External mastic for homes and businesses in Five Wents
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. We pick a colour that sits well with the wall so the joint doesn’t stand out. We are often asked to deal with panel joints letting water in and rigid filler in a joint that should flex, on joints between brick and frames, render & cladding joints and copings & trims.
In a village or hamlet like Five Wents, older cottages and farm buildings often stand in the open, 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.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

How the job changes by surface
Render joints
Render is weaker at the surface than brick, so a sealant that stretches easily protects the edges. Priming is done where the sealant calls for it.
Cladding and façade panels
If the façade has a specified sealant, that’s what we use. Tell us what the building has when you get in touch.
When something else is needed
We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- Cracking across the wall rather than at a joint
- Adding movement joints to masonry that has none
- Subsidence or other structural problems
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will tell you honestly.
What we seal
- Joints between brick and frames
- Concrete & block
- Render & cladding joints

Walls and rooflines in Five Wents
Historic houses like Stoneacre (about 1.7 miles north) are a reminder that the area around Five Wents 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. Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
Schools such as Sutton Valence Primary School are buildings too, and its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s. Letting a property close to Hollingbourne station? Then split movement joints are easy to miss on a rental until damp shows inside.

Five Wents questions
Is Five Wents in your area for external mastic?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Five Wents is part of that. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and let us know what needs doing.
Do you cover smaller places like Five Wents?
Yes, Five Wents is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
How do I get a quote for external mastic in Five Wents?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Ask us for a quote and we’ll talk you through it.
Where are you based?
Our base is in Crawley, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes. Every job comes with a one-year guarantee.
What colours does the sealant come in?
We aim for a joint that suits the wall rather than one that jumps out. Colour is agreed with you before we begin from the range available.
How long will you be here?
A typical job takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the building, including preparation and clearing up. We’ll confirm how long when we quote.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, it will not last. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new bead soon lifts. The old sealant has to come out completely.

Can I do it myself?
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
When to call us in Five Wents
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.
People normally contact us when they notice something like this:
- Moss and dirt in joints with no sealant left
- Hard, crazed mastic that has stopped moving
- Joints where the bead has come unstuck
- Damp patches traced to an open external joint
If you live in an older home near Church of St Mary, old and new materials meet at the roofline and walls, which is where sealant earns its keep.

What we do, step by step
There’s no need to move everything out before we come, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes a few hours for a handful of joints, longer for a whole elevation in most cases. For a village or hamlet like Five Wents, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We start by walking round the building and agreeing the joints and the access.
- We cut out the old mastic and rake out anything in the joint.
- The faces are brushed clean and primed where the product requires it.
- We fit closed-cell backing rod to control the depth.
- We apply the sealant, tool it and check the whole run.
How to prepare
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
