External mastic in Yaverland
We cut out failed sealant, set the joint depth with closed-cell backing rod and reseal with a low-modulus exterior sealant. The colour is chosen to suit the brick or render so the joint does not stand out. If you have failed sealant between panels on a façade and failed seals between different materials, we can help.
Outside joints can only be sealed when they’re dry, so work in Yaverland is booked around the forecast. Tell us about access to all sides of the building, including outbuildings and garages.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

- The type of sealant required
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote and we will talk you through it.

Questions from Yaverland
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Brading station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before work begins.
Is Yaverland within the area you cover?
Yes, Yaverland is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
What’s an expansion joint in brickwork?
A vertical gap in a long brick wall is usually a movement joint. It gives the wall room to move.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done and you will get one quote.
How much does external mastic cost in Yaverland?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Call for a quick quote and we will talk you through it.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Sometimes. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. If it doesn’t work out, we can redo it.
Is it OK to fill a movement joint with cement?
No, not where the gap is a movement joint. Pointing it stops it working and can lead to cracking. A flexible sealant is the right fill.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
The process
On the day, we start by going over the job with you. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins. Most jobs take a few hours for a handful of joints, longer for a whole elevation. For a village or hamlet like Yaverland, 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 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.
- We apply the sealant, tool it and check the whole run.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
How to get a quote
Getting a quote is simple: let us know what needs doing and where, and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help us understand the job.
Advice
Why it’s worth doing now in Yaverland
An open joint keeps letting water into the wall with every downpour. In cold weather, frost can damage wet brick and render near the open joint, so the damage spreads beyond the joint. In a small place like Yaverland, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

Walls and rooflines in Yaverland
Yaverland is close to the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. That is hard on movement joints and outside wall joints, especially on the side facing the sea. Historic houses like Yaverland Manor (about 0.5 miles north) are a reminder that the area around Yaverland 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.
If you live in an older home near St John the Baptist Church, old and new materials meet at the roofline and walls, which is where sealant earns its keep. For landlords with property near Brading station, outside joints that have cracked can let damp into a rental, so check them between lets.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the 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.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Signs you need external mastic in Yaverland
Sunlight, wet weather and frost wear exterior sealant down. Over the years it hardens, cracks on the surface and loses its give, so the joint eventually tears or comes away from one side.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Weathered mastic that no longer stretches
- Plants rooting in failed movement joints
- Sealant that has lost its bond to the brick or render
- Damp patches traced to an open external joint
Schools such as The Bay Church of England School are buildings too, and movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s.
What to look for in a quote
- How long the guarantee is
- Which colour the sealant will be
- How hidden problems are handled
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
Keeping the joints in good condition
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Clear growth from the base of walls and joints
- Fix overflowing gutters above sealed joints
- Check the sealant is paintable before painting near it
- Avoid pressure-washing directly into sealant joints
Keep the joints clear of soil, plants and climbing growth. Damp material against the sealant shortens its life.
Gaps, plants or missing sealant in a joint are worth getting looked at. Earlier resealing means a smaller job and a better result.
