External mastic in Red Post Bridge: local notes
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
For landlords with property near Andover station, failed wall and movement joints let damp in, so they’re worth checking between tenancies. If you live in an older home near Church of St Mary, an extension built onto an older house moves differently, and the joint between them takes the strain.

About our external mastic in Red Post Bridge
External mastic is a job where short cuts show quickly. New sealant over old, joints packed with mortar and beads with no backing all tend to fail early. We strip the joint back and start again. If you have rain getting behind render or cladding at a joint and cracked joints where brick meets render or frames, we can help, on concrete & block, brickwork movement joints and copings & trims alike.
Somewhere as small as Red Post Bridge, homes and farm buildings often face open ground, so walls and rooflines take the full force of wind and rain. Joints on those walls need a sealant that moves with the building and stays in place.
All our work comes with a 12-month guarantee.

Looking after it afterwards
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Act on the first splits you see
- Keep water from gutters off the wall
- Keep high-pressure jets off the joints
- Walk round the building once a year and look at the joints
Only paint over the joint if we’ve confirmed the sealant can take paint. Many exterior sealants are not designed to be painted, and paint can crack as the joint moves.
If you can see gaps, plants or bare sections in a joint, have it checked. Earlier resealing means a smaller job and a better result.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Red Post Bridge
We also work for property managers and facilities teams in Red Post Bridge and across Hampshire. Several sites can be quoted together, and we’re fully insured.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.

What we cannot put right
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Walls that need new movement joints cut into them
- Loose or hollow render, which needs re-rendering
- Damp from another source, such as a leaking gutter or a bridged damp-proof course
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Brickwork movement joints
- Copings & trims
- Façade panels
- Concrete & block
- Joints between brick and frames
- Render & cladding joints
Should I try it myself first?
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
What we’re called out for in Red Post Bridge
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.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Sealant pulling away from one side of the joint
- Old sealant gone brittle and cracked
- Cracked joints where brick meets render or frames
- Joints with sealant missing in places
Schools such as John Hanson Community School are buildings too, and movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s.

FAQs for Red Post Bridge
Will you come out to Red Post Bridge?
Yes. Red Post Bridge is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you work for landlords with property near Andover station?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we will send you a clear quote.
Is it worth trying it myself?
That depends on the joint. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Tell us what needs doing and where, plus photos if you have them. If we need more, we will ask.
Do you work at height?
That depends on the building and the joints. Where joints can be reached safely, we will do them. Give us some details and we will confirm the access.
Is it messy?
Tidy work is part of the job. We protect what’s around the joints, and we clear up when we’re done.
Do I need to be at home?
It depends on the job. Inside work needs someone to give us access, and for outside work we’ll agree access with you when we book.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.
How it works
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins. The work normally takes a few hours to a few days, depending on the length of joint and the access. In a small place like Red Post Bridge, access is generally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We inspect the joints and agree which need resealing and how they’ll be reached.
- Old sealant and any debris are cut and raked out.
- We clean both faces of the joint and prime them where the product calls for it.
- Backing rod goes in next, setting the depth and keeping the sealant off the back of the joint.
- A flexible exterior sealant is applied and tooled in a colour to suit the wall.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
