- Rain getting behind render or cladding at a joint
- Brick movement joints where the sealant has split
- Hard, crazed mastic that has stopped moving
Should I try it myself first?
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
External mastic in Epsom Downs, done properly
Joints between dissimilar materials, like brick against render or concrete against a steel frame, see movement from both sides. A flexible sealant bridges the two where mortar or filler would crack. We are often asked to deal with hard, crazed mastic that has stopped moving and failed sealant between panels on a façade, across façade panels, concrete & block and joints between brick and frames.
Somewhere as small as Epsom Downs, 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.
Our work is backed for twelve months, in Epsom Downs and everywhere else we cover.

Quotes for external mastic in Epsom Downs
Call for a quick quote. What matters most is:
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- How many areas need sealing
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- The product the joint needs
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You’ll know the price before we begin.
Asking for a quote
You don’t need to know the technical terms. It helps if you can tell us:
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- What’s wrong with the joints now
Every job is quoted individually. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details.
When it is not the sealant
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t solve:
- Adding movement joints to masonry that has none
- Damp from another source, such as a leaking gutter or a bridged damp-proof course
- Cracking across the wall rather than at a joint
If you are not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you a straight answer.
What we seal
- Façade panels
- Concrete & block

How the job changes by surface
Concrete and blockwork
The face of concrete or block is often dusty, so cleaning and priming matter. A primer goes on where the product requires one before sealing.
Render joints
Rendered walls have joints at beads, openings and changes of material. They’re resealed in a sealant that suits the render.

External mastic in Epsom Downs: local notes
London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day. Historic houses like Fitznells Manor (about 2.1 miles north) are a reminder that the area around Epsom Downs 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.
Homes close to Parish Church of St Martin include some older properties, and old and new materials meet at the roofline and walls, which is where sealant earns its keep. If you let a flat or house near Epsom Downs station, split movement joints are easy to miss on a rental until damp shows inside.

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Get split or bare joints resealed while the damage is small
- Do not let climbing plants root in the sealant
- Keep water from gutters off the wall
- Look over the joints every year, ideally after winter
Avoid pressure-washing straight into the joints. A strong jet can damage the edges of the bead.
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.
The process
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and tell you how long to leave it. The work normally takes a few hours to a few days, depending on the length of joint and the access, depending on the amount of work. For a village or hamlet like Epsom Downs, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. 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.
- Both sides are cleaned back to sound material and primed if needed.
- We push in closed-cell backing rod so the sealant is the right depth and bonds to the sides only.
- We gun in a flexible exterior sealant in a colour that suits the wall and tool it neatly.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Tell us if parking is tricky

Advice
Do you need external mastic in Epsom Downs?
Using the wrong sealant is another common reason. A high-modulus or general-purpose sealant can be too rigid for a busy joint, and it tears off the sides.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Joints pointed up with cement by mistake
- Sealant pulling away from one side of the joint
- Failed sealant between panels on a façade
- Cracked joints where brick meets render or frames
Managing a site like Warren Mead Infant School? Then movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s.

Can you seal joints between two different materials?
Yes. Where different materials meet is one of the most common joints we seal. The sealant is chosen to bond to both sides with primer where required.
How long should I leave it?
That depends on the sealant used, so follow the cure time we give you when we finish.
Should I try DIY first?
Sometimes. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Why is there a gap in my brick wall?
Walls move with heat, cold and moisture, so long walls have planned gaps to take that movement. The gap is sealed with a flexible sealant over backing rod.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, always. There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.
