About our external mastic in Godstone
External mastic is a job where short cuts show quickly. Overfilled joints, missing backing rod and sealant laid over old sealant rarely last long. We strip the joint back and start again. Typical jobs include failed sealant between panels on a façade and brick movement joints where the sealant has split, across brickwork movement joints, concrete & block and render & cladding joints.
External sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work around Godstone is planned for dry weather. Tell us about access to all sides of the building, including outbuildings and garages.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

How to look after the new joints
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Clear growth from the base of walls and joints
- Ask before painting over external sealant
- Look over the joints every year, ideally after winter
- Wash walls gently around the sealant
Have a quick look at the joints each spring. Splits, gaps at the edges or plants in the joint are early warning signs.
Once a joint cannot move, the wall finds another way, generally as cracking in the brickwork or render nearby. Resealing it early helps prevent that.
Quotes for external mastic in Godstone
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- The number and length of the joints
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- Any working-time requirements on site
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re unsure, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.

Common questions in Godstone
Is Godstone within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you work for landlords with property near Godstone station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Just the basics: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. After that, simply phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
What do you put in the joint?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we will tell you what we’re using.
What’s an expansion joint in brickwork?
Walls move with heat, cold and moisture, and planned joints take up that movement. It’s closed with backing rod and a flexible sealant.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes. There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.
When is the sealant fully cured?
Most sealants are touch-dry well before they’re fully cured. We will tell you how long to leave the joint.
Can a movement joint be filled with mortar?
No, not where the gap is a movement joint. Pointing it stops it working and can lead to cracking. A flexible sealant is the right fill.
What external mastic looks like in Godstone
London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind. With historic houses such as Titsey Place (about 4.1 miles north-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Godstone as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older brick and stone need a sealant that suits them, at the right joint depth.
Managing a site like Godstone Village School? Then its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s. If you live in an older home near Church of St Nicholas, older walls, gutters and the joints where extensions meet them need a flexible sealant.

Why deal with it now?
It often makes sense to reseal all the failing joints on an elevation together. They’ve weathered the same way. In a small place like Godstone, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

How the visit works
We work through the job in order: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes a few hours for a handful of joints, longer for a whole elevation and we leave things clean and tidy. Somewhere like Godstone needs a little journey planning: 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 checking each joint, agreeing the ones to redo and how we will reach them.
- Old sealant and any debris are cut and raked out.
- We clean both faces of the joint and prime them where the product calls for it.
- Backing rod goes in next, setting the depth and keeping the sealant off the back of the joint.
- A flexible exterior sealant is applied and tooled in a colour to suit the wall.
Before we arrive
- Mention any tricky access
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

Advice
Should I try it myself first?
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.

Signs you need external mastic in Godstone
Poor preparation causes many early failures: dusty or wet faces, no primer where one was needed, or old sealant left in. The new sealant then lets go long before it should.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Sealant pulling away from one side of the joint
- Damp patches traced to an open external joint
- Gaps where render, brick and frames meet
- Movement joints with cracked, split or missing sealant
Rented homes near Godstone station change hands often, and split movement joints are easy to miss on a rental until damp shows inside.
