How we handle external mastic in Brown Candover
We cut out failed sealant, set the joint depth with closed-cell backing rod and reseal with a low-modulus exterior sealant. The colour is chosen to suit the brick or render. If you are dealing with brick movement joints where the sealant has split and sealant pulling away from one side of the joint, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
External sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work around Brown Candover is planned for dry weather. Tell us about access to all sides of the building, including outbuildings and garages.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

How we quote for external mastic
Jobs vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- Working hours on commercial sites
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Whether the work is at height
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.
Helping us quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
Getting a quote is simple: let us know the job and the location, and roughly how big it is. A few photos by email make the job easier to understand, and we will come back to you with a quote.
DIY versus a professional finish
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
Common problems we fix in Brown Candover
If plants are growing out of a joint, the sealant has usually failed or was never there. Roots and dirt hold water against the wall.
Look out for these signs:
- Failed sealant between panels on a façade
- Rain getting behind render or cladding at a joint
- Old sealant gone brittle and cracked
- Movement joints with cracked, split or missing sealant
Letting a property close to Micheldever station? Then failed wall and movement joints let damp in, so they’re worth checking between tenancies.
Questions to ask before booking
- What happens if the job turns out different
- Which colour the sealant will be
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
- What insurance they hold
The process
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, 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 Brown Candover, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- Each joint is checked and the colour of the new sealant agreed.
- We take out the old sealant until the faces are sound.
- Backing rod goes in so the sealant can stretch between the two faces.
- Primer is applied wherever the sealant needs it.
- A low-modulus exterior sealant is gunned in and tooled to a neat finish.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

Advice
Why act early in Brown Candover
Pointing a movement joint with mortar might seem a neat fix, but it stops the joint moving. The wall then cracks somewhere else. A flexible sealant over backing rod is what the joint needs. In a small place like Brown Candover, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, plus any working-time requirements on site. Call for a quick quote and we will explain what it covers.

Keeping the joints in good condition
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Keep soil, plants and ivy away from the joints
- Check external joints each spring
- Act on the first splits you see
- Make sure movement joints aren’t pointed over
Have a quick look at the joints each spring. Watch for splits, edges coming away or growth in the joint.
Once a joint cannot move, the wall finds another way, often as cracks near the joint. Resealing it early helps prevent that.
