External mastic in Bramley, done properly
We’re ARBOMaster approved applicators, and each external joint gets a sealant suited to it. Porous or awkward surfaces are primed where the sealant needs it, and we don’t skip that step. We are often asked to deal with brick movement joints where the sealant has split and leaking joints around cladding and façade panels, on copings & trims, façade panels and joints between brick and frames.
Around Bramley, garages, outbuildings and extensions all add to the joints on the outside of a home. Leaks generally start at a gutter end, a garage door frame or where an extension meets the house.
Our work is backed for twelve months, in Bramley and everywhere else we cover.

Questions from Bramley
Will you come out to Bramley?
Yes. Bramley is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Bramley (Hants) station?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
Should I try DIY first?
It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.
How long does external mastic last?
There’s no fixed answer: joints on exposed walls or with a lot of movement age sooner. A yearly look will tell you when they need doing. Every job carries our one-year guarantee.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.
What should I tell you?
Only a few details: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. Then phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
What does external mastic cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. We agree the price before any work begins.
What’s an expansion joint in brickwork?
Brickwork, render and cladding all move a little, so long walls have planned gaps to take that movement. It’s closed with backing rod and a flexible sealant.
Should I try it myself first?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Landlords and letting agents in Bramley can book us as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we will quote.
How to look after the new joints
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Walk round the building once a year and look at the joints
- Clear growth from the base of walls and joints
- Check the sealant is paintable before painting near it
- Tell anyone working on the walls about the movement joints
Look over the joints once a year, ideally after winter. Splits, gaps at the edges or plants in the joint are early warning signs.
Gaps, plants or missing sealant in a joint are worth getting looked at. Earlier resealing means a smaller job and a better result.
What sealant work can’t fix
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Movement that’s more than a sealant joint can take
- Cracked brickwork or render that needs a builder or plasterer
- Damp from another source, such as a leaking gutter or a bridged damp-proof course
If you are not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

How the visit works
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we do not rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it normally takes a few hours for a handful of joints, longer for a whole elevation. For a job in Bramley, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- Each joint is checked and the colour of the new sealant agreed.
- Failed sealant is removed back to clean, sound faces.
- Closed-cell backing rod is pushed in so the sealant bonds to two sides only.
- We prime the faces where required.
- A low-modulus exterior sealant is gunned in and tooled to a neat finish.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

What external mastic looks like in Bramley
Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast. Historic houses like The Vyne (about 1.9 miles south-west) are a reminder that the area around Bramley has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older walls and rooflines need a sealant that moves with them and suits the material.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St James, older walls, gutters and the joints where extensions meet them need a flexible sealant. Managing a site like Bramley Church of England Primary School? Then movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s. Letting a property close to Bramley (Hants) station? Then split movement joints are easy to miss on a rental until damp shows inside.

Surface by surface
Cladding and façade panels
Where a cladding system has its own specified sealant, we follow it or an approved alternative. Send us any details you have about the façade.
Concrete and blockwork
Concrete faces can be dusty and porous, so preparation is key. We prime where the sealant needs it before sealing.
