About our facade sealing in Shalcombe
Sealant around windows, doors and cladding panels stops rain reaching the wall behind. When a perimeter bead splits or peels, water finds its way behind frames and into the structure. We cut out failed facade joints and reseal them with a facade-grade sealant suited to the movement. Most enquiries involve weathered joints at frame-to-structure perimeters and staining on stone next to old sealant, on window and door perimeters, shopfront frames and cladding panel joints. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, in Shalcombe it comes down to the same thing: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Sites around smaller places like Shalcombe can be a fair drive from suppliers, so we come with everything the package needs, timed to the stage the job has reached. Drawings, photos and the programme let us give a fixed quote.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work in the Isle of Wight. Should something we installed fail, phone 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll come back to it.

What we are called out for in Shalcombe
A frequent fault is a bead stuck to the joint’s rear face as well as its sides. Without rod or bond-breaker tape, the bead is held back and rips when the facade moves.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- Staining on stone next to old sealant
- Failed seals around shopfront and entrance frames
- Patch repairs that keep failing
- Perimeter sealant that has split or peeled away
With historic properties like Mottistone Manor, 1.3 miles to the south-east of Shalcombe, in the area, refurbishment work often meets old masonry that needs compatible sealants.
What your quote should include

How the quote is worked out
The price varies from site to site. It mainly depends on:
- Any access equipment needed
- Distance, for remote addresses
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
The work involved drives the cost: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a fixed quote.
What to include in your enquiry
The more we know, the firmer the quote. Helpful details to send:
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- What the building is and how it’s used
- The site address and postcode
We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so the cost is agreed before work starts. To ask for one, phone 01277 525 020 or email the details over.
Your questions answered
Can the mastic package for our job in Shalcombe follow the site programme?
Yes. Send the programme and drawings, and we’ll plan the mastic to suit the stages. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and paperwork such as RAMS is confirmed with the quote.
Is Shalcombe too small for you to travel to?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. London and every South East county are within our area. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
When can you be on site?
The office is staffed Monday to Friday, from 8am until 5pm. Let us know your site hours and access windows, and the work will be planned around them.
Can the sealant be colour-matched?
It depends on the product. Some ranges offer many colours, others very few, so the available colours are confirmed with the quote.
When is resealing likely to be due?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
Does the weather affect the work?
Outside, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Inside work is seldom held up.
Can you work on upper floors?
That varies with the building and the access on offer. Share what access exists or is planned when you send details.
Mastic packages on Shalcombe sites
Shalcombe sits close to the coast, within about 2 miles. Schemes this close to the sea see their facade joints tested by wind and rain from the day they’re sealed, 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. That doesn’t stop wet spells, or frosty starts that leave panels too damp to seal, so we time external mastic for dry faces and agree it with the site team.
Sites around Shalcombe get mastic sealed to the drawings and the programme, nothing improvised.

Owners, agents and contractors
Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
As a CHAS accredited contractor and Constructionline member, we make supplier vetting simple. We’re fully insured, and our insurance certificate can go with the quote.
Maintenance after handover
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Share these points with them:
- Walk the elevations once or twice a year
- Share access with other external trades
- Check that rainwater leaves the facade the way it was designed to
- Avoid patch repairs on failed facade joints
Record the sealant type and date on the building file. Future work can then match the product and colour without guesswork.
Deal with sections that fail early as soon as they show. Small repairs stop small leaks becoming large ones behind the facade.

What else we do in Shalcombe
Why deal with it now?
Every shower drives water through a split perimeter bead. Behind the frame, that can mean damp plaster, stained ceilings, corroded fixings and damaged insulation. Resealing now costs less than repairing interiors later. Converted and older buildings near places like Shalcombe tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. A sealant with the right movement capability, correctly sized, lasts far better.
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.
