About our external mastic in Bull's Green
Ground-floor and low-level joints are straightforward to reach. For joints higher up, give us some details of the building and we will confirm what access is needed. We work on façade panels, brickwork movement joints and joints between brick and frames, and the jobs we see most are joints where the bead has come unstuck and gaps where render, brick and frames meet.
Somewhere as small as Bull's Green, homes and farm buildings often face open ground, where walls and rooflines take the weather head on. Joints on those walls need a sealant that moves with the building and stays in place.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Bull's Green as everywhere else we work.

What else we do in Bull's Green
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Outside joints around Bull's Green
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day. With historic houses such as Digswell House (about 2.6 miles south-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Bull's Green as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older walls and rooflines need a sealant that moves with them and suits the material.
If you let a flat or house near Welwyn North station, failed wall and movement joints let damp in, so they’re worth checking between tenancies.

How the job changes by surface
Joints between dissimilar materials
Each side of the joint may need its own preparation. Both surfaces are cleaned and primed as the product requires.
Copings and trims
A failed coping joint lets water into the top of the wall. Resealing them is a small job that protects a lot.
How the visit works
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it usually takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the building. In a small place like Bull's Green, access is normally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We look at every joint and agree a colour to suit the wall.
- We take out the old sealant until the faces are sound.
- Backing rod goes in so the sealant can stretch between the two faces.
- We prime the faces where required.
- We gun in low-modulus sealant and tool it neatly.
How to prepare
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Tell us about any water getting in

What we are called out for in Bull's Green
Joints sealed without backing rod, or far too deep, rarely last. If the sealant sticks to the back as well as the sides, it cannot stretch and tears as soon as the joint widens.
Look out for these signs:
- Old sealant gone brittle and cracked
- Weeds or debris growing in open joints
- Leaking joints around cladding and façade panels
- Failed seals between different materials
Historic houses such as Digswell House, about 2.6 miles south-west, show how far back building around Bull's Green goes.
Before you book anyone
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- Whether they’re fully insured
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
How to look after the new joints
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Keep soil, plants and ivy away from the joints
- Keep water from gutters off the wall
- Check external joints each spring
- Check the sealant is paintable before painting near it
Look over the joints once a year, ideally after winter. Splits, gaps at the edges or plants in the joint are early warning signs.
A joint that has stopped moving pushes the movement elsewhere, often as cracks near the joint. Catch it early and you reduce the risk.
Your questions about external mastic in Bull's Green
Do you cover Bull's Green for external mastic?
Yes, Bull's Green is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing.
Is Bull's Green within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Why is there a gap in my brick wall?
Brickwork, render and cladding all move a little, so long walls have planned gaps to take that movement. The gap is sealed with a flexible sealant over backing rod.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Our base is Crawley, with over 20 years’ experience. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured.
Can a movement joint be filled with mortar?
No. Cement or mortar cannot stretch, so the joint stops doing its job. Where a joint has been mortared, it can often be raked out and sealed properly.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We’re ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
What should I tell you?
Just the basics: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. Then call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
When something else is needed
In fairness, some problems need a different trade:
- Render that’s blown, hollow or coming away
- Damp that is not coming from the joint
- Cracked brickwork or render that needs a builder or plasterer
If you are not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer.
