External Mastic in Hurstbourne Priors
We cover Hurstbourne Priors for sealing brickwork movement joints, render, cladding and façade joints. Old sealant removed completely, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
- Weeds or debris growing in open joints
- Movement joints with cracked, split or missing sealant
- Movement joints filled with mortar instead of sealant
Keeping the joints in good condition
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Fix overflowing gutters above sealed joints
- Leave the joints unpainted unless we have said otherwise
- Avoid pressure-washing directly into sealant joints
- Keep movement joints as flexible joints, not mortar
Keep pressure washers away from the sealant. High-pressure water can lift the edges and let water in behind.
Small splits are the time to act. At that stage it’s a simple cut out and reseal.
About our external mastic in Hurstbourne Priors
As ARBOMaster approved applicators, we choose exterior sealants to suit the joint and the surfaces. Some surfaces need a primer before sealing. Common call-outs are for movement joints with cracked, split or missing sealant and weeds or debris growing in open joints, across concrete & block, brickwork movement joints and façade panels.
Somewhere as small as Hurstbourne Priors, homes and farm buildings often face open ground, so walls and rooflines take the full force of wind and rain. Gutter joints and wall joints there need a sealant that can flex and stay put.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

Your questions about external mastic in Hurstbourne Priors
Can you do external mastic in Hurstbourne Priors?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Hurstbourne Priors is part of that. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Is Hurstbourne Priors within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you seal joints where cladding meets other materials?
Yes. Joints between dissimilar materials are a big part of external work. We use a flexible sealant suited to both surfaces.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. Commercial and hotel work is a large part of what we do, as well as homes. We can talk about working times when we quote.
Does someone need to be in?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. Indoors, that generally means someone at home.
How long does the job take?
Most jobs take a few hours to a few days, depending on the length of joint and the access. We’ll confirm how long when we quote.
What should I tell you?
A short description and the location, plus pictures if you have them. If we need more, we’ll ask.
How often do external joints need resealing?
That depends on the wall, the weather and the movement. Signs to watch for are cracking, hardening and gaps at the edges.
What affects the quote in Hurstbourne Priors
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- Access and height
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Any working-time requirements on site
- How many areas need sealing
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You’ll know the price before we begin.
What we need to know
When you contact us, these details help:
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints.
When to call us in Hurstbourne Priors
UV, rain and frost all age exterior sealant. In time it goes hard, crazes on the surface and stops stretching, so the joint eventually tears or comes away from one side.
Look out for these signs:
- Damp patches traced to an open external joint
- Plants rooting in failed movement joints
- Joints pointed up with cement by mistake
- Joints with sealant missing in places
For landlords with property near Whitchurch (Hampshire) station, split movement joints are easy to miss on a rental until damp shows inside.

The process
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we’ll get on with it. The work itself takes a few hours to a few days, depending on the length of joint and the access, including the tidy-up. In a small place like Hurstbourne Priors, access is usually the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We inspect the joints and agree which need resealing and how they’ll be reached.
- We cut out the failed sealant and rake out any dirt or growth.
- The joint faces are cleaned and primed where the sealant needs it.
- Closed-cell backing rod is fitted to set the depth and stop three-sided bonding.
- The new sealant, chosen to suit the brick or render, is applied and tooled to a neat finish.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Move anything stored near the joints
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

Related advice
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
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.
Why act early in Hurstbourne Priors
It often makes sense to reseal all the failing joints on an elevation together. Joints of the same age tend to fail together and it means sorting access once. Around Hurstbourne Priors, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Doing several joints on one visit is normally more efficient than separate visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We will give you a clear quote for the lot.
Why book with us
- Domestic, commercial and hotel work
- Sealant colour chosen to suit
- Quality sealants from Arbo and Everbuild
- Fully insured

Hurstbourne Priors 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.
Schools such as Testbourne Community School are buildings too, and movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s. Homes close to Church of St Andrew include some older properties, and an extension built onto an older house moves differently, and the joint between them takes the strain.
