How we handle external mastic in Bardfield End Green
Many failed façade joints only get noticed once there’s a stain or a damp patch inside. We look over the joints, agree the ones to renew and reseal with a flexible, weatherproof product in a colour to suit. We’re often asked to deal with hard, crazed mastic that has stopped moving and moss and dirt in joints with no sealant left, on concrete & block, joints between brick and frames and brickwork movement joints.
Somewhere as small as Bardfield End Green, homes and farm buildings often face open ground, where walls and rooflines take the weather head on. Gutter joints and wall joints there need a sealant that can flex and stay put.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee.

Common questions in Bardfield End Green
Is there a guarantee on external mastic in Bardfield End Green?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Do you cover Bardfield End Green for external mastic?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Bardfield End 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 quote.
Do the sealants smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, but it fades. Ventilation helps.

Where are you based?

Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, every time. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
What sealant do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we’ll tell you what we are using.

We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders. Sealant work between tenants is a simple way to keep a property in good order.
What we’re called out for in Bardfield End Green
Sometimes a movement joint was filled with mortar or a rigid filler. With the joint locked solid, the movement turns into cracks elsewhere in the wall.
People generally contact us after spotting something like this:
- Weathered mastic that no longer stretches
- Failed seals between different materials
- Panel joints letting water in
- Moss and dirt in joints with no sealant left

What external mastic looks like in Bardfield End Green
Historic houses like Horham Hall (about 2.6 miles west) are a reminder that the area around Bardfield End Green has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older brick and stone need a sealant that suits them, at the right joint depth. Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
Managing a site like Thaxted Primary School? Then larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing.

Why act early in Bardfield End Green

Aftercare tips
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Deal with leaking gutters that soak the joints below
- Wash walls gently around the sealant
- Keep movement joints as flexible joints, not mortar
- Have failed joints looked at early
Keep pressure washers away from the sealant. A strong jet can damage the edges of the bead.
Gaps, plants or missing sealant in a joint are worth getting looked at. Early work is quicker and leaves a better finish.
