About our mastic sealing in Shalfleet
Owners and agents typically inherit a building’s mastic rather than choose it and it slowly wears out: window perimeters, door frames, external joints and communal junctions all rely on it. Once it cracks, hardens or comes away, draughts and water find a way in along with complaints. Most enquiries involve draughts at frames across a block and mastic failing across several blocks on an estate, across external wall and movement joints, shopfronts below residential blocks and balcony and threshold joints. Most enquiries from Shalfleet start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
For owners with a single building near Shalfleet, we plan to finish in one visit where possible. Send photographs of the frames and joints and we’ll give a fixed quote.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we’re upfront about that.

Aftercare for building managers
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. Our advice:
- Track which buildings were done and when
- Group repairs into a planned programme
- Prioritise elevations facing the weather
- Have the asbestos survey to hand for older buildings
Where a paintable product was specified, it can be painted after curing. Non-paintable silicone shouldn’t be painted over unless told otherwise.
Budgets are easier to plan when sealant is part of planned maintenance. A programme can start with the worst buildings and work down the list.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
Our CSCS-carded applicators arrive with the sealants, primers and backing rod the job calls for. 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 Shalfleet need work, visits can be combined. You will have a fixed quote before work starts.
- 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.
- The programme is fixed with you, including dates you can pass on to residents or tenants.
- Failed mastic is removed and the faces taken back to sound, dry material.
- Backing rod and primer go in as the joint requires, then the new bead is placed and tooled.
- Completed joints are inspected and carry a 12-month workmanship guarantee.

Advice
Shalfleet: questions and answers
Can being near the sea in Shalfleet affect the sealant we need?
It can. Driven rain and salt are tougher on outside sealant than sheltered inland conditions. That puts more weight on product choice, primers where the manufacturer specifies them, and correct joint sizing.
Is Shalfleet off your patch?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across Greater London and the South East. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
What do you charge?
We don’t publish prices, as every site differs. With photos or drawings, we can give you a fixed quote.
Is asbestos a concern with old mastic?
Asbestos removal isn’t part of our work. If old sealant is suspected, work stops until it’s tested, and the duty to manage asbestos sits with the dutyholder.
When can the area be used after sealing?
Curing time varies by product, and we confirm it on the day, and sign any area that should be left alone.
What guarantee do you give on resealing?
There is a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship and we hold public liability insurance.
When is resealing likely to be due?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
Why it’s worth doing now in Shalfleet
Looking at mastic during planned maintenance costs little. Waiting until leaks appear means working under pressure with less control over timing. Older rural buildings around Shalfleet 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.
There’s no price list, since every building and every scope is different. For a fixed figure, call for a quote.

Block-wide mastic in Shalfleet
Shalfleet is within about 2 miles of the coast. On buildings near the shore, the side facing the weather typically needs its mastic renewed first, so it’s worth inspecting those sides more often. Shalfleet is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. 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.
If you own or manage units on a site such as Porchfield Business Park, 1.8 miles north-east of Shalfleet, failed mastic on frames, door surrounds and external joints can be dealt with unit by unit. Churches, halls and community buildings such as Church of St. Michael the Archangel are looked after by trustees and committees like any other owner, and their frames, doors and external joints need mastic renewed in time. Historic properties like Swainston Manor, 2.1 miles to the south-east of Shalfleet, show the age of some local stock, where frame mastic must suit soft brick or stone.
Shalfleet is about 5 miles west of Newport, in the Isle of Wight. We send applicators to Shalfleet for mastic joints, handled exactly as we handle every other area. Shalfleet is one of 125 places in the Isle of Wight on our list for mastic joints. We also cover Southampton, some 15 miles away.
