Different surfaces, different methods
Render joints
Cracks along render joints let water in behind the coat. Resealing the joints early keeps water out and helps it last.
Joints between dissimilar materials
Where a frame or panel meets masonry, water often finds a way in. We cut out the old sealant and reseal with a product suited to both surfaces.
External mastic in Langney
For buildings in Langney, we reseal external joints of all kinds, from brick movement joints to cladding panels. Every joint gets the same careful preparation: clean, sound faces and a controlled depth. Common call-outs are for gaps where render, brick and frames meet and hard, crazed mastic that has stopped moving, on joints between brick and frames, render & cladding joints and concrete & block.
Outbuildings, garages and conservatories around homes in places like Langney add more joints to look after. Gutter ends, garage door frames and the joints where an extension meets the house are typical spots for leaks.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Langney as everywhere else we work.

Langney buildings and the weather
Langney is close to the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. Both are hard on movement joints and outside wall joints, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. 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.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Langney Primary Academy, movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s. Letting a property close to Pevensey & Westham station? Then outside joints that have cracked can let damp into a rental, so check them between lets.

When to call us in Langney
Joints sealed without backing rod, or far too deep, rarely last. If the sealant sticks to the back as well as the sides, it cannot stretch and tears as soon as the joint widens.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Weeds or debris growing in open joints
- Damp patches traced to an open external joint
- Movement joints with cracked, split or missing sealant
- Movement joints filled with mortar instead of sealant
Homes close to St. Richard include some older properties, and older walls, gutters and the joints where extensions meet them need a flexible sealant.

- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
How it works
On the day, we start by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins. The work generally takes a few hours to a few days, depending on the length of joint and the access. A visit to Langney 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.
- First we look over the joints with you, agree which to renew and talk through access.
- We cut out the failed sealant and rake out any dirt or growth.
- We clean both faces of the joint and prime them where the product calls for it.
- Backing rod goes in next, setting the depth and keeping the sealant off the back of the joint.
- A flexible exterior sealant is applied and tooled in a colour to suit the wall.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

Aftercare tips
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Show decorators and builders where the movement joints are
- Act on the first splits you see
- Make sure movement joints aren’t pointed over
- Avoid pressure-washing directly into sealant joints
Give the sealant the cure time we tell you before anything rubs against it. Most exterior sealants skin fast but take longer to cure right through.
Leave a failed movement joint and water keeps getting into the wall. That can lead to damp patches, staining and frost damage.
When it isn’t the sealant
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:
- Cutting new joints into brickwork, which is building work rather than sealant work
- Subsidence or other structural problems
- Cracks in the bricks or render themselves, away from the joints
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Should I try it myself first?
Not every job suits DIY: 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.
Leave it or put it right?
An open joint keeps letting water into the wall with every downpour. Wet masonry is more easily damaged by frost near the open joint, so the damage spreads beyond the joint. Homes in smaller places like Langney can face more weather, and failed outside joints let damp into walls. Inside, a split seal lets water into floors and panels just as it would anywhere.
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.

Langney questions
Will you come out to Langney?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Does the coastal weather in Langney affect outside sealant?
Near the coast, wind-driven rain and, nearer the shore, salt air make outside sealant work harder. The right product, a clean joint and the right depth all help it cope.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Will you leave a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. We protect what’s around the joints, and the area is left clean when we finish.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with our work in that time, tell us and we will put it right.
