About our external mastic in Normandy
Joints in render and cladding are easy to overlook until a damp patch appears. We inspect them, agree which need doing and reseal with a weatherproof, flexible sealant in a matching colour. We’re often asked to deal with hard, crazed mastic that has stopped moving and damp patches traced to an open external joint, on render & cladding joints, copings & trims and brickwork movement joints.
External sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work around Normandy is planned for dry weather. Let us know about access to every wall, plus any garages or outbuildings.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, large or small.

Aftercare tips
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Make sure movement joints are not pointed over
- Tell anyone working on the walls about the movement joints
- Check the sealant is paintable before painting near it
- Don’t let climbing plants root in the sealant
Only paint over the joint if we’ve confirmed the sealant can take paint. Many exterior sealants aren’t designed to be painted and spoil the finish.
A joint that has stopped moving pushes the movement elsewhere, often as cracks near the joint. Resealing it early helps prevent that.
Walls and rooflines in Normandy
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind. Historic houses like Wanborough Manor (about 1.6 miles south) are a reminder that the area around Normandy has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older walls and rooflines need a sealant that moves with them and suits the material.
If you let a flat or house near Wanborough station, outside joints that have cracked can let damp into a rental, so check them between lets. Homes close to Church of St Mark include some older properties, and an extension built onto an older house moves differently, and the joint between them takes the strain.
Normandy is about 4 miles east of Aldershot, in Surrey. From the centre of Normandy to the outskirts, we cover external mastic for every kind of property. Normandy is one of 395 places in Surrey where we work for external mastic. There’s also a page for Reading, roughly 19 miles from Normandy.
Postcode districts we cover here for external mastic: GU3. We cover properties on Manor Farm Close, Guildford Road and Milton Close. If you’re just outside Normandy, we cover Willey Green (1 mile east), Flexford (1 mile south), Christmas Pie (1 mile south), Wyke (1 mile west) and Wanborough (2 miles south). Further out, we also cover Guildford (4 miles east), Woking (6 miles north-east), Camberley (6 miles north-west), Farnham (6 miles south-west), Egham (13 miles north-east) and Walton-on-Thames (14 miles north-east).
Landmarks near Normandy
We work in homes and buildings around Duke of Normandy pub. Normandy’s nearest station is Wanborough station, roughly 0.7 miles south. Nearby you’ll also find Ash Museum (2.1 miles west) and Guildford Hospital (2.6 miles east). For a walk, there’s Hog's Back and Ash Ranges.
When something else is needed
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Cracks in the bricks or render themselves, away from the joints
- Adding movement joints to masonry that has none
- Damp that isn’t coming from the joint
If you are not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Surfaces we seal
- Concrete & block
- Brickwork movement joints
- Façade panels
- Copings & trims
- Joints between brick and frames
- Render & cladding joints
Signs you need external mastic in Normandy
Sometimes a movement joint was filled with mortar or a rigid filler. With the joint locked solid, the movement turns into cracks elsewhere in the wall.
The problems people normally mention when they call are:
- Weeds or debris growing in open joints
- Panel joints letting water in
- Weathered mastic that no longer stretches
- Joints with sealant missing in places
If you look after a building such as Wyke Primary School, larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing.

Also in Normandy
Leave it or put it right?
A failed movement joint lets water into the wall. Dealing with it early keeps the repair to the joint, rather than the wall around it. Around Normandy, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
The cost depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before work begins.

What the job involves on each surface
Brickwork movement joints
Clay brickwork grows slightly over its life and moves with the weather. That movement goes into the joint, so the sealant in it must stay soft and stretchy.
Cladding and façade panels
Panels heat up and cool down quickly, so the joints work hard every day. We choose the product to suit.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Tell us the address, the job and how access works and we’ll quote.
Common questions in Normandy
Will you come out to Normandy?
Yes, Normandy is covered. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you work for landlords with property near Wanborough station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we’re part of it.
Does someone need to be in?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
How do I get a quote for external mastic in Normandy?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Call for a quick quote and we will talk you through it.
Can you seal joints between render and window frames?
Yes. Joints between dissimilar materials are a big part of external work. We use a flexible sealant suited to both surfaces with primer where required.
How often do external joints need resealing?
It varies with how exposed the wall is and how much the joint moves. Look for splits, hardening or edges coming away and have them redone then.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, we can. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
What happens on the day
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the job takes a few hours to a few days, depending on the length of joint and the access in most cases. For a village or hamlet like Normandy, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- 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.
- We prime the faces where required.
- We gun in low-modulus sealant and tool it neatly.
Preparing for the visit
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
