How we handle external mastic in Wigley
A movement joint is a deliberate break that lets a wall expand and contract. Its sealant has to flex with the building, season after season, and when it fails, the wall takes the strain and water finds a way in. Typical jobs include sealant that has lost its bond to the brick or render and movement joints filled with mortar instead of sealant, across façade panels, brickwork movement joints and copings & trims.
In a village or hamlet like Wigley, older cottages and farm buildings often stand in the open, where walls and rooflines take the weather head on. Joints on those walls need a sealant that moves with the building and stays in place.

What happens on the day
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we do not rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it usually takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the building. Somewhere like Wigley needs a little journey planning: 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 start by checking each joint, agreeing the ones to redo and how we’ll reach them.
- The old mastic and anything lodged in the joint is removed.
- The joint faces are cleaned and primed where the sealant needs it.
- Closed-cell backing rod is fitted to set the depth and stop three-sided bonding.
- The new sealant, chosen to suit the brick or render, is applied and tooled to a neat finish.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

Should I try it myself first?
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.

Walls and rooflines in Wigley
Historic houses like Landford Manor (about 4.4 miles north-west) are a reminder that the area around Wigley has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older walls and rooflines need a sealant that moves with them and suits the material. Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
If you let a flat or house near Totton station, failed wall and movement joints let damp in, so they’re worth checking between tenancies. Landford Manor, about 4.4 miles north-west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Wigley, and older homes nearby need a sealant that suits their walls.

Leave it or put it right?
Resealing a run of joints in one go is usually better than patching one at a time. They’ve weathered the same way, and access only has to be arranged once. In a small place like Wigley, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.

Looking after it afterwards
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Never let anyone fill a movement joint with mortar
- Ask before painting over external sealant
- Clear growth from the base of walls and joints
- Fix overflowing gutters above sealed joints
Do not paint over the new sealant unless we’ve said the product is paintable. Paint can crack on a flexible joint, and paint can crack as the joint moves.
A joint that has stopped moving pushes the movement elsewhere, often as cracks near the joint. Resealing it early helps prevent that.
Your questions about external mastic in Wigley
Do you work for landlords with property near Totton station?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before we start.
Is Wigley in your area for external mastic?
Yes, Wigley is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing.
Is it OK to fill a movement joint with cement?
No. Rigid materials can’t move with the wall and the joint fails. Where a joint has been mortared, it can often be raked out and sealed properly.
Can you reach joints on upper floors?
It depends on the height and the site. Low-level joints are straightforward; for higher ones, send details and we’ll confirm the access.
How long does external mastic last?
There’s no fixed answer: joints on exposed walls or with a lot of movement age sooner. A yearly look will tell you when they need doing. Every job carries our one-year guarantee.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, we can. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
Can I do it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
What information do you need?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. If you can, email a few pictures.
