External & façade joints in Esher, Surrey
Problem with your movement joints in Esher? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly.

- Cracked joints where brick meets render or frames
- Joints where the bead has come unstuck
External mastic in Esher
Where two different materials meet, such as brick and render or blockwork and metal, they move at different rates. A flexible sealant bridges the two where mortar or filler would crack. If you have damp patches traced to an open external joint and joints with sealant missing in places, we can put it right.
In a smaller place like Esher, some homes face open ground, and walls and rooflines facing the weather take the worst of it. That is where gutter joints and wall joints tend to fail first.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, large or small.

How it works
There is not much for you to do on the day. Show us the job and we will take it from there. The job generally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the building, including the tidy-up. Parking around Esher is generally easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- We start by checking each joint, agreeing the ones to redo and how we’ll reach them.
- We cut out the failed sealant and rake out any dirt or growth.
- The joint faces are cleaned and primed where the sealant needs it.
- Backing rod goes in next, setting the depth and keeping the sealant off the back of the joint.
- The new sealant, chosen to suit the brick or render, is applied and tooled to a neat finish.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any tricky access
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on

Different surfaces, different methods
Brickwork movement joints
Brick walls have vertical movement joints to absorb expansion. They’re resealed over backing rod with a low-modulus sealant.
Render joints
Cracks along render joints let water in behind the coat. A sound joint keeps the render dry behind and helps it last.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too. We can quote a run of properties together, and we’re fully insured for the work.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Tell us the address, the job and how access works and we’ll give you a quote.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
When something else is needed
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- Cracked brickwork or render that needs a builder or plasterer
- Damp that is not coming from the joint
- Subsidence or other structural problems
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer.
What we seal
- Joints between brick and frames
- Brickwork movement joints
- Façade panels
- Copings & trims

Questions from Esher
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Esher station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before work begins.
Do you cover Esher for external mastic?
Yes, Esher is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, every time. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Should I point up the gap in my brickwork?
No, not if it’s a movement joint. Filling it with mortar defeats its purpose. A flexible sealant is the right fill.
What colours does the sealant come in?
There’s a good range of exterior colours, including greys, browns, whites and stone tones. We choose the closest to your brick or render so the joint doesn’t draw the eye.
Do you work at height?
Each building is different. Send us pictures and a rough idea of the height.
Does someone need to be in?
We need access to the joints, so we’ll agree that with you when we book. Indoors, that generally means someone at home.
What’s an expansion joint in brickwork?
Most straight vertical gaps in brickwork are movement joints. It lets the bricks expand without cracking.
Why it’s worth doing now in Esher
An open joint keeps letting water into the wall with every downpour. In cold weather, frost can damage wet brick and render near the open joint, so the damage spreads beyond the joint. In a smaller place like Esher, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You’ll know the price before we begin.
What you get with us
- Full insurance on every job
- A sealant colour to suit the surroundings
- You choose the colour before work begins
- Over 20 years’ experience

External mastic in Esher: local notes
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. With historic houses such as The Homewood (about 1.8 miles south-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Esher as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older walls and rooflines need a sealant that moves with them and suits the material.
Homes close to St George's Church include some older properties, and an extension built onto an older house moves differently, and the joint between them takes the strain. Managing a site like Milbourne Lodge School? Then its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s. Rented homes near Esher station change hands often, and failed wall and movement joints let damp in, so they’re worth checking between tenancies.
