External mastic in Bramley
Getting the depth right is half the job. Backing rod controls how deep the sealant goes and keeps it off the back of the joint, leaving it bonded to two faces so it can move with the wall. Typical jobs include water getting into walls through failed joints and cracked joints where brick meets render or frames, across concrete & block, brickwork movement joints and render & cladding joints.
In and around Bramley, older properties sit alongside newer ones, each with its own outside joints. Older homes need their gutter and trim joints kept tight, newer ones their movement joints.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

What external mastic looks like in Bramley
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast. With historic houses such as Chilworth Manor (about 2.1 miles north-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Bramley as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older brick and stone need a sealant that suits them, at the right joint depth.
In the older streets around The Church of Holy Trinity, old and new materials meet at the roofline and walls, which is where sealant earns its keep. Letting a property close to Shalford station? Then split movement joints are easy to miss on a rental until damp shows inside.

When something else is needed
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:
- Cracking across the wall rather than at a joint
- Movement that’s more than a sealant joint can take
- Rising or penetrating damp from elsewhere in the wall

Bramley: your questions answered
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Shalford station?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders, and several properties can go on one quote. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Will you come out to Bramley?
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 ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We are an ARBOMaster approved applicator, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We are a Crawley-based firm. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
What colours does the sealant come in?
The aim is a neat, even joint in a colour that suits the wall. Colour is agreed with you before we begin.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. More than one area can go on one quote.
Is it worth trying it myself?
It depends on the job. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.

When to call us in Bramley
Every building moves. Brickwork grows a little over the years, blockwork and concrete shrink, and all of it moves with heat and moisture. The sealant in the movement joints takes that strain.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Brick movement joints where the sealant has split
- Damp patches traced to an open external joint
- Plants rooting in failed movement joints
- Rigid filler in a joint that should flex
Schools such as St Catherine's School are buildings too, and its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s.
What to look for in a quote
- Is VAT in the price?
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- What guarantee comes with the work
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
Can I do it myself?
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
The process
All our tools and materials come with us in the van. After a quick look at the joints together, the area is protected and the work begins. Most jobs take a few hours to a few days, depending on the length of joint and the access. Parking around Bramley is normally easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- First we look over the joints with you, agree which to renew and talk through access.
- Old sealant and any debris are cut and raked out.
- The joint faces are cleaned and primed where the sealant needs it.
- Backing rod goes in next, setting the depth and keeping the sealant off the back of the joint.
- We gun in a flexible exterior sealant in a colour that suits the wall and tool it neatly.
How to prepare
- Mention any tricky access
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

Different surfaces, different methods
Cladding and façade panels
Cladding and façade panels are generally separated by sealed joints. We reseal them with a sealant suited to the panel material.
Joints between dissimilar materials
Wherever two materials meet, they move differently. We seal the joint with a flexible exterior sealant so the movement is taken up.
