External & façade joints in Littleton, Surrey
Our applicators work in Littleton on sealing brickwork movement joints, render, cladding and façade joints. Old material cut out, joints cleaned and sealed neatly and every job guaranteed for a year.
- Old sealant gone brittle and cracked
- Water getting into walls through failed joints
- Plants rooting in failed movement joints
Keeping the joints in good condition
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Make sure movement joints aren’t pointed over
- Deal with leaking gutters that soak the joints below
- Check the sealant is paintable before painting near it
- Check external joints each spring
Avoid pressure-washing straight into the joints. A strong jet can damage the edges of the bead and let water in behind.
Water getting behind cladding or render can go unnoticed for a long time. When it finally shows inside, the joint may have been open for years so early resealing is worth it.
External mastic in Littleton, done properly
Many failed façade joints only get noticed once there’s a stain or a damp patch inside. We look over the joints, agree the ones to renew and reseal with a flexible, weatherproof product in a matching colour. Typical jobs include gaps where render, brick and frames meet and rigid filler in a joint that should flex, across concrete & block, joints between brick and frames and brickwork movement joints.
In a village or hamlet like Littleton, older cottages and farm buildings often stand in the open, where walls and rooflines take the weather head on. Gutter joints and wall joints there need a sealant that can flex and stay put.
All our work is covered by a 12-month guarantee.

What else we do in Littleton
DIY versus a professional finish
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
If you’re 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 doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
How we quote for external mastic
You’ll get a clear quote before work begins. It takes into account:
- The type of sealant required
- When we can work, for business premises
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- How many areas need sealing
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You’ll know the price before we begin.
Helping us quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and email pictures if that is easy.
When to call us in Littleton
Sometimes a movement joint was filled with mortar or a rigid filler, often by someone who didn’t know what it was for. The joint can’t move, so the wall cracks somewhere else instead.
The problems people usually mention when they call are:
- Hard, crazed mastic that has stopped moving
- Cracked joints where brick meets render or frames
- Joints with sealant missing in places
- Joints where the bead has come unstuck
Managing a site like Loseley Fields Primary School? Then larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing.
Questions to ask before you book
- Which colour the sealant will be
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Who turns up on the day
- How hidden problems are handled
Surface by surface
Cladding and façade panels
Panel systems often rely on sealant between and around the panels. Each joint gets a sealant that suits the panel and its movement.
Concrete and blockwork
Big joints in concrete need careful depth control. We size the backing rod to the gap.
How the visit works
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Point us to the joints and we’ll get on with it. The work itself takes a few hours for a handful of joints, longer for a whole elevation from start to finish. Somewhere as small as Littleton, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We inspect the joints and agree which need resealing and how they’ll be reached.
- We cut out the failed sealant and rake out any dirt or growth.
- The joint faces are cleaned and primed where the sealant needs it.
- Closed-cell backing rod is fitted to set the depth and stop three-sided bonding.
- A flexible exterior sealant is applied and tooled in a colour to suit the wall.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

Outside joints around Littleton
London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day. Historic houses like Loseley Park (about 0.2 miles west) are a reminder that the area around Littleton has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older brick and stone need a sealant that suits them, at the right joint depth.
In the older streets around Church of St Francis, an extension built onto an older house moves differently, and the joint between them takes the strain. For landlords with property near Farncombe station, split movement joints are easy to miss on a rental until damp shows inside.

Common questions in Littleton
Do you work for landlords with property near Farncombe station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Will you come out to Littleton?
Yes. Littleton is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Where do you work from?
Our base is Crawley. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Why do you put foam in the joint first?
Closed-cell backing rod sets the depth of the sealant and stops it sticking to the back of the joint. That way it bonds to the two sides only and can stretch.
Will there be a smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures. Ventilation helps.
What’s an expansion joint in brickwork?
Walls move with heat, cold and moisture, and planned joints take up that movement. It’s closed with backing rod and a flexible sealant.
