Your questions about external mastic in Ibsley
Do you cover Ibsley for external mastic?
Yes, Ibsley is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing.
Do you cover smaller places like Ibsley?
Yes. Ibsley is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
How long does the job take?
Most jobs take a few hours for a handful of joints, longer for a whole elevation, including preparation and clearing up. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, it will not last. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new bead soon lifts. The old sealant has to come out completely.
Where are you based?
We work from Crawley. Our applicators cover Ibsley.
What is backing rod for?
We fit closed-cell backing rod wherever the joint depth needs controlling. It controls the depth and stops the sealant bonding to the back, so the joint can move.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done and you will get one quote.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We’re an ARBOMaster approved applicator, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.
External mastic in Ibsley, done properly
Ground-floor and low-level joints are straightforward to reach. For joints higher up, give us some details of the building and we will confirm what access is needed. If you are dealing with brick movement joints where the sealant has split and water getting into walls through failed joints, we can put it right, on copings & trims, joints between brick and frames and concrete & block alike.
Somewhere as small as Ibsley, 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 guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

External mastic in Ibsley: local notes
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
If you live in an older home near Church of St Martins, an extension built onto an older house moves differently, and the joint between them takes the strain. In and around Ibsley, as anywhere, good external mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Should I try it myself first?
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again.
Aftercare tips
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Look over the joints every year, ideally after winter
- Act on the first splits you see
- Fix overflowing gutters above sealed joints
- Show decorators and builders where the movement joints are
Keep pressure washers away from the sealant. High-pressure water can lift the edges and let water in behind.
Gaps, plants or missing sealant in a joint are worth getting looked at. Early work is quicker and leaves a better finish.
Why it’s worth doing now in Ibsley
A failed movement joint lets water into the wall, behind render and cladding. Dealing with it early keeps the repair to the joint, instead of the wall and finishes around it. Older cottages and farmhouses around Ibsley can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Hotels need rooms back in use, so the work can be planned room by room around your bookings where we can. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy. Several properties can be quoted together.
What we do, step by step
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we don’t rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours for a handful of joints, longer for a whole elevation. For a village or hamlet like Ibsley, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- Each joint is checked and the colour of the new sealant agreed.
- We take out the old sealant until the faces are sound.
- Backing rod goes in so the sealant can stretch between the two faces.
- We prime the faces where required.
- We gun in low-modulus sealant and tool it neatly.
Preparing for the visit
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

What affects the cost of external mastic
The price is agreed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- How easy the joints are to reach
- The amount of work
- Any mould that needs treating
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, plus any working-time requirements on site. Call for a quick quote and we’ll go through it with you.
Asking for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- The problem you’ve noticed
- How we’d reach the joints
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- The address or postcode of the job
For a quote, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us where the job is and what the problem looks like. We’ll give you a clear price before any work starts.
Honest limits
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Damp that isn’t coming from the joint
- Cutting new joints into brickwork, which is building work rather than sealant work
- Cracked brickwork or render that needs a builder or plasterer
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.
