Why it’s worth doing now in Elmbridge Village
Low-modulus sealants stretch easily, so they put less strain on the joint edges. That matters on brick, render and concrete, which can be weaker at the face. Too stiff a sealant can pull at the edges and break them. In a small place like Elmbridge Village, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
Why us?
- Quality sealants from Arbo and Everbuild

External mastic in Elmbridge Village, done properly
Many failed façade joints only get noticed once there’s a stain or a damp patch inside. We inspect them, agree which need doing and reseal with a weatherproof, flexible sealant in a colour to suit. We work on façade panels, copings & trims and joints between brick and frames, and the jobs we see most are old sealant gone brittle and cracked and water getting into walls through failed joints.
Somewhere as small as Elmbridge Village, homes and farm buildings often face open ground, so walls and rooflines take the full force of wind and rain. Gutter joints and wall joints there need a sealant that can flex and stay put.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

What affects the cost of external mastic
For a quick quote, just ask. What matters most is:
- How easy the joints are to reach
- The number and length of the joints
- Any working-time requirements on site
- The number of rooms or windows
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller. If you are unsure, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.
What to tell us for a quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Try to tell us:
- How we’d reach the joints
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Where the job is, and your postcode

Aftercare tips
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Keep movement joints as flexible joints, not mortar
- Clear growth from the base of walls and joints
- Tell anyone working on the walls about the movement joints
- Keep high-pressure jets off the joints
Keep pressure washers away from the sealant. High-pressure water can lift the edges over time.
If you can see gaps, plants or bare sections in a joint, have it checked. Earlier resealing means a smaller job and a better result.
What external mastic looks like in Elmbridge Village
London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
In and around Elmbridge Village, as anywhere, good external mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint. If you look after a building such as Glebelands School, its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s.

What the job involves on each surface
Concrete and blockwork
Big joints in concrete need careful depth control. Backing rod sized to the joint sets it.
Render joints
The face of render can be soft, so a low-modulus sealant is kinder to the joint edges. We prime where the product needs it.
Can I do it myself?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Elmbridge Village questions
Do you cover smaller places like Elmbridge Village?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Is there a guarantee on external mastic in Elmbridge Village?
All our work, in Elmbridge Village and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Is it OK to fill a movement joint with cement?
No. Mortar locks the joint solid, so the movement cracks the wall elsewhere. Use a flexible sealant with backing rod.
How do you reach high-level joints?
It depends on the building. Send us photos and a rough idea of the height and we’ll confirm how they can be reached safely.
Is it messy?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we tidy up before we go.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, and it traps any mould or water underneath. We remove it all first.
Can landlords and businesses book you?
Yes. As well as homeowners, we work for landlords, agents, businesses and hotels in Elmbridge Village.
How long before the joint can be used?
Different products cure at different speeds, so please follow the time we give you.
