Facade sealing across Nettlecombe

Send drawings, photos or a joint schedule, or tell us about the site, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Surface by surface

Coping and flashing joints

Coping and flashing joints are included where sealant is the specified fix. These joints take full exposure to weather, so preparation and product choice matter.

Brick and stone facades

Joints in natural stone need care to avoid staining. We use a product suitable for the stone where the specification names one, with masked edges for a clean line.

Facade sealing for commercial buildings in Nettlecombe

Our facade sealing work covers external facade joints, window and door perimeters, cladding panel joints and the perimeter joints where frames meet the structure on offices, blocks and industrial units. Where sealant is the specified fix, we also take on coping and flashing joints. The enquiries we see most involve staining on stone next to old sealant and air leaks through failed facade joints, on cladding panel joints, shopfront frames and stone and brick facade joints. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Nettlecombe first comes to us: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.

For a site near Nettlecombe, the mastic visit is planned so the right sealants, primers and backing rod are on hand. Drawings, photographs and the programme let us give a fixed quote.

We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

What sealant work can’t fix

Our job is the joint, not everything around it. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:

  • Movement beyond what any sealant can handle
  • Arranging specialist high-level access, which is planned with the client
  • Water getting in through cracked render or porous masonry

If in doubt, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we will say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we seal

  • Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
  • Coping and flashing joints
  • Stone and brick facade joints
  • Window and door perimeters
  • Shopfront frames
  • Cladding panel joints

Mastic packages on Nettlecombe sites

Nettlecombe lies within about 2 miles of the sea. Schemes this close to the sea see their facade joints tested by wind and rain from the day they’re sealed, and the sealant, primer and backing need choosing with that in mind. Nettlecombe is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. Even so, frost and condensation on steel and glass are common on winter mornings, so external mastic is timed for workable conditions and agreed with the site manager.

With historic properties like Rylstone Manor (to the north-east of Nettlecombe) in the area, refurbishment work often meets old masonry that needs compatible sealants. Further education sites such as St Catherine's College, 2.7 miles to the east of Nettlecombe, are extended and refurbished from time to time, with mastic often programmed into the summer break. Hotels like St. Rhadagunds Hotel (1.2 miles south-east of Nettlecombe) rarely close for long, so refurbishment mastic is phased floor by floor.

Nettlecombe is about 7 miles south of Newport, in the Isle of Wight. If you are looking for facade sealing in Nettlecombe, we can help. Nettlecombe is one of 125 places in the Isle of Wight on our list for facade joints. Sites around Portsmouth have their own page, roughly 16 miles from Nettlecombe.

Sites close to Nettlecombe are covered too, including Southford (1 mile north-west), Bierley (1 mile west), Wroxall (2 miles north-east), Godshill (2 miles north) and Sandford (2 miles north).

Island and remote sites need extra planning, with travel, ferry crossings where needed and weather to allow for, so mention the location when you speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.

After the work

Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Share these points with them:

  • Keep sills, gutters and drainage paths clear
  • Never let anyone seal over old sealant
  • Share access with other external trades
  • Record the product and colour used on each elevation

Record the sealant type and date on the building file. Future work can then match the product and colour across the elevation.

Don’t wait for a full elevation to fail. A few metres resealed promptly can stop water damage spreading behind the facade.

What sets the cost

A fixed quote reflects the actual work. It allows for:

  • Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
  • How much existing material needs removing
  • How accessible the joints are
  • The total length or number of joints

Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well, along with the time of year for external work.

Sending details for a quote

We can often quote from photos and a few details. It helps to include:

  • Anything awkward about access or site hours
  • A wide shot and a close-up of the area
  • The product your specification calls for
  • Any dates the work must fit around

Every quote starts with the facts: the joints involved, quantities, access and the product called for. Share whatever details you have and we will fill any gaps with a visit.

For managing agents and facilities managers

We take on planned maintenance as well as one-off repairs: working through a building or an estate in stages that fit your budget. Sites in Nettlecombe can sit alongside others in a wider programme.

Whether you are a managing agent, a property factor or an owner’s representative: send the details, accept a fixed quote, and we carry out and guarantee the work. Keys, access and contacts can be agreed in advance.

FAQs: Nettlecombe

Can you work on a hospital site such as Arthur Webster Memorial Hospital for Children?

Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.

Will you take on work at estates like Wroxall Industrial Estate, close to Nettlecombe?

Yes. We cover Nettlecombe and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Wroxall Industrial Estate. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.

Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?

Yes. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.

How much does the work cost?

Each job is quoted on its own details. To get one, call 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.

What site paperwork can you supply?

Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote.

Do you seal on top of existing sealant?

No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.

Which sealant do you use on facades?

Most facade and window perimeter joints take a low-modulus neutral-cure silicone. Hybrid or MS polymer, polyurethane and polysulphide sealants suit others.

On site: what to expect

On arrival, we sign in, go through any site induction and check how permits are handled. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before any cutting starts, with the work itself typically taking a day or two for a few elevations, and longer where access has to be moved around the building. Jobs in and around smaller places like Nettlecombe are usually planned as a single visit, so we ask for photographs and rough sizes first. That way the right products come on the day.

  1. Access, site rules and timing are settled with the client up front.
  2. Weather and temperature are checked against the product’s limits.
  3. Each joint is cut out and the edges inspected.
  4. Faces are cleaned, primed where needed and backed.
  5. Sealant is gunned in and tooled hard onto both faces.
  6. Once signed off, the work carries our 12-month guarantee.

Preparing the site

  • Move anything stored against the joints
  • Point out parking and an unloading spot
  • Send your site hours and access windows
