How we handle facade sealing in Ashey
We don’t install glazing systems or replace glass. We handle the sealant joints that surround those elements: the frame-to-structure perimeter, panel-to-panel joints and window and door surrounds. If you’re dealing with cold air coming in at window perimeters and patch repairs that keep failing, we can help, on window and door perimeters, stone and brick facade joints and shopfront frames alike. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Ashey, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Around smaller places like Ashey, building work typically means conversions of farm buildings, a few new houses or an extension to a hall or school. Perimeters, facade joints and internal sealant all need doing properly, however small the scheme.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: preparation, application and finish. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

Signs you need facade sealing in Ashey
Cohesive failure, a split through the middle of the bead, points to an over-stretched joint. The joint may be too narrow, the bead too thin or the sealant the wrong movement class.
Clients usually get in touch after noticing one or more of the following:
- Failed sealant on precast panel joints
- Old perimeter mastic that has dried out
- Failed seals around shopfront and entrance frames
- Leaks at window and door perimeters
Older buildings in the area around Ashey, such as Nunwell House (1.5 miles south-east of Ashey), need care when sealed: the product has to suit soft or historic materials.
Questions to ask before you book
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
Different surfaces, different methods
Cladding panel joints
On sealed panel systems, every joint keeps water out. Failed runs are cut out and rebuilt end to end.
Precast concrete panels
Joints between precast panels carry real movement. We use a sealant with the right movement capability, set over backing rod, primed where the maker specifies.
Mastic packages on Ashey sites
With the shore within about 3 miles, Ashey counts as a coastal location. On a coastal site, facade and perimeter joints face driven rain and, closer to the beach, salt, so we check the specified product suits the exposure before the first bead. Ashey is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. That doesn’t stop wet spells, or frosty starts that leave panels too damp to seal, so the external programme keeps a little slack.
For contractors refurbishing units at places like Ryde Business Park, which lies north-east of Ashey, the mastic covers cladding panels, roller-door and window perimeters. Projects at schools like Ryde Academy work to term dates, so mastic is programmed tightly.
Ashey is about 2 miles south-west of Ryde, in the Isle of Wight. Any commercial site in Ashey is covered. 125 places across the Isle of Wight fall within our area, Ashey among them. There’s a separate page for Portsmouth, about 9 miles away.
We take on facade joints across the PO33 postcode area, whatever the building. Nearby places we also cover include Adgestone (2 miles south-east), Brading (2 miles south-east), Morton (2 miles south-east), Alverstone Garden Village (2 miles south) and Yarbridge (2 miles south-east) for facade joints. Nearby towns on our patch include Newport (5 miles west), Cowes (7 miles north-west), Sandown (3 miles south), Shanklin (5 miles south), Ventnor (7 miles south) and East Cowes (6 miles north-west). Island and remote sites need extra planning, with travel, ferry crossings where needed and weather to allow for, so give the site location in your enquiry.
Near you in Ashey
The nearest railway station is Smallbrook Junction station, about 1.5 miles north-east of the centre. Nearby you’ll also find Sandown Castle (3.3 miles south-east) and Cothey Bottom Heritage Centre (2 miles north-east). Not far away are Briddlesford Nature Reserve and Brading Down.
Should maintenance staff do it?
There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
Redoing a failed joint usually costs more than getting it right at the outset, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
From enquiry to sign-off
Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will plan around them. While we’re working, the area stays contained and tidy, and we check in with your contact before moving on to each new area. Jobs in and around smaller places like Ashey are normally planned as a single visit, so photos and measurements up front really help. That way the right products come on the day.
- Photos, drawings or a visit tell us about the joints and the access.
- We confirm the joint type, movement and the specified product.
- Failed beads are removed in full and the joint faces cleaned.
- Primer is applied where the maker specifies it.
- Backing rod is fitted and the new sealant gunned in and tooled.
- We go over the completed work with you before leaving.
Getting the site ready
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Have the specification and drawings to hand

Advice
Maintenance after handover
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Record the product and colour used on each elevation
- Clear debris that holds water against joints
- Plan facade sealing alongside redecoration
- Don’t wait for a second leak before calling
Keep gutters, sills and drainage paths clear. Good drainage keeps water moving off the facade.
Planned resealing is cheaper than reacting to leaks. Regular checks let you renew joints before water gets in instead of after the damage.

Cost factors for facade joints
We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Distance, for remote addresses
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- The site’s rules and procedures
The specified product makes a difference, as does the preparation each joint needs, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
Details that help us quote
We can often quote from photographs and a few details. It helps to include:
- The postcode of the building
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- What the building is and how it’s used

Questions about Ashey
Does a coastal location like Ashey 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.
Can you work on a hospital site such as Arthur Webster Memorial Hospital for Children?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Which sealant will you use?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
Can you work on upper floors?
That comes down to the access arranged for the job. When you phone 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings, describe the access, and we will agree the approach together.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, and the certificate can go with your quote.
Will you quote for a small job?
We quote for single jobs as well as large packages and programmes. Photos and a description are enough to start.
How do I request a quote?
There are four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. Step one needs little more than photos and a postcode.
