About our external mastic in Hatfield Peverel
Getting the depth right is half the job. Backing rod controls how deep the sealant goes and keeps it off the back of the joint, so it bonds to the two sides only and can stretch. Typical jobs include panel joints letting water in and plants rooting in failed movement joints, on brickwork movement joints, copings & trims and joints between brick and frames.
In a smaller place like Hatfield Peverel, some homes face open ground, so exposed walls and rooflines take more wind-driven rain. That is where gutter joints and wall joints tend to fail first.
You get a 12-month guarantee, the same in Hatfield Peverel as everywhere else we work.

Hatfield Peverel buildings and the weather
With historic houses such as Danbury Place (about 4.5 miles south-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Hatfield Peverel 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. 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.
If you let a flat or house near Hatfield Peverel station, split movement joints are easy to miss on a rental until damp shows inside. Homes close to Parish Church of St Andrew include some older properties, and an extension built onto an older house moves differently, and the joint between them takes the strain.

Why deal with it now?
A failed movement joint lets water into the wall. Dealing with it early keeps the repair to the joint, instead of the wall and finishes around it. Around Hatfield Peverel, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the sealant itself.
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference.

How the visit works
You do not need to clear the whole room or building, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the building in most cases. In a smaller place like Hatfield Peverel, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- Each joint is checked and the colour of the new sealant agreed.
- Failed sealant is removed back to clean, sound faces.
- Backing rod goes in so the sealant can stretch between the two faces.
- We prime the faces where required.
- We gun in low-modulus sealant and tool it neatly.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Tell us about any water getting in

How to look after the new joints
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep high-pressure jets off the joints
- Look over the joints every year, ideally after winter
- Tell anyone working on the walls about the movement joints
- Get split or bare joints resealed while the damage is small
Have a quick look at the joints each spring. Splits, gaps at the edges or plants in the joint are early warning signs.
Leave a failed movement joint and water keeps getting into the wall. That can lead to damp patches, staining and frost damage which cost more to put right than the joint.
DIY versus a professional finish
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
When to call us in Hatfield Peverel
UV, rain and frost all age exterior sealant. Over the years it hardens, cracks on the surface and loses its give, so the next time the wall moves, it splits or pulls away.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Weeds or debris growing in open joints
- Panel joints letting water in
- Cracked joints where brick meets render or frames
- Brick movement joints where the sealant has split
Schools such as Hatfield Peverel St Andrew's Junior School are buildings too, and movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s.

Where do you work from?

I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are glad to have it sorted.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. All our work carries a one-year guarantee.
When is the sealant fully cured?

Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we are part of it.
What’s an expansion joint in brickwork?
It’s a deliberate gap that lets the wall expand and contract without cracking. It should be filled with flexible sealant, never mortar.
When something else is needed
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not solve:
- Loose or hollow render, which needs re-rendering
- Subsidence or other structural problems
- Cracks in the bricks or render themselves, away from the joints
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think before you book.
