Steep: your questions answered
Do you cover Steep for external mastic?
Yes, Steep is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Petersfield station?

Will the new joint stand out?
Exterior sealants are made in a range of colours, from greys and browns to whites and stone shades. We pick the one that suits your wall best.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, every time. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, always. Each job is guaranteed for twelve months.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old sealant, and it traps any mould or water underneath. It all has to come out first.
Will it make a mess?
No. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
External mastic for homes and businesses in Steep
Low-level joints can normally 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 rigid filler in a joint that should flex and plants rooting in failed movement joints, across joints between brick and frames, brickwork movement joints and copings & trims.
External sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work around Steep is planned for dry weather. Let us know about access to every wall, plus any garages or outbuildings.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

What we do, step by step
There’s no need to move everything out before we come, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the work takes a few hours to a few days, depending on the length of joint and the access in most cases. In a small place like Steep, access is generally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- 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.
- We fit closed-cell backing rod to control the depth.
- The exterior sealant is applied, tooled and checked along its length.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Clear the area around the work
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. Several properties can be quoted together.
Aftercare tips
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Deal with leaking gutters that soak the joints below
- Keep high-pressure jets off the joints
- Keep soil, plants and ivy away from the joints
- Check external joints each spring
Keep the joints clear of soil, plants and climbing growth. Damp material against the sealant shortens its life.
Water getting behind cladding or render can go unnoticed for a long time. When it finally shows inside, the joint may have been open for years, so it’s worth resealing at the first signs.

Do you need external mastic in Steep?
If plants are growing out of a joint, the sealant has normally failed or was never there. Roots and dirt hold water against the wall and make things worse.
The problems people usually mention when they call are:
- Leaking joints around cladding and façade panels
- Joints pointed up with cement by mistake
- Movement joints with cracked, split or missing sealant
- Old sealant gone brittle and cracked
Rented homes near Petersfield station change hands often, and failed wall and movement joints let damp in, so they’re worth checking between tenancies.
What your quote should include
- Whether you can choose the colour
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- How long to leave it before use
What the job involves on each surface
Render joints
Water behind render can lead to blown patches. Resealing the joints early keeps water out and helps it last.
Copings and trims
Joints in copings, parapets and trims are exposed to the worst of the weather. We reseal them with an exterior sealant suited to the material.
