External mastic for homes and businesses in Wroxall
Joints between dissimilar materials, like brick against render or concrete against a steel frame, see movement from both sides. A flexible exterior sealant takes up that movement where a rigid filler would soon crack. We work on façade panels, joints between brick and frames and copings & trims, and common reasons people get in touch are cracked joints where brick meets render or frames and moss and dirt in joints with no sealant left.
Outside joints can only be sealed when they’re dry, so work in Wroxall is booked around the forecast. Tell us about access to all sides of the building, including outbuildings and garages.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

What we do, step by step
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and clear up. Most jobs take a few hours to a few days, depending on the length of joint and the access. Somewhere like Wroxall needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We start by walking round the building and agreeing the joints and the access.
- We cut out the old mastic and rake out anything in the joint.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Move anything stored near the joints

Related advice
Why deal with it now?
A failed movement joint lets water into the wall. Resealing early keeps the job to the joint itself, instead of the wall and finishes around it. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Wroxall, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Combining jobs into one visit is generally more efficient than separate visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.

Do you need external mastic in Wroxall?
If plants are growing out of a joint, the sealant has usually failed or was never there. Dirt and roots then trap moisture in the joint.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Rigid filler in a joint that should flex
- Movement joints with cracked, split or missing sealant
- Weeds or debris growing in open joints
- Failed sealant between panels on a façade
If you let a flat or house near Shanklin station, failed wall and movement joints let damp in, so they’re worth checking between tenancies.
Before you book anyone
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- How long the guarantee is
Keeping the joints in good condition
Aftercare is simple:
- Keep high-pressure jets off the joints
- Deal with leaking gutters that soak the joints below
- Point out the joints to other trades
- Make sure movement joints aren’t pointed over
Look over the joints once a year, ideally after winter. Splits, gaps at the edges or plants in the joint are early warning signs.
Leaks behind façade panels and render often go unseen. When it finally shows inside, the joint may have been open for years so early resealing is worth it.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
FAQs for Wroxall
I let a flat near Shanklin station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
Does living near the coast affect external mastic in Wroxall?
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 usually the first to need attention.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Just the basics: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. After that, simply call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Will it make a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. We protect what’s around the joints, and the area is left clean when we finish.
When will the joints need doing again?
It varies with how exposed the wall is and how much the joint moves. Look for splits, hardening or edges coming away and have them redone then.
Do I have to be there?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. Indoors, that generally means someone at home.
Do you work in Wroxall?
Yes. We work in Wroxall. For a quote, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

What sealant work can’t fix
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Cracking across the wall rather than at a joint
- 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
If you are not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Outside joints around Wroxall
Wroxall is within about 2 miles of the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. Both are hard on movement joints and outside wall joints, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. Historic houses like Rylstone Manor (about 2.2 miles east) are a reminder that the area around Wroxall has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older brick and stone need a sealant that suits them, at the right joint depth.
If you look after a building such as Wroxall Primary School, its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s. In the older streets around St John's Church, older walls, gutters and the joints where extensions meet them need a flexible sealant.
