External mastic in Fawler: local notes
Historic houses like Blenheim Palace (about 4.4 miles east) are a reminder that the area around Fawler has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older walls and rooflines need a sealant that moves with them and suits the material. London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
Schools such as Finstock Church of England Primary School are buildings too, and its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s. If you let a flat or house near Finstock station, failed wall and movement joints let damp in, so they’re worth checking between tenancies.

About our external mastic in Fawler
As ARBOMaster approved applicators, we choose exterior sealants to suit the joint and the surfaces. Some surfaces need a primer before sealing, and we don’t skip that step. We work on copings & trims, brickwork movement joints and joints between brick and frames, and people most often call us about hard, crazed mastic that has stopped moving and plants rooting in failed movement joints.
Outside joints can only be sealed when they’re dry, so work in Fawler is booked around the forecast. Tell us about access to all sides of the building, including outbuildings and garages.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.

How we quote for external mastic
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether the work is at height
- Any mould that needs treating
- The type of sealant required
- The old material and how stubborn it is
The cost depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. You will have a clear quote before any work starts.
What we need to know
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Try to tell us:
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- The rough size of the job
- Whether it has been sealed before
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints.
How the visit works
At the end, we look at the finished work together and tell you how long to leave it. The visit itself normally takes a few hours to a few days, depending on the length of joint and the access, depending on the size of the job. Somewhere as small as Fawler, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We start by checking each joint, agreeing the ones to redo and how we’ll reach them.
- Old sealant and any debris are cut and raked out.
- Both sides are cleaned back to sound material and primed if needed.
- We push in closed-cell backing rod so the sealant is the right depth and bonds to the sides only.
- We gun in a flexible exterior sealant in a colour that suits the wall and tool it neatly.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

More services for Fawler
Do you need external mastic in Fawler?
Using the wrong sealant is another common reason. A high-modulus or general-purpose sealant can be too rigid for a busy joint, and it tears off the sides.
People generally contact us after spotting something like this:
- Movement joints with cracked, split or missing sealant
- Moss and dirt in joints with no sealant left
- Weathered mastic that no longer stretches
- Failed sealant between panels on a façade
If you live in an older home near Church of the Holy Trinity, older walls, gutters and the joints where extensions meet them need a flexible sealant.

Fawler questions
Is Fawler within the area you cover?
Yes, Fawler is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
I let a flat near Finstock station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. Commercial and hotel work is a large part of what we do, as well as homes. Working times can be discussed when we quote.
Can a movement joint be filled with mortar?
No, not where the gap is a movement joint. Filling it with mortar defeats its purpose. A flexible sealant is the right fill.
Are you insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work.
How long will you be here?
Most jobs take a few hours to a few days, depending on the length of joint and the access, including the preparation. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
Is it messy?
We keep the work tidy. We protect what’s around the joints, and the area is left clean when we finish.
Do I have to be there?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. Indoors, that normally means someone at home.
Different surfaces, different methods
Copings and trims
A failed coping joint lets water into the top of the wall. Sealing them early saves the wall below.
Cladding and façade panels
Cladding and façade panels are usually separated by sealed joints. We reseal them with a sealant suited to the panel material.
What happens if it’s left?
A failed movement joint lets water into the wall and can run behind render or cladding. Dealing with it early keeps the repair to the joint, instead of the wall and finishes around it. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Fawler, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
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 the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

How to look after the new joints
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Do not let climbing plants root in the sealant
- Walk round the building once a year and look at the joints
- Act on the first splits you see
- Wash walls gently around the sealant
If you have more work done on the wall, such as new render, cladding or an opening, show the contractor the movement joints. They must stay as flexible joints, never rendered or pointed over.
Leaks behind façade panels and render often go unseen. By the time there’s a damp patch, the damage can be well established, so it’s worth resealing at the first signs.
