How the job changes by surface
Cladding panel joints
Panel joints on cladding and rainscreen systems take movement every day. The sealant has to match the movement and the panel finish, often a low-modulus silicone or hybrid.
Window and door perimeters
Frame-to-wall joints at windows and doors are the facade joints we reseal most. A low-modulus neutral-cure product, chosen for the frame and wall, goes in finished to throw water off the joint.
How we handle facade sealing in Shanklin
Access is part of every facade job, and we plan it with you before quoting. Tell us about access: whether scaffold is already up, what the client is arranging, and any restrictions on the site, and we’ll fit the work around it. We work on coping and flashing joints, stone and brick facade joints and perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are failed sealant on precast panel joints and perimeter sealant that has split or peeled away. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: in Shanklin, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Around places like Shanklin, a lot of construction is the conversion of older buildings, and the sealant at those junctions has to cope with two materials that move differently.
We stand by our work: 12 months, guaranteed. That covers our preparation and application.

Common questions from Shanklin clients
Will you plan work around the academic year at somewhere like St Catherine's College?
Yes, holiday working periods are the norm on campus jobs. Tell us which site documents you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate or CSCS details, and they’re confirmed with the quote.
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. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
What will the job cost?
That depends on the job: the volume of work, the access, the specified product and how it’s phased. Call for a quote.
Can you fit around our working hours?
Give us your site hours and any access windows in your enquiry, and we’ll schedule the work to suit. You can reach the office between 8am and 5pm, Monday to Friday.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
How long does a job like this take?
It depends on the scope, though a typical visit normally takes anything from a single day to several weeks, depending on joint lengths, access and the weather. For bigger or phased jobs, we’ll set out a timescale with the quote.
Can you handle several sites?
Yes. Multi-site work and planned programmes are a core part of the service, planned site by site to suit how each building is used.
Facade sealing around Shanklin: how the place shapes the job
With the shore within about 1 mile, Shanklin counts as a coastal location. Facades and window perimeters on coastal schemes take more wind-driven rain, and salt air nearer the shore, which puts weight on correct joint sizing, priming and a sealant suited to the exposure. Shanklin sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. That doesn’t stop wet spells, or frosty starts that leave panels too damp to seal, so the external programme keeps a little slack.
When units on a site such as Whitecross Business Centre (0.7 miles north of Shanklin) are refurbished or reclad, the panel joints and window perimeters are part of the mastic package. Projects at schools like St Blasius Shanklin CofE Primary Academy work to term dates, so mastic is programmed tightly.
Shanklin is about 6 miles south of Ryde, in the Isle of Wight. We cover Shanklin, with the same fixed quotes and 12-month guarantee as everywhere else. Across the Isle of Wight, 125 places are covered, including Shanklin. Portsmouth is covered too, some 13 miles away.
Business premises anywhere in PO37 and PO36 are within our area. For a building on High Street, Church Road and Regent Street or nearby, send details and we will quote for facade joints. Shanklin sits on or close to the A3020 and A3055. Nearby places we also cover include Luccombe Village (1 mile south), Lake (1 mile north), Sandown (2 miles north-east), Queen's Bower (2 miles north) and Alverstone (2 miles north). Bigger towns within reach include Newport (7 miles north-west), Ryde (6 miles north), Cowes (10 miles north-west), Ventnor (3 miles south-west), East Cowes (10 miles north-west) and Oakfield (6 miles north). Shanklin is one of the busier places in the Isle of Wight, and its commercial and public buildings are all within our area. Where a site is remote or on an island, travel and materials need planning ahead, so the full address helps from the start.

For managing agents and facilities managers
If you look after buildings for someone else, clear figures and clear communication matter. We quote a fixed sum, confirm the scope and walk the finished work with you or your representative, plus a 12-month guarantee.
We work for building owners and managing agents on sealant work across single buildings or whole portfolios. One quote can cover more than one site, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.
Why act early in Shanklin
Failed joints let in more than water: occupants notice draughts and cold spots around windows. Resealing deals with the draught as well as the leak. A failed joint lets water into a building whatever its size. Early resealing avoids the damage that follows a leak.
The price depends on the quantity of joints, what has to come out first and the access. Call for a quote when you are ready.

Honest limits
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Damaged frames that need replacing
- Work on the window or framing system itself
- Water getting in through cracked render or porous masonry

On site: what to expect
Working in a building that stays open takes some planning. The work area is signed and kept contained, with routes through the building left open and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use. Work in places the size of Shanklin is planned as a single visit where we can. Clear photos and measurements help us bring the right products.
- Access, site rules and timing are settled with the client up front.
- Weather and temperature are checked against the product’s limits.
- We remove the old bead and check the edges are sound.
- Joints are cleaned, primed if required and fitted with backing rod.
- Facade-grade sealant goes in and is tooled to a tidy concave profile.
- We hand over with our 12-month workmanship guarantee.
What we need from you
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Confirm the product named in the specification

Common problems we fix in Shanklin
Sometimes the substrate is the problem: if the edge of the render, concrete or coating breaks away, the bead goes with it. We tell you when the edges need repairing before resealing.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- Staining on stone next to old sealant
- Patch repairs that keep failing
- Perimeter sealant that has split or peeled away
- Leaks at window and door perimeters
On a healthcare site such as Arthur Webster Memorial Hospital for Children (under half a mile north of Shanklin), new blocks and refurbishments go on while the hospital keeps running, so mastic work is sequenced carefully.
