How we handle external mastic in Fishbourne
External mastic is a job where short cuts show quickly. Overfilled joints, missing backing rod and sealant laid over old sealant all tend to fail early. We strip the joint back and start again. If you’re dealing with leaking joints around cladding and façade panels and moss and dirt in joints with no sealant left, we can put it right.
External sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work around Fishbourne is planned for dry weather. Let us know about access to every wall, plus any garages or outbuildings.
Our work is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

What we are called out for in Fishbourne
If plants are growing out of a joint, the sealant has generally failed or was never there. Roots and dirt hold water against the wall and make things worse.
People usually contact us after spotting something like this:
- Failed seals between different materials
- Panel joints letting water in
- Water getting into walls through failed joints
- Sealant pulling away from one side of the joint
Rented homes near Ryde Esplanade station change hands often, and outside joints that have cracked can let damp into a rental, so check them between lets.

Common questions in Fishbourne
I let a flat near Ryde Esplanade station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
Will you come out to Fishbourne?
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.
Do I need to be at home?
That depends on where the joints are. Inside work needs someone to give us access, and for outside work we will agree access with you when we book.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, every time. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Where are you based?
We work from Crawley. We cover Fishbourne and the rest of the Isle of Wight.
How long does external mastic last?
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.
Should I point up the gap in my brickwork?
No. Rigid materials cannot move with the wall, so the joint stops doing its job. Where a joint has been mortared, it can often be raked out and sealed properly.
How long does the job take?
It depends on the size of the job, but most jobs take a few hours to a few days, depending on the length of joint and the access. We’ll give you a better idea when we quote.
External mastic in Fishbourne: local notes
Fishbourne is within about 2 miles of the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. That’s hard on movement joints and outside wall joints, especially on the side facing the sea. Historic houses like Osborne House (about 2.8 miles north-west) are a reminder that the area around Fishbourne has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older walls and rooflines need a sealant that moves with them and suits the material.
In the older streets around St. Edmund's Church, old and new materials meet at the roofline and walls, which is where sealant earns its keep. Managing a site like Wootton Community Primary School? Then movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s.

Around Fishbourne
In Fishbourne, that means homes and buildings near Ryde Academy and The Fishbourne pub. Fishbourne’s nearest station is Ryde Esplanade station, about 2.5 miles east of the centre. Well-known places in the area include St Mary's Hospital (3.9 miles west) and East Cowes Castle (3.8 miles north-west). For a walk, there’s Mill Hill and Briddlesford Nature Reserve.
Should I try it myself first?
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into 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.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.

Letting agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we will quote.

How it works
There’s no need to move everything out, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the building in most cases. In a small place like Fishbourne, access is normally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We look at every joint and agree a colour to suit the wall.
- We take out the old sealant until the faces are sound.
- Closed-cell backing rod is pushed in so the sealant bonds to two sides only.
- We prime the faces where required.
- A low-modulus exterior sealant is gunned in and tooled to a neat finish.
How to prepare
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Clear the area around the work
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

Related advice
What happens if it’s left?
Low-modulus sealants stretch easily, so they put less strain on the joint edges. That protects surfaces like brick, render and concrete. Too stiff a sealant can pull at the edges and break them. In a small place like Fishbourne, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part.
