Looking after the joints
For the best life from the joints:
- Check sealant joints during planned building inspections
- Keep bins and bikes away from communal door frames
- Avoid piecemeal callouts where you can
- List the paperwork your organisation requires when you send details
Ask residents or tenants to report draughts or leaks round windows early. Early reports catch failures before damage spreads.
Water getting in round frames can damage plaster, decoration and the frames themselves. Resealing early keeps the job small.
Mastic sealing for commercial buildings in Sandford
For blocks and buildings in Sandford and across the Isle of Wight, the process is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed. Addresses, photographs of typical joints and a rough idea of quantities let us give a quick quote or we can visit. Most enquiries involve worn sealant at communal door frames and brittle perimeter mastic across a building, on window and door perimeters on blocks, external wall and movement joints and communal kitchens and washrooms. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Sandford first comes to us: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
Owners and agents with buildings around smaller places such as Sandford 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.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we are clear about what is covered before work starts.

When something else is needed
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- Asbestos-containing sealant, which we don’t remove
- Substrate edges that need repairing first
- Failed window or door frames, which need a window contractor
If in doubt, phone 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we will say what we think.

Block-wide mastic in Sandford
Sandford is within about 3 miles of the coast. Blocks and commercial buildings facing the sea take the most weather on their window perimeters and external joints, so it’s worth inspecting those sides more often. Sandford 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.
Site managers at schools like Godshill Primary School can fit frame mastic into the summer works. If you look after a block within reach of Shanklin station (2.5 miles east of Sandford), frame and balcony mastic can be renewed on one programme. If you are responsible for a building such as All Saints' Church, frame and door mastic needs the same attention as any other property.

Your questions answered
Will you take on work at estates like Wroxall Industrial Estate, close to Sandford?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Sandford, Wroxall Industrial Estate among them, are all within reach. A few photos and the unit address let us price the work.
Our building in Sandford is near the coast: does that change the sealant?
It can. Coastal exposure works external joints harder than inland weather. That puts more weight on product choice, primers where the manufacturer specifies them, and correct joint sizing.
What paperwork can you provide?
We’re CHAS accredited, a Constructionline member and carry 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.
Is mastic sealing guaranteed?
There is a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, backed by public liability insurance.
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.
Can people stay in the building while you reseal?
The work is planned around occupiers. Dates and areas are agreed with you so residents or tenants can be told and communal access is kept open.
How soon can the area be used again?
The product and site conditions decide that. Some take light use quickly, others need longer to cure, and we confirm it before leaving site.
Should maintenance staff do it?
Paperwork matters too. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we’ll confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. The usual problems come from preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
