About our external mastic in Easton
Movement joints let brickwork, render and cladding expand and shrink without cracking. The sealant in it has to stretch and squeeze for years, so once it splits or hardens, the joint stops working and water gets in. If you have old sealant gone brittle and cracked and weeds or debris growing in open joints, we can put it right.
In a village or hamlet like Easton, older cottages and farm buildings often stand in the open, where walls and rooflines take the weather head on. Gutter joints and wall joints there need a sealant that can flex and stay put.
Our work is backed for twelve months.

Looking after it afterwards
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Keep high-pressure jets off the joints
- Act on the first splits you see
- Point out the joints to other trades
- Check the sealant is paintable before painting near it
Give the sealant the cure time we tell you before anything rubs against it. The surface skins over quickly, but full cure takes longer.
If you can see gaps, plants or bare sections in a joint, have it checked. Early work is quicker and leaves a better finish.
Why deal with it now?
A properly done movement joint is an even line in a colour that suits the wall. A rushed bead with no backing looks untidy and doesn’t last, so it pays to do it properly once. Older cottages and farmhouses around Easton can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference, and we will explain the quote if you ask.

For landlords and businesses
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
We also work for property managers and facilities teams. Several sites can be quoted together, and we are fully insured for the work.
Should I try it myself first?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Outside joints around Easton
Historic houses like Benham Park (about 3.1 miles south-east) are a reminder that the area around Easton has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older walls and rooflines need a sealant that moves with them and suits the material. London and the South East are among the drier parts 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 Gregory include some older properties, and an extension built onto an older house moves differently, and the joint between them takes the strain.

Different surfaces, different methods
Joints between dissimilar materials
Each side of the joint may need its own preparation. We prepare both faces so the sealant bonds properly.
Brickwork movement joints
People sometimes point up a brick movement joint by mistake. Where one has been mortared, we cut it out and reseal it with sealant if the joint can be cleared.

Easton questions
Do you cover smaller places like Easton?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Kintbury station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we will send you a clear quote.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, every time. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. All our work carries our one-year guarantee.
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.
Can I do it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Where are you based?
We are based in Crawley, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Do I need to be at home?
That depends on where the joints are. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, and for outside work we’ll agree access with you when we book.
How it works
When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. After that, the work takes a few hours to a few days, depending on the length of joint and the access. For a village or hamlet like Easton, the journey is planned in advance: 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 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

Advice
Do you need external mastic in Easton?
Using the wrong sealant is another common reason. A stiff, general-purpose sealant cannot cope with a joint that moves a lot, and it tears off the sides.
People generally contact us after spotting one of these:
- Damp patches traced to an open external joint
- Sealant pulling away from one side of the joint
- Gaps where render, brick and frames meet
- Plants rooting in failed movement joints
Rented homes near Kintbury station change hands often, and failed wall and movement joints let damp in, so they’re worth checking between tenancies.
