External mastic for homes and businesses in High Roding
A movement joint is only as good as its depth. Closed-cell backing rod sets the depth and stops the sealant sticking to the back, leaving it bonded to two faces so it can move with the wall. Common call-outs are for joints with sealant missing in places and failed seals between different materials, on brickwork movement joints, render & cladding joints and joints between brick and frames.
Older homes in small places like High Roding may be stone, brick or timber-framed, often with later extensions. The joints where those materials meet are the weak points, and they need the right sealant at the right depth.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once the job is done.

Should I try it myself first?
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Why deal with it now?
Sealing over the top of old mastic doesn’t hold for long. New sealant doesn’t bond well to old, weathered sealant, so the old joint is cut out fully first. In a small place like High Roding, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
We do not show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please call 0345 464 0079 or email us.

External mastic in High Roding: local notes
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind. Historic houses like Barrington Hall (about 3.4 miles west) are a reminder that the area around High Roding has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older walls and rooflines need a sealant that moves with them and suits the material.
Rented homes near Stansted Airport station change hands often, and split movement joints are easy to miss on a rental until damp shows inside. Homes close to Parish Church of St Mary include some older properties, and an extension built onto an older house moves differently, and the joint between them takes the strain.

When something else is needed
We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Render that’s blown, hollow or coming away
- Cutting new joints into brickwork, which is building work rather than sealant work
- Damp from another source, such as a leaking gutter or a bridged damp-proof course
If you are not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you a straight answer.

What happens on the day
You do not need to clear the whole room or building before we come, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes a few hours to a few days, depending on the length of joint and the access in most cases. For a village or hamlet like High Roding, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided 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
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

Aftercare tips
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Deal with leaking gutters that soak the joints below
- Leave the joints unpainted unless we’ve said otherwise
- Keep high-pressure jets off the joints
- Get split or bare joints resealed while the damage is small
Keep the joints clear of soil, plants and climbing growth. Anything that holds water against the joint wears it out sooner.
Water getting behind cladding or render can go unnoticed for a long time. By the time there’s a damp patch, the damage can be well established so early resealing is worth it.
