- Joints with sealant missing in places

- Gaps where render, brick and frames meet
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Look over the joints every year, ideally after winter
- Leave the joints unpainted unless we have said otherwise
- Point out the joints to other trades
- Fix overflowing gutters above sealed joints
Keep the joints clear of soil, plants and climbing growth. Damp material against the sealant shortens its life.
If you can see gaps, plants or bare sections in a joint, have it checked. Early work is quicker and leaves a better finish.
How we handle external mastic in Baughurst
Low-level joints can generally be done from the ground. Where joints are higher up, tell us about the building when you get in touch and we will confirm what’s needed to reach them safely. We work on render & cladding joints, concrete & block and façade panels, and common reasons people get in touch are joints with sealant missing in places and sealant pulling away from one side of the joint.
Around Baughurst, older buildings can be stone, brick or timber-framed, many with extensions added later. Where one material meets another is where water generally gets in.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

Honest limits
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- Cracked brickwork or render that needs a builder or plasterer
- Cutting new joints into brickwork, which is building work rather than sealant work
- Rising or penetrating damp from elsewhere in the wall

Signs you need external mastic in Baughurst
Joints sealed without backing rod, or far too deep, rarely last. If the sealant sticks to the back as well as the sides, it cannot stretch and tears as soon as the joint widens.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Failed sealant between panels on a façade
- Weeds or debris growing in open joints
- Damp patches traced to an open external joint
- Weathered mastic that no longer stretches
For landlords with property near Midgham station, failed wall and movement joints let damp in, so they’re worth checking between tenancies.

What external mastic looks like in Baughurst
With historic houses such as The Vyne (about 4.6 miles south-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Baughurst as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older brick and stone need a sealant that suits them, at the right joint depth. Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as The Hurst School, movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s. If you live in an older home near Saint Mary's Church, old and new materials meet at the roofline and walls, which is where sealant earns its keep.

Leave it or put it right?
It often makes sense to reseal all the failing joints on an elevation together. Joints of the same age tend to fail together and it means sorting access once. Around Baughurst, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, along with when we can work on site. Ask us for a quote and we will explain what it covers.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
What we do, step by step
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building, just the space around the work. Everything nearby is protected, and the job takes a few hours to a few days, depending on the length of joint and the access in most cases. For a village or hamlet like Baughurst, 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.
- We inspect the joints and agree which need resealing and how they’ll be reached.
- Old sealant and any debris are cut and raked out.
- The joint faces are cleaned and primed where the sealant needs it.
- Closed-cell backing rod is fitted to set the depth and stop three-sided bonding.
- A flexible exterior sealant is applied and tooled in a colour to suit the wall.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

Where do you work from?

Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old sealant, and it traps any mould or water underneath. It all has to come out first.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before applying anything new.
Is there any odour?
That depends on the sealant. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all.
Can I do it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We’re approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.
