External mastic in Cranbourne, done properly
A movement joint is a deliberate break that lets a wall expand and contract. 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. We work on concrete & block, brickwork movement joints and render & cladding joints, and the jobs we see most are weeds or debris growing in open joints and cracked joints where brick meets render or frames.
In a village or hamlet like Cranbourne, older cottages and farm buildings often stand in the open, 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.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.

Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
Hotels need rooms back in use, so the work can be planned room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
Keeping the joints in good condition
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Deal with leaking gutters that soak the joints below
- Check external joints each spring
- Show decorators and builders where the movement joints are
- Keep high-pressure jets off the joints
Don’t let soil, plants or ivy build up against the new joints. Damp material against the sealant shortens its life.
If you can see gaps, plants or bare sections in a joint, have it checked. Earlier resealing means a smaller job and a better result.

External mastic in Cranbourne: local notes
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day. Historic houses like St Leonard's Hill (about 1.5 miles north-east) are a reminder that the area around Cranbourne has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older brick and stone need a sealant that suits them, at the right joint depth.
Schools such as Cranbourne Primary School are buildings too, and movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s. Letting a property close to Ascot station? Then failed wall and movement joints let damp in, so they’re worth checking between tenancies. In the older streets around Church of St Peter, older walls, gutters and the joints where extensions meet them need a flexible sealant.

Different surfaces, different methods
Cladding and façade panels
If the façade has a specified sealant, that’s what we use. Tell us what the building has when you get in touch.
Concrete and blockwork
Wide joints in concrete need the depth controlling carefully. We size the backing rod to the gap and keep the sealant to the right depth.
Questions from Cranbourne
Will you come out to Cranbourne?
Yes, Cranbourne is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you cover Cranbourne for external mastic?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Cranbourne is part of that. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear price.
Why do you put foam in the joint first?
Backing rod controls the sealant depth and keeps it off the back of the joint. That way it bonds to the two sides only and can stretch.
Can landlords and businesses book you?
Yes. As well as householders, we work for landlords, agents, businesses and hotels.
Which products do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, picked for each joint. We’ll tell you what we’re using and why.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to the joints, so we’ll agree that with you when we book. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. We work in offices, washrooms, hotels and other commercial premises. We can talk about working times when we quote.
Can you match the colour of my brickwork?
There’s a good range of exterior colours, including greys, browns, whites and stone tones. We choose the closest to your brick or render.
Should I try it myself first?
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
What we do, step by step
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Surfaces next to the work are protected before work begins. The work generally takes a few hours for a handful of joints, longer for a whole elevation. Somewhere as small as Cranbourne, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First, the joints are inspected and the access agreed.
- Every bit of old sealant and any mortar or debris is cut out.
- Joint faces are cleaned back and primed if the sealant needs it.
- Backing rod sized to the joint goes in to set the depth.
- The exterior sealant is applied, tooled and checked along its length.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
How to get a quote

Why it’s worth doing now in Cranbourne
It often makes sense to reseal all the failing joints on an elevation together. They’ve weathered the same way and it means sorting access once. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Cranbourne, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You will know the price before we begin.
