External mastic in Buriton, done properly
Ground-floor and low-level joints are straightforward to reach. For joints higher up, give us some details of the building and we’ll confirm what access is needed. If you have rigid filler in a joint that should flex and joints where the bead has come unstuck, we can help, whatever the surface.
In a village or hamlet like Buriton, older cottages and farm buildings often stand in the open, where walls and rooflines take the weather head on. Gutter joints and wall joints there need a sealant that can flex and stay put.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Surface by surface
Joints between dissimilar materials
Brick against render, concrete against metal, stone against timber: every change of material is a joint. We seal the joint with a flexible exterior sealant.
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.
When it isn’t the sealant
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Structural movement, which needs a surveyor or engineer
- Rising or penetrating damp from elsewhere in the wall
- Cracked brickwork or render that needs a builder or plasterer
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we seal
- Joints between brick and frames
- Brickwork movement joints
- Concrete & block
- Copings & trims
- Render & cladding joints
- Façade panels
How it works
Every visit runs the same way: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, do the work and tidy away. Most jobs take a few hours to a few days, depending on the length of joint and the access. Somewhere as small as Buriton, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- 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.
- We fit closed-cell backing rod to control the depth.
- The exterior sealant is applied, tooled and checked along its length.
How to prepare
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

Buriton buildings and the weather
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind. With historic houses such as Uppark (about 3 miles south-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Buriton 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.
If you let a flat or house near Petersfield station, split movement joints are easy to miss on a rental until damp shows inside. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Mary, old and new materials meet at the roofline and walls, which is where sealant earns its keep.
Buriton is about 2 miles south of Petersfield, in Hampshire. Anywhere in GU31, we can carry out external mastic at your property. 683 places in Hampshire are on our list, large and small. Portsmouth is on our list too, about 13 miles from Buriton.

Aftercare tips
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Don’t let climbing plants root in the sealant
- Check external joints each spring
- Ask before painting over external sealant
- Keep high-pressure jets off the joints
Avoid pressure-washing straight into the joints. High-pressure water can lift the edges over time.
Once a joint can’t move, the wall finds another way, generally as cracking in the brickwork or render nearby. Resealing it early helps prevent that.
Leave it or put it right?
A failed movement joint lets water into the wall. Resealing early keeps the job to the joint itself, instead of the wall and finishes around it. In a small place like Buriton, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.

Common questions in Buriton
Do you cover Buriton for external mastic?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Buriton is part of that. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and let us know what needs doing.
I let a flat near Petersfield station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
How long should I leave it?
That depends on the sealant used, so please follow the time we give you.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.
Do you seal joints where cladding meets other materials?
Yes. Different materials move at different rates, so the joint between them must be flexible. The sealant is matched to both sides.
What does external mastic cost?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Ask us for a quote.
Why is there a gap in my brick wall?
Brickwork, render and cladding all move a little, so long walls have planned gaps to take that movement. It’s closed with backing rod and a flexible sealant.
Is it OK to fill a movement joint with cement?
No, not where the gap is a movement joint. Pointing it stops it working, and the wall may crack nearby. We’ll reseal it with a flexible sealant.
Common problems we fix in Buriton
Weeds, moss and debris in a joint are a sign the sealant has gone. Roots and dirt hold water against the wall.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Joints with sealant missing in places
- Moss and dirt in joints with no sealant left
- Water getting into walls through failed joints
- Movement joints filled with mortar instead of sealant
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Buriton Primary School, its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s.
