Leave it or put it right?
The longer a joint stays open, the more water the wall takes in. In cold weather, frost can damage wet brick and render around the joint, so the problem grows beyond the joint itself. Around Pamber Green, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs, plus any working-time requirements on site. Call for a quick quote and we’ll explain what it covers.

External mastic for homes and businesses in Pamber Green
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 colour to suit. If you have joints with sealant missing in places and panel joints letting water in, we can help, on copings & trims, concrete & block and brickwork movement joints alike.
Somewhere as small as Pamber 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.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee.

When something else is needed
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Movement that is more than a sealant joint can take
- Adding movement joints to masonry that has none
- Cracking across the wall rather than at a joint

Can you do external mastic in Pamber Green?
Yes, Pamber Green is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Do you work for landlords with property near Bramley (Hants) station?

Can new sealant go over the old?
No, and we never do. It may look fine at first, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. The old sealant has to come out completely.
How long does external mastic last?
It varies from wall to wall: joints on exposed walls or with a lot of movement age sooner. A yearly look will tell you when they need doing. Every job carries our 12-month guarantee.
Can you reach joints on upper floors?
It depends on the height and the site. Ground-floor joints are simple; for higher work, tell us about the building and we will confirm what’s needed.
Can I do it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. 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 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.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, every time. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
External mastic in Pamber Green: local notes
Historic houses like The Vyne (about 2.2 miles south-east) are a reminder that the area around Pamber Green 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. 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 let a flat or house near Bramley (Hants) station, split movement joints are easy to miss on a rental until damp shows inside. For an older house near a landmark such as Saint Stephen's Church, the joints between older walls, newer extensions and the roofline need a sealant that can move. Managing a site like Tadley Community Primary School? Then its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s.

What happens on the day
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. Most jobs take a few hours for a handful of joints, longer for a whole elevation. In a small place like Pamber Green, access is usually the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First we look over the joints with you, agree which to renew and talk through access.
- Old sealant and any debris are cut and raked out.
- Both sides are cleaned back to sound material and primed if needed.
- We push in closed-cell backing rod so the sealant is the right depth and bonds to the sides only.
- We gun in a flexible exterior sealant in a colour that suits the wall and tool it neatly.
How to prepare
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice
Aftercare tips
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Show decorators and builders where the movement joints are
- Wash walls gently around the sealant
- Walk round the building once a year and look at the joints
- Fix overflowing gutters above sealed joints
Don’t paint over the new sealant unless we’ve said the product is paintable. Many exterior sealants are not designed to be painted, and paint can crack as the joint moves.
A joint that has stopped moving pushes the movement elsewhere, generally as cracking in the brickwork or render nearby. Resealing it early helps prevent that.
How the job changes by surface
Joints between dissimilar materials
Wherever two materials meet, they move differently. A flexible sealant bridges the two so neither cracks the other.
Cladding and façade panels
Metal and composite panels move a lot with temperature, so the joints work hard every day. We choose the product to suit.
How we quote for external mastic
There’s no set price list, because jobs vary so much. The quote depends on:
- How easy the joints are to reach
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Working hours on commercial sites
- How many areas need sealing
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
Asking for a quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Try to tell us:
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- If someone has resealed it before
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Where the property is
For external mastic in Pamber Green, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email. Tell us what the problem is and where, and we will agree the price before any work begins.
