External mastic in Micheldever Station
Getting the depth right is half the job. Backing rod controls how deep the sealant goes and keeps it off the back of the joint, so it bonds to the two sides only and can stretch. Typical jobs include damp patches traced to an open external joint and plants rooting in failed movement joints, across façade panels, concrete & block and brickwork movement joints.
External sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work around Micheldever Station is planned for dry weather. Tell us about access to all sides of the building, including outbuildings and garages.
Every job comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Hampshire.

What we can’t put right
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- Walls that need new movement joints cut into them
- Cracks in the bricks or render themselves, away from the joints
- Movement that’s more than a sealant joint can take
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we seal
- Copings & trims
- Concrete & block
- Joints between brick and frames
- Render & cladding joints
- Façade panels
- Brickwork movement joints
Aftercare tips
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Leave the joints unpainted unless we have said otherwise
- Check external joints each spring
- Tell anyone working on the walls about the movement joints
- Make sure movement joints aren’t pointed over
Follow the cure time we give you before the joint is knocked or disturbed. The surface skins over quickly, but full cure takes longer.
Gaps, plants or missing sealant in a joint are worth getting looked at. Earlier resealing means a smaller job and a better result.
How the visit works
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and tidy away. It usually takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the building. For a village or hamlet like Micheldever Station, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. 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 will reach them.
- The old mastic and anything lodged in the joint is removed.
- The joint faces are cleaned and primed where the sealant needs it.
- Closed-cell backing rod is fitted to set the depth and stop three-sided bonding.
- The new sealant, chosen to suit the brick or render, is applied and tooled to a neat finish.
How to prepare
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

Why it’s worth doing now in Micheldever Station
Mortar or ordinary filler might look like a quick way to close an open joint, but it stops the joint moving. The movement then cracks the brickwork or render nearby. A flexible sealant over backing rod is what the joint needs. In a small place like Micheldever Station, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are unsure, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.

Common questions in Micheldever Station
Do you work for landlords with property near Overton station?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Do you cover smaller places like Micheldever Station?
Yes, Micheldever Station is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
What colours does the sealant come in?
There’s a good range of exterior colours, including greys, browns, whites and stone tones. We choose the closest to your brick or render so it does not stand out.
What is a movement joint?
A vertical gap in a long brick wall is usually a movement joint. It lets the bricks expand without cracking, and it should be sealed with a flexible sealant.
How do I get a quote for external mastic in Micheldever Station?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Ask us for a quote and we’ll talk you through it.
When will the joints need doing again?
That depends on the wall, the weather and the movement. Signs to watch for are cracking, hardening and gaps at the edges, and reseal at that point.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the product. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all, and any smell fades as they cure.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. We remove every bit of old sealant first.
How the job changes by surface
Copings and trims
Copings expand and contract through the day, so the joints need a sealant that stays flexible year round.
Cladding and façade panels
Where a cladding system has its own specified sealant, we follow it. Send us any details you have about the façade.
