Questions from Churt
Do you cover Churt for external mastic?
Yes, Churt is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.
I let a flat near Haslemere station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Is it OK to fill a movement joint with cement?
No. Mortar locks the joint solid, so the movement cracks the wall elsewhere. Use a flexible sealant with backing rod.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. It all has to come out first.
How do I get a quote for external mastic in Churt?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. You’ll get a clear quote before any work starts.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. We can plan bigger jobs in stages to suit the site.
Which products do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we’ll explain our choice.
Will it make a mess?
Not at all. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
External mastic in Churt, done properly
Movement joints let brickwork, render and cladding expand and shrink without cracking. Its sealant has to flex with the building, season after season, and when it fails, the wall takes the strain and water finds a way in. If you’re dealing with leaking joints around cladding and façade panels and joints with sealant missing in places, we can help.
Older homes in small places like Churt may be stone, brick or timber-framed, often with later extensions. The joints where those materials meet are the weak points.

What else we do in Churt
How to look after the new joints
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Deal with leaking gutters that soak the joints below
- Leave the joints unpainted unless we have said otherwise
- Look over the joints every year, ideally after winter
- Keep movement joints as flexible joints, not mortar
Look over the joints once a year, ideally after winter. Splits, gaps at the edges or plants in the joint are early warning signs.
Leave a failed movement joint and water keeps getting into the wall. Over time it can mean damp inside, stained render or frost-damaged brick.
Should I try it myself first?
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
What happens if it’s left?
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. A flexible sealant over backing rod is what the joint needs. Older cottages and farmhouses around Churt can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Combining jobs into one visit is generally more efficient than separate visits. We will send you a clear quote for the lot.

Quotes for external mastic in Churt
For a quick quote, just ask. The main things that affect it are:
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove

Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

The process
We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. For most jobs that takes a few hours to a few days, depending on the length of joint and the access and we leave things clean and tidy. Somewhere as small as Churt, 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.
- Closed-cell backing rod is pushed in so the sealant bonds to two sides only.
- Primer is applied wherever the sealant needs it.
- We gun in low-modulus sealant and tool it neatly.
How to prepare
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

Surface by surface
Render joints
Cracks along render joints let water in behind the coat. A sound joint keeps the render dry behind and protects the render itself.
Brickwork movement joints
Brick moves with heat and moisture, and grows a little over time. The movement joint takes that up, so the sealant in it must stay soft and stretchy.
