes, planned programmes suit estates and portfolios. The quote can be split however suits your budgeting.
Do you work with property factors and landlords?
Yes, block and estate work is a core part of what we do. Buildings are scheduled in turn with dates agreed in advance.
Who decides which product is used?
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.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.

Aftercare for building managers
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Pass these on to them:
- Check sealant joints during planned building inspections
- Make it easy for occupiers to report draughts
- Have the asbestos survey to hand for older buildings
- Protect low-level joints in entrances
Add mastic joints to your cyclical inspections. Check for splits, open joints, brittle mastic and lifting edges and record where they are.
Water getting in round frames can damage plaster, decoration and the frames themselves. Early resealing is far simpler than repairs inside.
