External mastic in Titchfield Common, done properly
Short cuts in external joints show up within a season or two. 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. We’re often asked to deal with gaps where render, brick and frames meet and joints with sealant missing in places, on brickwork movement joints, concrete & block and façade panels.
In a smaller place like Titchfield Common, some homes face open ground, and walls and rooflines facing the weather take the worst of it. Joints on those sides are normally the first to go.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee.

What sealant work cannot fix
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant will not put right:
- Rising or penetrating damp from elsewhere in the wall
- Subsidence or other structural problems
- Render that is blown, hollow or coming away
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we seal
- Façade panels
- Copings & trims
- Render & cladding joints
- Concrete & block
- Joints between brick and frames
- Brickwork movement joints
Why act early in Titchfield Common
Done well, a resealed joint is a neat, straight line that suits the wall. A hurried job with smeared edges and no backing looks worse and fails sooner, so it pays to do it properly once. In a smaller place like Titchfield Common, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That is why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.

Can I do it myself?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Signs you need external mastic in Titchfield Common
Some movement joints have been pointed up with mortar. The joint can’t move, so the wall cracks somewhere else instead.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Failed seals between different materials
- Rigid filler in a joint that should flex
- Hard, crazed mastic that has stopped moving
- Panel joints letting water in
If you let a flat or house near Swanwick station, outside joints that have cracked can let damp into a rental, so check them between lets.

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.
Render joints
The face of render can be soft, so a sealant that stretches easily protects the edges. We prime where the product needs it.
What affects the cost of external mastic
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We look at:
- Whether there’s mould to deal with

What it costs depends on how much there is to do, 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.

What external mastic looks like in Titchfield Common
Titchfield Common is close to the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. Both are hard on movement joints and outside wall joints, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
Homes close to St John include some older properties, and old and new materials meet at the roofline and walls, which is where sealant earns its keep. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as St John the Baptist Church of England Primary School, its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s.

Common questions in Titchfield Common
Will you come out to Titchfield Common?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Does the coastal weather in Titchfield Common affect outside sealant?
Coastal homes put outside sealant through more weather than inland ones, so the choice of sealant and the preparation matter even more. Walls facing the sea are generally the first to need attention.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, and we never do. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new bead soon lifts. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
What is backing rod for?
Closed-cell backing rod sets the depth of the sealant and stops it sticking to the back of the joint. Then the sealant bonds to two faces and can move.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, we do. Domestic, commercial and hotel work are all part of what we do.
What sealant do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, chosen to suit the joint. We’ll tell you what we are using and why.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Of course. Doing several areas at once is normally more efficient, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured.
What happens on the day
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and clear up. It generally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the building. Parking around Titchfield Common is normally easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- Each joint is checked and the colour of the new sealant agreed.
- Failed sealant is removed back to clean, sound faces.
- Closed-cell backing rod is pushed in so the sealant bonds to two sides only.
- Primer is applied wherever the sealant needs it.
- We gun in low-modulus sealant and tool it neatly.
How to prepare
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Tell us about any water getting in
