External mastic in Norton: local notes
Norton is close to the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. Both are hard on movement joints and outside wall joints, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. 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.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Yarmouth Church of England Aided Primary School, movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s. In the older streets around St. James' Church, older walls, gutters and the joints where extensions meet them need a flexible sealant.

How we handle external mastic in Norton
Ground-floor and low-level joints are straightforward to reach. For joints higher up, give us some details of the building and we will confirm what’s needed to reach them safely. If you are dealing with joints with sealant missing in places and sealant pulling away from one side of the joint, we can put it right.
Older homes in small places like Norton may be stone, brick or timber-framed, often with later extensions. Where one material meets another is where water normally gets in, and they need the right sealant at the right depth.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please call 0345 464 0079 or email us.

For landlords and businesses
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. We can quote for more than one property at once.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
What happens if it’s left?
Resealing a run of joints in one go is normally better than patching one at a time. Joints of the same age tend to fail together, and access only has to be arranged once. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Norton, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
We do not show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote and we will talk you through it.

Your questions about external mastic in Norton
Do you work for landlords with property near Lymington Pier station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Is external mastic in a coastal place like Norton any different?
Near the coast, wind-driven rain and, nearer the shore, salt air make outside sealant work harder. Choosing the right sealant for the frame and wall, laid at the right depth, helps it last.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, every time. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Can I do it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Why do you put foam in the joint first?
Backing rod controls the sealant depth and keeps it off the back of the joint. That way it bonds to the two sides only and can stretch.
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.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we’re part of it.
Will it make a mess?
We keep the work tidy. Nearby surfaces are protected.
When to call us in Norton
Poor preparation causes many early failures: dusty or wet faces, no primer where one was needed, or old sealant left in. The sealant never bonds properly.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Movement joints with cracked, split or missing sealant
- Rain getting behind render or cladding at a joint
- Moss and dirt in joints with no sealant left
- Sealant that has lost its bond to the brick or render
Rented homes near Lymington Pier station change hands often, and split movement joints are easy to miss on a rental until damp shows inside.
What to look for in a quote
- How hidden problems are handled
- How the colour is chosen
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
What we do, step by step
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so there’s nothing for you to buy. After a quick look at the joints together, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours for a handful of joints, longer for a whole elevation. For a village or hamlet like Norton, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We look at every joint and agree a colour to suit the wall.
- Failed sealant is removed back to clean, sound faces.
- Backing rod goes in so the sealant can stretch between the two faces.
- Primer is applied wherever the sealant needs it.
- A low-modulus exterior sealant is gunned in and tooled to a neat finish.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Move anything stored near the joints

Honest limits
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Rising or penetrating damp from elsewhere in the wall
- Loose or hollow render, which needs re-rendering
- Cutting new joints into brickwork, which is building work rather than sealant work
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we seal
- Render & cladding joints
- Brickwork movement joints
- Façade panels
- Copings & trims
- Joints between brick and frames
- Concrete & block
Aftercare tips
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Keep soil, plants and ivy away from the joints
- Show decorators and builders where the movement joints are
- Have failed joints looked at early
- Check external joints each spring
If you have more work done on the wall, such as new render, cladding or an opening, show the contractor the movement joints. They should be kept open and resealed, not filled.
Leave a failed movement joint and water keeps getting into the wall. Over time it can mean damp inside, stained render or frost-damaged brick, all bigger jobs than a reseal.
How we quote for external mastic
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Which sealant suits the joint
- The amount of work
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are unsure, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.
What we need to know
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- Roughly how big the job is
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Where the property is
- Whether it has been sealed before
We don’t publish a price list. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To get started, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
