What affects the price in West Preston
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, since sites vary so much. What we look at:
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Any access equipment needed
- How much existing material needs removing
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.
What to include in your enquiry
A few photos plus some basic facts will normally do. It helps to include:
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- Your programme or deadline
- What the building is and how it’s used
Send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed: that’s how every job runs. The first step is to call 01277 525 020 or send photos by email with what you know.
How we handle mastic sealing in West Preston
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. We work on external wall and movement joints, communal kitchens and washrooms and communal entrances and stairwells, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are water getting in round frames after rain and open joints in brickwork or panels. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, in West Preston it comes down to the same thing: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Converted and older buildings in and around West Preston often put modern windows into old walls. The mastic there needs to suit both surfaces.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee, in West Preston as everywhere else we work. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

Questions about West Preston
Is a smaller place like West Preston outside your area?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Will you take on a block within reach of Angmering station?
Yes. Managing agents, landlords, property factors and housing associations are who this service is for. Send the address, photos of the elevations and your access arrangements, and we will give a fixed quote.
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.
Do you supply RAMS and insurance details?
Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote. We hold CHAS accreditation and Constructionline membership.
How many days will you need on site?
The duration is planned around your programme and the access we’re given. We will give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
Can you reseal a whole block or estate?
Block-wide and estate programmes are common. You get a fixed quote per building or for the whole job.
Is mastic sealing guaranteed?
Our workmanship carries a 12-month guarantee and we hold public liability insurance.
Surface by surface
Communal areas
We keep entrances and stairs open throughout. We work in sections so access is never blocked.
External movement joints
Movement joints are cleaned out, backed with rod and resealed with a sealant of the right movement class.
Should maintenance staff do it?
Certain joints really need a specialist: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. Getting these wrong usually costs more in the end than doing them right.
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but larger jobs are different: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.

Why deal with it now?
Replacing mastic before water gets in is a planned job. Once water has tracked in, the repair list grows, and the complaints come with it. In a smaller place such as West Preston, getting a contractor back for a second visit takes time, so we’d suggest renewing all the joints that are going, not just the worst.
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well.
Why us?
- Commercial sealant work since 2005
- Matching to RAL references, product permitting

For managing agents and facilities managers
Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients come to us directly as well. We plan around the way the building is used, so the building keeps working while we do.
Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor, on new build and refurbishment alike. Programme, specification and site rules come first.
Looking after buildings in and around West Preston
With the shore within about 1 mile, West Preston counts as a coastal location. Sea-facing elevations take driven rain and salt, and their mastic shows it before the sheltered sides do; plan inspections around that. Rainfall across the South East, West Preston included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Outside mastic still needs a dry joint and the right temperature, and south- and west-facing elevations, which take the most sun and rain, often age first.
Landlords with units on estates such as Rustington Trading Estate (to the north-west of West Preston) can bring frame, door and external mastic across several units into one programme. Schools and community buildings such as Georgian Gardens Community Primary School need frame and external mastic kept sound like any building. If you look after a block within reach of Angmering station, which lies north-east of West Preston, frame and balcony mastic can be renewed on one programme.

Our process

Clear photos and measurements help us bring the right products.

- Dates and areas are agreed so occupiers can be told.

- New sealant goes in with backing rod and primer where needed.
- Each building is checked and signed off with the 12-month guarantee.
