Titchfield External Mastic
Sealing brickwork movement joints, render, cladding and façade joints for homes and businesses in Titchfield and across Hampshire. Fully insured, ARBOMaster approved and guaranteed for a year.
- Weeds or debris growing in open joints
- Hard, crazed mastic that has stopped moving
- Gaps where render, brick and frames meet
How it works
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. After that, the work takes a few hours to a few days, depending on the length of joint and the access. For a village or hamlet like Titchfield, the journey is planned in advance: 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 look at every joint and agree a colour to suit the wall.
- Failed sealant is removed back to clean, sound faces.
- Backing rod goes in so the sealant can stretch between the two faces.
- Primer is applied wherever the sealant needs it.
- A low-modulus exterior sealant is gunned in and tooled to a neat finish.
How to prepare
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
How to get a quote
Getting a quote is simple: let us know the job and the location, and roughly how big it is. A few pictures by email make the job easier to understand.
Related advice
External mastic for homes and businesses in Titchfield
Joints between dissimilar materials, like brick against render or concrete against a steel frame, see movement from both sides. A flexible sealant bridges the two where mortar or filler would crack. If you have weeds or debris growing in open joints and brick movement joints where the sealant has split, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Outside joints can only be sealed when they’re dry, so work in Titchfield is booked around the forecast. Let us know about access to every wall, plus any garages or outbuildings.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee in Titchfield and across Hampshire.

FAQs for Titchfield
Will you come out to Titchfield?
Yes, Titchfield is covered. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you work for landlords with property near Fareham station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Is it messy?
Tidy work is part of the job. Nearby surfaces are protected, and the area is left clean when we finish.
How long will you be here?
That depends on the amount of work, but as a guide it takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the building. We will give you a better idea when we quote.
Where do you work from?
We work from Crawley. Our applicators cover Titchfield.
Can new sealant go over the old?
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.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before resealing.
How long does external mastic last?
It depends on the exposure, the movement and the product. Sealant is a maintenance item, so check the joints once a year and renew it when it starts to fail.
Signs you need external mastic in Titchfield
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.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Movement joints filled with mortar instead of sealant
- Failed sealant between panels on a façade
- Joints where the bead has come unstuck
- Failed seals between different materials
In the older streets around Church of St Peter, older walls, gutters and the joints where extensions meet them need a flexible sealant.
Before booking anyone
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- What insurance they hold
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Get split or bare joints resealed while the damage is small
- Point out the joints to other trades
- Never let anyone fill a movement joint with mortar
- Look over the joints every year, ideally after winter
Avoid pressure-washing straight into the joints. A strong jet can damage the edges of the bead over time.
Water getting behind cladding or render can go unnoticed for a long time. By the time there’s a damp patch, the damage can be well established.
What external mastic looks like in Titchfield
Titchfield 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. Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
If you let a flat or house near Fareham station, failed wall and movement joints let damp in, so they’re worth checking between tenancies. If you look after a building such as Titchfield Primary School, movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s.

Can I do it myself?
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
Why act early in Titchfield
An open joint keeps letting water into the wall with every downpour. Wet masonry is more easily damaged by frost around the joint, so the problem grows beyond the joint itself. Older cottages and farmhouses around Titchfield can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs, plus any working-time requirements on site. Ask us for a quote and we will go through it with you.

When something else is needed
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- Subsidence or other structural problems
- Loose or hollow render, which needs re-rendering
