About our external mastic in Breach
Ground-floor and low-level joints are straightforward to reach. Where joints are higher up, tell us about the building when you get in touch and we’ll confirm what access is needed. If you are dealing with sealant pulling away from one side of the joint and failed seals between different materials, we can help.
In a village or hamlet like Breach, older cottages and farm buildings often stand in the open, where walls and rooflines take the weather head on. Joints on those walls need a sealant that moves with the building and stays in place.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

Your questions about external mastic in Breach
Is Breach within the area you cover?
Yes. Breach is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Is Breach in your area for external mastic?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Breach is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Do you work at height?
It depends on the building. Send us pictures and a rough idea of the height.
Where are you based?
We’re a Crawley-based firm. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. We remove it all first.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before applying anything new.
What is backing rod for?
Backing rod controls the sealant depth and keeps it off the back of the joint. Then the sealant bonds to two faces and can move.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Why deal with it now?
A properly done movement joint is an even line in a colour that suits the wall. A rushed bead with no backing looks untidy and doesn’t last so it’s worth doing right. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Breach, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

Common problems we fix in Breach
Some movement joints have been pointed up with mortar. The joint cannot move, so the wall cracks somewhere else instead.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Rigid filler in a joint that should flex
- Brick movement joints where the sealant has split
- Rain getting behind render or cladding at a joint
- Joints where the bead has come unstuck
For landlords with property near Snowdown station, outside joints that have cracked can let damp into a rental, so check them between lets.
What your quote should include
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- Whether VAT is included
- When the joint can take water or movement
- Whether they’re fully insured
Surface by surface
Brickwork movement joints
People sometimes point up a brick movement joint by mistake. If that’s happened, we rake it out and reseal it properly where it can be done safely.
Copings and trims
A failed coping joint lets water into the top of the wall. Sealing them early saves the wall below.
External mastic in Breach: local notes
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind. Historic houses like Acrise Place (about 3.4 miles south) are a reminder that the area around Breach has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older walls and rooflines need a sealant that moves with them and suits the material.

How it works
Once we’re on site, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. Most jobs then take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the building. Somewhere like Breach needs a little journey planning: 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 look at every joint and agree a colour to suit the wall.
- We take out the old sealant until the faces are sound.
- Backing rod goes in so the sealant can stretch between the two faces.
- We prime the faces where required.
- A low-modulus exterior sealant is gunned in and tooled to a neat finish.
How to prepare
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
Getting a quote
Asking for a quote is easy: tell us what needs doing and where, and roughly how big it is. A few photos by email make the job easier to understand, and we’ll take it from there.
Related advice
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
What sealant work can’t fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Structural movement, which needs a surveyor or engineer
- Walls that need new movement joints cut into them
- Failed render or damaged cladding panels
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think before you book.
