Lord's Wood questions
Do you work for landlords with property near Eastleigh station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before we start.
Can you do external mastic in Lord's Wood?
Yes, Lord's Wood is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and let us know what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes. Each job is guaranteed for twelve months.
Can a movement joint be filled with mortar?
No. Mortar locks the joint solid, so the movement cracks the wall elsewhere. Use a flexible sealant with backing rod.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we are part of it.
Will it make a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. Nearby surfaces are protected.
Why do you put foam in the joint first?
We fit closed-cell backing rod wherever the joint depth needs controlling. It sets the sealant depth and prevents three-sided bonding so the bead can stretch.
When will the joints need doing again?
It depends on the exposure, the movement and the product. Sealant is a maintenance item, so check the joints once a year and renew it when it starts to fail.
About our external mastic in Lord's Wood
We cut out failed sealant, set the joint depth with closed-cell backing rod and reseal with a low-modulus exterior sealant. The colour is chosen to suit the brick or render so the line blends in. We work on render & cladding joints, copings & trims and façade panels, and people most often call us about failed seals between different materials and hard, crazed mastic that has stopped moving.
Outside joints can only be sealed when they’re dry, so work in Lord's Wood is booked around the forecast. Let us know about access to every wall, plus any garages or outbuildings.
Our work is backed for twelve months.

What happens on the day
Our applicators work methodically: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. Typically it takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the building, and the area is left clean. For a village or hamlet like Lord's Wood, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We start by checking each joint, agreeing the ones to redo and how we’ll reach them.
- Old sealant and any debris are cut and raked out.
- We clean both faces of the joint and prime them where the product calls for it.
- Backing rod goes in next, setting the depth and keeping the sealant off the back of the joint.
- The new sealant, chosen to suit the brick or render, is applied and tooled to a neat finish.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Landlords and letting agents in Lord's Wood can book us as well as householders. Sealant work between tenants is a simple way to keep a property in good order.
From a single let to a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.
Why deal with it now?
Resealing a run of joints in one go is usually better than patching one at a time. They’ve weathered the same way and it means sorting access once. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Lord's Wood, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you an honest view and a quote.
What you get with us
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over
- Tidy, careful work
- Approved under the ARBOMaster scheme
- Trusted Arbo and Everbuild sealants

Surface by surface
Render joints
Render is weaker at the surface than brick, so a low-modulus sealant is kinder to the joint edges. Priming is done where the sealant calls for it.
Cladding and façade panels
Cladding and façade panels are generally separated by sealed joints. Each joint gets a sealant that suits the panel and its movement.
Looking after it afterwards
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Clear growth from the base of walls and joints
- Check the sealant is paintable before painting near it
- Show decorators and builders where the movement joints are
- Never let anyone fill a movement joint with mortar
Avoid pressure-washing straight into the joints. High-pressure water can lift the edges over time.
Gaps, plants or missing sealant in a joint are worth getting looked at. Earlier resealing means a smaller job and a better result.

Outside joints around Lord's Wood
With historic houses such as South Stoneham House (about 4.1 miles south-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Lord's Wood as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older walls and rooflines need a sealant that moves with them and suits the material. 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.
In the older streets around St Mary's Church, old and new materials meet at the roofline and walls, which is where sealant earns its keep. Managing a site like Colden Common Primary School? Then movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s. Rented homes near Eastleigh station change hands often, and split movement joints are easy to miss on a rental until damp shows inside.
