External mastic for homes and businesses in Horsenden
Many failed façade joints only get noticed once there’s a stain or a damp patch inside. We look over the joints, agree the ones to renew and reseal with a flexible, weatherproof product in a matching colour. Common call-outs are for rain getting behind render or cladding at a joint and failed seals between different materials, on façade panels, concrete & block and joints between brick and frames.
Outside joints can only be sealed when they’re dry, so work in Horsenden is booked around the forecast. Tell us about access to all sides of the building, including outbuildings and garages.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Horsenden as everywhere else we work.

Horsenden buildings and the weather
Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
In the older streets around Church of St Michael and All Angels, the joints between older walls, newer extensions and the roofline need a sealant that can move. Managing a site like Princes Risborough School? Then movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s.

Your questions about external mastic in Horsenden
Do you work for landlords with property near Princes Risborough station?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we will send you a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Horsenden?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Why is there a gap in my brick wall?
A movement joint is a planned break in the wall that absorbs expansion and shrinkage. It should be filled with flexible sealant, never mortar.
Where do you work from?
We are based in Crawley, West Sussex, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. Hotels, offices and other businesses use us.
Do I have to be there?
It depends on the job. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, and for outside work we’ll agree access with you when we book.
Will the new joint stand out?
We aim for a joint that suits the wall rather than one that jumps out. Colour is agreed with you before we begin, matched as closely as the range allows.
Do you work at height?
That depends on the building and the joints. We work on joints that can be reached safely. Give us some details and we’ll confirm the access.
When to call us in Horsenden
The wrong product in a moving joint is a classic cause. A stiff, general-purpose sealant cannot cope with a joint that moves a lot, and it tears off the sides.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Cracked joints where brick meets render or frames
- Weathered mastic that no longer stretches
- Moss and dirt in joints with no sealant left
- Damp patches traced to an open external joint
Letting a property close to Princes Risborough station? Then outside joints that have cracked can let damp into a rental, so check them between lets.
Before you book anyone
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- What insurance they hold
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- Is VAT in the price?
What we do, step by step
The work is kept neat and contained to the joints we are treating. Expect the work to take a few hours to a few days, depending on the length of joint and the access, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. Somewhere like Horsenden needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- First, the joints are inspected and the access agreed.
- Every bit of old sealant and any mortar or debris is cut out.
- The faces are brushed clean and primed where the product requires it.
- We fit closed-cell backing rod to control the depth.
- We apply the sealant, tool it and check the whole run.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

For landlords and businesses
Landlords and letting agents in Horsenden can book us as well as homeowners. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order before the next move-in.
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy. Several properties can be quoted together.
What sealant work cannot fix
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:
- Structural movement, which needs a surveyor or engineer
- Cutting new joints into brickwork, which is building work rather than sealant work
- Cracks in the bricks or render themselves, away from the joints
If you are not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
What we seal
- Copings & trims
- Joints between brick and frames
- Concrete & block
- Façade panels
- Brickwork movement joints
- Render & cladding joints
How to look after the new joints
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Walk round the building once a year and look at the joints
- Avoid pressure-washing directly into sealant joints
- Fix overflowing gutters above sealed joints
- Ask before painting over external sealant
Don’t paint over the new sealant unless we’ve said the product is paintable. Paint can crack on a flexible joint, and paint can crack as the joint moves.
An open movement joint lets rain into the wall every time it pours. Over time it can mean damp inside, stained render or frost-damaged brick.
Should I try it myself first?
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.
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, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
What affects the cost of external mastic
You will get a clear quote before any work starts. It’s based on:
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Access and height
- The number and length of the joints
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are unsure, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.
Asking for a quote
To make quoting easier, please include:
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- If someone has resealed it before
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
We quote each job on its own, so the first step is telling us about yours. Simply phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and describe the job and send photos if you have them.
