Arford buildings and the weather
Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
Homes close to Church of All Saints include some older properties, and the joints between older walls, newer extensions and the roofline need a sealant that can move. Managing a site like The Holme Church of England Primary School? Then movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s. If you let a flat or house near Liphook station, split movement joints are easy to miss on a rental until damp shows inside.

About our external mastic in Arford
Where two different materials meet, such as brick and render or blockwork and metal, they move at different rates. A flexible sealant bridges the two. If you have hard, crazed mastic that has stopped moving and damp patches traced to an open external joint, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Somewhere as small as Arford, homes and farm buildings often face open ground, where walls and rooflines take the weather head on. Gutter joints and wall joints there need a sealant that can flex and stay put.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

What happens if it’s left?
Pointing a movement joint with mortar might seem a neat fix, but it locks the joint solid. The wall then cracks somewhere else. The correct repair is a flexible sealant with the right backing. Older cottages and farmhouses around Arford can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
Why book with us
- White, clear, grey or coloured to suit, where the product allows
- Homes, businesses and hotels

DIY sealant or a professional job?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
Different surfaces, different methods
Concrete and blockwork
Big joints in concrete need careful depth control. Backing rod sized to the joint sets it so the sealant is not too deep.
Render joints
Render has movement joints and stop beads that need sealing. We reseal them with a flexible exterior sealant that suits the render colour.
For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Arford, several properties can go on one quote. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs.
Landlords and letting agents in Arford can book us as well as householders. Sealant work between tenants is a simple way to keep a property in good order.
How the visit works
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, protect the area around them, carry out the job and clear up. Most jobs take a few hours to a few days, depending on the length of joint and the access. For a village or hamlet like Arford, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- First, the joints are inspected and the access agreed.
- We cut out the old mastic and rake out anything in the joint.
- Joint faces are cleaned back and primed if the sealant needs it.
- Backing rod sized to the joint goes in to set the depth.
- The exterior sealant is applied, tooled and checked along its length.
Preparing for the visit
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

Related advice
Your questions about external mastic in Arford
Will you come out to Arford?
Yes. Arford is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
I let a flat near Liphook station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
What sealant do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, chosen to suit the joint. We explain the product when we quote.
How often do external joints need resealing?
It varies with how exposed the wall is and how much the joint moves. Signs to watch for are cracking, hardening and gaps at the edges and have them redone then.
Can a movement joint be filled with mortar?
No. Mortar locks the joint solid, so the wall cracks somewhere else instead. It needs a flexible sealant over backing rod.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We’re approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
When is the sealant fully cured?
Different products cure at different speeds, so follow the cure time we give you.
How to look after the new joints
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Deal with leaking gutters that soak the joints below
- Keep high-pressure jets off the joints
- Make sure movement joints aren’t pointed over
- Look over the joints every year, ideally after winter
Only paint over the joint if we have confirmed the sealant can take paint. Many exterior sealants are not designed to be painted, and paint can crack as the joint moves.
Leaks behind façade panels and render often go unseen. When it finally shows inside, the joint may have been open for years.
What we can’t put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Walls that need new movement joints cut into them
- Failed render or damaged cladding panels
- Cracking across the wall rather than at a joint
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think.
