Facade sealing for commercial buildings in Ventnor
Managing agents and owners in Ventnor ask us to, we reseal perimeters across whole elevations or a handful of problem windows. The approach doesn’t change with the size: old sealant out, faces cleaned, depth set and a new bead tooled in. Each job carries our 12-month guarantee. If you have damp patches beside frames after rain and gaps between rainscreen or cladding panels, we can help, whatever the surface. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Ventnor, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Around places like Ventnor, 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.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months, wherever the site is. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

Common problems we fix in Ventnor
The wrong product causes its share of trouble: an acetoxy cure can mark stone or corrode some metals, and interior products break down outdoors. Neutral-cure, facade-grade products are what most external joints need.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- Facade joints cracked through the middle
- Gaps between rainscreen or cladding panels
- Old perimeter mastic that has dried out
- Failed seals around shopfront and entrance frames
For a contractor working at a hospital such as Arthur Webster Memorial Hospital for Children, which lies north-east of Ventnor, perimeter and facade sealing is planned around patients and deliveries.
Questions to ask before you book
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Their plan for phasing and protecting the area
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
- Their approach to joint depth and backing
Questions about Ventnor
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Arthur Webster Memorial Hospital for Children?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
Is Ventnor off your patch?
Not at all. Ventnor is within our area. London and every South East county are within our area. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Is colour matching possible?
It depends on the product specified. Some ranges are wide, others limited, so the available colours are confirmed with the quote.
When can the area be used after sealing?
The product and site conditions decide that. Some products skin over quickly but need longer to cure fully, and we confirm it before leaving site.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. We use CSCS-carded applicators, as many construction sites ask for.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for 12 months. If a joint fails because of how we installed it, we come back and put it right.
What hours do you work?
We are in the office from 8am until 5pm, Monday to Friday. Tell us your site hours and access windows and the work will be fitted around them.
After the work
Regular inspection catches problems early. In particular:
- Combine resealing with other works that need access
- Report water ingress at frames as soon as it shows
- Avoid patch repairs on failed facade joints
- Check the asbestos register before old mastic is disturbed
Hold back any cleaning crew until the joints have had their stated cure time. Pressure washers and harsh cleaners can damage a fresh bead and tell your cleaning contractor.
Get the joint design right when resealing: correct depth, proper backing and a sealant that can take the movement. Repeating a faulty detail just repeats the failure.
What sets the cost
The price varies from site to site. Expect it to depend on:
- The product specified
- Travel to remote or island sites
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Joint width, depth and condition
The price depends on how many linear metres there are, what has to come out first and how the joints are reached. Call for a fixed quote when you’re ready.
Details that help us quote
Diagnosis starts before we arrive. Let us know:
- What the building is and how it’s used
- The site address and postcode
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- How the joints are reached, and at what height

Why it’s worth doing now in Ventnor
If access is already up for other work, resealing at the same time makes sense. Combine it with planned external works and you only arrange access once, which is often the biggest saving. Small buildings around Ventnor suffer from failed joints as much as large ones. Early resealing avoids the damage that follows a leak.
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.

Our process
Site rules come first: sign-in, induction and whatever permit system the building uses. With the paperwork done, the joints are worked through in the order agreed with your site contact, and each area is checked before we leave it. For a site in Ventnor, we plan so the whole job is done in one go where possible. Clear photos and measurements help us bring the right products.
- First we review photographs, drawings or what we saw on a visit, and agree how each joint will be reached.
- Failed sealant is cut out along its full length.
- Both faces are cleaned and, where the product needs it, primed.
- Closed-cell rod fixes the depth, and the sealant grips two sides only.
- The new sealant goes in and is tooled firmly onto both faces.
- The completed runs are checked with you, then the 12-month guarantee applies.
What we need from you
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings

Advice
Mastic packages on Ventnor sites
The sea is no more than about 1 mile from Ventnor. 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. Ventnor has a good number of hotels close by, all within 2 miles. When hotels extend or refit, the work is normally squeezed between peak periods, mastic included.
Hotels like Belgrave Hotel (under half a mile south-west of Ventnor) rarely close for long, so refurbishment mastic is phased floor by floor. For contractors at a college like St Catherine's College, 0.6 miles east of Ventnor, perimeters and internal sealant are timed for the holidays.
