External mastic in Meonstoke
Failed sealant is cut out, the depth set with closed-cell backing rod, and the joint resealed with a low-modulus sealant made for outside. The colour is chosen to suit the brick or render so the line blends in. Common call-outs are for damp patches traced to an open external joint and sealant pulling away from one side of the joint, across concrete & block, façade panels and joints between brick and frames.
Older homes in small places like Meonstoke may be stone, brick or timber-framed, often with later extensions. Where one material meets another is where water usually gets in.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee.

Meonstoke: your questions answered
What guarantee comes with external mastic in Meonstoke?
All our work, in Meonstoke and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Is Meonstoke in your area for external mastic?
Yes, Meonstoke is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes, regularly. We can plan bigger jobs in stages.
Will the new joint stand out?
We choose a sealant colour to suit the brick, stone or render. There’s a wide choice of exterior colours.
Why is there a gap in my brick wall?
Most straight vertical gaps in brickwork are movement joints. It gives the wall room to move and needs a flexible seal, not mortar.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.
Can you seal joints between render and window frames?
Yes. Joints between dissimilar materials are a big part of external work. The sealant is chosen to bond to both sides.
What sealant do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, picked for each joint. We explain the product when we quote.
What we do, step by step
There is not much for you to do on the day. Point us to the joints and we’ll get on with it. The work itself takes a few hours for a handful of joints, longer for a whole elevation. In a small place like Meonstoke, access is normally the main thing to plan. 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.
- Primer is applied wherever the sealant needs it.
- We gun in low-modulus sealant and tool it neatly.
How to prepare
- Mention any tricky access
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

Advice
What sealant work cannot fix
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant will not put right:
- Rising or penetrating damp from elsewhere in the wall
- Render that’s blown, hollow or coming away
- Structural movement, which needs a surveyor or engineer
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Joints between brick and frames
- Copings & trims
- Brickwork movement joints
- Render & cladding joints
- Façade panels
- Concrete & block
Aftercare tips
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Fix overflowing gutters above sealed joints
- Leave the joints unpainted unless we’ve said otherwise
- Act on the first splits you see
- Don’t let climbing plants root in the sealant
Make sure anyone working on the wall later knows where the movement joints are. They must stay as flexible joints, never rendered or pointed over.
Small splits are the time to act. Then it’s a straightforward cut-out and reseal with no damage behind it to deal with.

We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners. Sealant work between tenants keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.
Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too. Several sites can go on one quote, and we are fully insured.
Surface by surface
Cladding and façade panels
Where a cladding system has its own specified sealant, we follow it, or one the system allows. Send us any details you have about the façade.
Brickwork movement joints
Brick moves with heat and moisture, and grows a little over time. The movement joint takes that up, so its sealant has to stay flexible.
Outside joints around Meonstoke
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast. With historic houses such as Hinton Ampner House (about 4.8 miles north) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Meonstoke as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older brick and stone need a sealant that suits them, at the right joint depth.
Schools such as Meonstoke Church of England Infant School are buildings too, and larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing. Homes close to Church of St Andrew include some older properties, and an extension built onto an older house moves differently, and the joint between them takes the strain.

DIY versus a professional finish
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
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, then guaranteed for a year.
