Leave it or put it right?
A failed movement joint lets water into the wall, behind render and cladding. Dealing with it early keeps the repair to the joint, instead of the wall and finishes around it. Around Puckpool, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask about the job first and send you a clear quote before we start.

External mastic in Puckpool
On houses, flats and commercial buildings across Puckpool, we reseal joints in brickwork, render, cladding and façade panels. Every joint gets the same careful preparation: clean, sound faces and a controlled depth. We are often asked to deal with movement joints with cracked, split or missing sealant and sealant pulling away from one side of the joint, on joints between brick and frames, brickwork movement joints and façade panels.
Around Puckpool, older buildings can be stone, brick or timber-framed, many with extensions added later. The joints where those materials meet are the weak points.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

Common problems we fix in Puckpool
Sunlight, wet weather and frost wear exterior sealant down. In time it goes hard, crazes on the surface and stops stretching, so the joint eventually tears or comes away from one side.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Joints where the bead has come unstuck
- Old sealant gone brittle and cracked
- Damp patches traced to an open external joint
- Plants rooting in failed movement joints
Schools such as Oakfield Church of England Aided Primary School are buildings too, and larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing.

What affects the cost of external mastic
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- The number of rooms or windows
- Access and height
- Which sealant suits the joint
- When we can work, for business premises
The cost depends on the amount of work, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. We give a clear quote before work begins, so you know where you stand.
Helping us quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- The type of property
- How we’d reach the joints
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
We do not publish a price list, because every job is different. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To arrange one, call 0345 464 0079 or email us.

We also work for property managers and facilities teams. Several sites can be quoted together, and we are fully insured.
What we do, step by step
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first, so there are no surprises. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work starts. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the building. Somewhere like Puckpool needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- First, the joints are inspected and the access agreed.
- We cut out the old mastic and rake out anything in the joint.
- The faces are brushed clean and primed where the product requires 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
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Clear the area around the work

Questions from Puckpool
Do you cover smaller places like Puckpool?
Yes, Puckpool is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Ryde St Johns Road station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before we start.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old sealant, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. We remove it all first.
Does someone need to be in?
We need access to the joints, so we’ll agree that with you when we book. Indoors, that generally means someone at home.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Of course. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit.
When will the joints need doing again?
It varies with how exposed the wall is and how much the joint moves. Signs to watch for are cracking, hardening and gaps at the edges and have them redone then.
What do you need from me for a quote?
A short description and the location, with pictures by email if possible. If we need more, we’ll ask.
What external mastic looks like in Puckpool
Puckpool 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. With historic houses such as Nunwell House (about 3.1 miles south) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Puckpool as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older brick and stone need a sealant that suits them, at the right joint depth.
In the older streets around St John's Church, older walls, gutters and the joints where extensions meet them need a flexible sealant. If you let a flat or house near Ryde St Johns Road station, outside joints that have cracked can let damp into a rental, so check them between lets.

How to look after the new joints
Aftercare is simple:
- Look over the joints every year, ideally after winter
- Have failed joints looked at early
- Check the sealant is paintable before painting near it
- Show decorators and builders where the movement joints are
Have a quick look at the joints each spring. Watch for splits, edges coming away or growth in the joint.
Water getting behind cladding or render can go unnoticed for a long time. By the time there’s a damp patch, the damage can be well established.
What the job involves on each surface
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.
Copings and trims
Copings expand and contract through the day, so the joints need a sealant that stays flexible year round.
