Advice
About our construction mastic in Godshill
On refurbishments, the mastic package normally includes cutting out old sealant as well as sealing new work. Existing joints have to be stripped back to sound faces, because fresh sealant can’t key into cured silicone. After that, the joints are prepared and sealed to the specification. We work on sanitary and kitchen joints, cladding and panel joints and brick and block movement joints, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are failed sealant in an existing building being refurbished and frame perimeters left unsealed or poorly sealed. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Godshill first comes to us: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Conversions of older rural buildings near smaller places such as Godshill bring stone, flint, brick and timber up against new glazing. A product that grips an irregular face, with a colour that suits the building’s character, is usually what’s needed.
Work we carry out comes with a 12-month guarantee. Should something we installed fail, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will come back to it.

Honest limits
Being straight saves everyone time. New sealant won’t cure:
- Deciding which fire-stopping product a penetration needs
- Designing joint widths or choosing the specification (that sits with the designer)
- Oversized gaps that need packing or adjustment by others
If in doubt, ring 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will say what we think before you book.

Quoting for work in Godshill
The price varies from site to site. Expect it to depend on:
- How much existing material needs removing
- How much there is to seal
- Which sealant the job calls for
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
The work involved drives the cost: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a quote and we’ll explain how it’s made up.
What to include in your enquiry
To price the job accurately, we need a clear picture of the site. Send us:
- The type of building and who uses it
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- Specification clauses that apply
We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so you know the figure before anyone is on site. To ask for one, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.
General trades versus a specialist
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class, which is what makes a joint last.
The visible bead is only part of the job. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are easy to get wrong without experience.
Commercial clients in Godshill
Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units come to us directly as well. The work is planned around how the building runs, so the building keeps working while we do.
CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, we make supplier vetting simple. Our insurance certificate can be sent along with the quote.
Godshill: questions and answers
Is Godshill off your patch?
Not at all. Godshill is within our area. London and every South East county are within our area. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Does your area include sites such as Wroxall Industrial Estate, near Godshill?
Yes. Our area takes in Godshill and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Wroxall Industrial Estate included. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.
Will you come and look before quoting?
That depends on the size and complexity of the job. Simple work can often be priced from photos, and bigger or more complex jobs usually get a visit.
When is resealing likely to be due?
There isn’t a single answer, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
Is any job too small?
Single areas, one-off repairs and whole buildings are all quoted the same way: details, then a fixed price, then sealing, then a 12-month guarantee.
What do you charge?
Every job gets its own fixed quote. To get one, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email us.
Can the sealant be colour-matched?
That depends on the product specified. Some ranges offer many colours, others very few, so we’ll confirm the colours available for the specified product with the quote.

Facades, frames and programmes in Godshill
Godshill is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. Still, external mastic needs dry faces within the maker’s temperature limits, which isn’t every day, so external mastic is timed for workable conditions and agreed with the site manager.
New units and refits on sites such as Wroxall Industrial Estate (to the south-east of Godshill) need their panel and perimeter joints sealed to the specification. Historic houses such as Sheat Manor (to the north-west of Godshill) are a reminder of the older buildings in the wider area, where sealing against old stone, brick or timber needs compatible products. For a contractor working at a hospital such as Whitecroft Hospital, 3.2 miles north-west of Godshill, perimeter and facade sealing is planned around patients and deliveries.

What’s near Godshill
We work on buildings around The Essex pub. For rail, the closest station is Shanklin station, about 3.5 miles east of the centre. Well-known places in the area include Whitecroft Hospital (3.2 miles north-west) and Museum of Country And Agriculture (2.6 miles north-east). Not far away are Alverstone Mead and Stenbury Down.
Why deal with it now?
Some packages split mastic across the window fitter, kitchen fitter and plumber. The result tends to be uneven finishes and arguments about who should seal what. A single mastic package gives one point of responsibility, with the same standard on every plot. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Godshill. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
There’s no price list, since every building and every scope is different. For a fixed figure, call for a quote.
