External & façade joints in Soberton, Hampshire
Movement joints in Soberton need attention? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
- Leaking joints around cladding and façade panels
- Joints where the bead has come unstuck
- Moss and dirt in joints with no sealant left
How to look after the new joints
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep soil, plants and ivy away from the joints
- Walk round the building once a year and look at the joints
- Check the sealant is paintable before painting near it
- Deal with leaking gutters that soak the joints below
Look over the joints once a year, ideally after winter. Watch for splits, edges coming away or growth in the joint.
A joint that has stopped moving pushes the movement elsewhere, often as cracks near the joint. Resealing it early helps prevent that.
About our external mastic in Soberton
Movement joints let brickwork, render and cladding expand and shrink without cracking. The sealant in it has to stretch and squeeze for years, and when it fails, the wall takes the strain and water finds a way in. Typical jobs include movement joints with cracked, split or missing sealant and sealant that has lost its bond to the brick or render, across render & cladding joints, concrete & block and copings & trims.
Older homes in small places like Soberton may be stone, brick or timber-framed, often with later extensions. The joints where those materials meet are the weak points.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please call 0345 464 0079 or email us.

Do you need external mastic in Soberton?
Using the wrong sealant is another common reason. A high-modulus or general-purpose sealant can be too rigid for a busy joint, and it tears off the sides.
The problems people usually mention when they call include:
- Joints pointed up with cement by mistake
- Movement joints with cracked, split or missing sealant
- Hard, crazed mastic that has stopped moving
- Sealant that has lost its bond to the brick or render
Schools such as Droxford Junior School are buildings too, and movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s.

How the visit works
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and clear up. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the building. In a small place like Soberton, access is usually the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First we look over the joints with you, agree which to renew and talk through access.
- The old mastic and anything lodged in the joint is removed.
- Both sides are cleaned back to sound material and primed if needed.
- Closed-cell backing rod is fitted to set the depth and stop three-sided bonding.
- We gun in a flexible exterior sealant in a colour that suits the wall and tool it neatly.
How to prepare
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

Landlord and commercial work in Soberton
Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too. We can quote a run of properties together.
Landlords and agents in Soberton can book us as well as householders. Sealant work between tenants keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.
What happens if it’s left?
The longer a joint stays open, the more water the wall takes in. In cold weather, frost can damage wet brick and render near the open joint, so the damage spreads beyond the joint. Older cottages and farmhouses around Soberton can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.

What else we do in Soberton
What external mastic looks like in Soberton
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
Homes close to Church of St Peter include some older properties, and the joints between older walls, newer extensions and the roofline need a sealant that can move.

Different surfaces, different methods
Cladding and façade panels
If the façade has a specified sealant, that’s what we use, or one the system allows. Send us any details you have about the façade.
Joints between dissimilar materials
Where a frame or panel meets masonry, water often finds a way in. We cut out the old sealant and reseal with a product suited to both surfaces.
When something else is needed
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- Rising or penetrating damp from elsewhere in the wall
- Movement that is more than a sealant joint can take
- Cutting new joints into brickwork, which is building work rather than sealant work
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.
