External mastic for homes and businesses in Ingrams Green
As ARBOMaster approved applicators, we choose exterior sealants to suit the joint and the surfaces. Porous or awkward surfaces are primed where the sealant needs it and we use one wherever it does. We work on concrete & block, façade panels and brickwork movement joints, and people most often call us about joints with sealant missing in places and movement joints filled with mortar instead of sealant.
Around Ingrams Green, 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, 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.

What sealant work can’t fix
We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- Cutting new joints into brickwork, which is building work rather than sealant work
- Loose or hollow render, which needs re-rendering
- Damp that is not coming from the joint
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we seal

FAQs for Ingrams Green
Can you do external mastic in Ingrams Green?
Yes, Ingrams Green is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Is Ingrams Green within the area you cover?
Yes, Ingrams Green is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
What is backing rod for?
Backing rod goes into deeper joints as a matter of course. It sets the sealant depth and prevents three-sided bonding.
How long does external mastic last?
It varies from wall to wall: sunny, exposed elevations and busy joints wear faster. Check them each year and reseal when they split or harden. Every job carries our one-year guarantee.
Do I need to be at home?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. Once we have agreed the job, you do not need to watch us work.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. We’ve worked for hotels, offices and other businesses, and we’re fully insured.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, because it fails. We remove every bit of old sealant first, so the new sealant bonds properly.
How long does the job take?
Typically it takes a few hours to a few days, depending on the length of joint and the access. Bigger jobs take longer, and we’ll say how long yours will take.
Surface by surface
Joints between dissimilar materials
Joints where frames, sills or panels meet the wall are common leak points. The old joint is removed and a sealant that bonds to both sides goes in.
Copings and trims
A failed coping joint lets water into the top of the wall. Resealing them is a small job that protects a lot.
External mastic in Ingrams Green: local notes

Where a home is older, older brick and stone need a sealant that suits them, at the right joint depth. Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.

What we’re called out for in Ingrams Green
If plants are growing out of a joint, the sealant has usually failed or was never there. Roots and dirt hold water against the wall and make things worse.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Weeds or debris growing in open joints
- Old sealant gone brittle and cracked
- Gaps where render, brick and frames meet
- Water getting into walls through failed joints
In and around Ingrams Green, as anywhere, good external mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

DIY versus a professional finish
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
Why it’s worth doing now in Ingrams Green
A failed movement joint lets water into the wall, behind render and cladding. Resealing early keeps the job to the joint itself, instead of the wall and finishes around it. Older cottages and farmhouses around Ingrams Green can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are unsure, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.
