How we handle external mastic in Bouldnor
Joints in render and cladding are easy to overlook until a damp patch appears. We look over the joints, agree the ones to renew and reseal with a flexible, weatherproof product. Typical jobs include damp patches traced to an open external joint and leaking joints around cladding and façade panels, across concrete & block, façade panels and brickwork movement joints.
External sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work around Bouldnor is planned for dry weather. Let us know about access to every wall, plus any garages or outbuildings.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee in Bouldnor and across the Isle of Wight.

What happens on the day
Once we are on site, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. Most jobs then take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the building. Somewhere as small as Bouldnor, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We look at every joint and agree a colour to suit the wall.
- Failed sealant is removed back to clean, sound faces.
- Closed-cell backing rod is pushed in so the sealant bonds to two sides only.
- We prime the faces where required.
- A low-modulus exterior sealant is gunned in and tooled to a neat finish.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Let us know about parking restrictions

Common questions in Bouldnor
Do you work for landlords with property near Lymington Pier station?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Does the coastal weather in Bouldnor affect outside sealant?
Near the sea, outside joints face more wind, rain and salt than they would inland, so the choice of sealant and the preparation matter even more. It’s worth checking the walls that face the sea first.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old sealant, and it traps any mould or water underneath. It all has to come out first.
When will the joints need doing again?
It varies from wall to wall: joints on exposed walls or with a lot of movement age sooner. A yearly look will tell you when they need doing. Our work comes with a one-year guarantee.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes, regularly. Larger jobs can be planned room by room or area by area.
Do you cover Bouldnor?
Yes. From our base in Crawley, we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland, Bouldnor included.
When is the sealant fully cured?
Many sealants skin over quickly but take longer to cure fully. We will tell you how long to leave the joint.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator, and we are fully insured.
How the job changes by surface
Concrete and blockwork
Concrete and block walls shrink as they dry and move with temperature. We reseal their joints with backing rod and a flexible product.
Copings and trims
A failed coping joint lets water into the top of the wall. Resealing them is a small job that protects a lot.
Why deal with it now?
Running new sealant over the old bead rarely lasts. New sealant does not bond well to old, weathered sealant, so we always take the old sealant out. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Bouldnor, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we ask about the job first and give you a clear price before work begins.

Bouldnor buildings and the weather
Bouldnor is close to the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. Both are hard on movement joints and outside wall joints, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. Historic houses like Mottistone Manor (about 4.4 miles south-east) are a reminder that the area around Bouldnor has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older brick and stone need a sealant that suits them, at the right joint depth.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Swithin (old), old and new materials meet at the roofline and walls, which is where sealant earns its keep. If you let a flat or house near Lymington Pier station, failed wall and movement joints let damp in, so they’re worth checking between tenancies.

How to look after the new joints
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Avoid pressure-washing directly into sealant joints
- Point out the joints to other trades
- Don’t let climbing plants root in the sealant
- Make sure movement joints are not pointed over
Make sure anyone working on the wall later knows where the movement joints are. They must stay as flexible joints, never rendered or pointed over.
If you can see gaps, plants or bare sections in a joint, have it checked. Early work is quicker and leaves a better finish.
Other services in Bouldnor
What we are called out for in Bouldnor
Poor preparation causes many early failures: joint faces that were dusty or damp, unprimed where they needed it, or still carrying old sealant. The sealant never bonds properly.
The problems people generally mention when they call include:
- Gaps where render, brick and frames meet
- Movement joints filled with mortar instead of sealant
- Rain getting behind render or cladding at a joint
- Old sealant gone brittle and cracked
Schools such as Yarmouth Church of England Aided Primary School are buildings too, and movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s.
