Mastic sealing in West Wittering, done properly
Different joints need different sealants. Low-modulus neutral-cure silicone suits many window perimeters and external movement joints, and MS polymer sealants stick well to many substrates and often take paint. We’ll confirm the colours available for the specified product. Most enquiries involve mastic failing across several blocks on an estate and old repairs sealed over failed mastic, on communal entrances and stairwells, window and door perimeters on blocks and external wall and movement joints. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in West Wittering, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Rural conversions near places like West Wittering 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 ends the same way: guaranteed. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and the quote explains what it covers.

Keeping the joints sound
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Prioritise elevations facing the weather
- Log resealing dates block by block
- Check sealant joints during planned building inspections
- Protect low-level joints in entrances
Our workmanship is covered for 12 months, so report any failure in that time. After that, regular inspection keeps the programme on track.
Joints on a building age together so a single failure is a sign to check the rest. Doing them together saves going back again and again.
Honest limits
Honesty saves time and money. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- Asbestos-containing sealant, which we don’t remove
- Masonry that has broken away beside the joint
- Leaks through the frame itself rather than the perimeter
If you are not sure, just ring 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Blocks and managed buildings in West Wittering
West Wittering sits close to the coast, within about 1 mile. Sea-facing elevations take driven rain and salt, and their mastic shows it before the sheltered sides do, and they deserve more regular inspection. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Outside work still depends on dry joints, while the elevations that take the most sun tend to show hardened mastic first.
Schools and community buildings such as West Wittering Parochial Church of England School need frame and external mastic kept sound like any building. Churches, halls and community buildings such as The Parish Church of St Peter and St Paul are looked after by trustees and committees like any other owner, and their frames, doors and external joints need mastic renewed in time. If you look after a block within reach of Nutbourne station (4.6 miles north of West Wittering), frame and balcony mastic can be renewed on one programme.

Doing it in-house
Certain joints really need a specialist: for instance fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong normally costs more in the end than doing them right.
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.

Questions we’re asked in West Wittering
Can you quote for a block close to Nutbourne station?
Yes, and several blocks can go on one quote. Send the address, photographs of the elevations and your access arrangements, and we’ll give a fixed quote.
Is West Wittering off your patch?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. London and every South East county are within our area. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Do you guarantee the mastic work?
Our workmanship carries a 12-month guarantee, backed by public liability insurance.
Is asbestos a concern with old mastic?
In older buildings, old mastic can contain asbestos. We ask for the asbestos register or survey before work starts and suspect material is tested first.
How long does a typical visit take?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. We’ll give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
Outside, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Internal work is rarely affected.
How soon can the area be used again?
We will confirm how long the chosen product needs to cure.
Our process
Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. On site, the work typically takes a day or two for a single block, longer for an estate programme, and our waste is bagged and taken away as we go. For work around West Wittering, we aim to finish in one visit, so we ask for photos and rough sizes first. Then the right materials arrive with us.
