DIY versus a professional finish
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
External mastic for homes and businesses in Beauchamp Roding
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. We work on joints between brick and frames, façade panels and copings & trims, and the jobs we see most are plants rooting in failed movement joints and rigid filler in a joint that should flex.
Around Beauchamp Roding, older buildings can be stone, brick or timber-framed, many with extensions added later. Where one material meets another is where water normally gets in.
Big or small, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee in Beauchamp Roding and across Essex.

Signs you need external mastic in Beauchamp Roding
Poor preparation causes many early failures: joint faces that were dusty or damp, unprimed where they needed it, or still carrying old sealant. The sealant never bonds properly.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Rigid filler in a joint that should flex
- Water getting into walls through failed joints
- Old sealant gone brittle and cracked
- Failed sealant between panels on a façade
Around Beauchamp Roding, as everywhere, external mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Beauchamp Roding buildings and the weather
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.
Homes close to Church of St Botolph Beauchamp Roding include some older properties, and an extension built onto an older house moves differently, and the joint between them takes the strain.

Aftercare tips
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Look over the joints every year, ideally after winter
- Get split or bare joints resealed while the damage is small
- Wash walls gently around the sealant
- Keep movement joints as flexible joints, not mortar
Look over the joints once a year, ideally after winter. Splits, gaps at the edges or plants in the joint are early warning signs.
Once a joint cannot move, the wall finds another way, often as cracks near the joint. Catch it early and you reduce the risk.

Common questions in Beauchamp Roding
Will you come out to Beauchamp Roding?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Is there a guarantee on external mastic in Beauchamp Roding?
All our work, in Beauchamp Roding and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Will it make a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We are based in Crawley, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done and you will get one quote.
Do you seal joints where cladding meets other materials?
Yes. Different materials move at different rates, so a flexible sealant is needed where they meet. The sealant is matched to both sides.
Will the new joint stand out?
We choose a sealant colour to suit the brick, stone or render so the joint blends in. Exterior sealants come in a good range of colours.
What sealant do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, chosen to suit the joint. We’ll tell you what we’re using and why.
Leave it or put it right?
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 pays to do it properly once. Around Beauchamp Roding, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.

How it works
There’s no need to move everything out before we come, just the space around the work. Everything nearby is protected, and the job takes a few hours to a few days, depending on the length of joint and the access in most cases. For a village or hamlet like Beauchamp Roding, 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.
- We start by checking each joint, agreeing the ones to redo and how we will reach them.
- Old sealant and any debris are cut and raked out.
- Both sides are cleaned back to sound material and primed if needed.
- Closed-cell backing rod is fitted to set the depth and stop three-sided bonding.
- We gun in a flexible exterior sealant in a colour that suits the wall and tool it neatly.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
