External mastic in Ansty, done properly
Many failed façade joints only get noticed once there’s a stain or a damp patch inside. We inspect them, agree which need doing and reseal with a weatherproof, flexible sealant in a colour to suit. Common call-outs are for joints with sealant missing in places and gaps where render, brick and frames meet, across concrete & block, render & cladding joints and joints between brick and frames.
Somewhere as small as Ansty, homes and farm buildings often face open ground, so walls and rooflines take the full force of wind and rain. Gutter joints and wall joints there need a sealant that can flex and stay put.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

External mastic in Ansty: local notes
London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast. Historic houses like Ockenden Manor (about 1.2 miles north-east) are a reminder that the area around Ansty 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.
In the older streets around St John the Evangelist, old and new materials meet at the roofline and walls, which is where sealant earns its keep. Managing a site like Warden Park School? Then larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing.

What the job involves on each surface
Concrete and blockwork
Blockwork and concrete shrink over time and move with the seasons. Their movement joints are sealed over backing rod with a flexible sealant.
Brickwork movement joints
Brick moves with heat and moisture, and grows a little over time. That movement goes into the joint, so the sealant in it must stay soft and stretchy.
How the visit works
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and tidy away. Most jobs take a few hours to a few days, depending on the length of joint and the access. Somewhere as small as Ansty, access is often the only tricky part. 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.
- We gun in low-modulus sealant and tool it neatly.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Move anything stored near the joints

Should I try it myself first?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Questions from Ansty
Will you come out to Ansty?
Yes. Ansty is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.

Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before work begins.

Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes: twelve months. If anything isn’t right with the work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.
Do you use backing rod?
We fit closed-cell backing rod wherever the joint depth needs controlling. It sets the sealant depth and prevents three-sided bonding, so the joint can move.
Quotes for external mastic in Ansty
Your quote is based on your job. We look at:
- The number and length of the joints
- Any working-time requirements on site
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- The product the joint needs
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
What we need to know
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- Whether it has been sealed before
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints.
Common problems we fix in Ansty
The wrong product in a moving joint is a classic cause. A stiff, general-purpose sealant cannot cope with a joint that moves a lot, so it pulls away from the edges.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Joints pointed up with cement by mistake
- Water getting into walls through failed joints
- Gaps where render, brick and frames meet
- Weeds or debris growing in open joints
For landlords with property near Haywards Heath station, outside joints that have cracked can let damp into a rental, so check them between lets.

How to look after the new joints
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Keep movement joints as flexible joints, not mortar
- Keep water from gutters off the wall
- Get split or bare joints resealed while the damage is small
- Wash walls gently around the sealant
Look over the joints once a year, ideally after winter. Watch for splits, edges coming away or growth in the joint.
Water getting behind cladding or render can go unnoticed for a long time. When it finally shows inside, the joint may have been open for years, so it’s worth resealing at the first signs.
