Golden Pot External Mastic
Movement joints in Golden Pot need attention? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly, with a one-year guarantee.
- Old sealant gone brittle and cracked
- Brick movement joints where the sealant has split
- Joints where the bead has come unstuck
What we are called out for in Golden Pot
Every building moves. Brickwork grows a little over the years, blockwork and concrete shrink, and all of it moves with heat and moisture. All of that ends up in the joint sealant.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Joints with sealant missing in places
- Panel joints letting water in
- Plants rooting in failed movement joints
- Cracked joints where brick meets render or frames
For landlords with property near Alton station, split movement joints are easy to miss on a rental until damp shows inside.

External mastic for homes and businesses in Golden Pot
A movement joint is only as good as its depth. Closed-cell backing rod sets the depth and stops the sealant sticking to the back, leaving it bonded to two faces so it can move with the wall. If you are dealing with failed sealant between panels on a façade and movement joints filled with mortar instead of sealant, we can put it right.
Around Golden Pot, older buildings can be stone, brick or timber-framed, many with extensions added later. Where one material meets another is where water normally gets in, and they need the right sealant at the right depth.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

Can I do it myself?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Keeping the joints in good condition
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Act on the first splits you see
- Keep water from gutters off the wall
- Clear growth from the base of walls and joints
- Make sure movement joints are not pointed over
Have a quick look at the joints each spring. Watch for splits, edges coming away or growth in the joint.
An open movement joint lets rain into the wall every time it pours. Over time it can mean damp inside, stained render or frost-damaged brick, all bigger jobs than a reseal.
What we do, step by step
Once we’re on site, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. Most jobs then take a few hours for a handful of joints, longer for a whole elevation. Somewhere as small as Golden Pot, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We start by walking round the building and agreeing the joints and the access.
- We cut out the old mastic and rake out anything in the joint.
- The faces are brushed clean and primed where the product requires it.
- We fit closed-cell backing rod to control the depth.
- The exterior sealant is applied, tooled and checked along its length.

Walls and rooflines in Golden Pot
Historic houses like Hall Place (about 3.5 miles south-west) are a reminder that the area around Golden Pot 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. Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.

I let a flat near Alton station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before we start.
What should I tell you?
Just the basics: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. Then ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Where do you work from?
Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. We cover Golden Pot and the rest of Hampshire.
What sealant do you use?

Do I have to be there?
We need access to the joints, so we’ll agree that with you when we book. Indoors, that usually means someone at home.
How do you reach high-level joints?
It depends on the building. Tell us the height, the number of joints and what’s below them, and we’ll confirm what access is needed.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before resealing.

Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
What affects the quote in Golden Pot
There’s no set price list, because no two jobs are the same. The quote depends on:
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- The product the joint needs
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Working hours on commercial sites
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part.
