Surface by surface
Perimeter joints at frames and structure
Where framed systems such as shopfronts meet the building structure, there is a perimeter joint to seal. We seal those perimeter joints rather than the system it surrounds.
Coping and flashing joints
Coping and flashing joints are included where sealant is the specified fix. These joints take full exposure to weather.
Facade sealing in Branstone
We are often asked to look at water coming in around frames. Failed perimeter sealant is a frequent cause, though that isn’t the only cause. We will tell you if we think the leak is coming from somewhere sealant won’t fix. If you have cladding panel joints that have opened up and sealant pulling away from frames or panels, we can put it right, on window and door perimeters, coping and flashing joints and perimeter joints where frames meet the structure alike. For commercial sealant work in Branstone, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, whether it’s one building or several.
Conversions of older rural buildings near smaller places such as Branstone bring stone, flint, brick and timber up against new glazing. Those joints need a sealant that suits an uneven, sometimes porous surface, and often a colour chosen for the building.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we are clear about what is covered before work starts.

Why it’s worth doing now in Branstone
Failed joints let in more than water: occupants notice draughts and cold spots around windows. A new seal closes the gap for both. Around Branstone, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well.

Doing it in-house
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. Where it goes wrong is preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
There’s also the paperwork. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and we’ll confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
What we can’t put right
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Movement beyond what any sealant can handle
- Damaged frames that need replacing
- Providing access systems for the work
If in doubt, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think.

Your questions answered
Does a coastal location like Branstone affect which sealant is used?
It can, yes: buildings near the sea take more wind-driven rain, and salt in the air nearer the shore. Product choice and preparation matter more, and sea-facing elevations are worth inspecting more often.
Can you work on a hospital site such as Arthur Webster Memorial Hospital for Children?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Is it okay to overlay old mastic?
No. Fresh silicone won’t grip cured silicone, so the existing bead is removed entirely and the joint cleaned back to sound material. That is what makes the new joint last.
Does the weather affect the work?
It can, for external work. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
Do you provide access for facade work?
That varies with the building and the access on offer. When you call 01277 525 020 or send photos by email, describe the access, and we will plan the work with you.
When can you be on site?
We are in the office from 8am until 5pm, Monday to Friday. Tell us your site hours and access windows and the work will be fitted around them.
Can the building stay open while you work?
Typically, yes. We phase the work so most of the building stays in use.
Owners, agents and contractors
We take on planned maintenance as well as one-off repairs: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. Branstone can form part of a wider programme.
Facilities managers want contractors who arrive with the paperwork sorted. Tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we will confirm with the quote.
Our process
On arrival, we sign in, go through any site induction and check how permits are handled. Everything around the joints gets protected before any cutting starts, and the work usually takes a day or two for a few elevations, and longer where access has to be moved around the building. Rural sites near Branstone may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Add it to your enquiry and we’ll build it into the plan.
- Access, site rules and timing are settled with the client up front.
- We only seal when joints are dry and within the product’s temperature range.
- Each joint is cut out and the edges inspected.
- Faces are cleaned, primed where needed and backed.
- Facade-grade sealant goes in and is tooled to a tidy concave profile.
- Once signed off, the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs

Sites and facades in and around Branstone
With the shore within about 3 miles, Branstone counts as a coastal location. On a coastal site, facade and perimeter joints face driven rain and, closer to the beach, salt, which puts weight on correct joint sizing, priming and a sealant suited to the exposure. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Even so, frost and condensation on steel and glass are common on winter mornings, so we time external mastic for dry faces and agree it with the site team.
Extensions at sites like Arthur Webster Memorial Hospital for Children (1.8 miles south-east of Branstone) usually sit beside working departments, and the mastic follows strict access rules. Hotel extensions and refits, at places such as Apse Manor Country Hotel, which lies south of Branstone, normally run between busy periods, so the sealing is squeezed into short windows. Older buildings in the area around Branstone, such as Haseley Manor, 1.2 miles north-west of Branstone, need care when sealed: the product has to suit soft or historic materials.
Branstone is about 5 miles south-east of Newport, in the Isle of Wight. Any commercial site in Branstone is covered, whether it’s a single job or part of a planned programme.

Island and remote sites need extra planning, with travel, ferry crossings where needed and weather to allow for, so mention the location when you ring 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.
