External mastic in Deepcut, done properly
Joints in render and cladding are easy to overlook until a damp patch appears. We inspect them, agree which need doing and reseal with a weatherproof, flexible sealant. If you are dealing with joints with sealant missing in places and joints pointed up with cement by mistake, we can put it right.
Houses in smaller places like Deepcut can stand more in the open than those in a built-up town, and walls and rooflines facing the weather take the worst of it. That is where gutter joints and wall joints tend to fail first.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Have failed joints looked at early
- Deal with leaking gutters that soak the joints below
- Avoid pressure-washing directly into sealant joints
- Check the sealant is paintable before painting near it
Look over the joints once a year, ideally after winter. Watch for splits, edges coming away or growth in the joint.
If you can see gaps, plants or bare sections in a joint, have it checked. Early work is quicker and leaves a better finish.
External mastic in Deepcut: local notes
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 Sandringham Infant & Nursery School, its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s.

Leave it or put it right?
Water gets in through a failed movement joint, behind render and cladding. Dealing with it early keeps the repair to the joint, rather than the wall around it. In a smaller place like Deepcut, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.
Why book with us

Different surfaces, different methods
Joints between dissimilar materials
Where a frame or panel meets masonry, water often finds a way in. The old joint is removed and a sealant that bonds to both sides goes in.
Render joints
Water behind render can lead to blown patches. A sound joint keeps the render dry behind and protects the render itself.
Common problems we fix in Deepcut
Joints sealed without backing rod, or far too deep, rarely last. Sealant bonded to three sides has nowhere to go and rips as the joint opens.
The problems people normally mention when they call include:
- Weathered mastic that no longer stretches
- Damp patches traced to an open external joint
- Joints with sealant missing in places
- Joints where the bead has come unstuck
For landlords with property near Farnborough North station, outside joints that have cracked can let damp into a rental, so check them between lets.

What else we do in Deepcut
Common questions in Deepcut
Is Deepcut in your area for external mastic?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Deepcut is part of that. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
I let a flat near Farnborough North station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before work begins.
How long does the job take?
As a guide, most jobs take a few hours to a few days, depending on the length of joint and the access. Bigger jobs take longer, and we will tell you how long to expect.
How long does external mastic last?
There’s no fixed answer: sunny, exposed elevations and busy joints wear faster. A yearly look will tell you when they need doing. Every job carries our 12-month guarantee.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before applying anything new.
Why do you put foam in the joint first?
Backing rod goes into deeper joints as a matter of course. It sets the sealant depth and prevents three-sided bonding, so the joint can move.
Do the sealants smell?
Sometimes, a little. It fades as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Can I do it myself?
It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Deepcut
Hotels need rooms back in use, so we plan the work room by room around your bookings where we can. We have worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
How it works
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first, so you know exactly what we are doing. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the building. For a job in Deepcut, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- We inspect the joints and agree which need resealing and how they’ll be reached.
- The old mastic and anything lodged in the joint is removed.
- We clean both faces of the joint and prime them where the product calls for it.
- We push in closed-cell backing rod so the sealant is the right depth and bonds to the sides only.
- We gun in a flexible exterior sealant in a colour that suits the wall and tool it neatly.
How to prepare
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Tell us about any water getting in
