Mastic sealing for Brading sites
Send drawings, photos or a joint schedule, or tell us about the site, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
How the quote is worked out
Your fixed quote is built from the real scope. It takes account of:
- How much there is to seal
- Any access equipment needed
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Working within restricted access windows
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
To price the job accurately, we need a clear picture of the site. Send us:
- What the building is and how it’s used
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- The product your specification calls for
We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so you know the figure before anyone is on site. To ask for one, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.
Mastic sealing in Brading
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. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials. The enquiries we see most involve draught complaints from residents or tenants and leaks at window and door perimeters, on communal kitchens and washrooms, communal entrances and stairwells and external wall and movement joints. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Brading tend to want the same three things: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
Rural conversions near places like Brading often set modern frames into older stone, flint or brick. The mastic needs to suit an irregular masonry face and the look of the building.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee, wherever the site is. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

For managing agents and facilities managers
For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor on new-build and refurbishment projects. We work to your programme, your specification and your site rules, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
As a CHAS accredited contractor and Constructionline member, we make supplier vetting simple. Our insurance certificate can be sent along with the quote.
Honest limits
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. It won’t fix:
- Water coming in from the roof or rainwater goods
- Frames that are rotten, warped or broken
- Masonry that has broken away beside the joint
If in doubt, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will say what we think.
Where we work in Brading

When to call us in Brading
Occasionally the substrate fails, not the sealant, such as crumbling render, brick arrises or frame edges. We’ll tell you if the joint edges need repairing before resealing.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Draughts at frames across a block
- Repeated reactive repairs to the same buildings
- Failed external movement joints
- Damp patches beside frames
If you look after a block within reach of Brading station, which lies east of Brading, frame and balcony mastic can be renewed on one programme.

Planned mastic for Brading portfolios
Brading lies within about 2 miles of the sea. On buildings near the shore, the side facing the weather usually needs its mastic renewed first, so it’s worth inspecting those sides more often. Rainfall across the South East, Brading included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Outside mastic still needs a dry joint and the right temperature, and the sunniest, most exposed sides of a building usually need attention first.
Property owners at sites such as Ryde Business Park, 2.8 miles north of Brading, can have mastic renewed between lettings. If you are responsible for a building such as St. Mary's Church, frame and door mastic needs the same attention as any other property.
Brading is about 3 miles south of Ryde, in the Isle of Wight. If you are looking for mastic sealing in Brading, we can help, as we do across the Isle of Wight. 125 places across the Isle of Wight fall within our area, Brading among them. Sites around Portsmouth have their own page, about 9 miles away.
Commercial sites across PO36 are covered for mastic joints. If your site is on Station Road, High Street and Wrax Road or close by, we can quote for mastic joints. With the A3055 nearby, Brading is straightforward for us to reach. If your building is just outside Brading, we cover Yarbridge (1 mile south), Morton (1 mile south-west), Adgestone (1 mile south-west), Yaverland (1 mile south) and Gaskins (1 mile north-east). Nearby towns on our patch include Newport (7 miles west), Ryde (3 miles north), Cowes (9 miles north-west), Shanklin (4 miles south-west), Ventnor (6 miles south-west) and East Cowes (8 miles north-west). Island and remote sites need extra planning, with travel, ferry crossings where needed and weather to allow for, so mention the location when you give us a call on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form.

Our process
At the end of each section, the masking comes off, the area is cleaned and every joint is checked, ready for your sign-off. If an area should be left alone while the sealant cures, we say how long and put signs out. If others near Brading need work, visits can be combined. You will have a fixed quote before work starts.
- First we look at the mastic on each building and note what needs replacing.
- A fixed quote follows, split by block or building if that suits you.
- The sequence and the dates are fixed with you, giving you what you need to notify occupiers.
- Old sealant is stripped and each face prepared back to firm material.
- Deep joints get backing rod, faces are primed if the manufacturer specifies it, then the joint is sealed and tooled.
- Completed joints are inspected and carry a 12-month workmanship guarantee.
Getting the site ready
- Send your site hours and access windows
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Have the specification and drawings to hand

Looking after the joints
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Share these points with them:
- Mention RAMS, insurance or CSCS requirements up front
- Have the asbestos survey to hand for older buildings
- Keep a record of when each building was resealed
- Encourage occupiers to report problems at frames
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. Early resealing is far simpler than repairs inside.
FAQs: Brading
Will you take on a block within reach of Brading station?
Yes. Managing agents, landlords, property factors and housing associations are who this service is for. Give us the building’s details and say how residents are notified, and we will quote and plan to suit.
Does the sea air around Brading change the choice of sealant?
It can, yes: buildings near the sea take more wind-driven rain, and salt in the air nearer the shore. Product choice and preparation matter more, and sea-facing elevations are worth inspecting more often.
When can the area be used after sealing?
We’ll confirm how long the chosen product needs to cure, and flag anything to keep off until it has cured.
Is asbestos a concern with old mastic?
In older buildings, old mastic can contain asbestos. We ask for the asbestos register or survey before work starts, and if it’s suspected, work stops until it’s tested.
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’ll confirm with the quote.
Do you work in Brading?
Yes. Brading is in our area and the rest of the Isle of Wight, within our coverage of Greater London, South East England and Scotland. For a quote, ring 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.
How many days will you need on site?
That varies with the scale of the job, but the work usually takes a few days for most blocks, with larger programmes scheduled building by building. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we’ll give you a timescale with the quote.
