- Panel joints letting water in

External mastic for homes and businesses in Albury
Getting the depth right is half the job. Closed-cell backing rod sets the depth and stops the sealant sticking to the back, so it bonds to the two sides only and can stretch. If you’re dealing with moss and dirt in joints with no sealant left and damp patches traced to an open external joint, we can help.
Outside joints can only be sealed when they’re dry, so work in Albury is booked around the forecast. Tell us about access to all sides of the building, including outbuildings and garages.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

How we quote for external mastic
Call for a quick quote. The main things that affect it are:
- When we can work, for business premises
- Which sealant suits the joint
- The number of rooms or windows

Helping us quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- If someone has resealed it before
- The rough size of the job
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and add photos by email if you can.
How to look after the new joints
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Check external joints each spring
- Check the sealant is paintable before painting near it
- Fix overflowing gutters above sealed joints
- Get split or bare joints resealed while the damage is small
Do not let soil, plants or ivy build up against the new joints. Damp material against the sealant shortens its life.
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.
What we are called out for in Albury
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, and it tears off the sides.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Brick movement joints where the sealant has split
- Failed seals between different materials
- Joints where the bead has come unstuck
- Failed sealant between panels on a façade
In the older streets around Church of St Peter and St Paul, an extension built onto an older house moves differently, and the joint between them takes the strain.

How the job changes by surface
Cladding and façade panels
Cladding and façade panels are generally separated by sealed joints. Each joint gets a sealant that suits the panel and its movement.
Concrete and blockwork
Concrete faces can be dusty and porous, so preparation is key. We prime where the sealant needs it before the bead.
What we do, step by step
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, protect the area around them, carry out the job and clear up. It usually takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the building. Somewhere like Albury needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- First, the joints are inspected and the access agreed.
- We cut out the old mastic and rake out anything in the joint.
- Joint faces are cleaned back and primed if the sealant needs 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
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

Advice
What external mastic looks like in Albury
With historic houses such as Chilworth Manor (about 1.5 miles west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Albury as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older walls and rooflines need a sealant that moves with them and suits the material. Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
Rented homes near Chilworth station change hands often, and split movement joints are easy to miss on a rental until damp shows inside.

Do you have insurance?

Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before applying anything new.
Will the new joint stand out?
Exterior sealants are made in a range of colours, from greys and browns to whites and stone shades. We choose the closest to your brick or render so the joint does not draw the eye.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we’re part of it.
Will it make a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. Nearby surfaces are protected, and the area is left clean when we finish.
Does someone need to be in?
We need access to the joints, so we’ll agree that with you when we book. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
