Why it’s worth doing now in Letchmore Heath
A properly done movement joint is an even line in a colour that suits the wall. A hurried job with smeared edges and no backing looks worse and fails sooner so it’s worth doing right. In a small place like Letchmore Heath, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting. If you’re unsure, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.

Outside joints around Letchmore Heath
London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind. With historic houses such as High Elms Manor (about 3.5 miles north-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Letchmore Heath as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older brick and stone need a sealant that suits them, at the right joint depth.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Fair Field Junior School, movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s. In the older streets around Church of St John the Baptist, older walls, gutters and the joints where extensions meet them need a flexible sealant.

What else we do in Letchmore Heath
How it works
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, carry out the job and clear up. It usually takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the building. Somewhere as small as Letchmore Heath, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- 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.
- Backing rod sized to the joint goes in to set the depth.
- The exterior sealant is applied, tooled and checked along its length.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

Advice
DIY sealant or a professional job?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Letchmore Heath: your questions answered
I let a flat near Radlett station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before work begins.
Do you cover Letchmore Heath for external mastic?
Yes, Letchmore Heath 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.
What do you put in the joint?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, picked for each joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, because it fails. The old sealant always comes out first.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. Hotels, offices and other businesses use us, and we’re fully insured.
Is it OK to fill a movement joint with cement?
No. Cement or mortar can’t stretch. If it has already been filled, we can usually cut it out and reseal it.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.
How the job changes by surface
Cladding and façade panels
Metal and composite panels move a lot with temperature, so the joint sealant has to cope with frequent movement. We choose the product to suit.
Concrete and blockwork
Blockwork and concrete shrink over time and move with the seasons. Their movement joints are sealed over backing rod with a flexible sealant.
What sealant work cannot fix
We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- Damp that isn’t coming from the joint
- Movement that is more than a sealant joint can take
- Loose or hollow render, which needs re-rendering
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Where we work in Letchmore Heath
- Concrete & block
- Joints between brick and frames
- Façade panels
- Brickwork movement joints
- Render & cladding joints
- Copings & trims
Common problems we fix in Letchmore Heath
Joints sealed without backing rod, or far too deep, rarely last. Sealant bonded to three sides has nowhere to go and rips as the joint opens.
The problems people normally mention when they call include:
- Brick movement joints where the sealant has split
- Failed seals between different materials
- Rain getting behind render or cladding at a joint
- Failed sealant between panels on a façade
Letting a property close to Radlett station? Then failed wall and movement joints let damp in, so they’re worth checking between tenancies.
