Shanklin Village: questions and answers
Do you take on jobs in Shanklin Village where loading and access are tightly controlled?
Yes. Booked loading bays, goods lifts and permit-to-work systems are normal for London jobs. Send the building rules and access times with your enquiry. We allow for the ULEZ, which covers every borough
Can work at a site such as University for the Creative Arts - Epsom fit around teaching?
Yes. We plan campus work around teaching, exams and residence turnarounds. Tell us which site documents you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate or CSCS details, and they’re confirmed with the quote.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No, never. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so it all comes out first.
Which sealant do you use on facades?
The product follows the joint’s movement, the surfaces and the specification. BS EN 15651 Parts 1 and 2 cover facade and glazing sealants, and specifications often name them.
Is colour matching possible?
It depends on the product. Some ranges are wide, others limited, so we’ll confirm the colours available for the specified product with the quote.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, which helps with supplier vetting.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. We use CSCS-carded applicators, as many construction sites ask for.
Facade sealing for commercial buildings in Shanklin Village
We don’t install glazing systems or replace glass. What we seal are the joints around them: perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, panel joints and window perimeters with products suited to facade or glazing perimeter joints. If you’re dealing with failed seals around shopfront and entrance frames and air leaks through failed facade joints, we can help. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: in Shanklin Village, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Construction in a London area such as Shanklin Village means working on constrained sites: small compounds, delivery slots and shared hoists and scaffold. We fit around the programme, sealing each elevation or floor as other trades hand over.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work. Should something we installed fail, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll come back to it.

Quoting for work in Shanklin Village
What shapes the price:
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- How much existing material needs removing
- The size and state of each joint
The product called for affects the cost, as does the preparation each joint needs, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
What to include in your enquiry
We can often quote from photographs and a few details. Please tell us:
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- Clear photographs of the problem areas
- Any specification or named product
- Access details, including height
Need a figure for a tender or a budget? We will quote against your scope and drawings that you can work with. If you have questions first, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.
Different surfaces, different methods
Cladding panel joints
Panel joints on cladding and rainscreen systems take movement every day. We use a product rated for the movement and suited to the panel surface, as the specification sets out.
Precast concrete panels
Precast panel joints have to absorb thermal and structural movement. We use a sealant with the right movement capability, set over backing rod.
Aftercare for building managers
For the best life from the joints:
- Share access with other external trades
- Investigate damp beside windows promptly
- Keep the sealant details on the building file
- Ask about asbestos in pre-2000 mastic
Include facade joints in your planned maintenance inspections. Signs to look for are cracking, edges lifting, chalking and stiffness.
Use each reseal to correct the joint: correct depth, proper backing and a sealant that can take the movement. Repeating a faulty detail just repeats the failure.
Why act early in Shanklin Village
Every shower drives water through a split perimeter bead. The damage builds out of sight: wet linings, rusting fixings, staining and spoiled finishes. Resealing early costs far less than repairing what the water reaches. In Shanklin Village, each extra visit means more notices, permits and disruption, so cutting the old sealant out fully and doing it right once is the better route.
There’s no price list, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. Call for a quote and we will price your job on its own details.

- A range of standard colours, depending on the product

From enquiry to sign-off
The first thing on site is a walk round with your contact, to confirm the scope, the order of work and any areas we must keep clear. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in. In Shanklin Village, most buildings stay in use during the work, so zones and timings are agreed with whoever manages the building. Areas are handed back as each section is finished.
- We plan access and the order of elevations with the client.
- 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.
Getting the site ready
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000

Advice
Facade sealing in Shanklin Village: the local picture
Site traffic in Shanklin Village falls within London’s ULEZ, like everywhere else in Greater London. Delivery slots and scarce storage shape how and when the mastic goes in. There are a number of hotels within about 2 miles of Shanklin Village. Hotel extensions and refits normally have to fit around bookings, so mastic dates are tight.
Extensions at sites like Royal Marsden Hospital, less than half a mile to the south-east of Shanklin Village, typically sit beside working departments, and the mastic follows strict access rules. Projects at colleges like Sutton College of Learning for Adults, 1 mile north of Shanklin Village, tend to run to term dates, so the mastic is planned tightly.

Signs you need facade sealing in Shanklin Village
Adhesive failure, where the sealant peels away from one face, normally comes from poor preparation. Dust, old sealant residue, damp or a missing primer stop it bonding properly, and movement soon pulls it away.
Most enquiries start with something like this:
- Failed seals around shopfront and entrance frames
- Draughts around frames and panels
- Damp patches beside frames after rain
- Gaps between rainscreen or cladding panels
Projects at schools like Harris Academy Sutton work to term dates, so mastic is programmed tightly.
What your quote should include
