External & façade joints in Cornish Hall End, Essex
Sealing brickwork movement joints, render, cladding and façade joints for Cornish Hall End, backed by a one-year guarantee. Ask us for a quote.
- Movement joints filled with mortar instead of sealant
- Old sealant gone brittle and cracked
- Sealant that has lost its bond to the brick or render
Honest limits
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t solve:
- Loose or hollow render, which needs re-rendering
- Walls that need new movement joints cut into them
- Cracking across the wall rather than at a joint

About our external mastic in Cornish Hall End
As ARBOMaster approved applicators, we choose exterior sealants to suit the joint and the surfaces. Some surfaces need a primer before sealing and we use one wherever it does. If you have movement joints with cracked, split or missing sealant and sealant that has lost its bond to the brick or render, we can put it right, on concrete & block, copings & trims and brickwork movement joints alike.
Somewhere as small as Cornish Hall End, homes and farm buildings often face open ground, so walls and rooflines take the full force of wind and rain. Joints on those walls need a sealant that moves with the building and stays in place.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.

Why it’s worth doing now in Cornish Hall End
Sealing over the top of old mastic doesn’t hold for long. The new layer can’t bond properly to old, weathered material, so the old joint is cut out fully first. Older cottages and farmhouses around Cornish Hall End can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Combining jobs into one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits. We’ll send you a clear quote for the lot.

What we do, step by step
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building before we come, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the work takes a few hours for a handful of joints, longer for a whole elevation in most cases. Somewhere as small as Cornish Hall End, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We inspect the joints and agree which need resealing and how they’ll be reached.
- The old mastic and anything lodged in the joint is removed.
- 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.
- A flexible exterior sealant is applied and tooled in a colour to suit the wall.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Mention any tricky access

Common questions in Cornish Hall End
What guarantee comes with external mastic in Cornish Hall End?
All our work, in Cornish Hall End and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Can you do external mastic in Cornish Hall End?
Yes, Cornish Hall End 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, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Can a movement joint be filled with mortar?
No, not if it’s a movement joint. Pointing it stops it working, and the wall may crack nearby. A flexible sealant is the right fill.
What is backing rod for?
The foam is closed-cell backing rod. It stops the sealant going in too deep and bonding to three sides, which would stop it stretching.
How long does the job take?
As a guide, most jobs take a few hours to a few days, depending on the length of joint and the access. Larger jobs naturally take longer.
How long does external mastic last?
There’s no fixed answer: joints on exposed walls or with a lot of movement age sooner. Check them each year and reseal when they split or harden. Every job carries our one-year guarantee.
Where are you based?
We are a Crawley-based firm, with over 20 years’ experience. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
What sealant do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice.
Different surfaces, different methods
Cladding and façade panels
Panels heat up and cool down quickly, so the joint sealant has to cope with frequent movement. We choose the product to suit.
Concrete and blockwork
Big joints in concrete need careful depth control. Backing rod sized to the joint sets it.
Can I do it myself?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
