External mastic for homes and businesses in Broadford
Ground-floor and low-level joints are straightforward to reach. For joints higher up, give us some details of the building and we’ll confirm what’s needed to reach them safely. We work on render & cladding joints, joints between brick and frames and copings & trims, and common reasons people get in touch are old sealant gone brittle and cracked and joints with sealant missing in places.
In a village or hamlet like Broadford, older cottages and farm buildings often stand in the open, so walls and rooflines take the full force of wind and rain. Gutter joints and wall joints there need a sealant that can flex and stay put.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything is not right with it, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

How we quote for external mastic
There’s no set price list. The quote depends on:
- The number and length of the joints
- Working hours on commercial sites
- The product the joint needs
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.
What to tell us for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- If someone has resealed it before
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Whether it’s a home or a business
There’s no standard price list, as no two jobs are quite the same. Instead, we give you a clear quote for your job. To get started, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
How to look after the new joints
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Point out the joints to other trades
- Look over the joints every year, ideally after winter
- Keep high-pressure jets off the joints
- Have failed joints looked at early
Look over the joints once a year, ideally after winter. Splits, gaps at the edges or plants in the joint are early warning signs.
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.
For landlords and businesses
From a single let to a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Your questions about external mastic in Broadford
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Shalford station?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as householders. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
Can you do external mastic in Broadford?
Yes, Broadford is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, because it fails. We remove every bit of old sealant first, so the new joint bonds to clean surfaces.
When is the sealant fully cured?
Cure times vary by product and the temperature. Before we leave, we will tell you the cure time.
Do you seal joints where cladding meets other materials?
Yes. Joints between dissimilar materials are a big part of external work. We use a flexible sealant suited to both surfaces with primer where required.
Do I have to be there?
It depends on the job. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, and for outside work we’ll agree access with you when we book.
Why do you put foam in the joint first?
Backing rod goes into deeper joints as a matter of course. It controls the depth and stops the sealant bonding to the back, so the joint can move.
Can I do it myself?
Sometimes. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Should I try it myself first?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
External mastic in Broadford: local notes
With historic houses such as Loseley Park (about 1.4 miles west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Broadford as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, 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, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
Rented homes near Shalford station change hands often, and failed wall and movement joints let damp in, so they’re worth checking between tenancies. In the older streets around St Michael, the joints between older walls, newer extensions and the roofline need a sealant that can move. If you look after a building such as Shalford Infant School, larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing.

What else we do in Broadford
Why deal with it now?
A failed movement joint lets water into the wall. Resealing early keeps the job to the joint itself, instead of the wall and finishes around it. In a small place like Broadford, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference.
