Questions from Kings Langley
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Kings Langley station?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners, and several properties can go on one quote. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Will you come out to Kings Langley?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old sealant, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. It all has to come out first.
What should I tell you?
Just the basics: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. Then ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Can a movement joint be filled with mortar?
No. A mortar-filled joint can’t move, so the movement cracks the wall elsewhere. Use a flexible sealant with backing rod.
What do you put in the joint?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, picked for each joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. Hotels, offices and other businesses use us.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before applying anything new.
How we handle external mastic in Kings Langley
We are ARBOMaster approved applicators, and each external joint gets a sealant suited to it. Porous or awkward surfaces are primed where the sealant needs it. If you’re dealing with plants rooting in failed movement joints and rigid filler in a joint that should flex, we can put it right, on façade panels, concrete & block and joints between brick and frames alike.
Around Kings Langley, garages, outbuildings and extensions all add to the joints on the outside of a home. Gutter ends, garage door frames and the joints where an extension meets the house are typical spots for leaks.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, large or small.

Honest limits
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- Cracking across the wall rather than at a joint
- Walls that need new movement joints cut into them
- Damp that isn’t coming from the joint
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Where we work in Kings Langley
- Copings & trims
- Façade panels
- Brickwork movement joints
- Joints between brick and frames
- Render & cladding joints
- Concrete & block
Why deal with it now?
A failed movement joint lets water into the wall, behind render and cladding. Dealing with it early keeps the repair to the joint, instead of the wall and finishes around it. Around Kings Langley, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, and that is a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
Combining jobs into one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We’ll send you a clear quote for the lot.

What the job involves on each surface
Cladding and façade panels
Cladding and façade panels are usually separated by sealed joints. We reseal them with a sealant suited to the panel material.
Concrete and blockwork
Concrete and block walls shrink as they dry and move with temperature. We reseal their joints with backing rod and a flexible product.

DIY versus a professional finish
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
What external mastic looks like in Kings Langley
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast. With historic houses such as High Elms Manor (about 2.5 miles east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Kings Langley as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older walls and rooflines need a sealant that moves with them and suits the material.
For landlords with property near Kings Langley station, outside joints that have cracked can let damp into a rental, so check them between lets. If you live in an older home near Church of All Saints, the joints between older walls, newer extensions and the roofline need a sealant that can move. Schools such as Kings Langley Primary School are buildings too, and its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s.

What we do, step by step
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so there’s nothing for you to buy. Once we’ve agreed what’s being done, we protect the area and start. Most jobs take a few hours to a few days, depending on the length of joint and the access. A visit to Kings Langley is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- We inspect the joints and agree which need resealing and how they’ll be reached.
- Old sealant and any debris are cut and raked out.
- We clean both faces of the joint and prime them where the product calls for 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.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
