External Mastic in Aimes Green
Sealing brickwork movement joints, render, cladding and façade joints for homeowners, landlords and businesses in Aimes Green. Fully insured, ARBOMaster approved and guaranteed for a year.
- Gaps where render, brick and frames meet
- Failed sealant between panels on a façade
- Brick movement joints where the sealant has split
What we cannot put right
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- Loose or hollow render, which needs re-rendering
- Damp that is not coming from the joint
- Movement that’s more than a sealant joint can take
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you a straight answer.
Joints and surfaces we work on

External mastic in Aimes Green
For buildings in Aimes Green, we reseal external joints of all kinds, from brick movement joints to cladding panels. The preparation is the same whatever the wall: clean, sound faces and a controlled depth. If you have movement joints filled with mortar instead of sealant and old sealant gone brittle and cracked, we can put it right.
In a village or hamlet like Aimes Green, 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.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Aimes Green questions
Will you come out to Aimes Green?
Yes. Aimes Green is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can you do external mastic in Aimes Green?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Aimes Green is part of that. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and let us know what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
What colours does the sealant come in?
The sealant colour is picked to suit the wall, so the joint sits quietly in the wall. Exterior sealants come in a good range of colours.
Can you seal joints between render and window frames?
Yes. Materials like render, brick, metal and uPVC all move differently, so the joint between them must be flexible. We choose one that suits both surfaces.
Why do you put foam in the joint first?
We fit closed-cell backing rod wherever the joint depth needs controlling. It sets the sealant depth and prevents three-sided bonding.
Can you reach joints on upper floors?
Each building is different. Tell us the height, the number of joints and what’s below them and we’ll confirm how they can be reached safely.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often happy for the work to be arranged.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. Commercial and hotel work is a large part of what we do, as well as homes. Working times can be discussed when we quote.
What happens on the day
There’s no need to move everything out, just the space around the work. Everything nearby is protected, and the job takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the building for a typical job. For a village or hamlet like Aimes Green, 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 inspect the joints and agree which need resealing and how they’ll be reached.
- We cut out the failed sealant and rake out any dirt or growth.
- Both sides are cleaned back to sound material and primed if needed.
- We push in closed-cell backing rod so the sealant is the right depth and bonds to the sides only.
- A flexible exterior sealant is applied and tooled in a colour to suit the wall.
Getting ready for the visit

How the job changes by surface
Joints between dissimilar materials
Brick against render, concrete against metal, stone against timber: every change of material is a joint. A flexible sealant bridges the two.
Copings and trims
Coping and trim joints face rain and sun head on. We reseal them with an exterior sealant suited to the material.
Aftercare tips
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Avoid pressure-washing directly into sealant joints
- Make sure movement joints are not pointed over
- Don’t let climbing plants root in the sealant
- Check external joints each spring
Give the sealant the cure time we tell you before anything rubs against it. The surface skins over quickly, but full cure takes longer.
Act while the splits are small. At that stage it’s a simple cut out and reseal with no damage behind it to deal with.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Aimes Green
If you manage several properties in or around Aimes Green, several properties can be quoted together. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs, and pictures by email help.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
When to call us in Aimes Green
Every building moves. Brickwork grows a little over the years, blockwork and concrete shrink, and all of it moves with heat and moisture. All of that ends up in the joint sealant.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Joints pointed up with cement by mistake
- Weathered mastic that no longer stretches
- Panel joints letting water in
- Joints with sealant missing in places
Letting a property close to Cheshunt station? Then failed wall and movement joints let damp in, so they’re worth checking between tenancies.

- Any working-time requirements on site
- The old material and how stubborn it is

Outside joints around Aimes Green
