When to call us in Binsted
Weeds, moss and debris in a joint are a sign the sealant has gone. Dirt and roots then trap moisture in the joint and make things worse.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Joints pointed up with cement by mistake
- Moss and dirt in joints with no sealant left
- Hard, crazed mastic that has stopped moving
- Joints with sealant missing in places
Schools such as Binsted Church of England Primary School are buildings too, and movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s.
Questions to ask before booking
- Who turns up on the day

External mastic in Binsted, done properly
Joints in render and cladding are easy to overlook until a damp patch appears. We look over the joints, agree the ones to renew and reseal with a flexible, weatherproof product in a matching colour. Typical jobs include gaps where render, brick and frames meet and movement joints with cracked, split or missing sealant, across copings & trims, render & cladding joints and brickwork movement joints.
External sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work around Binsted is planned for dry weather. Let us know about access to every wall, plus any garages or outbuildings.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after we have gone.

What happens on the day
You do not need to clear the whole room or building before we come, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the work 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 Binsted, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- First, the joints are inspected and the access agreed.
- Every bit of old sealant and any mortar or debris is cut out.
- The faces are brushed clean and primed where the product requires it.
- Backing rod sized to the joint goes in to set the depth.
- We apply the sealant, tool it and check the whole run.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

Advice
Walls and rooflines in Binsted
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 the Holy Cross include some older properties, and an extension built onto an older house moves differently, and the joint between them takes the strain. Rented homes near Bentley (Hampshire) station change hands often, and outside joints that have cracked can let damp into a rental, so check them between lets.

Binsted: your questions answered
Is Binsted within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Bentley (Hampshire) station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before we start.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we tidy up before we go.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We are ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned.
Is it OK to fill a movement joint with cement?
No. Rigid materials can’t move with the wall. Where a joint has been mortared, it can often be raked out and sealed properly.
How long does the job take?
A typical job takes a few hours for a handful of joints, longer for a whole elevation, including preparation and clearing up. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
What sealant do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, picked for each joint. We explain the product when we quote.
What affects the quote in Binsted
There’s no set price list, because no two jobs are the same. The quote depends on:
- The product the joint needs
- Any working-time requirements on site
- Access and height
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You’ll know the price before we begin.
Asking for a quote
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Try to tell us:
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Roughly how big the job is
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
Every job is quoted individually, so the first step is telling us about yours. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details, and photos are welcome.
How the job changes by surface
Copings and trims
Joints in copings, parapets and trims are exposed to the worst of the weather. Each is resealed with a weatherproof, flexible sealant.
Joints between dissimilar materials
Each side of the joint may need its own preparation. Both surfaces are cleaned and primed as the product requires.

When something else is needed
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t solve:
- Loose or hollow render, which needs re-rendering
- Adding movement joints to masonry that has none
- Subsidence or other structural problems
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we seal
- Copings & trims
- Joints between brick and frames
- Render & cladding joints
- Brickwork movement joints
- Concrete & block
- Façade panels
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. We can quote for more than one property at once.
For anyone letting property in or around Binsted, jobs at different addresses can be quoted together. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs, and pictures by email help.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
