Shipton Green External Mastic
Professional external mastic in and around Shipton Green, with old sealant always removed completely.
- Moss and dirt in joints with no sealant left
- Movement joints with cracked, split or missing sealant
- Gaps where render, brick and frames meet
When it isn’t the sealant
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Cracking across the wall rather than at a joint
- Cutting new joints into brickwork, which is building work rather than sealant work
- Structural movement, which needs a surveyor or engineer
If you are not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer.
Where we work in Shipton Green
- Render & cladding joints
- Brickwork movement joints
- Joints between brick and frames
- Concrete & block
- Copings & trims
- Façade panels
How we handle external mastic in Shipton Green
Low-level joints can generally be done from the ground. Where joints are higher up, tell us about the building when you get in touch and we will confirm what’s needed to reach them safely. We are often asked to deal with brick movement joints where the sealant has split and weathered mastic that no longer stretches, across joints between brick and frames, façade panels and render & cladding joints.
In a village or hamlet like Shipton Green, older cottages and farm buildings often stand in the open, so walls and rooflines take the full force of wind and rain. Gutter joints and wall joints there need a sealant that can flex and stay put.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
What we do, step by step
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Show us the job and we’ll take it from there. The job generally takes a few hours for a handful of joints, longer for a whole elevation. Somewhere like Shipton Green 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.
- We start by walking round the building and agreeing the joints and the access.
- Every bit of old sealant and any mortar or debris is cut out.
- The faces are brushed clean and primed where the product requires it.
- Backing rod sized to the joint goes in to set the depth.
- The exterior sealant is applied, tooled and checked along its length.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any tricky access
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

Related advice
Different surfaces, different methods
Cladding and façade panels
Cladding and façade panels are usually separated by sealed joints. We reseal them with a sealant suited to the panel material.
Joints between dissimilar materials
Different materials may need different primers. We prepare both faces so the sealant bonds properly.
What we are called out for in Shipton Green
Joints sealed without backing rod, or far too deep, rarely last. If the sealant sticks to the back as well as the sides, it can’t stretch and rips as the joint opens.
Look out for any of the following:
- Hard, crazed mastic that has stopped moving
- Movement joints filled with mortar instead of sealant
- Brick movement joints where the sealant has split
- Sealant pulling away from one side of the joint
Rented homes near Bosham station change hands often, and failed wall and movement joints let damp in, so they’re worth checking between tenancies.

Outside joints around Shipton Green
Shipton Green is close to 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. 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.
If you live in an older home near St Nicholas' Church, old and new materials meet at the roofline and walls, which is where sealant earns its keep. Managing a site like Birdham CE Primary School? Then movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s.

Why deal with it now?
Resealing a run of joints in one go is usually better than patching one at a time. They’ve weathered the same way and it means sorting access once. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Shipton Green, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.

Shipton Green: your questions answered
Does the coastal weather in Shipton Green affect outside sealant?
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.
Do you work for landlords with property near Bosham station?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as householders, and several properties can be quoted together. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Will you leave a mess?
Not at all. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We are approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
How do you reach high-level joints?
That depends on how high the joints are and the ground below. Ground-floor joints are simple; for higher ones, send details and we’ll confirm the access.
How much does external mastic cost in Shipton Green?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. You’ll get a clear quote before any work starts.
What do you put in the joint?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything isn’t right with the work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.
