External & façade joints in Burntcommon, Surrey
Problem with your movement joints in Burntcommon? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
- Failed seals between different materials
- Rigid filler in a joint that should flex
- Hard, crazed mastic that has stopped moving
How we handle external mastic in Burntcommon
We’re ARBOMaster approved applicators, and each external joint gets a sealant suited to it. Some surfaces need a primer before sealing and we use one wherever it does. If you have brick movement joints where the sealant has split and joints where the bead has come unstuck, we can put it right, on joints between brick and frames, brickwork movement joints and render & cladding joints alike.
Older homes in small places like Burntcommon may be stone, brick or timber-framed, often with later extensions. Where one material meets another is where water normally gets in.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

How to look after the new joints
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Look over the joints every year, ideally after winter
- Act on the first splits you see
- Fix overflowing gutters above sealed joints
- Show decorators and builders where the movement joints are
Keep the joints clear of soil, plants and climbing growth. Damp material against the sealant shortens its life.
Act while the splits are small. At that stage it’s a simple cut out and reseal.
When to call us in Burntcommon
Using the wrong sealant is another common reason. A stiff, general-purpose sealant can’t cope with a joint that moves a lot, so it pulls away from the edges.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Leaking joints around cladding and façade panels
- Water getting into walls through failed joints
- Joints pointed up with cement by mistake
- Movement joints with cracked, split or missing sealant
If you live in an older home near St William of York, old and new materials meet at the roofline and walls, which is where sealant earns its keep.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether VAT is included

What affects the quote in Burntcommon
You will get a clear quote before work begins. It takes into account:
- How many areas need sealing
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- Working hours on commercial sites
- How easy the joints are to reach
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That’s why we ask a few questions first and give you a clear quote before any work starts.
Asking for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just tell us:
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- The rough size of the job
- If someone has resealed it before
Getting a quote is simple: tell us what needs doing and where. A few pictures by email make the job easier to understand, and we’ll take it from there.
When it is not the sealant
We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Movement that’s more than a sealant joint can take
- Damp from another source, such as a leaking gutter or a bridged damp-proof course
- Render that’s blown, hollow or coming away
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Burntcommon: your questions answered
Is Burntcommon within the area you cover?
Yes. Burntcommon is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. 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 Burntcommon?
Yes, Burntcommon is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, every time. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes. All our work carries a 12-month guarantee.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. We’ve worked for hotels, offices and other businesses, and we’re fully insured.
Will it make a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we tidy up before we go.
Will the new joint stand out?
We aim for a joint that suits the wall rather than one that jumps out. We’ll talk through colour options before work begins.
What’s an expansion joint in brickwork?
Brickwork, render and cladding all move a little, and planned joints take up that movement. The gap is sealed with a flexible sealant over backing rod.
Why act early in Burntcommon
Mortar or ordinary filler might look like a quick way to close an open joint, but it locks the joint solid. The movement then cracks the brickwork or render nearby. The correct repair is a flexible sealant with the right backing. Around Burntcommon, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You’ll know the price before we begin.

Advice
Walls and rooflines in Burntcommon
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast. Historic houses like Clandon Park (about 2.4 miles south) are a reminder that the area around Burntcommon has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older brick and stone need a sealant that suits them, at the right joint depth.
Schools such as Send CofE Primary School are buildings too, and movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s. If you let a flat or house near Clandon station, outside joints that have cracked can let damp into a rental, so check them between lets.
