What information do you need?
Just the basics: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. After that, simply phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Do you work at height?
It depends on the building. We work on joints that can be reached safely. Tell us about the building and we will confirm what access is needed.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, it will not last. It may look fine at first, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. The old sealant has to come out completely.

Yes, regularly. We can quote for several properties at once, and between tenancies is a good time for the work.
External mastic in Broad Oak: local notes
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. Historic houses like Great Dixter (about 3.3 miles north) are a reminder that the area around Broad Oak 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.
Letting a property close to Doleham station? Then split movement joints are easy to miss on a rental until damp shows inside. Managing a site like Brede Primary School? Then its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s.

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 the joint depth matters as much as the 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.
What affects the quote in Broad Oak
You’ll get a clear quote before any work starts. It takes into account:
- How many areas need sealing
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- Working hours on commercial sites
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us for an honest opinion and a quote.
Helping us quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- Whether it has been sealed before
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
It all starts with a short chat. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is, and we’ll talk you through what we’d do. When it suits you, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
What the job involves on each surface
Concrete and blockwork
Wide joints in concrete need the depth controlling carefully. We size the backing rod to the gap and keep the sealant to the right depth.
Copings and trims
Metal and stone copings both move with temperature, so a flexible sealant suits them best.
Why deal with it now?
A failed movement joint lets water into the wall, behind render and cladding. Resealing early keeps the job to the joint itself, instead of the wall and finishes around it. Around Broad Oak, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.

Signs you need external mastic in Broad Oak
Sunlight, wet weather and frost wear exterior sealant down. Over the years it hardens, cracks on the surface and loses its give, so the joint eventually tears or comes away from one side.
The most common problems we see are:
- Movement joints with cracked, split or missing sealant
- Gaps where render, brick and frames meet
- Movement joints filled with mortar instead of sealant
- Damp patches traced to an open external joint
Homes close to The Parish Church of St George include some older properties, and old and new materials meet at the roofline and walls, which is where sealant earns its keep.

The process
Every visit runs the same way: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and tidy away. Most jobs take a few hours to a few days, depending on the length of joint and the access. Somewhere as small as Broad Oak, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We start by walking round the building and agreeing the joints and the access.
- Every bit of old sealant and any mortar or debris is cut out.
- Joint faces are cleaned back and primed if the sealant needs it.
- We fit closed-cell backing rod to control the depth.
- The exterior sealant is applied, tooled and checked along its length.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
