External Mastic in East Wellow
External mastic across East Wellow and nearby, with old sealant always removed completely and a one-year guarantee.
- Sealant pulling away from one side of the joint
- Water getting into walls through failed joints
- Gaps where render, brick and frames meet
Common problems we fix in East Wellow
Weeds, moss and debris in a joint are a sign the sealant has gone. Dirt and roots then trap moisture in the joint and make things worse.
Look out for these signs:
- Rigid filler in a joint that should flex
- Gaps where render, brick and frames meet
- Damp patches traced to an open external joint
- Leaking joints around cladding and façade panels
If you live in an older home near Church of St Margaret, older walls, gutters and the joints where extensions meet them need a flexible sealant.

About our external mastic in East Wellow
Low-level joints can usually be done from the ground. For joints higher up, give us some details of the building and we will confirm what access is needed. We work on concrete & block, façade panels and copings & trims, and common reasons people get in touch are water getting into walls through failed joints and failed seals between different materials.
Outside joints can only be sealed when they’re dry, so work in East Wellow is booked around the forecast. Let us know about access to every wall, plus any garages or outbuildings.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

East Wellow buildings and the weather
Historic houses like Landford Manor (about 2.8 miles west) are a reminder that the area around East Wellow 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. London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
Letting a property close to Romsey station? Then split movement joints are easy to miss on a rental until damp shows inside. If you look after a building such as Wellow School, movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s.

Surface by surface
Joints between dissimilar materials
Joints where frames, sills or panels meet the wall are common leak points. We cut out the old sealant and reseal with a product suited to both surfaces.
Copings and trims
Copings expand and contract through the day, so a flexible sealant suits them best year round.
What we cannot put right
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’ll tell you before work begins. It won’t solve:
- Adding movement joints to masonry that has none
- Structural movement, which needs a surveyor or engineer
- Cracking across the wall rather than at a joint
If you are not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Brickwork movement joints
- Joints between brick and frames
- Façade panels
- Copings & trims
- Render & cladding joints
- Concrete & block
How to look after the new joints
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Don’t let climbing plants root in the sealant
- Check the sealant is paintable before painting near it
- Keep movement joints as flexible joints, not mortar
- Avoid pressure-washing directly into sealant joints
Do not paint over the new sealant unless we’ve said the product is paintable. Paint can crack on a flexible joint and spoil the finish.
Water getting behind cladding or render can go unnoticed for a long time. By the time there’s a damp patch, the damage can be well established.
Common questions in East Wellow
Do you work for landlords with property near Romsey station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Will you come out to East Wellow?
Yes. East Wellow is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
What is a movement joint?
It’s a deliberate gap that lets the wall expand and contract without cracking. It’s sealed with a flexible sealant, not mortar.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes. Every job comes with our one-year guarantee.
Is it messy?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we tidy up before we go.
What information do you need?
Only a few details: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. After that, simply phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
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. There’s a wide choice of exterior colours.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to the joints, so we’ll agree that with you when we book. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
How the visit works
We work through the job in order: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the building. Somewhere like East Wellow needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We start by walking round the building and agreeing the joints and the access.
- Every bit of old sealant and any mortar or debris is cut out.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Clear the area around the work

Why deal with it now?
It often makes sense to reseal all the failing joints on an elevation together. Joints of the same age tend to fail together. Around East Wellow, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask about the job first.
