Walls and rooflines in Forty Green
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day. With historic houses such as Adwell House (about 4.8 miles south-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Forty Green as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older brick and stone need a sealant that suits them, at the right joint depth.

When something else is needed
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:
- Cracking across the wall rather than at a joint
- Cutting new joints into brickwork, which is building work rather than sealant work
- Structural movement, which needs a surveyor or engineer

The process
Every visit runs the same way: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and clear up. Most jobs take a few hours to a few days, depending on the length of joint and the access. Somewhere like Forty Green needs a little journey planning: 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 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.
- Joint faces are cleaned back and primed if the sealant needs it.
- We fit closed-cell backing rod to control the depth.
- The exterior sealant is applied, tooled and checked along its length.
Before we arrive
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Mention any tricky access
- Move anything stored near the joints

Why act early in Forty Green
It often makes sense to reseal all the failing joints on an elevation together. Joints of the same age tend to fail together, and access only has to be arranged once. In a small place like Forty Green, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.

Forty Green questions
Is Forty Green in your area for external mastic?
Yes, Forty Green is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear quote.
Will you come out to Forty Green?
Yes, we do. 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.
What is backing rod for?
Closed-cell backing rod sets the depth of the sealant and stops it sticking to the back of the joint. That way it bonds to the two sides only and can stretch.
How long should I leave it?
Different products cure at different speeds, so please follow the time we give you when we finish.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, we can. More than one area can go on one quote.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work in homes, commercial premises and hotels.
Is it OK to fill a movement joint with cement?
No. Mortar locks the joint solid, so the wall cracks somewhere else instead. It needs a flexible sealant over backing rod.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, we’re fully insured.

How to look after the new joints
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Clear growth from the base of walls and joints
- Wash walls gently around the sealant
- Look over the joints every year, ideally after winter
- Leave the joints unpainted unless we’ve said otherwise
Keep the joints clear of soil, plants and climbing growth. Anything that holds water against the joint wears it out sooner.
Act while the splits are small. At that stage it’s a simple cut out and reseal with no damage behind it to deal with.
Different surfaces, different methods
Cladding and façade panels
Where a cladding system has its own specified sealant, we follow it or an approved alternative. Send us any details you have about the façade.
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.
