About our external mastic in Lingfield Common
On houses, flats and commercial buildings across Lingfield Common, we reseal joints in brickwork, render, cladding and façade panels. Every joint gets the same careful preparation: clean joint faces and the right depth. Common call-outs are for gaps where render, brick and frames meet and weathered mastic that no longer stretches, across concrete & block, façade panels and render & cladding joints.
Somewhere as small as Lingfield Common, homes and farm buildings often face open ground, where walls and rooflines take the weather head on. Gutter joints and wall joints there need a sealant that can flex and stay put.
Every job is covered by our 12-month guarantee.

DIY versus a professional finish
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.

When it isn’t the sealant
In fairness, some problems need a different trade:
- Render that is blown, hollow or coming away
- Cracked brickwork or render that needs a builder or plasterer
- Rising or penetrating damp from elsewhere in the wall
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will tell you honestly before booking.

For landlords and businesses
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. We can quote for more than one property at once.
Letting agents and landlords in Lingfield Common can book us as well as householders. Sealant work between tenants is a simple way to keep a property in good order.
Why deal with it now?
Resealing a run of joints in one go is usually better than patching one at a time. They’ve weathered the same way and it means sorting access once. Around Lingfield Common, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
Why book with us
- Anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas
- A 12-month guarantee on all work
- Over 20 years’ experience
- A choice of colours where the product allows
How the visit works
Once we are on site, we check the joints match what you told us. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. After that, the work takes a few hours to a few days, depending on the length of joint and the access. In a small place like Lingfield Common, access is normally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- Each joint is checked and the colour of the new sealant agreed.
- We take out the old sealant until the faces are sound.
- Backing rod goes in so the sealant can stretch between the two faces.
- Primer is applied wherever the sealant needs it.
- A low-modulus exterior sealant is gunned in and tooled to a neat finish.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Mention any tricky access
- Clear the area around the work

What external mastic looks like in Lingfield Common
Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
Homes close to Church of St Peter and St Paul include some older properties, and the joints between older walls, newer extensions and the roofline need a sealant that can move. Schools such as Lingfield Primary School are buildings too, and larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing.

Some movement joints have been pointed up with mortar, often by someone who didn’t know what it was for. With the joint locked solid, the movement turns into cracks elsewhere in the wall.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Joints pointed up with cement by mistake
- Gaps where render, brick and frames meet
- Panel joints letting water in
- Sealant pulling away from one side of the joint
For landlords with property near Lingfield station, failed wall and movement joints let damp in, so they’re worth checking between tenancies.

Cladding and façade panels
Cladding and façade panels are generally separated by sealed joints. Each joint gets a sealant that suits the panel and its movement.
