External mastic in Elvington
Failed sealant is cut out, the depth set with closed-cell backing rod, and the joint resealed with a low-modulus sealant made for outside. The colour is chosen to suit the brick or render so the line blends in. We work on concrete & block, joints between brick and frames and façade panels, and people most often call us about sealant that has lost its bond to the brick or render and rigid filler in a joint that should flex.
In a village or hamlet like Elvington, 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.

The process
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and tidy away. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the building.

Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We look at every joint and agree a colour to suit the wall.
- Failed sealant is removed back to clean, sound faces.
- Closed-cell backing rod is pushed in so the sealant bonds to two sides only.
- We prime the faces where required.
- A low-modulus exterior sealant is gunned in and tooled to a neat finish.
How to prepare

Concrete and blockwork
Wide joints in concrete need the depth controlling carefully. We size the backing rod to the gap.
Joints between dissimilar materials
Different materials may need different primers. Both surfaces are cleaned and primed as the product requires.

Elvington buildings and the weather
Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind. Historic houses like Goodnestone Park (about 2.8 miles north-west) are a reminder that the area around Elvington has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older brick and stone need a sealant that suits them, at the right joint depth.
If you let a flat or house near Shepherds Well station, outside joints that have cracked can let damp into a rental, so check them between lets. Managing a site like Eythorne Elvington Community Primary School? Then larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing.

What happens if it’s left?

Signs you need external mastic in Elvington
Buildings move more than people expect. 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.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Sealant that has lost its bond to the brick or render
- Failed seals between different materials
- Rain getting behind render or cladding at a joint
- Brick movement joints where the sealant has split
Homes close to Church of St Peter and St Paul include some older properties, and the joints between older walls, newer extensions and the roofline need a sealant that can move.
