Outside joints around Brightwell Baldwin

With historic houses such as Adwell House (about 4 miles north-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Brightwell Baldwin as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older brick and stone need a sealant that suits them, at the right joint depth. 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.

For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Bartholomew, older walls, gutters and the joints where extensions meet them need a flexible sealant.

About our external mastic in Brightwell Baldwin

Ground-floor and low-level joints are straightforward to reach. For joints higher up, give us some details of the building and we will confirm what access is needed. Typical jobs include failed seals between different materials and weeds or debris growing in open joints, across brickwork movement joints, joints between brick and frames and concrete & block.

Outside joints can only be sealed when they’re dry, so work in Brightwell Baldwin is booked around the forecast. Let us know about access to every wall, plus any garages or outbuildings.

Our work is backed for twelve months.

Honest limits

Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:

  • Structural movement, which needs a surveyor or engineer
  • Loose or hollow render, which needs re-rendering
  • Damp from another source, such as a leaking gutter or a bridged damp-proof course

Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Where we work in Brightwell Baldwin

  • Concrete & block
  • Render & cladding joints
  • Copings & trims
  • Joints between brick and frames
  • Brickwork movement joints
  • Façade panels

What the job involves on each surface

Brickwork movement joints

Brick moves with heat and moisture, and grows a little over time. The movement joint takes that up, so the sealant in it must stay soft and stretchy.

Concrete and blockwork

The face of concrete or block is often dusty, so cleaning and priming matter. We prime where the sealant needs it before the bead.

Leave it or put it right?

Resealing a run of joints in one go is usually better than patching one at a time. Joints of the same age tend to fail together, and access only has to be arranged once. Older cottages and farmhouses around Brightwell Baldwin can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.

No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part, and we will explain the quote if you ask.

How it works

You don’t need to clear the whole room or building before we come, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the job takes a few hours for a handful of joints, longer for a whole elevation in most cases. For a village or hamlet like Brightwell Baldwin, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.

  1. We look at every joint and agree a colour to suit the wall.
  2. Failed sealant is removed back to clean, sound faces.
  3. Closed-cell backing rod is pushed in so the sealant bonds to two sides only.
  4. Primer is applied wherever the sealant needs it.
  5. We gun in low-modulus sealant and tool it neatly.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
  • For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
  • Clear the area around the work

When to call us in Brightwell Baldwin

Weeds, moss and debris in a joint are a sign the sealant has gone. Roots and dirt hold water against the wall and make things worse.

Common reasons people contact us are:

  • Damp patches traced to an open external joint
  • Joints where the bead has come unstuck
  • Weathered mastic that no longer stretches
  • Failed sealant between panels on a façade

If you look after a building such as Icknield Community College, movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s.

Your questions about external mastic in Brightwell Baldwin

Will you come out to Brightwell Baldwin?

Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.

Do you cover Brightwell Baldwin for external mastic?

Yes, Brightwell Baldwin is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.

Are you an approved applicator?

Yes. We’re an ARBOMaster approved applicator, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.

Is it OK to seal over old sealant?

No. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, and it traps any mould or water underneath. We remove it all first.

Do you take out the old sealant first?

Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint.

Will the new joint stand out?

We aim for a joint that suits the wall rather than one that jumps out. We will talk through colour options before any work starts from the range available.

Can landlords and businesses book you?

Yes. We work for householders, landlords, letting agents, businesses and hotels.

Is there any odour?

Some sealants have a smell while they cure, which fades as it sets. Opening a window helps.

DIY versus a professional finish

If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.

The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
