How mastic sealing works in the Isle of Wight

We work for building owners, landlords with commercial or block portfolios, managing agents and housing associations. Many prefer a planned programme to one-off visits and we quote and schedule each building in turn. We work on window and door perimeters on blocks, communal entrances and stairwells and balcony and threshold joints, and what we are called in for most is mastic failing across several blocks on an estate and movement joints with sealant missing.

At the end of each section, the masking comes off, the area is cleaned and every joint is checked with your site contact. If an area should be left alone while the sealant cures, we say how long and put signs out.

  1. We inspect each building and record the joints that have failed.
  2. You get a fixed quote, per block or for the whole programme.
  3. Dates and areas are agreed so occupiers can be told.
  4. Failed sealant is removed and the faces prepared.
  5. New sealant goes in with backing rod and primer where needed.
  6. We check the finished work and confirm the guarantee.

Near you in Newport

Locally, jobs take us to sites close to Seaclose Park, Castle Inn and Island Innovation VI Form Campus and the streets around them. Other local landmarks include Christ The King College (0.6 miles south-west) and Nine Acres Primary School (less than half a mile south). Nearby you’ll also find Carisbrooke Castle (1 mile south-west) and St Mary's Hospital (0.8 miles north). Green spaces nearby include Briddlesford Nature Reserve and Mill Hill.

For owners and agents in the Isle of Wight

For owners with several buildings in the Isle of Wight, grouping mastic work into one programme saves time. Residents are given notice through you, and work moves building to building.

All of Greater London is inside the ULEZ, and much of the South East is within easy reach of the capital, so jobs in the Isle of Wight are planned with access, loading and parking in mind. In the parts of the Isle of Wight near the sea, the elevations facing the weather are where sealant gives up first.

Newport: Older buildings near Newport, from historic houses such as Carisbrooke Castle (to the south-west of Newport) to more modest stock, need compatible products when frames are resealed. Schools and community buildings such as Nine Acres Primary School need frame and external mastic kept sound like any building.

General trades versus a specialist

A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. Where it goes wrong is preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.

Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.

Aftercare for building managers

After handover, these steps help:

  • Share your contractor requirements early
  • Make it easy for occupiers to report draughts
  • Keep a record of when each building was resealed
  • Protect low-level joints in entrances

Encourage occupiers to report water or draughts at frames. Early reports catch failures before damage spreads.

Water getting in round frames can damage plaster, decoration and the frames themselves. Resealing early keeps the job small.

Why deal with it now?

Leaving failed external joints lets water reach the structure behind. Damp patches, stained plaster and decorating claims can follow, which is harder to deal with than resealing.

Questions to ask before you book

  • Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
  • Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
  • Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
  • Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint

Why it fails

Many failed joints were sealed without backing rod, so the mastic is glued to the joint bottom too. That three-sided adhesion stops it stretching and splits as the building moves.

Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:

  • Worn sealant at communal door frames
  • The same joint failures repeated across a portfolio
  • A mix of products and colours from past repairs
  • Damp patches beside frames

What affects the price in the Isle of Wight

Quotes vary with the job. It mainly depends on:

  • Location, for remote and island sites
  • Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
  • How much there is to seal
  • Joint width, depth and condition

We don’t publish prices, since every building and every scope is different. Call for a quote.

What we need to price the job

For an accurate fixed quote, we need a clear picture of the site. Send us:

  • Where the site is, with the postcode
  • Whether the building will be occupied during the work
  • When you need the work done
  • Asbestos survey details if the building is older

A good quote starts with a clear picture: what’s there, how much of it, how we reach it and what’s specified. Share whatever details you have and we’ll fill any gaps with a visit.

Your questions answered

Can you send RAMS and CSCS details before starting?

Our credentials include CHAS, Constructionline and public liability insurance. For specific documents, tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote.

What’s the quickest route to a quote?

The quote form is the simplest route, though you can also call 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings. Photos, drawings or a joint schedule help us quote quickly.

Can people stay in the building while you reseal?

We plan around people living or working in the building. We agree the programme so you can notify occupiers and communal access is kept open.

Do you do block-wide mastic programmes?

Yes. Each building is inspected, quoted and scheduled in turn starting wherever is most urgent.

What will the job cost?

Each job is quoted on its own details. For yours, call the office on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form.

Can you work to our specification?

Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance.

Is asbestos a concern with old mastic?

We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials. Anything suspect is tested before we carry on, and the duty to manage asbestos sits with the dutyholder.
