About our external mastic in Brook
On houses, flats and commercial buildings across Brook, we reseal joints in brickwork, render, cladding and façade panels. The preparation is the same whatever the wall: clean joint faces and the right depth. Common call-outs are for sealant that has lost its bond to the brick or render and cracked joints where brick meets render or frames, across concrete & block, brickwork movement joints and joints between brick and frames.
In a village or hamlet like Brook, 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.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

Surface by surface
Cladding and façade panels
Cladding and façade panels are usually separated by sealed joints. Each joint gets a sealant that suits the panel and its movement.
Brickwork movement joints
Vertical joints in long brick walls let the brickwork expand without cracking. They’re resealed over backing rod with a low-modulus sealant in a colour to suit the brick.
What affects the quote in Brook
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- The type of sealant required
- Working hours on commercial sites
- The size of the job
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs, along with when we can work on site. Ask us for a quote and we’ll explain what it covers.
What to tell us for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- The address or postcode of the job
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Photos by email, if that is easy
For external mastic in Brook, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email. Tell us what the problem is and where, and you’ll get a clear quote before we start.
When something else is needed
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- Damp that isn’t coming from the joint
- Render that is blown, hollow or coming away
- Cracked brickwork or render that needs a builder or plasterer
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will say what we think before you book.
What we seal

What happens on the day
There is not much for you to do on the day. Show us the job and we will take it from there. The job generally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the building from start to finish. In a small place like Brook, access is generally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We inspect the joints and agree which need resealing and how they’ll be reached.
- Old sealant and any debris are cut and raked out.
- The joint faces are cleaned and primed where the sealant needs it.
- Backing rod goes in next, setting the depth and keeping the sealant off the back of the joint.
- A flexible exterior sealant is applied and tooled in a colour to suit the wall.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
How to get a quote
It all starts with a short chat. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is, and we will explain how we’d tackle it. Whenever you are ready, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Point out the joints to other trades
- Check external joints each spring
- Act on the first splits you see
- Ask before painting over external sealant
Avoid pressure-washing straight into the joints. A strong jet can damage the edges of the bead and let water in behind.
Water getting behind cladding or render can go unnoticed for a long time. By the time there’s a damp patch, the damage can be well established so early resealing is worth it.

What we are called out for in Brook
Weeds, moss and debris in a joint are a sign the sealant has gone. Roots and dirt hold water against the wall and speed up the damage.
The most common problems we see are:
- Movement joints filled with mortar instead of sealant
- Sealant pulling away from one side of the joint
- Cracked joints where brick meets render or frames
- Movement joints with cracked, split or missing sealant
Around Brook, as everywhere, external mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

What external mastic looks like in Brook
Brook is close to the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. That’s hard on movement joints and outside wall joints, especially on the side facing the sea. London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
If you live in an older home near St. Mary's Church, older walls, gutters and the joints where extensions meet them need a flexible sealant.

FAQs for Brook
Is Brook within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can you do external mastic in Brook?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Brook is part of that. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear price.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we’re part of it.
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.
Which products do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we’ll tell you what we’re using.
Can a movement joint be filled with mortar?
No, not where the gap is a movement joint. Filling it with mortar defeats its purpose, and the wall may crack nearby. A flexible sealant is the right fill.
What colours does the sealant come in?
There’s a good range of exterior colours, including greys, browns, whites and stone tones. We pick the one that suits your wall best.
