External mastic in Wickham Common
For buildings in Wickham Common, we reseal external joints of all kinds, from brick movement joints to cladding panels. The preparation is the same whatever the wall: clean joint faces and the right depth. We work on render & cladding joints, joints between brick and frames and brickwork movement joints, and common reasons people get in touch are failed sealant between panels on a façade and gaps where render, brick and frames meet.
Outside joints can only be sealed when they’re dry, so work in Wickham Common is booked around the forecast. Let us know about access to every wall, plus any garages or outbuildings.
Our work is backed for twelve months, in Wickham Common and everywhere else we cover.

Signs you need external mastic in Wickham Common
Weeds, moss and debris in a joint are a sign the sealant has gone. Roots and dirt hold water against the wall and make things worse.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Sealant pulling away from one side of the joint
- Cracked joints where brick meets render or frames
- Damp patches traced to an open external joint
- Old sealant gone brittle and cracked
Managing a site like Wickham Church of England Primary School? Then its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s.
Before booking anyone
- How long to leave it before use
- How the colour is chosen
- The length of the guarantee
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
What we do, step by step
Once we’re on site, 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 anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the building. For a village or hamlet like Wickham Common, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. 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.
- Closed-cell backing rod is pushed in so the sealant bonds to two sides only.
- We prime the faces where required.
- We gun in low-modulus sealant and tool it neatly.
Before we arrive
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

How to look after the new joints
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Make sure movement joints aren’t pointed over
- Check external joints each spring
- Don’t let climbing plants root in the sealant
- Show decorators and builders where the movement joints are
Keep pressure washers away from the sealant. A strong jet can damage the edges of the bead and let water in behind.
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.

Copings and trims
Joints in copings, parapets and trims are exposed to the worst of the weather. Each is resealed with a weatherproof, flexible sealant.
Joints between dissimilar materials
Wherever two materials meet, they move differently. A flexible sealant bridges the two so the movement is taken up.
What we cannot put right
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:
- Cracks in the bricks or render themselves, away from the joints
- Cutting new joints into brickwork, which is building work rather than sealant work
- Damp from another source, such as a leaking gutter or a bridged damp-proof course
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will tell you honestly.

Outside joints around Wickham Common
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.
Letting a property close to Fareham station? Then outside joints that have cracked can let damp into a rental, so check them between lets. If you live in an older home near Church of St Nicholas, the joints between older walls, newer extensions and the roofline need a sealant that can move.
