External & façade joints in Hurtmore, Surrey
External mastic across Hurtmore and nearby, with every bit of old sealant taken out first.
- Leaking joints around cladding and façade panels
- Brick movement joints where the sealant has split
- Rigid filler in a joint that should flex
Should I try it myself first?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
External mastic for homes and businesses in Hurtmore
We’re ARBOMaster approved applicators, and each external joint gets a sealant suited to it. Some surfaces need a primer before sealing and we use one wherever it does. We work on brickwork movement joints, concrete & block and joints between brick and frames, and the jobs we see most are sealant pulling away from one side of the joint and gaps where render, brick and frames meet.
In a village or hamlet like Hurtmore, older cottages and farm buildings often stand in the open, so walls and rooflines take the full force of wind and rain. Joints on those walls need a sealant that moves with the building and stays in place.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

Walls and rooflines in Hurtmore
With historic houses such as Loseley Park (about 1.5 miles north-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Hurtmore as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older brick and stone need a sealant that suits them, at the right joint depth. 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.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Nicholas, older walls, gutters and the joints where extensions meet them need a flexible sealant. If you look after a building such as Charterhouse School, its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s.
Hurtmore is about 4 miles south-west of Guildford, in Surrey.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Get split or bare joints resealed while the damage is small
- Look over the joints every year, ideally after winter
- Do not let climbing plants root in the sealant
- Make sure movement joints are not pointed over
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.
What happens on the day
On the day, we start by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. We protect the surfaces around the joints before we start. Most jobs take a few hours to a few days, depending on the length of joint and the access. For a village or hamlet like Hurtmore, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We start by checking each joint, agreeing the ones to redo and how we will reach them.
- The old mastic and anything lodged in the joint is removed.
- The joint faces are cleaned and primed where the sealant needs it.
- We push in closed-cell backing rod so the sealant is the right depth and bonds to the sides only.
- The new sealant, chosen to suit the brick or render, is applied and tooled to a neat finish.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move anything stored near the joints
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Tell us if parking is tricky

Advice
Common questions in Hurtmore
Do you cover Hurtmore for external mastic?
Yes, Hurtmore is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.
Is Hurtmore within the area you cover?
Yes, Hurtmore is covered. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator, and we’re fully insured.
Will it make a mess?
We keep the work tidy. Nearby surfaces are protected, and the area is left clean when we finish.
Can a movement joint be filled with mortar?
No. A mortar-filled joint cannot move, so the movement cracks the wall elsewhere. It needs a flexible sealant over backing rod.
Are you insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
Can you match the colour of my brickwork?
There’s a good range of exterior colours, including greys, browns, whites and stone tones. We choose the closest to your brick or render so the joint does not draw the eye.
What’s an expansion joint in brickwork?
A movement joint is a planned break in the wall that absorbs expansion and shrinkage. It’s sealed with a flexible sealant, not mortar.
What affects the cost of external mastic
Call for a quick quote. What matters most is:
- Whether the work is at height
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Any working-time requirements on site
- The product the joint needs
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That is why we ask about the job first.
Asking for a quote

We don’t publish a price list, because every job is different. Instead, we give you a clear quote for your job. To get started, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Do you need external mastic in Hurtmore?
Every building moves. Clay bricks expand slightly over their life, concrete and block shrink, and everything moves with temperature and wet. The sealant in the movement joints takes that strain.
People generally contact us after spotting something like this:
- Brick movement joints where the sealant has split
- Old sealant gone brittle and cracked
- Joints pointed up with cement by mistake
- Damp patches traced to an open external joint
Rented homes near Godalming station change hands often, and split movement joints are easy to miss on a rental until damp shows inside.
Questions to ask before booking
- How long to leave it before use
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
- What guarantee comes with the work
