External mastic in Norton Green
Where two different materials meet, such as brick and render or blockwork and metal, they move at different rates. A flexible sealant bridges the two where a rigid filler would soon crack. Common call-outs are for sealant pulling away from one side of the joint and damp patches traced to an open external joint, on copings & trims, façade panels and render & cladding joints.
Somewhere as small as Norton Green, 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.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, whatever its size.

How it works
There is not much for you to do on the day. Point us to the joints and we’ll get on with it. The work itself takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the building. Somewhere like Norton Green needs a little journey planning: 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 start by walking round the building and agreeing the joints and the access.
- We cut out the old mastic and rake out anything in the joint.
- Joint faces are cleaned back and primed if the sealant needs it.
- Backing rod sized to the joint goes in to set the depth.
- We apply the sealant, tool it and check the whole run.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

Related advice
Why deal with it now?
It often makes sense to reseal all the failing joints on an elevation together. Joints of the same age tend to fail together and it means sorting access once. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Norton Green, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part.

Questions from Norton Green
Is Norton Green within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our work covers 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 Lymington Pier station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear price.
How long should I leave it?
Cure times vary by product and the conditions. Before we leave, we’ll tell you the cure time.
How long will you be here?
That depends on how much there is to do, but as a guide it takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the building. We will give you a better idea when we quote.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. Hotels, offices and other businesses use us and we’re fully insured.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we are part of it.
What sealant do you use?
The product depends on the job: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Do I need to be at home?
That depends on where the joints are. Inside work needs someone to give us access, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
Looking after it afterwards
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Keep movement joints as flexible joints, not mortar
- Avoid pressure-washing directly into sealant joints
- Have failed joints looked at early
- Deal with leaking gutters that soak the joints below
Give the sealant the cure time we tell you before anything rubs against it. Most exterior sealants skin fast but take longer to cure right through.
Gaps, plants or missing sealant in a joint are worth getting looked at. Early work is quicker and leaves a better finish.

Do you need external mastic in Norton Green?
Many joints fail because they were sealed too deep or with nothing behind them. Sealant bonded to three sides has nowhere to go and rips as the joint opens.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Movement joints filled with mortar instead of sealant
- Sealant pulling away from one side of the joint
- Joints with sealant missing in places
- Old sealant gone brittle and cracked
If you look after a building such as All Saints Church of England Primary School, larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing.

- Is VAT in the price?

- Whether you can choose the colour
What we cannot put right
In fairness, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- Rising or penetrating damp from elsewhere in the wall
- Cracking across the wall rather than at a joint
- Loose or hollow render, which needs re-rendering
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Walls and rooflines in Norton Green
Norton Green is within about 1 mile of the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. Both are hard on movement joints and outside wall joints, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
Rented homes near Lymington Pier station change hands often, and split movement joints are easy to miss on a rental until damp shows inside. In the older streets around All Saints' Church, an extension built onto an older house moves differently, and the joint between them takes the strain.
