What we’re called out for in Luccombe Village
Many joints fail because they were sealed too deep or with nothing behind them. Sealant bonded to three sides has nowhere to go and tears as soon as the joint widens.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Panel joints letting water in
- Old sealant gone brittle and cracked
- Gaps where render, brick and frames meet
- Joints with sealant missing in places
Letting a property close to Shanklin station? Then outside joints that have cracked can let damp into a rental, so check them between lets.

About our external mastic in Luccombe Village
Joints in render and cladding are easy to overlook until a damp patch appears. We look over the joints, agree the ones to renew and reseal with a flexible, weatherproof product in a colour to suit. We work on joints between brick and frames, copings & trims and façade panels, and people most often call us about joints with sealant missing in places and joints pointed up with cement by mistake.
In a village or hamlet like Luccombe Village, older cottages and farm buildings often stand in the open, where walls and rooflines take the weather head on. Gutter joints and wall joints there need a sealant that can flex and stay put.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. We can quote for more than one property at once.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Keep movement joints as flexible joints, not mortar
- Point out the joints to other trades
- Deal with leaking gutters that soak the joints below
- Avoid pressure-washing directly into sealant joints
Keep the joints clear of soil, plants and climbing growth. Anything that holds water against the joint wears it out sooner.
Act while the splits are small. At that stage it’s a simple cut out and reseal.
How the job changes by surface
Render joints
Rendered walls have joints at beads, openings and changes of material. We reseal them with a flexible exterior sealant that suits the render colour.
Concrete and blockwork
Concrete faces can be dusty and porous, so preparation is key. We prime where the sealant needs it before the bead.
Outside joints around Luccombe Village
Luccombe Village is close to the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. Both are hard on movement joints and outside wall joints, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. With historic houses such as Rylstone Manor (about 0.7 miles north) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Luccombe Village as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older walls and rooflines need a sealant that moves with them and suits the material.
Managing a site like St Blasius Shanklin CofE Primary Academy? Then its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s. For an older house near a landmark such as St Blasius Church, older walls, gutters and the joints where extensions meet them need a flexible sealant.

How it works
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building before we come, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the job takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the building for a typical job. Somewhere as small as Luccombe Village, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First we look over the joints with you, agree which to renew and talk through access.
- The old mastic and anything lodged in the joint is removed.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on

Related advice
Why deal with it now?
An open joint keeps letting water into the wall with every downpour. Wet masonry is more easily damaged by frost, so the damage spreads beyond the joint. Older cottages and farmhouses around Luccombe Village can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.

FAQs for Luccombe Village
Is Luccombe Village within the area you cover?
Yes. Luccombe Village 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.
Does living near the coast affect external mastic in Luccombe Village?
Coastal homes put outside sealant through more weather than inland ones, so preparation and the right sealant matter all the more. It’s worth checking the walls that face the sea first.
Is it OK to fill a movement joint with cement?
No. A mortar-filled joint can’t move, so the wall cracks somewhere else instead. Use a flexible sealant with backing rod.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Do you work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties at once, and between tenancies is a good time for the work.
Where do you work from?
Our base is Crawley, with over 20 years’ experience. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
What sealant do you use?
It depends on the joint: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Are you insured?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured.
