- Hard, crazed mastic that has stopped moving
- Panel joints letting water in
- Water getting into walls through failed joints
The process
You do not need to clear the whole room or building before we come, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the work takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the building in most cases. Somewhere as small as Fyfield, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- 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.
- We clean both faces of the joint and prime them where the product calls for it.
- We push in closed-cell backing rod so the sealant is the right depth and bonds to the sides only.
- The new sealant, chosen to suit the brick or render, is applied and tooled to a neat finish.
Getting ready for the visit
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Move anything stored near the joints

External mastic in Fyfield, done properly
For buildings in Fyfield, we reseal external joints of all kinds, from brick movement joints to cladding panels. Every joint gets the same careful preparation: clean, sound faces and a controlled depth. If you have gaps where render, brick and frames meet and sealant that has lost its bond to the brick or render, we can put it right, on brickwork movement joints, concrete & block and copings & trims alike.
External sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work around Fyfield is planned for dry weather. Let us know about access to every wall, plus any garages or outbuildings.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, large or small.

Why act early in Fyfield
It often makes sense to reseal all the failing joints on an elevation together. Joints of the same age tend to fail together. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Fyfield, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
There are no prices on our website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a quick quote, please phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Honest limits
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:
- Cracked brickwork or render that needs a builder or plasterer
- Subsidence or other structural problems
- Walls that need new movement joints cut into them
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think.
What we seal
- Brickwork movement joints
- Render & cladding joints
- Joints between brick and frames
- Façade panels
- Concrete & block
- Copings & trims
Aftercare tips
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep water from gutters off the wall
- Check the sealant is paintable before painting near it
- Never let anyone fill a movement joint with mortar
- Tell anyone working on the walls about the movement joints
Keep pressure washers away from the sealant. A strong jet can damage the edges of the bead and let water in behind.
If you can see gaps, plants or bare sections in a joint, have it checked. Early work is quicker and leaves a better finish.
Do you need external mastic in Fyfield?
If plants are growing out of a joint, the sealant has normally failed or was never there. Dirt and roots then trap moisture in the joint and speed up the damage.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Rigid filler in a joint that should flex
- Weathered mastic that no longer stretches
- Water getting into walls through failed joints
- Moss and dirt in joints with no sealant left
If you live in an older home near Church of St Nicholas, old and new materials meet at the roofline and walls, which is where sealant earns its keep.

Fyfield buildings and the weather
London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
Schools such as The Ongar Academy are buildings too, and its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s.
