About our facade sealing in Puckaster
A good facade joint depends on design as much as product. Joint width needs to match how far the joint moves and how far the sealant can stretch, while rod fixes the depth and stops the bead sticking to the rear. We work on stone and brick facade joints, perimeter joints where frames meet the structure and cladding panel joints, and the failures we are asked to look at most are unsightly perimeter sealant on a visible elevation and perimeter joints where frames meet the structure. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, the work in Puckaster is the same: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Construction in and around smaller places such as Puckaster is often barn conversions, small groups of houses or extensions to halls and schools. Perimeters, facade joints and internal sealant all need doing properly, however small the scheme.
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.

Questions we are asked in Puckaster
Can being near the sea in Puckaster affect the sealant we need?
It can. Driven rain and salt are tougher on outside sealant than sheltered inland conditions. We check the specified product suits the exposure and pay close attention to preparation.
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Arthur Webster Memorial Hospital for Children, something you do?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Do you use silicone for external joints?
Most facade and window perimeter joints take a low-modulus neutral-cure silicone. Hybrid or MS polymer, polyurethane and polysulphide sealants suit others.
What’s the quickest route to a quote?
It works in four steps: send details, receive a fixed quote, we carry out the work, and it’s guaranteed. The first step only needs photographs and a postcode.
Do you provide access for facade work?
We agree access with the client at the start. Tell us about access: existing scaffold, what you’re arranging and any site restrictions.
Can you quote from photos?
Photos, drawings or a schedule are often enough to quote. Where they aren’t, we arrange a site visit before quoting.
Can the sealant be colour-matched?
Often, yes. Sealants are made in a wide range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or nearby finishes is commonly requested. We will confirm the colours available for the specified product.

What sealant work can’t fix
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It won’t put right:
- Work on the window or framing system itself
- Damp caused by condensation inside the building
- Cracked or spalling substrates that need repair before sealing
Not sure which it is? You can call 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will tell you honestly.
What we seal

Quoting for work in Puckaster
Each job is priced on its own details. The main factors are:
- Phasing around occupants
- The product specified
- How accessible the joints are
- The total length or number of joints
The specified product makes a difference, as does the preparation each joint needs, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
Details that help us quote
For an accurate fixed quote, we need a clear picture of the site. Useful things to include:
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- The site address and postcode
- Your programme or deadline
Every quote starts with the facts: the joints involved, quantities, access and the product called for. Share whatever details you have and we’ll fill any gaps with a visit.
Our process
We follow your site rules from the start: signing in, inductions and any permit to work. Once we’re cleared to begin, we take the joints in the sequence agreed with you, and each area is checked before we leave it. Smaller jobs around Puckaster can be grouped with others nearby, which keeps travel down. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.
- 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
- Tell staff and tenants when we will be in
- Send your site hours and access windows
- Point out any areas we must not close
Ask for a quote
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints and a fixed quote comes back to you. Where a site visit makes more sense, we’ll arrange one.
Related advice
Facade sealing around Puckaster: how the place shapes the job
Puckaster lies within about 1 mile of the sea. 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. Rainfall across the South East, Puckaster included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Even so, frost and condensation on steel and glass are common on winter mornings, which is why external dates are agreed with the site manager.
On a healthcare site such as Arthur Webster Memorial Hospital for Children (5.9 miles north-east of Puckaster), new blocks and refurbishments go on while the hospital keeps running, so mastic work is sequenced carefully. Projects at schools like Niton Primary School work to term dates, so mastic is programmed tightly.
Puckaster is about 6 miles south-west of Shanklin, in the Isle of Wight. If you are looking for facade sealing in Puckaster, we can help, as we do across the Isle of Wight. Across the Isle of Wight, 125 places are covered, Puckaster among them. We also cover Portsmouth, around 18 miles from Puckaster.
Commercial sites across PO38 are covered for facade joints. We cover commercial and managed buildings on Puckaster Lane and Undercliff Drive. If your building is just outside Puckaster, we cover Niton (1 mile north), Blackgang (1 mile north-west), Bierley (1 mile north), Whitwell (2 miles north-east) and Nettlecombe (2 miles north-east).

Near you in Puckaster
We work on buildings around The Buddle Inn and the streets around them. Other landmarks nearby include Arthur Webster Memorial Hospital for Children (5.9 miles north-east) and Blackgang Sawmill Museum (1.5 miles north-west). Not far away are Stenbury Down.
General trades versus a specialist
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but larger jobs are different: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and 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.
How the job changes by surface
Perimeter joints at frames and structure
These frame-to-structure joints take a lot of movement and weather. We cut them out, prepare both faces and reseal to the specification with a product suited to glazing perimeters.
Precast concrete panels
Precast arrises sometimes crumble or carry old residue. We clean back to sound material and flag edges that need repair.
