About our external mastic in Peel Common
A movement joint is only as good as its depth. Backing rod controls how deep the sealant goes and keeps it off the back of the joint, so it bonds to the two sides only and can stretch. We work on façade panels, brickwork movement joints and render & cladding joints, and common reasons people get in touch are moss and dirt in joints with no sealant left and weathered mastic that no longer stretches.
Older homes in small places like Peel Common may be stone, brick or timber-framed, often with later extensions. Where one material meets another is where water generally gets in, and they need the right sealant at the right depth.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right with it, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Different surfaces, different methods
Concrete and blockwork
Blockwork and concrete shrink over time and move with the seasons. We reseal their joints with backing rod and a flexible product.
Joints between dissimilar materials
Joints where frames, sills or panels meet the wall are common leak points. We cut out the old sealant and reseal with a product suited to both surfaces.
Common problems we fix in Peel Common
UV, rain and frost all age exterior sealant. Over the years it hardens, cracks on the surface and loses its give, so the next time the wall moves, it splits or pulls away.
The problems people normally mention when they call include:
- Moss and dirt in joints with no sealant left
- Leaking joints around cladding and façade panels
- Weathered mastic that no longer stretches
- Sealant pulling away from one side of the joint
If you let a flat or house near Fareham station, failed wall and movement joints let damp in, so they’re worth checking between tenancies.
What your quote should include
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- Which colour the sealant will be
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- How long the guarantee is
What happens on the day
There is not much for you to do on the day. Point us to the joints and we’ll get on with it. The job generally takes a few hours for a handful of joints, longer for a whole elevation. Somewhere as small as Peel Common, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First, the joints are inspected and the access agreed.
- 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.
- We fit closed-cell backing rod to control the depth.
- We apply the sealant, tool it and check the whole run.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Clear the area around the work

External mastic in Peel Common: local notes
Peel Common is within about 2 miles of the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. That is hard on movement joints and outside wall joints, especially on the side facing the sea. 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.
Schools such as Peel Common Junior School are buildings too, and movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s. If you live in an older home near Peel Common Mission Church, old and new materials meet at the roofline and walls, which is where sealant earns its keep.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Fix overflowing gutters above sealed joints
- Ask before painting over external sealant
- Avoid pressure-washing directly into sealant joints
- Keep soil, plants and ivy away from the joints
Keep the joints clear of soil, plants and climbing growth. Damp material against the sealant shortens its life.
Act while the splits are small. At that stage it’s a simple cut out and reseal before water has had years to get in.
DIY versus a professional finish
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again.
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.
What affects the cost of external mastic
There’s no set price list. The quote depends on:
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- When we can work, for business premises
- The number of rooms or windows
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re unsure, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.

Yes, Peel Common is covered. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Fareham station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Just the basics: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. After that, simply phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Can I do it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Should I point up the gap in my brickwork?
No, not where the gap is a movement joint. Pointing it stops it working, and the wall may crack nearby. We will reseal it with a flexible sealant.
