Looking after buildings in and around Chillerton
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Even so, frame mastic only goes on in dry, workable conditions, and south- and west-facing elevations, which take the most sun and rain, often age first.
Schools and community buildings such as Chillerton and Rookley Primary School need frame and external mastic kept sound like any building. If you own or manage units on a site such as Mountjoy Industrial Estate, 2.5 miles to the north of Chillerton, failed mastic on frames, door surrounds and external joints can be dealt with unit by unit.
Chillerton is about 3 miles south of Newport, in the Isle of Wight. Any commercial site in Chillerton is covered. Across the Isle of Wight, 125 places are covered, Chillerton among them. There’s a separate page for Portsmouth, about 15 miles away.
We take on mastic joints across the PO30 postcode area. Buildings on Hollow Lane, Greenland Close and Brook Lane are within our area for mastic joints. Sites close to Chillerton are covered too, including Gatcombe (1 mile north), Shorwell (2 miles west), Bowcombe (2 miles north-west), Plaish (2 miles north) and Chale Green (2 miles south). Bigger towns within reach include Newport (3 miles north), Ryde (8 miles north-east), Cowes (7 miles north), Sandown (7 miles east), Shanklin (6 miles east) and Ventnor (6 miles south-east). Island and remote sites need extra planning, with travel, ferry crossings where needed and weather to allow for, so give the site location in your enquiry.

When it isn’t the sealant
A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. We will tell you if the real problem is one of these:
- Leaks from above rather than through a joint
- Failed window or door frames, which need a window contractor
- Masonry that has broken away beside the joint
If in doubt, phone 01277 525 020 or email us and we will say what we think before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Balcony and threshold joints
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
- External wall and movement joints
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
Building owners, agents and FMs in Chillerton
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, we make supplier vetting simple. Our insurance certificate can be sent along with the quote.
Signs you need mastic sealing in Chillerton
Frames, panels and masonry expand and contract through the year, and the sealant takes up that movement. A joint that was too narrow, too thin or the wrong product can’t cope and fails early.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- No planned programme for sealant
- A mix of products and colours from past repairs
- Occupiers reporting cold air round windows
- Failed external movement joints
Older community buildings, St. Olave's Church among them, often have frames of mixed ages whose mastic varies.

FAQs: Chillerton
Can you work at a site such as Mountjoy Industrial Estate, by Chillerton?
Yes. We cover Chillerton and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Mountjoy Industrial Estate. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Can one quote cover a number of our buildings near Chillerton?
Yes. Planned programmes across a building, block or estate are a core part of this service. We can phase the programme to suit your budgets and notice periods.
How long before the joints can be used?
Curing time varies by product, and we confirm it on the day, and sign any area that should be left alone.
Do you work with property factors and landlords?
Yes, block and estate work is a core part of what we do. Buildings are scheduled in turn so you can plan around it.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and we will price the work to it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
Does the weather affect the work?
It can, when the joints are outside. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
What the job involves on each surface
Planned maintenance
Resealing can be scheduled alongside other planned works on a timetable you set.
External movement joints
Movement joints are cleaned out, backed with rod and resealed with a sealant of the right movement class.
How a job runs
The first thing on site is a walk round with your contact, to confirm the scope, the order of work and any areas we must keep clear. Then we strip out anything that has failed, prepare every joint and seal it. Jobs in and around smaller places like Chillerton are typically planned as a single visit, so we ask for photographs and rough sizes first. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- We inspect each building and record the joints that have failed.
- The quote is fixed and split as suits you.
- We agree the programme and dates with you.
- Failed sealant is removed and the faces prepared.
- Joints are resealed and tooled.
- We check the finished work and confirm the guarantee.
What we need from you
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Point out any areas we must not close
Quotes
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints and a fixed quote comes back to you. Where a site visit makes more sense, we will arrange one.
