About our external mastic in Milland
A movement joint is only as good as its depth. Backing rod controls how deep the sealant goes and keeps it off the back of the joint, leaving it bonded to two faces so it can move with the wall. If you are dealing with failed sealant between panels on a façade and brick movement joints where the sealant has split, we can put it right.
Older homes in small places like Milland may be stone, brick or timber-framed, often with later extensions. The joints where those materials meet are the weak points.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same 12-month guarantee.

Honest limits
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’ll tell you before work begins. It won’t solve:
- Damp that is not coming from the joint
- Structural movement, which needs a surveyor or engineer
- Loose or hollow render, which needs re-rendering
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will say what we think.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Milland buildings and the weather
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day. With historic houses such as Cowdray House (about 4.7 miles south-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Milland as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older brick and stone need a sealant that suits them, at the right joint depth.
In the older streets around Tuxlith Chapel, older walls, gutters and the joints where extensions meet them need a flexible sealant. If you look after a building such as Hollycombe Primary School, larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing. For landlords with property near Liphook station, split movement joints are easy to miss on a rental until damp shows inside.

Advice
Different surfaces, different methods
Brickwork movement joints
Clay brickwork grows slightly over its life and moves with the weather. The movement joint takes that up, so the sealant in it must stay soft and stretchy.
Copings and trims
Joints in copings, parapets and trims are exposed to the worst of the weather. Each is resealed with a weatherproof, flexible sealant.
Keeping the joints in good condition
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Show decorators and builders where the movement joints are
- Don’t let climbing plants root in the sealant
- Deal with leaking gutters that soak the joints below
- Have failed joints looked at early
Avoid pressure-washing straight into the joints. A strong jet can damage the edges of the bead and let water in behind.
If you can see gaps, plants or bare sections in a joint, have it checked. Earlier resealing means a smaller job and a better result.
Why it’s worth doing now in Milland
Sealing over the top of old mastic does not hold for long. The new layer can’t bond properly to old, weathered material, so we always take the old sealant out. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Milland, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
What it costs depends on how much there is to do, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. You will have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
