What the job involves on each surface
Concrete and blockwork
Concrete and block walls shrink as they dry and move with temperature. Their movement joints are sealed over backing rod with a flexible sealant.
Cladding and façade panels
Metal and composite panels move a lot with temperature, so the joint sealant has to cope with frequent movement. We choose the product to suit.
How we handle external mastic in Brimpton
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. If you have plants rooting in failed movement joints and joints pointed up with cement by mistake, we can help.
In a village or hamlet like Brimpton, older cottages and farm buildings often stand in the open, so walls and rooflines take the full force of wind and rain. Joints on those walls need a sealant that moves with the building and stays in place.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Questions from Brimpton
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Midgham station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before we start.
Will you come out to Brimpton?
Yes, Brimpton is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
Will the new joint stand out?
The aim is a neat, even joint in a colour that suits the wall. Colour is agreed with you before we begin, matched as closely as the range allows.
How do you reach high-level joints?
Each building is different. Tell us the height, the number of joints and what’s below them.
What’s an expansion joint in brickwork?
Walls move with heat, cold and moisture, so long walls have planned gaps to take that movement. The gap is sealed with a flexible sealant over backing rod.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. We’ve worked for hotels, offices and other businesses.
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.

Keeping the joints in good condition
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep high-pressure jets off the joints
- Never let anyone fill a movement joint with mortar
- Have failed joints looked at early
- Look over the joints every year, ideally after winter
Avoid pressure-washing straight into the joints. High-pressure water can lift the edges.
If you can see gaps, plants or bare sections in a joint, have it checked. Earlier resealing means a smaller job and a better result.
Outside joints around Brimpton
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.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Brimpton C.E. Primary School, larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing. If you live in an older home near Church of St Peter, the joints between older walls, newer extensions and the roofline need a sealant that can move. For landlords with property near Midgham station, outside joints that have cracked can let damp into a rental, so check them between lets.
