How we handle external mastic in Epwell
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. If you have brick movement joints where the sealant has split and failed sealant between panels on a façade, we can put it right, on joints between brick and frames, render & cladding joints and concrete & block alike.
External sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work around Epwell is planned for dry weather. Let us know about access to every wall, plus any garages or outbuildings.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Epwell as everywhere else we work.

Looking after it afterwards
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Wash walls gently around the sealant
- Keep water from gutters off the wall
- Get split or bare joints resealed while the damage is small
- Keep movement joints as flexible joints, not mortar
Follow the cure time we give you before the joint is knocked or disturbed. The surface skins over quickly, but full cure takes longer.
Leaks behind façade panels and render often go unseen. When it finally shows inside, the joint may have been open for years.
Honest limits
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:
- Walls that need new movement joints cut into them
- Cracking across the wall rather than at a joint
- Movement that is more than a sealant joint can take
If you are not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

More services for Epwell
Do you need external mastic in Epwell?
Every building moves. Clay bricks expand slightly over their life, concrete and block shrink, and everything moves with temperature and wet. The sealant in the movement joints takes that strain.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Joints with sealant missing in places
- Failed sealant between panels on a façade
- Movement joints filled with mortar instead of sealant
- Hard, crazed mastic that has stopped moving
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Anne, the joints between older walls, newer extensions and the roofline need a sealant that can move.

Why act early in Epwell
A properly done movement joint is an even line in a colour that suits the wall. A hurried job with smeared edges and no backing looks worse and fails sooner. In a small place like Epwell, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
We do not show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll talk you through it.

Walls and rooflines in Epwell
Historic houses like Upton House (about 3.3 miles north) are a reminder that the area around Epwell has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older walls and rooflines need a sealant that moves with them and suits the material. 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.
In and around Epwell, as anywhere, good external mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

The process
The work is kept neat and contained to the joints we’re treating. The job usually takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the building, and we explain the cure time before we leave. Somewhere as small as Epwell, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- Each joint is checked and the colour of the new sealant agreed.
- We take out the old sealant until the faces are sound.
- Closed-cell backing rod is pushed in so the sealant bonds to two sides only.
- We prime the faces where required.
- We gun in low-modulus sealant and tool it neatly.
How to prepare
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Tell us about any water getting in

Epwell questions

Where do you work from?
Our base is Crawley. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.

No, because it fails. We remove every bit of old sealant first, so the new joint bonds to clean surfaces.

That depends on the joint. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.

Do you work for letting agents?
Yes, regularly. Several properties can be quoted together.
How do you reach high-level joints?
It depends on the building. We work on joints that can be reached safely. Give us some details and we’ll confirm the access.
What the job involves on each surface
Joints between dissimilar materials
Where a frame or panel meets masonry, water often finds a way in. The old joint is removed and a sealant that bonds to both sides goes in.
Brickwork movement joints
Brick walls have vertical movement joints to absorb expansion. We reseal them with a low-modulus sealant over backing rod in a colour to suit the brick.
