External mastic in Faberstown: local notes
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
If you live in an older home near Church of St Peter in the Wood, old and new materials meet at the roofline and walls, which is where sealant earns its keep. If you let a flat or house near Andover station, outside joints that have cracked can let damp into a rental, so check them between lets.
Faberstown is about 5 miles north-west of Andover, in Hampshire.

External mastic for homes and businesses in Faberstown
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 all tend to fail early. We strip the joint back and start again. We work on render & cladding joints, joints between brick and frames and façade panels, and the jobs we see most are rigid filler in a joint that should flex and cracked joints where brick meets render or frames.
External sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work around Faberstown is planned for dry weather. Let us know about access to every wall, plus any garages or outbuildings.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

Different surfaces, different methods
Concrete and blockwork
Big joints in concrete need careful depth control. Backing rod sized to the joint sets it.
Render joints
The face of render can be soft, so a sealant that stretches easily protects the edges. Priming is done where the sealant calls for it.
Honest limits
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Rising or penetrating damp from elsewhere in the wall
- Cracking across the wall rather than at a joint
- Subsidence or other structural problems
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think.

What we do, step by step
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and tell you how long to leave it. The visit itself generally takes a few hours for a handful of joints, longer for a whole elevation, depending on how much there is to do. Somewhere like Faberstown 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.
- First, the joints are inspected and the access agreed.
- 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.
- We fit closed-cell backing rod to control the depth.
- We apply the sealant, tool it and check the whole run.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

DIY versus a professional finish
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Aftercare tips
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
- Clear growth from the base of walls and joints
- Fix overflowing gutters above sealed joints
- Check the sealant is paintable before painting near it
Keep pressure washers away from the sealant. High-pressure water can lift the edges and let water in behind.
If you can see gaps, plants or bare sections in a joint, have it checked. Earlier resealing means a smaller job and a better result.
Why deal with it now?
A failed movement joint lets water into the wall. Resealing early keeps the job to the joint itself, rather than the wall around it. Around Faberstown, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed. Call for a quick quote and we will explain what it covers.

FAQs for Faberstown
Will you come out to Faberstown?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you work for landlords with property near Andover station?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear quote.
When will the joints need doing again?
That varies with the weather the wall faces, how much it moves and the sealant used. Sealant is a maintenance item, so check the joints once a year and renew it when it starts to fail.
Do I need to be at home?
It depends on the job. Inside work needs someone to give us access, and for outside work we will agree access with you when we book.
What is backing rod for?
Closed-cell backing rod sets the depth of the sealant and stops it sticking to the back of the joint. That way it bonds to the two sides only and can stretch.
What colours does the sealant come in?
There’s a good range of exterior colours, including greys, browns, whites and stone tones. We choose the closest to your brick or render.
What do you put in the joint?
It depends on the joint: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
What’s an expansion joint in brickwork?
Most straight vertical gaps in brickwork are movement joints. It lets the bricks expand without cracking, and it should be sealed with a flexible sealant.
