Laverstoke External Mastic
Problem with your movement joints in Laverstoke? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
- Moss and dirt in joints with no sealant left
- Sealant that has lost its bond to the brick or render
- Rigid filler in a joint that should flex
External mastic for homes and businesses in Laverstoke
Short cuts in external joints show up within a season or two. New sealant over old, joints packed with mortar and beads with no backing rarely last long. We strip the joint back and start again. We work on façade panels, concrete & block and brickwork movement joints, and people most often call us about leaking joints around cladding and façade panels and joints with sealant missing in places.
In a village or hamlet like Laverstoke, older cottages and farm buildings often stand in the open, 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.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Looking after it afterwards
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Look over the joints every year, ideally after winter
- Leave the joints unpainted unless we’ve said otherwise
- Keep soil, plants and ivy away from the joints
- Deal with leaking gutters that soak the joints below
Give the sealant the cure time we tell you before anything rubs against it. The surface skins over quickly, but full cure takes longer.
Water getting behind cladding or render can go unnoticed for a long time. By the time there’s a damp patch, the damage can be well established.
Why it’s worth doing now in Laverstoke
Resealing a run of joints in one go is usually better than patching one at a time. Joints of the same age tend to fail together. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Laverstoke, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
We do not show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll talk you through it.

How the job changes by surface
Brickwork movement joints
People sometimes point up a brick movement joint by mistake. Where one has been mortared, we cut it out and reseal it with sealant where it can be done safely.
Copings and trims
Metal and stone copings both move with temperature, so a flexible sealant suits them best year round.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Laverstoke
Letting agents and landlords in Laverstoke can book us as well as homeowners. Sealant work between tenants keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.

Outside joints around Laverstoke
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
For an older house near a landmark such as St Nicholas' Church, an extension built onto an older house moves differently, and the joint between them takes the strain. Rented homes near Whitchurch (Hampshire) station change hands often, and outside joints that have cracked can let damp into a rental, so check them between lets.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you are 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.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
FAQs for Laverstoke
Do you cover Laverstoke for external mastic?
Yes, Laverstoke is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Whitchurch (Hampshire) station?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as householders. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Should I try DIY first?
You can, for simple jobs. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Can you seal joints between two different materials?
Yes. Joints between dissimilar materials are a big part of external work. The sealant is chosen to bond to both sides with primer where required.
Will it make a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. Nearby surfaces are protected, and the area is left clean when we finish.
What do you put in the joint?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we will tell you what we’re using.
When will the joints need doing again?
It varies from wall to wall: joints on exposed walls or with a lot of movement age sooner. A yearly look will tell you when they need doing. Every job carries our 12-month guarantee.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, always. There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.
How the visit works
All our tools and materials come with us in the van. Once we have agreed what’s being done, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours for a handful of joints, longer for a whole elevation. Somewhere as small as Laverstoke, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We start by checking each joint, agreeing the ones to redo and how we will reach them.
- Old sealant and any debris are cut and raked out.
- Both sides are cleaned back to sound material and primed if needed.
- Backing rod goes in next, setting the depth and keeping the sealant off the back of the joint.
- A flexible exterior sealant is applied and tooled in a colour to suit the wall.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear the area around the work
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
Ask for a quote
Getting a quote is simple: let us know the job and the location, and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help us understand the job, and we will take it from there.
Advice
When to call us in Laverstoke
Every building moves. Clay bricks expand slightly over their life, concrete and block shrink, and everything moves with temperature and wet. The sealant in the movement joints takes that strain.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Failed sealant between panels on a façade
- Gaps where render, brick and frames meet
- Plants rooting in failed movement joints
- Joints where the bead has come unstuck
Schools such as Testbourne Community School are buildings too, and larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing.
