Mastic sealing in Nettlecombe, done properly
Blocks are lived in, so access and disruption have to be thought through. The sequence, the areas and the dates are settled with you, giving you what you need to notify residents. Communal entrances and stairs stay usable while we work. Most enquiries involve leaks at window and door perimeters and old repairs sealed over failed mastic, on external wall and movement joints, balcony and threshold joints and communal entrances and stairwells. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Nettlecombe first comes to us: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
In and around smaller places like Nettlecombe, landlords and agents often look after small groups of housing association properties, converted farm buildings and community buildings. Frame and wall-joint mastic on all of them ages and hardens.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. The promise is simple: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

Mastic sealing around Nettlecombe: how the place shapes the job
Nettlecombe sits close to the coast, within about 2 miles. For owners and agents with buildings near the sea, exposed elevations are where frame mastic fails first. Rainfall across the South East, Nettlecombe included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. External mastic still waits for dry faces and the right temperature, and elevations facing the sun and the prevailing weather are usually where frame mastic ages first.
Historic properties like Rylstone Manor (to the north-east of Nettlecombe) show the age of some local stock, where frame mastic must suit soft brick or stone. Landlords with units on estates such as Wroxall Industrial Estate (to the north-east of Nettlecombe) can bring frame, door and external mastic across several units into one programme. Trustees of buildings like Water Hydrant Opposite Parish Church can bring frame and external mastic into a planned maintenance list.
Nettlecombe is about 7 miles south of Newport, in the Isle of Wight. Businesses, contractors and managing agents in Nettlecombe use us for work on mastic joints, as part of our coverage of the Isle of Wight.

Work on mastic joints is covered throughout PO38, whatever the building. We also cover Southford (1 mile north-west), Bierley (1 mile west), Wroxall (2 miles north-east), Godshill (2 miles north) and Sandford (2 miles north).

Your questions answered
We manage a building near Shanklin station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for agents, landlords and housing associations with blocks of every size. We work to your notice and access arrangements.
Does your area include sites such as Wroxall Industrial Estate, near Nettlecombe?
Yes. Our area takes in Nettlecombe and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Wroxall Industrial Estate included. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Can you send RAMS and CSCS details before starting?
Let us know your requirements: tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote. We hold CHAS accreditation and Constructionline membership.
Can people stay in the building while you reseal?
Occupiers stay in the building throughout. If any flats or units need access, we’ll tell you in advance so it can be arranged.
How do you choose the sealant?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
Does the weather affect the work?
For external joints, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Inside work is seldom held up.
Can you reseal a whole block or estate?
We can. Each building is inspected, quoted and scheduled in turn starting wherever is most urgent.
What sets the cost
Each job is priced on its own details. The things that drive the figure:
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- How accessible the joints are
We don’t publish prices, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. For a fixed figure, call for a quote.
Before you send an enquiry
There’s no need for a formal survey. A few details are enough to get going:
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- Access details, including height
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we will price against exactly what is specified. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photographs and a few notes.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
We bring the products specified for the job, along with primers and backing rod. Joint faces are cleaned back to sound, dry surfaces, primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, and the sealant is tooled off neatly. If others near Nettlecombe need work, visits can be combined, which keeps travel down. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.
- A building-by-building inspection lists the failed joints.
- The quote is fixed and split as suits you.
- We agree the programme and dates with you.
- Old mastic is removed and the joint faces prepared.
- New sealant goes in with backing rod and primer where needed.
- Each building is checked and signed off with the 12-month guarantee.
Getting the site ready

What we can’t put right
Part of a good diagnosis is knowing where sealant stops. We’ll tell you if the real problem is any of the following:
- Failed window or door frames, which need a window contractor
- Leaks from above rather than through a joint
- Glazing that needs replacing
Not sure which it is? You can give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we’ll tell you honestly.

Different surfaces, different methods
Window and door perimeters on blocks
Frames vary from uPVC to aluminium and timber, and the product is matched to the frame material and the masonry. Colours are confirmed for the product used.
External movement joints
Failed sealant is removed, backing rod inserted to control depth and the joint resealed with a grade whose movement class fits.
Aftercare for building managers
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Prioritise elevations facing the weather
- Check the asbestos register before any old mastic is disturbed
- Protect low-level joints in entrances
- Mention RAMS, insurance or CSCS requirements up front
Add mastic joints to your cyclical inspections. Watch for splits, open gaps, hard or chalky surfaces and mastic pulling away and record where they are.
Failed mastic often goes unnoticed until heavy rain finds it. Acting at the first signs keeps it a straightforward reseal and saves internal repairs.
Why act early in Nettlecombe
Piecemeal repairs over the years often leave mismatched sealant. Resealing a whole building gives a consistent finish and one 12-month guarantee. Older rural buildings around Nettlecombe move with the seasons, and rigid or tired sealant can’t keep up. A sealant with the right movement capability, correctly sized, lasts far better.
The specified product makes a difference, as does the preparation each joint needs, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
