External & façade joints in Easton, Hampshire
Movement joints in Easton need attention? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
- Hard, crazed mastic that has stopped moving
- Sealant that has lost its bond to the brick or render
- Joints pointed up with cement by mistake
External mastic for homes and businesses in Easton
Low-level joints can usually be done from the ground. Where joints are higher up, tell us about the building when you get in touch and we will confirm what access is needed. If you have damp patches traced to an open external joint and plants rooting in failed movement joints, we can help, whatever the surface.
In a village or hamlet like Easton, older cottages and farm buildings often stand in the open, so walls and rooflines take the full force of wind and rain. Joints on those walls need a sealant that moves with the building and stays in place.
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.

What we can’t put right
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we will tell you before work begins. It won’t solve:
- Cutting new joints into brickwork, which is building work rather than sealant work
- Rising or penetrating damp from elsewhere in the wall
- Cracking across the wall rather than at a joint
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

What else we do in Easton
What affects the cost of external mastic
There’s no set price list, because no two jobs are the same. The quote depends on:
- The amount of work
- Working hours on commercial sites
- Any mould that needs treating
- How many areas need sealing
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we ask about the job first and give you a clear price before work begins.
What we need to know
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- The rough size of the job
- The type of property
- How we’d reach the joints
- A few pictures by email, if you can
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or send an email if you’d rather. Describe what needs sealing and we will explain what’s involved before giving you a price.
Different surfaces, different methods
Brickwork movement joints
People sometimes point up a brick movement joint by mistake. Where one has been mortared, we cut it out and reseal it with sealant where it can be done safely.
Joints between dissimilar materials
Different materials may need different primers. Both surfaces are cleaned and primed as the product requires.
Can I do it myself?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Have failed joints looked at early
- Deal with leaking gutters that soak the joints below
- Never let anyone fill a movement joint with mortar
- Avoid pressure-washing directly into sealant joints
Keep pressure washers away from the sealant. High-pressure water can lift the edges and let water in behind.
Act while the splits are small. At that stage it’s a simple cut out and reseal.
Do you need external mastic in Easton?
UV, rain and frost all age exterior sealant. Over the years it hardens, cracks on the surface and loses its give, so the joint eventually tears or comes away from one side.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Cracked joints where brick meets render or frames
- Leaking joints around cladding and façade panels
- Weeds or debris growing in open joints
- Water getting into walls through failed joints
If you let a flat or house near Winchester station, failed wall and movement joints let damp in, so they’re worth checking between tenancies.

The process
You do not need to clear the whole room or building before we come, just the space around the work. Everything nearby is protected, and the job takes a few hours for a handful of joints, longer for a whole elevation for a typical job. In a small place like Easton, access is generally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We look at every joint and agree a colour to suit the wall.
- Failed sealant is removed back to clean, sound faces.
- Closed-cell backing rod is pushed in so the sealant bonds to two sides only.
- Primer is applied wherever the sealant needs it.
- We gun in low-modulus sealant and tool it neatly.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

Advice
Questions from Easton
Do you cover smaller places like Easton?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Winchester 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 we start.
Why do you put foam in the joint first?
That’s backing rod, a closed-cell foam. It stops the sealant going in too deep and bonding to three sides so it can flex with the joint.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before applying anything new.
Where are you based?
We work from Crawley. We cover Easton and the rest of Hampshire, along with the rest of our area.
Are you insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Of course. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. Hotels, offices and other businesses use us.
Easton buildings and the weather
Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
In the older streets around Church of St Mary, the joints between older walls, newer extensions and the roofline need a sealant that can move. If you look after a building such as Peter Symonds College, larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing.
