- Moss and dirt in joints with no sealant left

Do you need external mastic in East Boldre?
UV, rain and frost all age exterior sealant. In time it goes hard, crazes on the surface and stops stretching, so the next time the wall moves, it splits or pulls away.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Movement joints filled with mortar instead of sealant
- Rain getting behind render or cladding at a joint
- Brick movement joints where the sealant has split
- Moss and dirt in joints with no sealant left
If you let a flat or house near Beaulieu Road station, failed wall and movement joints let damp in, so they’re worth checking between tenancies.

About our external mastic in East Boldre
Short cuts in external joints show up within a season or two. New sealant over old, joints packed with mortar and beads with no backing rarely last long. We take the old material out and do it properly. We are often asked to deal with gaps where render, brick and frames meet and joints pointed up with cement by mistake, on façade panels, joints between brick and frames and render & cladding joints.
Around East Boldre, older buildings can be stone, brick or timber-framed, many with extensions added later. The joints where those materials meet are the weak points, and they need the right sealant at the right depth.
Every job is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Hampshire.

FAQs for East Boldre
Does the coastal weather in East Boldre affect outside sealant?
Coastal homes put outside sealant through more weather than inland ones, so preparation and the right sealant matter all the more. It’s worth checking the walls that face the sea first.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Beaulieu Road station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can call 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.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, wherever you are.
Do you work at height?
It depends on the building. Tell us the height, the number of joints and what’s below them and we’ll confirm how they can be reached safely.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done and you will get one quote.
Why do you put foam in the joint first?
We fit closed-cell backing rod wherever the joint depth needs controlling. It controls the depth and stops the sealant bonding to the back so the bead can stretch.
What’s an expansion joint in brickwork?
A movement joint is a planned break in the wall that absorbs expansion and shrinkage. It’s sealed with a flexible sealant, not mortar.
How long before the joint can be used?
Different products cure at different speeds, so please follow the time we give you.
Looking after it afterwards
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Tell anyone working on the walls about the movement joints
- Leave the joints unpainted unless we’ve said otherwise
- Act on the first splits you see
- Never let anyone fill a movement joint with mortar
Avoid pressure-washing straight into the joints. A strong jet can damage the edges of the bead and let water in behind.
A joint that has stopped moving pushes the movement elsewhere, often as cracks near the joint. Catch it early and you reduce the risk.
Outside joints around East Boldre
East Boldre is within about 3 miles of the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. That is hard on movement joints and outside wall joints, especially on the side facing the sea. Historic houses like Beaulieu Palace House (about 1.3 miles north-east) are a reminder that the area around East Boldre has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older walls and rooflines need a sealant that moves with them and suits the material.
If you look after a building such as Beaulieu Village Primary School, larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing. In the older streets around Church of St Paul, old and new materials meet at the roofline and walls, which is where sealant earns its keep.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
What we cannot put right
In fairness, some problems need a different trade:
- Subsidence or other structural problems
- Damp that isn’t coming from the joint
- Walls that need new movement joints cut into them
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we seal
- Brickwork movement joints
- Copings & trims
- Joints between brick and frames
- Concrete & block

- Render & cladding joints
How it works
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and tell you how long to leave it. The work normally takes a few hours for a handful of joints, longer for a whole elevation, depending on the size of the job. Somewhere like East Boldre 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 look at every joint and agree a colour to suit the wall.
- We take out the old sealant until the faces are sound.
- Backing rod goes in so the sealant can stretch between the two faces.
- Primer is applied wherever the sealant needs it.
- We gun in low-modulus sealant and tool it neatly.
How to prepare
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

Advice
Why deal with it now?
Done well, a resealed joint is a neat, straight line that suits the wall. A rushed bead with no backing looks untidy and doesn’t last. Older cottages and farmhouses around East Boldre can have timber 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, how we reach it and what it needs, along with when we can work on site. Ask us for a quote and we’ll go through it with you.
