Facade sealing in Lake, done properly
Weather decides a lot in facade sealing. Joints have to be dry and the air and surface temperature within the product’s range, and cold, damp starts can delay work. We build that into the programme and tell you if the forecast changes the plan. We work on cladding panel joints, coping and flashing joints and window and door perimeters, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are hard, chalky sealant that no longer flexes and damp patches beside frames after rain. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, in Lake it comes down to the same thing: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
On a small site around Lake, the mastic is best done in the fewest visits we can manage. Let us know the key stages and we’ll time the work so nothing waits on us.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee, in Lake as everywhere else we work. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

Facades, frames and programmes in Lake
The sea is no more than about 1 mile from Lake. Coastal exposure means perimeter and cladding joints work harder than on an inland job, so we check the specified product suits the exposure before the first bead. A 2-mile radius around Lake takes in plenty of hotels. When hotels extend or refit, the work is usually squeezed between peak periods, mastic included.
Historic houses such as Rylstone Manor (1.7 miles south of Lake) 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 at a hotel such as Melville Hall Hotel, which lies north-east of Lake, the mastic often has to be finished before a reopening date. Projects at schools like Broadlea Primary School work to term dates, so mastic is programmed tightly.
Lake is about 1 mile south-west of Sandown, in the Isle of Wight. Anywhere in PO36, the process is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed. Lake is one of 125 places in the Isle of Wight on our list. There’s a separate page for Portsmouth, about 12 miles away.
Postcode districts covered here: PO36 and PO37. If your site is on Lea Road, New Road and Percy Road or close by, we can quote for facade joints. Access to Lake is via the A3055. If your building is just outside Lake, we cover Sandown (1 mile north-east), Alverstone (1 mile north-west), Queen's Bower (1 mile north-west), Shanklin (1 mile south) and Alverstone Garden Village (1 mile north-west). Bigger towns within reach include Newport (7 miles north-west), Ryde (5 miles north), Cowes (10 miles north-west), Ventnor (4 miles south-west), East Cowes (9 miles north-west) and Oakfield (5 miles north). Remote and island addresses take more planning, from travel and ferries to the weather, so mention the location when you phone 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.
Local landmarks in Lake
Around Lake, our work takes us to commercial buildings near Sandown Bay Academy, The Old Comical pub and The Bay Church of England School, among other places. Lake has its own railway station: Lake station. A little further out are National Poo Museum (under half a mile east) and Arthur Webster Memorial Hospital for Children (1.2 miles south-west). The countryside around Lake includes Brading Down and Alverstone Mead.
What sets the cost
Each job is priced on its own details. The main factors are:
- The product specified
- How accessible the joints are
- Working within restricted access windows
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
The price depends on how many linear metres there are, what has to come out first and the access. Call for a quote when you are ready.
Before you send an enquiry
To price the job accurately, we need to understand the site. Useful things to include:
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- Access details, including height
- The type of building and who uses it
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
Send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed: that’s how every job runs. The first step is to phone 01277 525 020 or send photos by email with what you know.
FAQs: Lake
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Arthur Webster Memorial Hospital for Children?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Our building in Lake is near the coast: does that change the sealant?
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.
Should we check old sealant for asbestos?
It’s worth checking in any building from before 2000. The duty to manage asbestos sits with the dutyholder. If asbestos is suspected, work stops until it is tested.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. CHAS accredited, Constructionline member, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
Do you seal facades in winter?
Rain and frost can pause external sealing. We plan for weather and keep you updated.
When is resealing likely to be due?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
What’s the quickest route to a quote?
There are four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. Step one needs little more than photographs and a postcode.
Other services in Lake
Should maintenance staff do it?
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.
Paperwork matters too. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
Maintenance after handover
For the best life from the joints:
- Never let anyone seal over old sealant
- Report water ingress at frames as soon as it shows
- Keep pressure washers away from fresh sealant
- Add perimeter sealant to planned maintenance checks
Blocked sills and gutters push water at the joints. Sealant copes better when water runs off the facade as designed.
Coordinate facade sealing with other external works. One set-up for several trades saves money and limits disruption.
On site: what to expect
Site rules come first: sign-in, induction and whatever permit system the building uses. Once we are cleared to begin, we take the joints in the sequence agreed with you, and each area is checked before we leave it. What matters most for a job in Lake is a clear list of what needs doing. You’ll then get a fixed price for the work.
- We look at the joints, the drawings and the access before pricing.
- The old bead is cut away completely, not overlaid.
- Both faces are cleaned and, where the product needs it, primed.
- Backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints, limits the depth.
- A facade-grade sealant rated for the movement goes in, tooled to a concave profile.
- The completed runs are checked with you, then the 12-month guarantee applies.
What we need from you
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work

What happens if it’s left?
Patch repairs over old sealant tend to come back. A full cut-out and reseal costs more on the day but lasts much longer. Small buildings around Lake suffer from failed joints as much as large ones. Early resealing avoids the damage that follows a leak.
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote and we will put a fixed figure on it.

What we can’t put right
Honesty saves time and money. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- Damaged frames that need replacing
- Leaks from roofs, gutters or failed flashings rather than sealant joints
- Joints whose design needs changing by the specifier
Not sure which it is? You can give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
