Why it’s worth doing now in Coleman Green
Pointing a movement joint with mortar might seem a neat fix, but it stops the joint moving. The movement then cracks the brickwork or render nearby. The correct repair is a flexible sealant with the right backing. Older cottages and farmhouses around Coleman Green can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That is why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.

External mastic in Coleman Green
For buildings in Coleman Green, we reseal external joints of all kinds, from brick movement joints to cladding panels. The preparation is the same whatever the wall: clean, sound faces and a controlled depth. We work on concrete & block, façade panels and render & cladding joints, and people most often call us about old sealant gone brittle and cracked and plants rooting in failed movement joints.
In a village or hamlet like Coleman Green, older cottages and farm buildings often stand in the open, where walls and rooflines take the weather head on. Gutter joints and wall joints there need a sealant that can flex and stay put.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

How it works
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and clear up. Most jobs take a few hours for a handful of joints, longer for a whole elevation. For a village or hamlet like Coleman Green, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- First, the joints are inspected and the access agreed.
- We cut out the old mastic and rake out anything in the joint.
- The faces are brushed clean and primed where the product requires it.
- Backing rod sized to the joint goes in to set the depth.
- We apply the sealant, tool it and check the whole run.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

Advice
DIY versus a professional finish
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
Outside joints around Coleman Green
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. Historic houses like Shaw's Corner (about 2.5 miles north) are a reminder that the area around Coleman Green has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older walls and rooflines need a sealant that moves with them and suits the material.

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Act on the first splits you see
- Ask before painting over external sealant
- Fix overflowing gutters above sealed joints
- Keep soil, plants and ivy away from the joints
Have a quick look at the joints each spring. Splits, gaps at the edges or plants in the joint are early warning signs.
A joint that has stopped moving pushes the movement elsewhere, often as cracks near the joint. Resealing it early helps prevent that.
Do you need external mastic in Coleman Green?
Sunlight, wet weather and frost wear exterior sealant down. Over the years it hardens, cracks on the surface and loses its give, so the next time the wall moves, it splits or pulls away.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Water getting into walls through failed joints
- Joints pointed up with cement by mistake
- Weathered mastic that no longer stretches
- Sealant pulling away from one side of the joint
Managing a site like Beech Hyde Primary School and Nursery? Then larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing.
