External mastic for homes and businesses in Holmwood Corner
A movement joint is a deliberate break that lets a wall expand and contract. Its sealant has to flex with the building, season after season, so once it splits or hardens, the joint stops working and water gets in. Common call-outs are for movement joints with cracked, split or missing sealant and plants rooting in failed movement joints, on façade panels, concrete & block and copings & trims.
Around Holmwood Corner, older buildings can be stone, brick or timber-framed, many with extensions added later. Where one material meets another is where water generally gets in.
Our work is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

What happens if it’s left?
Done well, a resealed joint is a neat, straight line that suits the wall. A rushed bead with no backing looks untidy and doesn’t last. Around Holmwood Corner, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.

What we’re called out for in Holmwood Corner
Weeds, moss and debris in a joint are a sign the sealant has gone. Roots and dirt hold water against the wall and speed up the damage.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Hard, crazed mastic that has stopped moving
- Rain getting behind render or cladding at a joint
- Plants rooting in failed movement joints
- Joints pointed up with cement by mistake
Rented homes near Holmwood station change hands often, and split movement joints are easy to miss on a rental until damp shows inside.
What your quote should include
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- What product goes in the joint
- The length of the guarantee
What affects the quote in Holmwood Corner
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- How many areas need sealing
- The product the joint needs
- Working hours on commercial sites
- Access and height
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That’s why we ask a few questions first and give you a clear price before we start.
Asking for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- How we’d reach the joints
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- What’s wrong with the joints now
There’s no standard price list, as no two jobs are quite the same. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To arrange one, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Walk round the building once a year and look at the joints
- Keep movement joints as flexible joints, not mortar
- Show decorators and builders where the movement joints are
- Check the sealant is paintable before painting near it
Avoid pressure-washing straight into the joints. High-pressure water can lift the edges and let water in behind.
Gaps, plants or missing sealant in a joint are worth getting looked at. Early work is quicker and leaves a better finish.

- Every bit of old sealant and any mortar or debris is cut out.

Your questions about external mastic in Holmwood Corner
Is Holmwood Corner in your area for external mastic?

How do you reach high-level joints?
That depends on the building and the joints. We work on joints that can be reached safely. Give us some details and we will confirm the access.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, it will not last. It may look fine at first, but the new bead soon lifts. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
Can you seal joints between render and window frames?
Yes. The old joint is removed, both surfaces cleaned and primed where needed, and a flexible sealant applied. We pick a colour that works with both materials.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured.
What do you put in the joint?
It depends on the joint: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Will there be a smell?
Possibly a little. It fades as the sealant cures.
