External mastic in Eastbury
On houses, flats and commercial buildings across Eastbury, we reseal joints in brickwork, render, cladding and façade panels. The preparation is the same whatever the wall: clean, sound faces and a controlled depth. We work on brickwork movement joints, concrete & block and façade panels, and people most often call us about cracked joints where brick meets render or frames and joints where the bead has come unstuck.
Older homes in small places like Eastbury may be stone, brick or timber-framed, often with later extensions. Where one material meets another is where water generally gets in.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Do you need external mastic in Eastbury?
Every building moves. Brickwork grows a little over the years, blockwork and concrete shrink, and all of it moves with heat and moisture. The sealant in the movement joints takes that strain.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Joints where the bead has come unstuck
- Gaps where render, brick and frames meet
- Damp patches traced to an open external joint
- Panel joints letting water in
Around Eastbury, as everywhere, external mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Questions from Eastbury
Is Eastbury in your area for external mastic?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Eastbury is part of that. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Is there a guarantee on external mastic in Eastbury?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
What do you put in the joint?
The product depends on the job: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Where do you work from?
We are a Crawley-based firm. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Can you reach joints on upper floors?
It depends on the building. We work on joints that can be reached safely. Give us some details and we will confirm the access.
How long will you be here?
It depends on the size of the job, but as a guide it takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the building. We will tell you when we quote.
How long before the joint can be used?
Cure times vary by product. Before we leave, we will tell you the cure time.
Will the new joint stand out?
We aim for a joint that suits the wall rather than one that jumps out. Colour is agreed with you before we begin.
The process
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, do the work and tidy away. It generally takes a few hours to a few days, depending on the length of joint and the access. Somewhere like Eastbury needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We start by checking each joint, agreeing the ones to redo and how we will reach them.
- We cut out the failed sealant and rake out any dirt or growth.
- The joint faces are cleaned and primed where the sealant needs it.
- Backing rod goes in next, setting the depth and keeping the sealant off the back of the joint.
- A flexible exterior sealant is applied and tooled in a colour to suit the wall.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

Related advice
DIY versus a professional finish
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Eastbury buildings and the weather
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
Homes close to Church of St James include some older properties, and old and new materials meet at the roofline and walls, which is where sealant earns its keep.

Honest limits
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:
- Cracked brickwork or render that needs a builder or plasterer
- Walls that need new movement joints cut into them
- Structural movement, which needs a surveyor or engineer
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will tell you honestly before booking.

How the job changes by surface
Cladding and façade panels
Where a cladding system has its own specified sealant, we follow it or an approved alternative. Tell us what the building has when you get in touch.
Brickwork movement joints
Brick moves with heat and moisture, and grows a little over time. That movement goes into the joint, so its sealant has to stay flexible.
Aftercare tips
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Show decorators and builders where the movement joints are
- Make sure movement joints aren’t pointed over
- Get split or bare joints resealed while the damage is small
- Leave the joints unpainted unless we have said otherwise
Have a quick look at the joints each spring. Splits, gaps at the edges or plants in the joint are early warning signs.
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.
