How it works
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. Most jobs then take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the building. In a smaller place like Holmethorpe, 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.
- First, the joints are inspected and the access agreed.
- 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.
- Backing rod sized to the joint goes in to set the depth.
- We apply the sealant, tool it and check the whole run.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Mention any tricky access
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

About our external mastic in Holmethorpe
As ARBOMaster approved applicators, we choose exterior sealants to suit the joint and the surfaces. Some surfaces need a primer before sealing and we use one wherever it does. If you are dealing with weathered mastic that no longer stretches and rigid filler in a joint that should flex, we can help, whatever the surface.
Houses in smaller places like Holmethorpe 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.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

Honest limits
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’ll tell you before any work starts. Sealant won’t put right:
- Damp from another source, such as a leaking gutter or a bridged damp-proof course
- Loose or hollow render, which needs re-rendering
- Cracked brickwork or render that needs a builder or plasterer
If you’re not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we seal
- Concrete & block

Holmethorpe questions
Do you cover Holmethorpe for external mastic?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Holmethorpe is part of that. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.
Do you cover smaller places like Holmethorpe?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
How long does the job take?
Most jobs take a few hours for a handful of joints, longer for a whole elevation, including preparation and clearing up. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
What information do you need?
A short description and the location. We will ask anything else we need to know.
Why do you put foam in the joint first?
Closed-cell backing rod sets the depth of the sealant and stops it sticking to the back of the joint. That way it bonds to the two sides only and can stretch.
Can I do it myself?
Sometimes. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Can you seal joints between render and window frames?
Yes. Materials like render, brick, metal and uPVC all move differently, so a flexible sealant is needed where they meet. The sealant is matched to both sides.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. We work in offices, washrooms, hotels and other commercial premises. We can talk about working times when we quote.
What we’re called out for in Holmethorpe
UV, rain and frost all age exterior sealant. In time it goes hard, crazes on the surface and stops stretching, so the next time the wall moves, it splits or pulls away.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Joints pointed up with cement by mistake
- Old sealant gone brittle and cracked
- Rain getting behind render or cladding at a joint
- Failed seals between different materials
Managing a site like East Surrey College? Then larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing.
Questions to ask before booking
- What product goes in the joint

What the job involves on each surface
Render joints
The face of render can be soft, so a low-modulus sealant is kinder to the joint edges. Priming is done where the sealant calls for it.
Concrete and blockwork
Big joints in concrete need careful depth control. We size the backing rod to the gap and keep the sealant to the right depth.

Why it’s worth doing now in Holmethorpe
Low-modulus sealants stretch easily, so they put less strain on the joint edges. That protects surfaces like brick, render and concrete. A stiffer product can damage the joint edge as it fails. Around Holmethorpe, 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.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us for an honest opinion and a quote.

Walls and rooflines in Holmethorpe
Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
If you live in an older home near Holy Trinity, older walls, gutters and the joints where extensions meet them need a flexible sealant. Rented homes near Redhill station change hands often, and failed wall and movement joints let damp in, so they’re worth checking between tenancies.

Looking after it afterwards
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Keep water from gutters off the wall
- Check the sealant is paintable before painting near it
- Avoid pressure-washing directly into sealant joints
- Check external joints each spring
Make sure anyone working on the wall later knows where the movement joints are. They must stay as flexible joints, never rendered or pointed over.
Leaks behind façade panels and render often go unseen. When it finally shows inside, the joint may have been open for years.
