How we handle external mastic in Arreton
On houses, flats and commercial buildings across Arreton, we reseal joints in brickwork, render, cladding and façade panels. The preparation is the same whatever the wall: clean joint faces and the right depth. Typical jobs include weathered mastic that no longer stretches and failed seals between different materials, on render & cladding joints, joints between brick and frames and brickwork movement joints.
Older homes in small places like Arreton may be stone, brick or timber-framed, often with later extensions. The joints where those materials meet are the weak points.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Arreton
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Tell us the address, the job and how access works.
We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders. Sealant work between tenants is a simple way to keep a property in good order.
What we do, step by step
There is not much for you to do on the day. Show us the job and we will take it from there. The work itself takes a few hours to a few days, depending on the length of joint and the access from start to finish. In a small place like Arreton, access is normally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We inspect the joints and agree which need resealing and how they’ll be reached.
- We cut out the failed sealant and rake out any dirt or growth.
- We clean both faces of the joint and prime them where the product calls for it.
- Backing rod goes in next, setting the depth and keeping the sealant off the back of the joint.
- The new sealant, chosen to suit the brick or render, is applied and tooled to a neat finish.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

What we cannot put right
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:
- Cutting new joints into brickwork, which is building work rather than sealant work
- Cracks in the bricks or render themselves, away from the joints
- Damp that is not coming from the joint
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Surface by surface
Joints between dissimilar materials
Each side of the joint may need its own preparation. Both surfaces are cleaned and primed as the product requires.
Cladding and façade panels
Panels heat up and cool down quickly, so the joints work hard every day. The sealant is chosen with that in mind.
Arreton buildings and the weather
With historic houses such as Arreton Manor (about 0.5 miles north-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Arreton as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older walls and rooflines need a sealant that moves with them and suits the material. Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
For an older house near a landmark such as St. George's Church, older walls, gutters and the joints where extensions meet them need a flexible sealant.

Why it’s worth doing now in Arreton
A failed movement joint lets water into the wall and can run behind render or cladding. Dealing with it early keeps the repair to the joint, rather than the wall around it. Older cottages and farmhouses around Arreton can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.

Signs you need external mastic in Arreton
The wrong product in a moving joint is a classic cause. A stiff, general-purpose sealant cannot cope with a joint that moves a lot, and it tears off the sides.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Gaps where render, brick and frames meet
- Sealant pulling away from one side of the joint
- Plants rooting in failed movement joints
- Water getting into walls through failed joints
If you let a flat or house near Sandown station, failed wall and movement joints let damp in, so they’re worth checking between tenancies.
