When something else is needed
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Cracked or crumbling render, brick or stone at the joint edges (we will tell you if so)
- Leaks through the frame itself rather than the perimeter
- Leaks from above rather than through a joint
If in doubt, ring 01277 525 020 or email us and we will say what we think.

Mastic sealing around Godshill: what changes locally
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Outside work still depends on dry joints, and elevations facing the sun and the prevailing weather are usually where frame mastic ages first.
Historic properties like Sheat Manor (to the north-west of Godshill) show the age of some local stock, where frame mastic must suit soft brick or stone. If your remit includes a building such as Godshill Primary School, frame and door mastic can be programmed for the holidays.

Typical triggers for a call:

- Patchy repairs in mismatched sealant
- Draughts at frames across a block
- Open joints in brickwork or panels
Trustees of buildings like All Saints' Church can bring frame and external mastic into a planned maintenance list.

FAQs: Godshill
Does your area include sites such as Wroxall Industrial Estate, near Godshill?
Yes. We cover Godshill and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Wroxall Industrial Estate. To start, just phone 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Is a smaller place like Godshill outside your area?
No. Places such as Godshill are covered as much as the big towns. London and every South East county are within our area. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Will you quote for a small job?
We quote for single jobs as well as large packages and programmes. Send details for a fixed quote.
What if the old mastic contains asbestos?
In older buildings, old mastic can contain asbestos. We check the asbestos register or survey before disturbing it and suspect material is tested first.
Can weather delay the job?
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.
Will you come and look before quoting?
Many jobs can be quoted from photographs, drawings or a joint schedule. Where they aren’t, we arrange a site visit.
How many days will you need on site?
It depends on the scope, though a typical visit usually takes one or more days per building, depending on the joint lengths and the access. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we’ll give you a timescale with the quote.

- When you need the work done
- The site address and postcode

Different surfaces, different methods
External movement joints
External movement joints take up expansion and contraction. Once that sealant goes, rain can reach the wall.
Tenement and older buildings
Older mastic can contain asbestos and the register is checked before anything is disturbed. If it’s suspected, work stops until it’s tested.
