External mastic in Delly End, done properly
A movement joint is only as good as its depth. Closed-cell backing rod sets the depth and stops the sealant sticking to the back, so it bonds to the two sides only and can stretch. We work on concrete & block, joints between brick and frames and façade panels, and the jobs we see most are movement joints with cracked, split or missing sealant and failed sealant between panels on a façade.
External sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work around Delly End is planned for dry weather. Let us know about access to every wall, plus any garages or outbuildings.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

What else we do in Delly End
What affects the cost of external mastic
There’s no set price list. The quote depends on:
- The product the joint needs
- When we can work, for business premises
- Whether the work is at height
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part.
What we need to know
To help us quote quickly, let us know:
- Whether it has been sealed before
- How we’d reach the joints
- The rough size of the job
- The type of property
Every job is quoted individually, so the first step is telling us about yours. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details and send photos if you have them.
The process
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Show us the job and we’ll take it from there. The job generally takes a few hours for a handful of joints, longer for a whole elevation. Somewhere like Delly End needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We look at every joint and agree a colour to suit the wall.
- Failed sealant is removed back to clean, sound faces.
- Closed-cell backing rod is pushed in so the sealant bonds to two sides only.
- 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
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Clear the area around the work

Outside joints around Delly End
With historic houses such as Minster Lovell Hall (about 2.2 miles south-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Delly End as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older brick and stone need a sealant that suits them, at the right joint depth. London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
For landlords with property near Finstock station, outside joints that have cracked can let damp into a rental, so check them between lets. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Hailey Church of England Primary School, its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s.

When to call us in Delly End
Weeds, moss and debris in a joint are a sign the sealant has gone. Roots and dirt hold water against the wall.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Leaking joints around cladding and façade panels
- Sealant pulling away from one side of the joint
- Movement joints filled with mortar instead of sealant
- Failed seals between different materials
Homes close to Church of St John the Evangelist include some older properties, and an extension built onto an older house moves differently, and the joint between them takes the strain.
What your quote should include
- Whether you can choose the colour
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
Why deal with it now?
The longer a joint stays open, the more water the wall takes in. In cold weather, frost can damage wet brick and render, so the problem grows beyond the joint itself. Older cottages and farmhouses around Delly End can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
Why Delly End customers choose us
- A 12-month guarantee on all work
- Homes, businesses and hotels
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over
- An ARBOMaster approved applicator

What sealant work cannot fix
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- Cutting new joints into brickwork, which is building work rather than sealant work
- Render that’s blown, hollow or coming away
- Damp that isn’t coming from the joint
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.

Aftercare tips
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Make sure movement joints are not pointed over
- Act on the first splits you see
- Show decorators and builders where the movement joints are
- Clear growth from the base of walls and joints
Avoid pressure-washing straight into the joints. A strong jet can damage the edges of the bead.
Water getting behind cladding or render can go unnoticed for a long time. By the time there’s a damp patch, the damage can be well established.
