Mastic sealing in Great Thorness
For blocks and buildings in Great Thorness and across the Isle of Wight, the process is the same: you send details, we return a fixed quote, the joints are resealed and the 12-month guarantee follows. A list of buildings, a few photos and approximate joint numbers are enough for a quick quote or we can visit. We work on communal kitchens and washrooms, window and door perimeters on blocks and external wall and movement joints, and what we’re called in for most is damaged joints in communal entrances and corridors and window mastic that has split and shrunk. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, in Great Thorness 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 Great Thorness tend to manage small terraces of association properties, converted barns and commercial units. Frame and wall-joint mastic on all of them ages and hardens.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we’re clear about what is covered before work starts.

What the job involves on each surface
External movement joints
Failed sealant is removed, backing rod inserted to control depth and the joint resealed with a grade whose movement class fits.
Planned maintenance
How long mastic lasts depends on exposure, movement and the product used. Regular inspection is the best way to plan resealing.
When to bring in a specialist
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are where general trades tend to cut corners.
Paperwork matters too. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.

Looking after buildings in and around Great Thorness
Great Thorness lies within about 1 mile of the sea. On buildings near the shore, the side facing the weather typically needs its mastic renewed first; plan inspections around that. Great Thorness sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. External mastic still waits for dry faces and the right temperature, and south- and west-facing elevations, which take the most sun and rain, often age first.
For owners of several units at places like Porchfield Business Park, 1.7 miles south-west of Great Thorness, one programme can deal with frame and external mastic across the lot. With historic buildings such as Swainston Manor, 3 miles south of Great Thorness, in the wider area, owners of older properties around Great Thorness should expect mastic to need a product that suits old masonry.

How a job runs
We begin with a short walk round with whoever looks after the building, 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. For work around Great Thorness, we aim to finish in one visit, so we ask for photos and rough sizes first. That way the right products come on the day.
- First we look at the mastic on each building and note what needs replacing.
- We send a fixed quote that sets out the joints, the products and the programme.
- Dates, areas and access are agreed so residents or tenants can be told in advance.
- Failed mastic is removed and the faces taken back to sound, dry material.
- Deep joints get backing rod, faces are primed if the manufacturer specifies it, then the joint is sealed and tooled.
- Finished joints are looked over and the 12-month guarantee confirmed.

Why act early in Great Thorness
Adding sealant to cyclical maintenance is an easy win. Waiting until leaks appear means working under pressure and less choice about when. Converted and older buildings near places like Great Thorness tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. A sealant with the right movement capability, correctly sized, lasts far better.
Every site prices differently: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.

When it isn’t the sealant
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- Broken glass or failed sealed units
- Failed window or door frames, which need a window contractor
- Roof leaks, gutters or failed flashings that aren’t sealant joints
If in doubt, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will say what we think.

Questions we’re asked in Great Thorness
Will you take on work at estates like Porchfield Business Park, close to Great Thorness?
Yes. We cover Great Thorness and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Porchfield Business Park. To start, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email us with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Is Great Thorness off your patch?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Will you quote for a small job?
Single areas, one-off repairs and whole buildings are all quoted the same way: details, then a fixed price, then sealing, then a 12-month guarantee.
How soon can the area be used again?
We’ll confirm how long the chosen product needs to cure, and flag anything to keep off until it has cured.
How do you reach windows on upper floors?
Access is discussed and agreed before the quote is fixed. Tell us the number of storeys and whether scaffold or other access is planned and we will confirm the approach in the quote.
Does the weather affect the work?
It can, for external work. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
What’s the quickest route to a quote?
The quote form is the simplest route, though you can also give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email us. Include photographs or drawings if you have them.
