How we handle mastic sealing in Yarbridge
Blocks are lived in, so access and disruption have to be thought through. Dates, areas and the order of work are agreed with you in advance, giving you what you need to notify residents. Communal entrances and stairs stay usable throughout. If you have a mix of products and colours from past repairs and leaks at window and door perimeters, we can help, on communal entrances and stairwells, external wall and movement joints and communal kitchens and washrooms alike. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, in Yarbridge it comes down to the same thing: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Owners and agents with buildings around smaller places such as Yarbridge tend to manage small terraces of association properties, converted barns and commercial units. Mastic around frames and on external joints wears out in time, whatever the building.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: preparation, application and finish. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

Why deal with it now?
Dealing with failed joints one report at a time is slow and scattered. Planned resealing covers a whole building or estate in one go and is simpler to manage and budget. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Yarbridge, rather than one at a time. Send photographs of each area and we’ll quote for the lot.
Pricing mastic joints depends on quantities, condition and access, plus any specification you are working to. Call for a quote.

What else we do in Yarbridge
What sets the cost
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, because every site is different. What we take into account:
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Any access equipment needed
- Phasing around occupants
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well.
Sending details for a quote
To price the job accurately, we need a clear picture of the site. Useful things to include:
- Specification clauses that apply
- Clear photographs of the problem areas
- Access details, including height
- Your programme or deadline
Send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed: that’s how every job runs. To take the first step, phone 01277 525 020 or email the details over.
Questions we’re asked in Yarbridge
Can you quote for a block close to Brading station?
Yes, we work for agents, landlords and housing associations with blocks of every size. Send the address, photos of the elevations and your access arrangements, and we’ll give a fixed quote.
Does a coastal location like Yarbridge affect which sealant is used?
It can. Wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt air are harder on external joints. We choose the product for the exposure, prime where the manufacturer requires it and size the joint for its movement.
Can you reseal a whole block or estate?
We can. Each building is inspected, quoted and scheduled in turn, and the programme can start with the worst.
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.
How long does a typical visit take?
It depends on the scope, though a typical visit typically takes one or more days per building, depending on the joint lengths and the access. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we’ll give you a timescale with the quote.
Do you guarantee the mastic work?
A 12-month guarantee covers our work. It covers our workmanship, not later building movement, damage or frame failures.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance, and any queries are raised before we start.
When it isn’t the sealant
A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. We’ll tell you if the real problem is one of these:
- Failed window or door frames, which need a window contractor
- Broken glass or failed sealed units
- Roof leaks, gutters or failed flashings that aren’t sealant joints
If in doubt, phone 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we’ll say what we think.
What we seal
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
- Communal kitchens and washrooms

- Window and door perimeters on blocks
- Communal entrances and stairwells
On site: what to expect
The first thing on site is a walk round with your contact, to confirm the scope, the order of work and any areas we must keep clear.

Send that with the details and we will confirm the plan with the quote.
- First comes a look at the joints and, for older buildings, the asbestos records.

- We strip out the old sealant.
- Joint faces are cleaned, backed and resealed.
- Buildings are completed in turn.
Before we start on site

- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs

Related advice
When to call us in Yarbridge
Many failed joints were sealed without backing rod, so the mastic is glued to the joint bottom too. That three-sided adhesion stops it stretching and it tears.
Look out for the following:
- Open joints in brickwork or panels
- Window mastic that has split and shrunk
- Leaks at window and door perimeters
- No planned programme for sealant
Trustees of buildings like St. Mary's Church can bring frame and external mastic into a planned maintenance list.
Before you book anyone
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
- The terms of the workmanship guarantee
- Are they CHAS accredited or on Constructionline?
Planned mastic for Yarbridge portfolios
With the shore within about 1 mile, Yarbridge counts as a coastal location. On buildings near the shore, the side facing the weather normally needs its mastic renewed first; plan inspections around that. Yarbridge sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Outside work still depends on dry joints, while the elevations that take the most sun tend to show hardened mastic first.
Buildings close to stations like Brading station (to the north-east of Yarbridge) are often flats over shops, with frame mastic to keep sound. Older buildings near Yarbridge, from historic houses such as Morton Manor, 0.1 miles to the west of Yarbridge, to more modest stock, need compatible products when frames are resealed.
Yarbridge is about 2 miles north-east of Sandown, in the Isle of Wight. Our applicators travel to Yarbridge for work on mastic joints, handled exactly as we handle every other area. 125 places across the Isle of Wight fall within our area, including Yarbridge. Sites around Portsmouth have their own page, about 10 miles away.
Postcode districts covered here: PO36. We cover commercial and managed buildings on New Road, Morton Road and Church Lane and the roads nearby. Yarbridge sits on or close to the A3055. Just outside Yarbridge, we also work in Morton (1 mile south-west), Brading (1 mile north), Adgestone (1 mile west), Yaverland (1 mile south-east) and Sandown (2 miles south-west). Bigger towns within reach include Newport (7 miles west), Ryde (4 miles north), Cowes (9 miles north-west), Shanklin (3 miles south-west), Ventnor (6 miles south-west) and East Cowes (8 miles north-west). Island and remote sites need extra planning, with travel, ferry crossings where needed and weather to allow for, so give the site location in your enquiry.
Near you in Yarbridge
Locally, jobs take us to sites close to Sandown Bay Academy, The Bugle Inn and The Bay Church of England School and the streets around them. The nearest railway station is Brading station, roughly 0.5 miles north-east. Well-known places in the area include Arthur Webster Memorial Hospital for Children (3.1 miles south-west) and Sandown Castle (1.2 miles south). Not far away are Brading Marshes RSPB reserve and Brading Down.
Looking after the joints
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. We suggest:
- Keep a record of when each building was resealed
- Share the asbestos register when you send details
- Ask residents or tenants to report leaks and draughts early
- Protect low-level joints in entrances
Our workmanship is covered for 12 months, so report any failure in that time. After that, regular inspection keeps the programme on track.
The longer failed joints are left, the more likely the substrate edges break up. Then the edges may need repairing first and the job grows.
