Mastic sealing around Totland: how the place shapes the job
Totland is within about 1 mile 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. Totland is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. Even so, frame mastic only goes on in dry, workable conditions, and the sunniest, most exposed sides of a building usually need attention first.
Trustees of buildings like Christ Church can bring frame and external mastic into a planned maintenance list.
Totland is about 5 miles south of Lymington, in the Isle of Wight. Our applicators travel to Totland for work on mastic joints, handled exactly as we handle every other area. We work across 125 places in the Isle of Wight. Our Southampton page has more on work in that area, about 18 miles away.
We take on mastic joints across the PO39 and PO40 postcode area. Among the streets we cover are Meadow Barn Close, Ward Road and Weston Road, and sites on any of them can send details for a fixed quote. You’ll find Totland on or near the B3322.

Mastic sealing for commercial buildings in Totland
Different joints need different sealants. Low-modulus neutral-cure silicone suits many window perimeters and external movement joints, and MS polymer sealants stick well to many substrates and often take paint, and colours are confirmed for whichever product is used. Most enquiries involve a mix of products and colours from past repairs and worn sealant at communal door frames, on communal entrances and stairwells, window and door perimeters on blocks and shopfronts below residential blocks.

Do you need mastic sealing in Totland?
UV and rain age external sealant. It stiffens, stops stretching and cracks most of all on the sunniest and most exposed elevations.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- No planned programme for sealant
- Open joints in brickwork or panels
- Communal area joints that look neglected
- Draughts at frames across a block
For a school such as St Saviour's Catholic Primary School, perimeter mastic on windows and doors is a holiday job.
Before you book anyone
- Their pre-qualification and accreditations
- Their public liability cover
- What site paperwork they can supply
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
Looking after the joints
After handover, these steps help:
- Avoid piecemeal callouts where you can
- Have the asbestos survey to hand for older buildings
- Mention RAMS, insurance or CSCS requirements up front
- Include mastic in your cyclical inspections
Include sealant in planned building inspections. Check for splits, open joints, brittle mastic and lifting edges, and note the building and elevation.
Budgets are easier to plan when sealant is part of planned maintenance. We can quote buildings in priority order so spending is spread.
When something else is needed
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Broken glass or failed sealed units
- Water coming in from the roof or rainwater goods
- Materials that need asbestos testing before work
If in doubt, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on

Leave it or put it right?
Reacting to every complaint means sending someone out block by block. A planned programme treats each building once and is simpler to manage and budget. Sealant hardens, cracks and loses grip with age, UV and movement. Replacing it before it fails keeps water out.
No two sites price the same: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.
Why us?
- Health and safety: CHAS accredited
- Our applicators hold CSCS cards
- Workmanship guaranteed for 12 months
- Over 20 years of commercial sealing

Your questions answered
Our building in Totland is near the coast: does that change the sealant?
It can. Coastal exposure works external joints harder than inland weather. Product choice and preparation matter more, and sea-facing elevations are worth inspecting more often.
Is Totland too small for you to travel to?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. London and every South East county are within our area. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
When can the area be used after sealing?
The product and site conditions decide that. Some products skin over quickly but need longer to cure fully, and we confirm it before leaving site.
How many days will you need on site?
The duration is planned around your programme and the access we’re given. You’ll have an expected duration with the quote.
How long do sealant joints last?
There isn’t a single answer, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
What about access for upper-floor joints?
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’ll confirm the approach in the quote.
Will you come and look before quoting?
Photos, drawings or a schedule are often enough to quote. If the job needs a look first, we will arrange a visit.
Our process
We bring the products specified for the job, along with primers and backing rod. Any old material is cut back to clean, sound faces, the manufacturer’s primer is applied where it’s called for, and the sealant is tooled off neatly. Work in places the size of Totland is planned as a single visit where we can. Photos with rough sizes let us arrive with everything needed.
- We inspect the joints, building by building, and record what has failed and why.
- A fixed quote follows, split by block or building if that suits you.
- 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.
- Backing rod and primer go in where the joint and the product need them, then new sealant is applied and tooled.
- Finished joints are looked over and the 12-month guarantee confirmed.
Preparing the site
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- Let us know about inductions and permits
Getting a fixed quote
Send us photographs, drawings or a joint schedule are often enough for a fixed quote. Where a site visit makes more sense, we’ll arrange one.

How the quote is worked out
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, because every site is different. What we take into account:
- The size and state of each joint
- Working within restricted access windows
- How much there is to seal
- Travel to remote or island sites
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote, and you’ll have a fixed figure to work with.
What we need to price the job
A few photos plus some basic facts will normally do. It helps to include:
- Access details, including height
- Clear photos of the problem areas
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we will price the work to it. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photos and a few notes.
