Mastic sealing in Bierley, done properly
Older blocks and commercial buildings can have mastic that contains asbestos. Before we disturb it, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey and if it’s suspected, work stops until it’s tested. Removing asbestos-containing material isn’t something we do. We work on external wall and movement joints, balcony and threshold joints and shopfronts below residential blocks, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are water getting in round frames after rain and old repairs sealed over failed mastic. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, in Bierley it comes down to the same thing: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Owners and agents with buildings around smaller places such as Bierley tend to manage small terraces of association properties, converted barns and commercial units. Mastic around frames and on external joints wears out in time, whatever the building.
Work we carry out in the Isle of Wight comes with a 12-month guarantee. Should something we installed fail, phone 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will come back to it.

How the quote is worked out
Before we quote, we look at:
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- The size and state of each joint
- Working within restricted access windows
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote, and you’ll have a fixed figure to work with.
What we need to price the job
Whether it’s one area or a whole building, the same details help:
- What the building is and how it’s used
- Your programme or deadline
- Any specification or named product
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
Quotes are fixed against the scope you send, so you know the figure before anyone is on site. To ask for one, phone 01277 525 020 or use the quote form.

Blocks and managed buildings in Bierley
Bierley sits close to the coast, within about 2 miles. Blocks and commercial buildings facing the sea take the most weather on their window perimeters and external joints; plan inspections around that. Bierley sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Outside mastic still needs a dry joint and the right temperature, while the elevations that take the most sun tend to show hardened mastic first.
If your remit includes a building such as Niton Primary School, frame and door mastic can be programmed for the holidays. Trustees of buildings like Church of St. Mary and St. Radegund can bring frame and external mastic into a planned maintenance list. Blocks of flats and mixed-use buildings often cluster around stations such as Shanklin station, 5 miles north-east of Bierley, and their window and balcony mastic tends to age at the same rate across a building.
Bierley is about 5 miles south-west of Shanklin, in the Isle of Wight. We cover Bierley and the rest of the Isle of Wight, with the same fixed quotes and 12-month guarantee as everywhere else.

Common questions from Bierley clients
Is Wroxall Industrial Estate, near Bierley, within your area?
Yes, sites like Wroxall Industrial Estate are within our area, along with the rest of Bierley. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Does a coastal location like Bierley affect which sealant is used?
It can. Coastal exposure works external joints harder than inland weather. We choose the product for the exposure, prime where the manufacturer requires it and size the joint for its movement.
How long does a typical visit take?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. We will give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
Do you check for asbestos in old sealant?
Asbestos removal isn’t part of our work. If old sealant is suspected, work stops until it’s tested in line with the dutyholder’s asbestos management.
How do you reach windows on upper floors?
It depends on the building. We agree access with you at quote stage so the fixed quote reflects it.
Do you cover Bierley?
Yes. Bierley falls within our area, and the simplest way to start is to call the office on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.
How do I request a quote?
It works in four steps: send details, receive a fixed quote, we carry out the work, and it’s guaranteed. Step one needs little more than photos and a postcode.
How a job runs
We schedule the visit to fit the site hours and access windows you give us. On the day, the work area is kept contained and tidy, and your contact hears from us before we move to the next area. Jobs in and around smaller places like Bierley are usually planned as a single visit, so we ask for photos and rough sizes first. That way the right products come on the day.
- First comes a look at the joints and, for older buildings, the asbestos records.
- A fixed quote covers the joints, products and order of work.
- Failed mastic is removed completely.
- The joints are prepared and resealed with the right product.
- Buildings are completed in turn.
Getting the site ready
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
Getting a fixed quote
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints are often enough for a fixed quote. If the job needs a look first, we will arrange a site visit.

Work for main contractors and building owners
Whether you are a managing agent, a property factor or an owner’s representative: send the details, accept a fixed quote, and we carry out and guarantee the work. Keys, access and contacts can be agreed in advance.
Planned maintenance programmes are welcome: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. Sites in Bierley can sit alongside others in a wider programme across the Isle of Wight.
Doing it in-house
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. The usual problems come from preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
When something else is needed
Being straight saves everyone time. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- Cracked or crumbling render, brick or stone at the joint edges (we will tell you if so)
- Broken glass or failed sealed units
- Roof leaks, gutters or failed flashings that aren’t sealant joints
If you are not sure, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
- Balcony and threshold joints
- External wall and movement joints
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
Aftercare for building managers
For the best life from the joints:
- Include mastic in your cyclical inspections
- Start inspections with the most exposed faces
- Keep bins and bikes away from communal door frames
- Have the asbestos survey to hand for older buildings
Keep records of when each building was resealed. It helps plan the next round and gives you a history.
Budgets are easier to plan when sealant is part of planned maintenance. A programme can start with the worst buildings and work down the list.
