Walls and rooflines in Mount Pleasant
Mount Pleasant is close to the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. That’s hard on movement joints and outside wall joints, especially on the side facing the sea. Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
If you look after a building such as Priestlands School, larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing.

External mastic for homes and businesses in Mount Pleasant
A movement joint is only as good as its depth. Closed-cell backing rod sets the depth and stops the sealant sticking to the back, leaving it bonded to two faces so it can move with the wall. If you have cracked joints where brick meets render or frames and brick movement joints where the sealant has split, we can help, on copings & trims, brickwork movement joints and concrete & block alike.
In a village or hamlet like Mount Pleasant, older cottages and farm buildings often stand in the open, so walls and rooflines take the full force of wind and rain. Joints on those walls need a sealant that moves with the building and stays in place.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Hampshire.

How the visit works
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it normally takes a few hours to a few days, depending on the length of joint and the access. Somewhere like Mount Pleasant needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- Each joint is checked and the colour of the new sealant agreed.
- Failed sealant is removed back to clean, sound faces.
- Closed-cell backing rod is pushed in so the sealant bonds to two sides only.
- We prime the faces where required.
- We gun in low-modulus sealant and tool it neatly.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

Related advice
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.

How to look after the new joints
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Clear growth from the base of walls and joints
- Check external joints each spring
- Make sure movement joints are not pointed over
- Tell anyone working on the walls about the movement joints
Do not let soil, plants or ivy build up against the new joints. Damp material against the sealant shortens its life.
Leaks behind façade panels and render often go unseen. When it finally shows inside, the joint may have been open for years, so it’s worth resealing at the first signs.
Mount Pleasant: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Mount Pleasant?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Sway station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Do you use backing rod?
Backing rod goes into deeper joints as a matter of course. It controls the depth and stops the sealant bonding to the back, so the joint can move.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, we’re fully insured for domestic and commercial work.
Can I do it myself?
It depends on the job. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs.
What colours does the sealant come in?
We choose a sealant colour to suit the brick, stone or render. Exterior sealants come in a good range of colours.
What should I tell you?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. If you can, email a few photos.
How we quote for external mastic
Call for a quick quote. What matters most is:
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- How many areas need sealing
- The size of the job
- The product the joint needs
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You will know the price before we begin.
Asking for a quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Please mention:
- A few photos by email, if you can
- The type of property
- The rough size of the job
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and add pictures by email if you can.
What the job involves on each surface
Concrete and blockwork
Blockwork and concrete shrink over time and move with the seasons. Their movement joints are sealed over backing rod with a flexible sealant.
Copings and trims
Coping joints that leak let water straight down into the wall. Resealing them is a small job that protects a lot.
When to call us in Mount Pleasant
The wrong product in a moving joint is a classic cause. A high-modulus or general-purpose sealant can be too rigid for a busy joint, so it pulls away from the edges.
People usually contact us when they notice something like this:
- Gaps where render, brick and frames meet
- Water getting into walls through failed joints
- Joints where the bead has come unstuck
- Failed sealant between panels on a façade
Letting a property close to Sway station? Then failed wall and movement joints let damp in, so they’re worth checking between tenancies.
