External mastic in Curling Tye Green
A movement joint is a deliberate break that lets a wall expand and contract. The sealant in it has to stretch and squeeze for years, and when it fails, the wall takes the strain and water finds a way in. We work on copings & trims, joints between brick and frames and brickwork movement joints, and the jobs we see most are movement joints filled with mortar instead of sealant and sealant pulling away from one side of the joint.
External sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work around Curling Tye Green is planned for dry weather. Let us know about access to every wall, plus any garages or outbuildings.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Should I try it myself first?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
Curling Tye Green buildings and the weather
Curling Tye Green is within about 3 miles of the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. That’s hard on movement joints and outside wall joints, especially on the side facing the sea. Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
Schools such as Plume School are buildings too, and movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s. For landlords with property near Hatfield Peverel station, failed wall and movement joints let damp in, so they’re worth checking between tenancies.

Quotes for external mastic in Curling Tye Green
Every job gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- The product the joint needs
- Any working-time requirements on site
- Whether the work is at height
- The old material and how stubborn it is
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you an honest view and a quote.
What to tell us for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- If someone has resealed it before
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
For external mastic in Curling Tye Green, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email. Tell us what the problem is and where, and we’ll agree the price before any work begins.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Keep water from gutters off the wall
- Keep high-pressure jets off the joints
- Tell anyone working on the walls about the movement joints
- Act on the first splits you see
Keep the joints clear of soil, plants and climbing growth. Damp material against the sealant shortens its life.
A joint that has stopped moving pushes the movement elsewhere, often as cracks near the joint. Resealing it early helps prevent that.
When to call us in Curling Tye Green
A lot of failed joints come down to preparation: dusty or wet faces, no primer where one was needed, or old sealant left in. The sealant never bonds properly.
The most common problems we see are:
- Failed sealant between panels on a façade
- Hard, crazed mastic that has stopped moving
- Rain getting behind render or cladding at a joint
- Movement joints filled with mortar instead of sealant
If you live in an older home near Church of St Michael, an extension built onto an older house moves differently, and the joint between them takes the strain.
What your quote should include
- Which colour the sealant will be
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
How the visit works
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so there’s nothing for you to buy. Once we’ve agreed what’s being done, we protect the area and start. It normally takes a few hours for a handful of joints, longer for a whole elevation. Somewhere as small as Curling Tye Green, 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.
- Both sides are cleaned back to sound material and primed if needed.
- Backing rod goes in next, setting the depth and keeping the sealant off the back of the joint.
- The new sealant, chosen to suit the brick or render, is applied and tooled to a neat finish.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

Surface by surface
Concrete and blockwork
Concrete faces can be dusty and porous, so preparation is key. We prime where the sealant needs it before sealing.
Copings and trims
Joints in copings, parapets and trims are exposed to the worst of the weather. We reseal them with an exterior sealant suited to the material.
FAQs for Curling Tye Green
Is Curling Tye Green within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you work for landlords with property near Hatfield Peverel station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we will send you a clear quote.
How long does the job take?
Most jobs take a few hours for a handful of joints, longer for a whole elevation, including the preparation. We’ll confirm how long when we quote.
What is a movement joint?
Brickwork, render and cladding all move a little, and planned joints take up that movement. The gap is sealed with a flexible sealant over backing rod.
Why do you put foam in the joint first?
The foam is closed-cell backing rod. It stops the sealant going in too deep and bonding to three sides so it can flex with the joint.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status, and we are fully insured.
When will the joints need doing again?
It varies with how exposed the wall is and how much the joint moves. Look for splits, hardening or edges coming away, and reseal at that point.
Does someone need to be in?
We need access to the joints, so we’ll agree that with you when we book. Indoors, that usually means someone at home.
