External mastic in Beaumont
Movement joints let brickwork, render and cladding expand and shrink without cracking. Its sealant has to flex with the building, season after season, so once it splits or hardens, the joint stops working and water gets in. We’re often asked to deal with gaps where render, brick and frames meet and moss and dirt in joints with no sealant left, on façade panels, copings & trims and render & cladding joints.
Older homes in small places like Beaumont may be stone, brick or timber-framed, often with later extensions. The joints where those materials meet are the weak points.
Big or small, you get the same 12-month guarantee.

What happens on the day
Our applicators work methodically: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. Typically it takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the building. For a village or hamlet like Beaumont, 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.
- The old mastic and anything lodged in the joint is removed.
- We clean both faces of the joint and prime them where the product calls for it.
- Closed-cell backing rod is fitted to set the depth and stop three-sided bonding.
- A flexible exterior sealant is applied and tooled in a colour to suit the wall.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Tell us about any water getting in

Why it’s worth doing now in Beaumont
The longer a joint stays open, the more water the wall takes in. Wet masonry is more easily damaged by frost near the open joint, so the damage spreads beyond the joint. In a small place like Beaumont, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask about the job first and give you a clear price before work begins.

What we cannot put right

How we quote for external mastic
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- When we can work, for business premises
- How easy the joints are to reach
- How much there is to do
- The product the joint needs
The cost depends on the amount of work, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts.
What we need to know
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Try to tell us:
- How we’d reach the joints
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
We quote each job on its own, so the first step is telling us about yours. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details and send pictures if you have them.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
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.
Landlord and commercial work in Beaumont
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.

Questions from Beaumont
Do you work for landlords with property near Thorpe-Le-Soken station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Is Beaumont within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work.
What does external mastic cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. You will get a clear quote before we start.
Is it worth trying it myself?
That depends on the joint. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Will you leave a mess?
We keep the work tidy. We protect what’s around the joints.
Can you seal joints between two different materials?
Yes. Where different materials meet is one of the most common joints we seal. We use a flexible sealant suited to both surfaces.
Will there be a smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, which fades as it sets. Opening a window helps.
Walls and rooflines in Beaumont
Beaumont is within about 2 miles of the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. That’s hard on movement joints and outside wall joints, especially on the side facing the sea. With historic houses such as Thorpe Hall (about 2 miles south) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Beaumont as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older walls and rooflines need a sealant that moves with them and suits the material.
Letting a property close to Thorpe-Le-Soken station? Then split movement joints are easy to miss on a rental until damp shows inside.

What we’re called out for in Beaumont
A lot of failed joints come down to preparation: dusty or wet faces, no primer where one was needed, or old sealant left in. The sealant never bonds properly.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Hard, crazed mastic that has stopped moving
- Failed seals between different materials
- Movement joints filled with mortar instead of sealant
- Panel joints letting water in
Homes close to Parish Church of St Leonard include some older properties, and an extension built onto an older house moves differently, and the joint between them takes the strain.
