Walls and rooflines in Coldred
Historic houses like Goodnestone Park (about 4.6 miles north) are a reminder that the area around Coldred has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older brick and stone need a sealant that suits them, at the right joint depth. Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
For landlords with property near Shepherds Well station, failed wall and movement joints let damp in, so they’re worth checking between tenancies. Managing a site like Lydden Primary School? Then its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s. Homes close to Church of St Pancras include some older properties, and old and new materials meet at the roofline and walls, which is where sealant earns its keep.

How it works
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it usually takes a few hours for a handful of joints, longer for a whole elevation. In a small place like Coldred, access is normally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We look at every joint and agree a colour to suit the wall.
- Failed sealant is removed back to clean, sound faces.
- Backing rod goes in so the sealant can stretch between the two faces.
- Primer is applied wherever the sealant needs it.
- A low-modulus exterior sealant is gunned in and tooled to a neat finish.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Move anything stored near the joints

Coldred questions
Do you cover Coldred for external mastic?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Coldred is part of that. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.
Do you work for landlords with property near Shepherds Well station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Where do you work from?
Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. Our applicators cover Coldred, along with the rest of our area.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
When will the joints need doing again?
There’s no fixed answer: sunny, exposed elevations and busy joints wear faster. Check them each year and reseal when they split or harden. Every job carries our 12-month guarantee.
Is it messy?
No. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Can I do 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 is backing rod for?
The foam is closed-cell backing rod. It keeps the sealant at the right depth and bonded to the sides only so it can flex with the joint.
How to look after the new joints
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Leave the joints unpainted unless we have said otherwise
- Clear growth from the base of walls and joints
- Avoid pressure-washing directly into sealant joints
- Point out the joints to other trades
Give the sealant the cure time we tell you before anything rubs against it. Most exterior sealants skin fast but take longer to cure right through.
Water getting behind cladding or render can go unnoticed for a long time. When it finally shows inside, the joint may have been open for years, so it’s worth resealing at the first signs.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
Should I try it myself first?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
If you are 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.
What affects the cost of external mastic
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Whether the work is at height
- Any working-time requirements on site
- The number of rooms or windows
Combining jobs into one visit is normally more efficient than separate visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.
Helping us quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Try to tell us:
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Where the property is
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Whether it’s a home or a business
Every job is quoted individually, so start by telling us what you need. Simply ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and describe the job.
Why it’s worth doing now in Coldred
Done well, a resealed joint is a neat, straight line that suits the wall. A hurried job with smeared edges and no backing looks worse and fails sooner, so it pays to do it properly once. Older cottages and farmhouses around Coldred can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
We don’t show prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a quick quote, please call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll talk you through it.
