How we handle external mastic in Busbridge
As ARBOMaster approved applicators, we choose exterior sealants to suit the joint and the surfaces. Some surfaces need a primer before sealing and we use one wherever it does. Common call-outs are for failed seals between different materials and plants rooting in failed movement joints, on concrete & block, render & cladding joints and façade panels.
Older homes in small places like Busbridge may be stone, brick or timber-framed, often with later extensions. Where one material meets another is where water generally gets in.
Every job is covered by our one-year guarantee.

How it works
On the day, we start by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. We protect the surfaces around the joints before we start. Most jobs take a few hours for a handful of joints, longer for a whole elevation. In a small place like Busbridge, access is usually the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We start by walking round the building and agreeing the joints and the access.
- Every bit of old sealant and any mortar or debris is cut out.
- The faces are brushed clean and primed where the product requires it.
- We fit closed-cell backing rod to control the depth.
- We apply the sealant, tool it and check the whole run.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any water getting in
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on

How the job changes by surface
Render joints
The face of render can be soft, so a low-modulus sealant is kinder to the joint edges. We prime where the product needs it.
Brickwork movement joints
People sometimes point up a brick movement joint by mistake. Where one has been mortared, we cut it out and reseal it with sealant where it can be done safely.
What happens if it’s left?
Done well, a resealed joint is a neat, straight line that suits the wall. A rushed bead with no backing looks untidy and does not last. Around Busbridge, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
We don’t show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote.

Looking after it afterwards
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Check external joints each spring
- Point out the joints to other trades
- Do not let climbing plants root in the sealant
- Ask before painting over external sealant
Avoid pressure-washing straight into the joints. High-pressure water can lift the edges over time.
Act while the splits are small. At that stage it’s a simple cut out and reseal with no damage behind it to deal with.
What external mastic looks like in Busbridge
Historic houses like Loseley Park (about 2.7 miles north) are a reminder that the area around Busbridge 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. 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.
For an older house near a landmark such as St John the Baptist Church, older walls, gutters and the joints where extensions meet them need a flexible sealant. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Busbridge Infant School, movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s. For landlords with property near Godalming station, outside joints that have cracked can let damp into a rental, so check them between lets.

Busbridge questions
I let a flat near Godalming station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Is Busbridge within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, and we have been doing sealant work for more than 20 years.
Do you use backing rod?
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.
Will it make a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Do the sealants smell?
It depends on the product. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little, and any smell fades as they cure.
When is the sealant fully cured?
Many sealants skin over quickly but take longer to cure fully. We will give you the cure time for the product we used.
Do you seal joints where cladding meets other materials?
Yes. Materials like render, brick, metal and uPVC all move differently, so the joint between them must be flexible. The sealant is matched to both sides.
Honest limits
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:
- Cracking across the wall rather than at a joint
- Adding movement joints to masonry that has none
- Movement that’s more than a sealant joint can take
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer.
