External mastic in Minley, done properly
A movement joint is a deliberate break that lets a wall expand and contract. Its sealant has to flex with the building, season after season, so once it splits or hardens, the joint stops working and water gets in. We work on copings & trims, brickwork movement joints and façade panels, and people most often call us about gaps where render, brick and frames meet and moss and dirt in joints with no sealant left.
Somewhere as small as Minley, homes and farm buildings often face open ground, where walls and rooflines take the weather head on. Joints on those walls need a sealant that moves with the building and stays in place.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

When it isn’t the sealant
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- Adding movement joints to masonry that has none
- Cracking across the wall rather than at a joint
- Damp from another source, such as a leaking gutter or a bridged damp-proof course
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on

Why it’s worth doing now in Minley
A low-modulus sealant is chosen because it moves without pulling hard at the edges. That protects surfaces like brick, render and concrete. Too stiff a sealant can pull at the edges and break them. In a small place like Minley, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You’ll know the price before we begin.

Questions from Minley
Do you cover smaller places like Minley?
Yes. Minley 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.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Fleet station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Where are you based?
We work from Crawley. We cover Minley and the rest of Hampshire, along with the rest of our area.
Are you insured?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured, with over 20 years’ experience in sealant work.
Do you use backing rod?
That is backing rod, a closed-cell foam. It stops the sealant going in too deep and bonding to three sides.
What does external mastic cost?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Call for a quick quote and we will talk you through it.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, wherever you are.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Doing several areas at once is usually more efficient, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
For landlords and businesses
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
Walls and rooflines in Minley
London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Frogmore Community College, movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s. Letting a property close to Fleet station? Then failed wall and movement joints let damp in, so they’re worth checking between tenancies. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Andrew, an extension built onto an older house moves differently, and the joint between them takes the strain.

Advice
Different surfaces, different methods
Brickwork movement joints
Brick walls have vertical movement joints to absorb expansion. They’re resealed over backing rod with a low-modulus sealant coloured to suit the wall.
Render joints
Render is weaker at the surface than brick, so a low-modulus sealant is kinder to the joint edges. We prime where the product needs it.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Don’t let climbing plants root in the sealant
- Fix overflowing gutters above sealed joints
- Keep high-pressure jets off the joints
- Act on the first splits you see
Give the sealant the cure time we tell you before anything rubs against it. The surface skins over quickly, but full cure takes longer.
Gaps, plants or missing sealant in a joint are worth getting looked at. Early work is quicker and leaves a better finish.
