Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but larger jobs are different: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are easy to get wrong without experience.
Construction mastic in Yarbridge
Perimeter sealing outside needs a dry joint and the right temperature. Cold or damp mornings, frost and condensation on frames can all hold external sealing up. Internal sealing often fills those days. Most enquiries involve failed sealant in an existing building being refurbished and different trades sealing to different standards, across floor and skirting junctions, cladding and panel joints and window and door perimeters. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: in Yarbridge, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
In the countryside around places like Yarbridge, conversion schemes put new frames into old stone, flint, brick or timber. Those joints need a sealant that suits an uneven, sometimes porous surface, and often a colour chosen for the building.
We stand behind the joints we seal: 12 months, guaranteed. That covers our preparation and application.

What sealant work can’t fix
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we are upfront when that’s the case. It won’t fix:
- Deciding which fire-stopping product a penetration needs
- Frames fitted out of tolerance
- Specifying the product where the designer hasn’t
If in doubt, phone 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Sanitary and kitchen joints
- Window and door perimeters
- Internal decorators’ caulk
- Brick and block movement joints
- Cladding and panel joints
- Floor and skirting junctions
Why deal with it now?
A cheaper sealant can look like an easy saving on a large package. The saving is small next to the cost of callbacks and defects. We price the specified product and will tell you plainly where an alternative would or wouldn’t work. Older rural buildings around Yarbridge 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.
There’s no price list, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. For a fixed figure, call for a quote and we will price your job on its own details.
Why us?
- Sealing commercial buildings since 2005

How the job changes by surface
External facade and movement joints
Brickwork, blockwork and panel movement joints need a sealant with the right movement capability. We set the depth with backing rod to avoid three-sided adhesion.
Fire-rated sealant where specified
Where the specification calls for fire-rated or intumescent sealant around service penetrations or linear gaps, we install it to the manufacturer’s tested detail. The design and sign-off of fire stopping sit with the designer, principal designer or fire engineer.
Building and refurbishing in Yarbridge
With the shore within about 1 mile, Yarbridge counts as a coastal location. Schemes this close to the sea see their facade joints tested by wind and rain from the day they’re sealed, so joint design, primers and product choice deserve extra care. A 2-mile radius around Yarbridge takes in plenty of hotels. Hotel schemes tend to have fixed reopening dates, so the mastic is programmed tightly with the other trades.
Hotels like Sandown Manor Hotel, 0.8 miles south-east of Yarbridge, rarely close for long, so refurbishment mastic is phased floor by floor. Older buildings in the area around Yarbridge, such as Morton Manor, 0.1 miles to the west of Yarbridge, need care when sealed: the product has to suit soft or historic materials. Projects at schools like Brading Church of England Controlled Primary School work to term dates, so mastic is programmed tightly.
Yarbridge is about 2 miles north-east of Sandown, in the Isle of Wight. Anywhere in PO36, it works the same way: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed. 125 places across the Isle of Wight fall within our area, including Yarbridge. Our Portsmouth page has more on work in that area.

Advice
Your questions answered
Is Spithead Business Centre, near Yarbridge, within your area?
Yes, sites like Spithead Business Centre are within our area, along with the rest of Yarbridge. To start, just ring 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Does a coastal location like Yarbridge affect which sealant is used?
It can. Driven rain and salt are tougher on outside sealant than sheltered inland conditions. We choose the product for the exposure, prime where the manufacturer requires it and size the joint for its movement.
Do you install fire-rated sealant as part of a package?
Fire-rated sealant can be included where it’s specified, installed to the product’s tested detail. The design and sign-off belong to the designer, fire engineer or building control.
What do you charge?
There isn’t a price list, as every site differs. With photographs or drawings, we can give you a fixed quote.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
Asbestos is possible in some older mastics, particularly in buildings from before 2000. Before we disturb old sealant in an older building, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey, and work stops until any suspect material has been tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
How long do sealant joints last?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and the quote will be based on it.
How the quote is worked out
We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Phasing around occupants
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Access and working height
Every site prices differently: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.
Sending details for a quote
We can often quote from photos and a few details. It helps to include:
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- Your programme or deadline
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints are often enough for a fixed quote. Where a site visit makes more sense, we’ll arrange one.
