Sealant work in Wick for main contractors, managing agents and facilities managers: mastic sealing for building owners, managing agents and housing associations, quoted at a fixed price.

Mastic sealing near Wick
Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
Doing it in-house
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but larger jobs are different: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
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. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
Mastic sealing for commercial buildings in Wick
Older blocks and commercial buildings can have mastic that contains asbestos. Before we disturb it, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey and if it’s suspected, work stops until it’s tested. Removing asbestos-containing material isn’t something we do. If you’re dealing with draught complaints from residents or tenants and the same joint failures repeated across a portfolio, we can put it right, on window and door perimeters on blocks, balcony and threshold joints and communal kitchens and washrooms alike. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Wick first comes to us: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
Places the size of Wick typically have some housing association stock, small blocks and mixed-use buildings. The mastic around their frames and external joints ages like anywhere else.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and the quote explains what it covers.

What else we do in Wick
Why act early in Wick
Leaving failed external joints lets water reach the structure behind. That can lead to damp, staining and damage to finishes, which is harder to deal with than resealing. Small buildings around Wick suffer from failed joints as much as large ones. Catching it early means a reseal rather than repairs.
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote and we will put a fixed figure on it.

From enquiry to sign-off
We begin with a short walk round with whoever looks after the building, to confirm the scope, the order of work and any areas we must keep clear. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in. What matters most for a job in Wick is a clear list of what needs doing. A fixed quote follows.
- First we look at the mastic on each building and note what needs replacing.
- You get a fixed quote, priced per building where that helps your budgeting.
- Dates, areas and access are agreed so residents or tenants can be told in advance.
- We remove the old mastic completely and clean the joint faces back.
- Deep joints get backing rod, faces are primed if the manufacturer specifies it, then the joint is sealed and tooled.
- Each building is checked on completion and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Getting the site ready
- Flag any permit to work we’ll need
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings

Advice
Frames, entrances and external joints in Wick
The sea is no more than about 2 miles from Wick. Blocks and commercial buildings facing the sea take the most weather on their window perimeters and external joints. Wick is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. Outside work still depends on dry joints, while the elevations that take the most sun tend to show hardened mastic first.
If you’re responsible for a building such as All Saints, frame and door mastic needs the same attention as any other property. Property owners at sites such as Lineside Road Industrial Estate (to the south-west of Wick) can have mastic renewed between lettings. Historic properties like Ecclesden Manor (3.5 miles east of Wick) show the age of some local stock, where frame mastic must suit soft brick or stone.
Wick is about 1 mile north-west of Littlehampton, in West Sussex. Any commercial site in Wick is covered, for single jobs and planned programmes alike. 373 places across West Sussex fall within our area, Wick among them. Sites around Brighton have their own page, roughly 18 miles from Wick.

Cost factors for mastic joints
What shapes the price:
- Access and working height
- Working within restricted access windows
- The product specified
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.
What we need to price the job
Good information means a firmer quote. Helpful details to send:
- Any dates the work must fit around
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- The type of building and who uses it
- Where the site is, with the postcode

Common questions from Wick clients
Is Wick off your patch?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across Greater London and the South East. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Do you work in occupied care homes around Wick?
Yes. We work around residents’ routines, a room or two at a time. We follow the home’s own procedures throughout.
Will you quote for a small job?
Small jobs are welcome alongside larger packages. Photos and a description are enough to start.
Can you take on resealing for a block portfolio?
Yes. Managing agents, property factors in Scotland, housing associations and landlords with block or commercial portfolios are our main clients for this work and work can be quoted per building or as a whole.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
How much does the work cost?
That depends on the job: the volume of work, the access, the specified product and how it’s phased. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll price it properly.
What if the old mastic contains asbestos?
Some mastics in pre-2000 buildings contain asbestos. We ask for the asbestos register or survey before work starts and suspect material is tested first.
Maintenance after handover
After handover, a little attention goes a long way:
- Mention RAMS, insurance or CSCS requirements up front
- Make mastic part of routine maintenance checks
- Reduce knocks to communal area joints
- Check the asbestos register before any old mastic is disturbed
Keep records of when each building was resealed. It helps plan the next round and shows what was done.
One failed perimeter normally means others on the same building are close so a single failure is a sign to check the rest. A planned reseal saves repeated visits.
Different surfaces, different methods
Estate-wide resealing programmes
An estate of similar buildings suits a rolling programme. We quote building by building and work through them in turn.
Tenement and older buildings
Natural stone can be marked by the wrong sealant and we choose accordingly.
