External mastic for homes and businesses in Yarbridge
Ground-floor and low-level joints are straightforward to reach. For joints higher up, give us some details of the building and we’ll confirm what access is needed. If you have panel joints letting water in and plants rooting in failed movement joints, we can help, on render & cladding joints, façade panels and copings & trims alike.
Older homes in small places like Yarbridge may be stone, brick or timber-framed, often with later extensions. The joints where those materials meet are the weak points.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee.

What affects the quote in Yarbridge
The price is agreed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Whether the work is at height
- The number of rooms or windows
- The product the joint needs
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That is why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.
What we need to know
To help us quote quickly, let us know:
- The address or postcode of the job
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
We don’t publish a price list, as no two jobs are quite the same. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To get started, call 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Ask before painting over external sealant
- Keep movement joints as flexible joints, not mortar
- Keep soil, plants and ivy away from the joints
- Keep high-pressure jets off the joints
Give the sealant the cure time we tell you before anything rubs against it. The surface skins over quickly, but full cure takes longer.
If you can see gaps, plants or bare sections in a joint, have it checked. Earlier resealing means a smaller job and a better result.
Yarbridge buildings and the weather
Yarbridge is close to the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. That is hard on movement joints and outside wall joints, especially on the side facing the sea. 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.
For landlords with property near Brading station, split movement joints are easy to miss on a rental until damp shows inside. Managing a site like Brading Church of England Controlled Primary School? Then its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s.

The process
Once we’re on site, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the building. In a small place like Yarbridge, access is usually the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- Each joint is checked and the colour of the new sealant agreed.
- We take out the old sealant until the faces are sound.
- Closed-cell backing rod is pushed in so the sealant bonds to two sides only.
- We prime the faces where required.
- A low-modulus exterior sealant is gunned in and tooled to a neat finish.
Before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Mention any tricky access

Questions from Yarbridge
Is external mastic in a coastal place like Yarbridge any different?
Coastal homes put outside sealant through more weather than inland ones, so the choice of sealant and the preparation matter even more. It’s worth checking the walls that face the sea first.
Do you cover smaller places like Yarbridge?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
How do I get a quote for external mastic in Yarbridge?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. To get one, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing and where.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Of course. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
Can you reach joints on upper floors?
It depends on the building. Where joints can be reached safely, we’ll do them. Give us some details and we will confirm the access.
Is it messy?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. Commercial and hotel work is a large part of what we do. Working times can be discussed when we quote.
Where are you based?
We work from Crawley. We cover Yarbridge and the rest of the Isle of Wight.
How the job changes by surface
Brickwork movement joints
Brick movement joints are often mistaken for a missing mortar line. Where one has been mortared, we cut it out and reseal it with sealant if the joint can be cleared.
Cladding and façade panels
Panels heat up and cool down quickly, so the joint sealant has to cope with frequent movement. The sealant is chosen with that in mind.
Common problems we fix in Yarbridge
The wrong product in a moving joint is a classic cause. A high-modulus or general-purpose sealant can be too rigid for a busy joint, so it pulls away from the edges.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Joints where the bead has come unstuck
- Panel joints letting water in
- Joints pointed up with cement by mistake
- Gaps where render, brick and frames meet
Homes close to St. Mary's Church include some older properties, and old and new materials meet at the roofline and walls, which is where sealant earns its keep.
Questions to ask before you book
- What the cure time is
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
Why it’s worth doing now in Yarbridge
A failed movement joint lets water into the wall, behind render and cladding. Dealing with it early keeps the repair to the joint, rather than the wall around it. Older cottages and farmhouses around Yarbridge can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. We give a clear quote before work begins, so you know where you stand.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
