External mastic for homes and businesses in Avon Castle
Low-level joints can generally be done from the ground. Where joints are higher up, tell us about the building when you get in touch and we will confirm what’s needed to reach them safely. We’re often asked to deal with panel joints letting water in and failed seals between different materials, across brickwork movement joints, concrete & block and render & cladding joints.
Older homes in small places like Avon Castle may be stone, brick or timber-framed, often with later extensions. Where one material meets another is where water generally gets in.
Our work is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

Avon Castle buildings and the weather
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast. Historic houses like Avon Tyrrell House (about 3.5 miles south-east) are a reminder that the area around Avon Castle 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.
Managing a site like St Ives Primary & Nursery School? Then larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing.

The process
Once we are on site, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. Most jobs then take a few hours for a handful of joints, longer for a whole elevation. Somewhere like Avon Castle needs a little journey planning: 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.
- The old mastic and anything lodged in the joint is removed.
- The joint faces are cleaned and primed where the sealant needs it.
- We push in closed-cell backing rod so the sealant is the right depth and bonds to the sides only.
- We gun in a flexible exterior sealant in a colour that suits the wall and tool it neatly.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Tell us about any water getting in
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

What we’re called out for in Avon Castle
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.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Movement joints with cracked, split or missing sealant
- Weathered mastic that no longer stretches
- Rain getting behind render or cladding at a joint
- Failed sealant between panels on a façade
Avon Tyrrell House, about 3.5 miles south-east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Avon Castle, and older homes nearby need a sealant that suits their walls.

What the job involves on each surface
Render joints
Water behind render can lead to blown patches. A sound joint keeps the render dry behind and protects the render itself.
Cladding and façade panels
Metal and composite panels move a lot with temperature, so the joint sealant has to cope with frequent movement. We choose the product to suit.
What affects the quote in Avon Castle
The price is agreed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- How many areas need sealing
- The size of the job
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- The old material and how stubborn it is
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
Helping us quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can tell us:
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- What’s wrong with the joints now
Want a quote for external mastic? Please phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the job. You will know what we plan to do, and what it will cost, before any work begins.
When it isn’t the sealant
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:
- Walls that need new movement joints cut into them
- Rising or penetrating damp from elsewhere in the wall
- Loose or hollow render, which needs re-rendering
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Façade panels
- Concrete & block
- Render & cladding joints
- Joints between brick and frames
- Brickwork movement joints
- Copings & trims
Keeping the joints in good condition
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep high-pressure jets off the joints
- Check the sealant is paintable before painting near it
- Fix overflowing gutters above sealed joints
- Point out the joints to other trades
Keep the joints clear of soil, plants and climbing growth. Damp material against the sealant shortens its life.
A joint that has stopped moving pushes the movement elsewhere, normally as cracking in the brickwork or render nearby. Resealing it early helps prevent that.
