What happens on the day
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work starts. The work normally takes a few hours to a few days, depending on the length of joint and the access. Parking around Furze Platt 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 inspect the joints and agree which need resealing and how they’ll be reached.
- The old mastic and anything lodged in the joint is removed.
- Both sides are cleaned back to sound material and primed if needed.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice
About our external mastic in Furze Platt
On houses, flats and commercial buildings across Furze Platt, we reseal joints in brickwork, render, cladding and façade panels. Every joint gets the same careful preparation: clean joint faces and the right depth. We work on render & cladding joints, concrete & block and brickwork movement joints, and the jobs we see most are sealant that has lost its bond to the brick or render and weathered mastic that no longer stretches.
Houses in smaller places like Furze Platt can stand more in the open than those in a built-up town, so exposed walls and rooflines take more wind-driven rain. Joints on those sides are generally the first to go.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please call 0345 464 0079 or email us.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Act on the first splits you see
- Show decorators and builders where the movement joints are
- Never let anyone fill a movement joint with mortar
- Keep soil, plants and ivy away from the joints
Give the sealant the cure time we tell you before anything rubs against it. The surface skins over quickly, but full cure takes longer.
Leaks behind façade panels and render often go unseen. By the time there’s a damp patch, the damage can be well established.
What external mastic looks like in Furze Platt
With historic houses such as Cliveden (about 2.6 miles north-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Furze Platt as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older walls and rooflines need a sealant that moves with them and suits the material. 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.
For landlords with property near Furze Platt station, split movement joints are easy to miss on a rental until damp shows inside. If you look after a building such as Furze Platt Senior School, its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s. Homes close to Church of St Peter include some older properties, and an extension built onto an older house moves differently, and the joint between them takes the strain.

Can I do it myself?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.

Common questions in Furze Platt
Is Furze Platt within the area you cover?
Yes. Furze Platt is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
I let a flat near Furze Platt station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear price.
Can you reach joints on upper floors?
Each building is different. Tell us the height, the number of joints and what’s below them.
Why do you put foam in the joint first?
Backing rod controls the sealant depth and keeps it off the back of the joint. Then the sealant bonds to two faces and can move.
Can you seal joints between two different materials?
Yes. The old joint is removed, both surfaces cleaned and primed where needed, and a flexible sealant applied. The colour is chosen to suit.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything isn’t right with the work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.
Do the sealants smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, which fades as it sets. Opening a window helps.
Can you match the colour of my brickwork?
The sealant colour is picked to suit the wall, so the joint sits quietly in the wall. There’s a wide choice of exterior colours.
