- Joints with sealant missing in places

Signs you need external mastic in Chiddingfold
Buildings move more than people expect. Brickwork grows a little over the years, blockwork and concrete shrink, and all of it moves with heat and moisture. All of that ends up in the joint sealant.
Look out for these signs:
- Cracked joints where brick meets render or frames
- Brick movement joints where the sealant has split
- Rigid filler in a joint that should flex
- Damp patches traced to an open external joint
Letting a property close to Witley station? Then outside joints that have cracked can let damp into a rental, so check them between lets.
Questions to ask before you book
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- How much experience the applicator has
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
About our external mastic in Chiddingfold
On houses, flats and commercial buildings across Chiddingfold, we reseal joints in brickwork, render, cladding and façade panels. Every joint gets the same careful preparation: clean joint faces and the right depth. If you have sealant pulling away from one side of the joint and weeds or debris growing in open joints, we can help, on concrete & block, façade panels and copings & trims alike.
Outside joints can only be sealed when they’re dry, so work in Chiddingfold is booked around the forecast. Let us know about access to every wall, plus any garages or outbuildings.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same 12-month guarantee in Chiddingfold and across Surrey.

FAQs for Chiddingfold
Do you cover Chiddingfold for external mastic?
Yes, Chiddingfold is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and let us know what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Will you come out to Chiddingfold?
Yes, Chiddingfold is covered. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Is it OK to fill a movement joint with cement?
No, not where the gap is a movement joint. Pointing it stops it working. We’ll reseal it with a flexible sealant.
What is backing rod for?
We fit closed-cell backing rod wherever the joint depth needs controlling. It controls the depth and stops the sealant bonding to the back.
Can you seal joints between two different materials?
Yes. Joints between dissimilar materials are a big part of external work. The sealant is chosen to bond to both sides with primer where required.
Is it worth trying it myself?
It depends on the job. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Just the basics: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. Then call 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Do you work for letting agents?
Yes, we do. Domestic, commercial and hotel work are all part of what we do, and we are fully insured.
Aftercare tips
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Act on the first splits you see
- Keep high-pressure jets off the joints
- Keep movement joints as flexible joints, not mortar
- Tell anyone working on the walls about the movement joints
Only paint over the joint if we’ve confirmed the sealant can take paint. Many exterior sealants are not designed to be painted, and paint can crack as the joint moves.
Small splits are the time to act. Then it’s a straightforward cut-out and reseal before water has had years to get in.
What we do, step by step
We work through the job in order: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. Typically it takes a few hours to a few days, depending on the length of joint and the access. Somewhere like Chiddingfold needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We start by checking each joint, agreeing the ones to redo and how we will reach them.
- 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.
- The new sealant, chosen to suit the brick or render, is applied and tooled to a neat finish.
Preparing for the visit
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

Chiddingfold buildings and the weather
The South East is one of 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 Teresa of Avila Church, old and new materials meet at the roofline and walls, which is where sealant earns its keep. Managing a site like St Mary's Church of England Primary School? Then its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again.
Leave it or put it right?
Low-modulus sealants stretch easily, so they put less strain on the joint edges. That protects surfaces like brick, render and concrete. A stiffer product can damage the joint edge as it fails. Older cottages and farmhouses around Chiddingfold can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That’s why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.
