Walls and rooflines in Denvilles
Denvilles is within about 1 mile of the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. Both are hard on movement joints and outside wall joints, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. With historic houses such as Warblington Castle (about 0.7 miles south) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Denvilles as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older walls and rooflines need a sealant that moves with them and suits the material.
If you live in an older home near St Thomas à Becket Church, older walls, gutters and the joints where extensions meet them need a flexible sealant. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Warblington School, movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s.

Common problems we fix in Denvilles
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.
People generally contact us after spotting one of these:
- Movement joints filled with mortar instead of sealant
- Brick movement joints where the sealant has split
- Weathered mastic that no longer stretches
- Leaking joints around cladding and façade panels
Rented homes near Warblington station change hands often, and split movement joints are easy to miss on a rental until damp shows inside.

Common questions in Denvilles
Does the coastal weather in Denvilles affect outside sealant?
Coastal weather is harder on outside sealant: there’s more wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt in the air. The right product, a clean joint and the right depth all help it cope.
Will you come out to Denvilles?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can a movement joint be filled with mortar?
No. Rigid materials cannot move with the wall, so the joint stops doing its job. Where a joint has been mortared, it can often be raked out and sealed properly.
When is the sealant fully cured?
Most sealants are touch-dry well before they’re fully cured. We’ll give you the cure time for the product we used.
Can landlords and businesses book you?
Yes. We work for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, businesses and hotels in Denvilles.
How often do external joints need resealing?
It varies from wall to wall: joints on exposed walls or with a lot of movement age sooner. Check them each year and reseal when they split or harden. Our work comes with a one-year guarantee.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. We remove every bit of old sealant first.
How do you reach high-level joints?
It depends on the height and the site. Low-level joints are straightforward; for higher ones, send details and we’ll confirm the access.
Why it’s worth doing now in Denvilles
The longer a joint stays open, the more water the wall takes in. Wet masonry is more easily damaged by frost near the open joint, so the damage spreads beyond the joint. In an older home around Denvilles, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, and that is a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.

What sealant work cannot fix
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t solve:
- Rising or penetrating damp from elsewhere in the wall
- Cracked brickwork or render that needs a builder or plasterer
- Subsidence or other structural problems
If you’re not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you a straight answer.

How we quote for external mastic
Call for a quick quote. What matters most is:
- Working hours on commercial sites
- Which sealant suits the joint
- The size of the job
- How many areas need sealing
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
Helping us quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to know:
- How we’d reach the joints
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- The rough size of the job
- Whether it has been sealed before
It all starts with a short chat. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is. When it suits you, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Aftercare tips
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Do not let climbing plants root in the sealant
- Leave the joints unpainted unless we’ve said otherwise
- Fix overflowing gutters above sealed joints
- Check external joints each spring
Make sure anyone working on the wall later knows where the movement joints are. They should be kept open and resealed, not filled.
Act while the splits are small. At that stage it’s a simple cut out and reseal before water has had years to get in.
The process
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. All told, the work takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the building. In a smaller place like Denvilles, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- We start by walking round the building and agreeing the joints and the access.
- Every bit of old sealant and any mortar or debris is cut out.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

DIY versus a professional finish
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
