External mastic in Blissford, done properly
We cut out failed sealant, set the joint depth with closed-cell backing rod and reseal with a low-modulus exterior sealant. We pick a colour that sits well with the wall so the joint does not stand out. We work on façade panels, brickwork movement joints and render & cladding joints, and the jobs we see most are failed seals between different materials and old sealant gone brittle and cracked.
External sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work around Blissford is planned for dry weather. Tell us about access to all sides of the building, including outbuildings and garages.
Every job comes with a 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Hampshire.

How the visit works
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. After that, the work takes a few hours to a few days, depending on the length of joint and the access. Somewhere like Blissford needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We start by walking round the building and agreeing the joints and the access.
- Every bit of old sealant and any mortar or debris is cut out.
- Joint faces are cleaned back and primed if the sealant needs it.
- Backing rod sized to the joint goes in to set the depth.
- We apply the sealant, tool it and check the whole run.
How to prepare
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Mention any tricky access
- Tell us if parking is tricky

How to look after the new joints
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Check the sealant is paintable before painting near it
- Look over the joints every year, ideally after winter
- Get split or bare joints resealed while the damage is small
- Deal with leaking gutters that soak the joints below
Keep the joints clear of soil, plants and climbing growth. Anything that holds water against the joint wears it out sooner.
Small splits are the time to act. Then it’s a straightforward cut-out and reseal.
Leave it or put it right?
Running new sealant over the old bead rarely lasts. New sealant does not bond well to old, weathered sealant, so the old joint is cut out fully first. Older cottages and farmhouses around Blissford can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.

How we quote for external mastic
Every job gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:

- The type of property
- The rough size of the job
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- Whether it has been sealed before
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or email us if that is easier. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we will explain what’s involved before giving you a price.
Common problems we fix in Blissford
Every building moves. Clay bricks expand slightly over their life, concrete and block shrink, and everything moves with temperature and wet. All of that ends up in the joint sealant.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Rigid filler in a joint that should flex
- Rain getting behind render or cladding at a joint
- Joints with sealant missing in places
- Leaking joints around cladding and façade panels
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of the Holy Ascension, an extension built onto an older house moves differently, and the joint between them takes the strain.
Before you book anyone
- What product goes in the joint
- Are they insured?
- How much experience the applicator has
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
What the job involves on each surface
Concrete and blockwork
Concrete faces can be dusty and porous, so preparation is key. A primer goes on where the product requires one before the bead.
Joints between dissimilar materials
Different materials may need different primers. We prepare both faces so the sealant bonds properly.
Your questions about external mastic in Blissford
What guarantee comes with external mastic in Blissford?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Can you do external mastic in Blissford?
Yes, Blissford is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.
How long does the job take?
Typically it takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the building. Bigger jobs take longer.

Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we tidy up before we go.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. Several properties can be quoted together.
Are you insured?

How often do external joints need resealing?
There’s no fixed answer: joints on exposed walls or with a lot of movement age sooner. A yearly look will tell you when they need doing. Every job carries our one-year guarantee.
Blissford buildings and the weather
With historic houses such as Breamore House (about 3.8 miles north) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Blissford 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.
Managing a site like Hyde Church of England Primary School? Then larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing.
