East Meon buildings and the weather
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 an older house near a landmark such as Church of All Saints, an extension built onto an older house moves differently, and the joint between them takes the strain. For landlords with property near Petersfield station, split movement joints are easy to miss on a rental until damp shows inside. Managing a site like East Meon Church of England Controlled Primary School? Then larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing.

About our external mastic in East Meon
A movement joint is a deliberate break that lets a wall expand and contract. The sealant in it has to stretch and squeeze for years, so once it splits or hardens, the joint stops working and water gets in. Typical jobs include cracked joints where brick meets render or frames and failed sealant between panels on a façade, across brickwork movement joints, copings & trims and façade panels.
Around East Meon, older buildings can be stone, brick or timber-framed, many with extensions added later. The joints where those materials meet are the weak points.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

Common questions in East Meon
Do you cover smaller places like East Meon?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you cover East Meon for external mastic?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and East Meon is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear price.
Should I point up the gap in my brickwork?
No. Rigid materials cannot move with the wall and the joint fails. Where a joint has been mortared, it can often be raked out and sealed properly.
What sealant do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we’ll explain our choice.
What should I tell you?
A short description and the location, with photos by email if possible. If we need more, we’ll ask.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, because it fails. The old sealant always comes out first.
Where are you based?
We’re a Crawley-based firm, with over 20 years’ experience. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Will the new joint stand out?
We choose a sealant colour to suit the brick, stone or render, so the joint sits quietly in the wall. Exterior sealants come in a good range of colours.
Can I do it myself?
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
When it isn’t the sealant
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Movement that’s more than a sealant joint can take
- Walls that need new movement joints cut into them
- Cracks in the bricks or render themselves, away from the joints
If you’re not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Quotes for external mastic in East Meon
For a quick quote, just ask. The main things that affect it are:
- When we can work, for business premises
- The size of the job
- Access and height
- Which sealant suits the joint
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
Asking for a quote
To make quoting easier, please include:
- The problem you’ve noticed
- The rough size of the job
- The type of property
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
It all starts with a short chat. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job, and we will explain how we’d tackle it. When it suits you, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
How to look after the new joints
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Don’t let climbing plants root in the sealant
- Keep movement joints as flexible joints, not mortar
- Get split or bare joints resealed while the damage is small
- Walk round the building once a year and look at the joints
Keep pressure washers away from the sealant. A strong jet can damage the edges of the bead and let water in behind.
Act while the splits are small. Then it’s a straightforward cut-out and reseal.
How it works
There’s no need to move everything out, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the work takes a few hours to a few days, depending on the length of joint and the access in most cases. Somewhere like East Meon needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We start by walking round the building and agreeing the joints and the access.
- 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.
- Backing rod sized to the joint goes in to set the depth.
- The exterior sealant is applied, tooled and checked along its length.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Mention any parking rules near the property

Advice
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report. Several properties can go on one quote.
Surface by surface
Concrete and blockwork
Concrete faces can be dusty and porous, so cleaning and priming matter. We prime where the sealant needs it before sealing.
Brickwork movement joints
Brick moves with heat and moisture, and grows a little over time. The movement joint takes that up, so its sealant has to stay flexible.
