We work on concrete & block, brickwork movement joints and façade panels, and people most often call us about weeds or debris growing in open joints and leaking joints around cladding and façade panels.
Outside joints can only be sealed when they’re dry, so work in Cliffe Woods is booked around the forecast. Tell us about access to all sides of the building, including outbuildings and garages.

Outside joints around Cliffe Woods
Cliffe Woods is close to the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. That’s hard on movement joints and outside wall joints, especially on the side facing the sea. With historic houses such as Temple Manor (about 3.1 miles south) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Cliffe Woods as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older brick and stone need a sealant that suits them, at the right joint depth.
Historic houses such as Temple Manor, about 3.1 miles south, show how far back building around Cliffe Woods goes. Managing a site like Cliffe Woods Primary School? Then its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s.

More services for Cliffe Woods
Do you need external mastic in Cliffe Woods?
Every building moves. Clay bricks expand slightly over their life, concrete and block shrink, and everything moves with temperature and wet. The sealant in the movement joints takes that strain.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Water getting into walls through failed joints
- Joints where the bead has come unstuck
- Movement joints with cracked, split or missing sealant
- Weathered mastic that no longer stretches
Letting a property close to Higham station? Then split movement joints are easy to miss on a rental until damp shows inside.
Before booking anyone
- Are they insured?
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- How much experience the applicator has
Can I do it myself?
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Honest limits
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:
- Rising or penetrating damp from elsewhere in the wall
- Failed render or damaged cladding panels
- Structural movement, which needs a surveyor or engineer
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer.
Joints and surfaces we work on

For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Tell us the address, the job and how access works.
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room. We have worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
Leave it or put it right?
Sealing over the top of old mastic doesn’t hold for long. The new layer can’t bond properly to old, weathered material, so we always take the old sealant out. Older cottages and farmhouses around Cliffe Woods can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. You will have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.

How long does external mastic take?
Most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the building, including the preparation. We’ll confirm how long when we quote.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Only a few details: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. Then phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Do you work at height?
It depends on the building. Tell us the height, the number of joints and what’s below them, and we’ll confirm what access is needed.
How often do external joints need resealing?
It varies with how exposed the wall is and how much the joint moves. Signs to watch for are cracking, hardening and gaps at the edges and have them redone then.
Can I do it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator and we’re fully insured too.
Different surfaces, different methods
Concrete and blockwork
Wide joints in concrete need the depth controlling carefully. We size the backing rod to the gap.
Joints between dissimilar materials
Brick against render, concrete against metal, stone against timber: every change of material is a joint. We seal the joint with a flexible exterior sealant so neither cracks the other.
