Aingers Green buildings and the weather
Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind. Historic houses like Thorpe Hall (about 4.1 miles east) are a reminder that the area around Aingers Green has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older brick and stone need a sealant that suits them, at the right joint depth.
If you look after a building such as Great Bentley Primary School, movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s. Letting a property close to Great Bentley station? Then split movement joints are easy to miss on a rental until damp shows inside.

External mastic in Aingers Green, done properly
As ARBOMaster approved applicators, we choose exterior sealants to suit the joint and the surfaces. Some surfaces need a primer before sealing and we use one wherever it does. If you have rigid filler in a joint that should flex and leaking joints around cladding and façade panels, we can put it right, on copings & trims, façade panels and joints between brick and frames alike.
In a village or hamlet like Aingers Green, older cottages and farm buildings often stand in the open, where walls and rooflines take the weather head on. Gutter joints and wall joints there need a sealant that can flex and stay put.
All our work comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Essex.

FAQs for Aingers Green
Can you do external mastic in Aingers Green?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Aingers Green is part of that. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear price.
Is Aingers Green within the area you cover?
Yes. Aingers Green is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
When will the joints need doing again?
It depends on the exposure, the movement and the product. Sealant is a maintenance item, so check the joints once a year and reseal when it splits.
Do you work at height?
That depends on the building and the joints. Where joints can be reached safely, we’ll do them. Give us some details and we will confirm the access.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. If you can, email a few photos.
Do I need to be at home?
That depends on where the joints are. Inside work needs someone to give us access.
Where are you based?
Our base is in Crawley, West Sussex, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, it won’t last. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new bead soon lifts. The old sealant has to come out completely.
When to call us in Aingers Green
Every building moves. Clay bricks expand slightly over their life, concrete and block shrink, and everything moves with temperature and wet. All of that ends up in the joint sealant.
People normally contact us after spotting one of these:
- Joints pointed up with cement by mistake
- Failed seals between different materials
- Leaking joints around cladding and façade panels
- Rain getting behind render or cladding at a joint
If you live in an older home near Church of St Mary, the joints between older walls, newer extensions and the roofline need a sealant that can move.
Questions to ask before booking
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- What preparation is included
- What product goes in the joint
- Whether VAT is included
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Aftercare tips
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Keep soil, plants and ivy away from the joints
- Have failed joints looked at early
- Look over the joints every year, ideally after winter
- Ask before painting over external sealant
Keep the joints clear of soil, plants and climbing growth. Damp material against the sealant shortens its life.
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.
How the visit works
We keep the work tidy and contained to the joints we’re treating, so you can get on with your day. The job generally takes a few hours for a handful of joints, longer for a whole elevation, and we explain the cure time before we leave. For a village or hamlet like Aingers Green, the journey is planned in advance: 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.
- First, the joints are inspected and the access agreed.
- Every bit of old sealant and any mortar or debris is cut out.
- The faces are brushed clean and primed where the product requires it.
- Backing rod sized to the joint goes in to set the depth.
- We apply the sealant, tool it and check the whole run.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

Why act early in Aingers Green
Done well, a resealed joint is a neat, straight line that suits the wall. A rushed bead with no backing looks untidy and doesn’t last so it’s worth doing right. Older cottages and farmhouses around Aingers Green can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.
