External mastic in East Farleigh, done properly
Low-level joints can generally be done from the ground. For joints higher up, give us some details of the building and we will confirm what’s needed to reach them safely. We are often asked to deal with rain getting behind render or cladding at a joint and gaps where render, brick and frames meet, across concrete & block, brickwork movement joints and render & cladding joints.
External sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work around East Farleigh is planned for dry weather. Tell us about access to all sides of the building, including outbuildings and garages.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Damp from another source, such as a leaking gutter or a bridged damp-proof course

What else we do in East Farleigh
Why act early in East Farleigh
Done well, a resealed joint is a neat, straight line that suits the wall. A hurried job with smeared edges and no backing looks worse and fails sooner, so it pays to do it properly once. In a small place like East Farleigh, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Doing several joints on one visit usually makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We will give you a clear quote for the lot.
Why book with us
- White, clear, grey or coloured to suit, where the product allows
- Every job guaranteed for a year
- A sealant colour to suit the surroundings

How the visit works
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, protect the area around them, do the work and clear up. Most jobs take a few hours to a few days, depending on the length of joint and the access. For a village or hamlet like East Farleigh, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We inspect the joints and agree which need resealing and how they’ll be reached.
- Old sealant and any debris are cut and raked out.
- We clean both faces of the joint and prime them where the product calls for it.
- Closed-cell backing rod is fitted to set the depth and stop three-sided bonding.
- A flexible exterior sealant is applied and tooled in a colour to suit the wall.
Before we arrive
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

Advice
Common problems we fix in East Farleigh
Sometimes a movement joint was filled with mortar or a rigid filler. With the joint locked solid, the movement turns into cracks elsewhere in the wall.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Brick movement joints where the sealant has split
- Gaps where render, brick and frames meet
- Joints pointed up with cement by mistake
- Weathered mastic that no longer stretches
In the older streets around Church of Saint Mary, old and new materials meet at the roofline and walls, which is where sealant earns its keep.
Comparing quotes
- The length of the guarantee
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Whether VAT is included
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
Keeping the joints in good condition
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Clear growth from the base of walls and joints
- Deal with leaking gutters that soak the joints below
- Make sure movement joints aren’t pointed over
- Get split or bare joints resealed while the damage is small
Follow the cure time we give you before the joint is knocked or disturbed. Most exterior sealants skin fast but take longer to cure right through.
An open movement joint lets rain into the wall every time it pours. Over time it can mean damp inside, stained render or frost-damaged brick.
Your questions about external mastic in East Farleigh
I let a flat near East Farleigh station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before work begins.
Do you cover East Farleigh for external mastic?
Yes, East Farleigh is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and let us know what needs doing.
Can you seal joints between two different materials?
Yes. Materials like render, brick, metal and uPVC all move differently, so a flexible sealant is needed where they meet. We choose one that suits both surfaces.
How long does external mastic take?
A typical job takes a few hours to a few days, depending on the length of joint and the access, including the preparation. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
Should I try DIY first?
Sometimes. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. If it doesn’t work out, we can redo it.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Just the basics: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. Then ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, we’re fully insured for every job we do.
Is it OK to fill a movement joint with cement?
No. A mortar-filled joint can’t move, so the wall cracks somewhere else instead. Use a flexible sealant with backing rod.

East Farleigh buildings and the weather
Historic houses like Stoneacre (about 4 miles east) are a reminder that the area around East Farleigh has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older brick and stone need a sealant that suits them, at the right joint depth. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
Rented homes near East Farleigh station change hands often, and split movement joints are easy to miss on a rental until damp shows inside. If you look after a building such as East Farleigh Primary School, larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing.
