About our external mastic in Little Warley
External mastic is a job where short cuts show quickly. Overfilled joints, missing backing rod and sealant laid over old sealant rarely last long. We take the old material out and do it properly. If you have joints with sealant missing in places and weathered mastic that no longer stretches, we can put it right, on concrete & block, brickwork movement joints and render & cladding joints alike.
Somewhere as small as Little Warley, homes and farm buildings often face open ground, so walls and rooflines take the full force of wind and rain. Joints on those walls need a sealant that moves with the building and stays in place.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

What affects the quote in Little Warley
Every job gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- The number and length of the joints
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- Any working-time requirements on site
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That is why we ask a few questions first.
What to tell us for a quote
What to tell us when you ask for a quote:
- The rough size of the job
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- How we’d reach the joints
- The type of property
Call for a quick quote, or send an email if you’d rather. Describe what needs sealing and we will talk you through the work and give you a clear price.
What happens if it’s left?
Low-modulus sealants stretch easily, so they put less strain on the joint edges. That protects surfaces like brick, render and concrete. Too stiff a sealant can pull at the edges and break them. In a small place like Little Warley, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part, and we will explain the quote if you ask.

Surface by surface
Cladding and façade panels
Panels heat up and cool down quickly, so the joints work hard every day. We choose the product to suit.
Brickwork movement joints
Vertical joints in long brick walls let the brickwork expand without cracking. They’re resealed over backing rod with a low-modulus sealant in a colour to suit the brick.
What we can’t put right
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Subsidence or other structural problems
- Cracked brickwork or render that needs a builder or plasterer
- Loose or hollow render, which needs re-rendering
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Do you cover smaller places like Little Warley?
Yes, Little Warley is covered. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can you reach joints on upper floors?
That depends on how high the joints are and the ground below. Ground-floor joints are simple; for higher ones, send details and we will confirm the access.
Should I try DIY first?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Does someone need to be in?
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.
How long does external mastic take?
As a guide, most jobs take a few hours to a few days, depending on the length of joint and the access. Bigger jobs take longer.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done and you will get one quote.
What colours does the sealant come in?
We choose a sealant colour to suit the brick, stone or render so the joint blends in. Exterior sealants come in a good range of colours.

External mastic in Little Warley: local notes
With historic houses such as Hare Hall (about 4.5 miles west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Little Warley 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. 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.
Rented homes near West Horndon station change hands often, and outside joints that have cracked can let damp into a rental, so check them between lets. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Peter, old and new materials meet at the roofline and walls, which is where sealant earns its keep. If you look after a building such as Woodlands School Great Warley, its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s.

Can I do it myself?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
What we do, step by step
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, protect the area around them, do the work and tidy away. It generally takes a few hours for a handful of joints, longer for a whole elevation. In a small place like Little Warley, access is generally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- Each joint is checked and the colour of the new sealant agreed.
- We take out the old sealant until the faces are sound.
- Closed-cell backing rod is pushed in so the sealant bonds to two sides only.
- Primer is applied wherever the sealant needs it.
- A low-modulus exterior sealant is gunned in and tooled to a neat finish.
