How we handle external mastic in Lagness
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’s needed to reach them safely. If you’re dealing with hard, crazed mastic that has stopped moving and rigid filler in a joint that should flex, we can help, on render & cladding joints, brickwork movement joints and concrete & block alike.
External sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work around Lagness is planned for dry weather. Tell us about access to all sides of the building, including outbuildings and garages.

Walls and rooflines in Lagness
Lagness is within about 2 miles of the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. That is hard on movement joints and outside wall joints, especially on the side facing the sea. London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
Rented homes near Bognor Regis station change hands often, and split movement joints are easy to miss on a rental until damp shows inside. In the older streets around Church of St Giles, an extension built onto an older house moves differently, and the joint between them takes the strain.

How it works
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the building. Somewhere as small as Lagness, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on

- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

Related advice
Do you need external mastic in Lagness?
Many joints fail because they were sealed too deep or with nothing behind them. If the sealant sticks to the back as well as the sides, it cannot stretch and rips as the joint opens.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Failed sealant between panels on a façade
- Hard, crazed mastic that has stopped moving
- Joints with sealant missing in places
- Failed seals between different materials
If you look after a building such as Rose Green Junior School, larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing.

Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We’re ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Do the sealants smell?
Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes. There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, wherever you are.
Can you seal joints between render and window frames?
Yes. Where different materials meet is one of the most common joints we seal. We use a flexible sealant suited to both surfaces with primer where required.

Different surfaces, different methods
Cladding and façade panels
Panels heat up and cool down quickly, so the joint sealant has to cope with frequent movement. The sealant is chosen with that in mind.
Brickwork movement joints
Vertical joints in long brick walls let the brickwork expand without cracking. We reseal them with a low-modulus sealant over backing rod in a colour to suit the brick.
Why deal with it now?
The longer a joint stays open, the more water the wall takes in. In cold weather, frost can damage wet brick and render, so the problem grows beyond the joint itself. Around Lagness, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask a few questions first and send you a clear quote before work begins.

Aftercare tips
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Keep high-pressure jets off the joints
- Walk round the building once a year and look at the joints
- Show decorators and builders where the movement joints are
- Keep movement joints as flexible joints, not mortar
Don’t paint over the new sealant unless we have said the product is paintable. Many exterior sealants are not designed to be painted.
Gaps, plants or missing sealant in a joint are worth getting looked at. Earlier resealing means a smaller job and a better result.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders. Sealant work between tenants keeps a property looking cared for.
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report. We can quote for more than one property at once.
