Keeping the joints sound
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Inspect facade joints on a regular cycle
- Keep pressure washers away from fresh sealant
- Ask about asbestos in pre-2000 mastic
- Never let anyone seal over old sealant
Look at perimeter and panel joints as part of routine building checks. Watch for splits, gaps at the edges, hardening and discolouration.
In pre-2000 buildings, check the asbestos register before old sealant is cut out. Some older mastics contain it, and if it’s suspected, we stop until it has been tested.
Facade sealing in Whiteley Bank, done properly
Water ingress at window frames is a frequent reason facilities managers contact us. Failed perimeter sealant is a frequent cause. If the evidence points away from the sealant, we say so before quoting. Most enquiries involve weathered facade joints that have lost their grip and perimeter sealant that has split or peeled away, on window and door perimeters, coping and flashing joints and stone and brick facade joints.

Questions about Whiteley Bank
Can you work around term dates at a campus such as St Catherine's College?
Yes. We plan campus work around teaching, exams and residence turnarounds. Any paperwork you need, from RAMS to our insurance certificate and CSCS details, is confirmed with the quote.
Can you take on a job at a hospital 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.
Is it okay to overlay old mastic?
No. A bead run over old sealant soon lifts. Our method is a full cut-out, cleaning, backing and a new bead.
Do we need an asbestos check before resealing?
Some older mastics, especially in pre-2000 buildings, can contain asbestos. Check the asbestos register or survey before it is disturbed, and if anything is suspected, we stop until it’s tested. Removal of asbestos isn’t something we do.
Are you CHAS accredited?
Yes. CHAS accredited, Constructionline member, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
What’s the quickest route to a quote?
The quote form is the simplest route, though you can also call the office on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email. Include photographs or drawings if you have them.
Do you use silicone for external joints?
It depends on the joint, the substrate and any specification. BS EN 15651 Parts 1 and 2 cover facade and glazing sealants, and specifications often name them, and we work to what is specified.
When something else is needed
Part of a good diagnosis is knowing where sealant stops. You’ll hear from us if the cause turns out to be one of these:
- Specialist high-level access methods
- Render or concrete edges that have broken away
- Installing or repairing glazing systems
If in doubt, call 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we seal
- Window and door perimeters
- Coping and flashing joints
- Shopfront frames
- Cladding panel joints
- Stone and brick facade joints
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure

What else we do in Whiteley Bank
How the job changes by surface
Brick and stone facades
Stone can absorb plasticisers from the wrong sealant. The specified stone-compatible sealant is what we use.
Precast concrete panels
Precast arrises sometimes crumble or carry old residue. We clean back to sound material and flag edges that need repair before sealing.
Building and refurbishing in Whiteley Bank
Whiteley Bank sits close to the coast, within about 3 miles. Facades and window perimeters on coastal schemes take more wind-driven rain, and salt air nearer the shore, so we check the specified product suits the exposure before the first bead. A 2-mile radius around Whiteley Bank takes in plenty of hotels. Hotel extensions and refits typically have to fit around bookings, so mastic dates are tight.
Further education sites such as St Catherine's College (to the south-east of Whiteley Bank) are extended and refurbished from time to time, with mastic often programmed into the summer break. School extensions, at buildings such as Wroxall Primary School, usually run to the summer holidays, mastic included.

Our process
Site rules come first: sign-in, induction and whatever permit system the building uses. With the paperwork done, we take the joints in the sequence agreed with you. Jobs in and around smaller places like Whiteley Bank are normally planned as a single visit, so photos and measurements up front really help. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- 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.
- 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.
Preparing the site
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
Getting a fixed quote
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it. For smaller jobs, photos and a description will do.
Advice
When to bring in a specialist
There’s also the paperwork. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
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.
Signs you need facade sealing in Whiteley Bank
New sealant run over old sealant rarely holds. Cured silicone won’t accept a new silicone bead, and the patch soon lifts.
Look out for the following:
- Hard, chalky sealant that no longer flexes
- Gaps between rainscreen or cladding panels
- Failed seals around shopfront and entrance frames
- Water coming in around window frames
For contractors refurbishing units at places like Wroxall Industrial Estate (1.1 miles south of Whiteley Bank), the mastic covers cladding panels, roller-door and window perimeters.
