External mastic in Lower Cadsden, done properly
Movement joints let brickwork, render and cladding expand and shrink without cracking. Its sealant has to flex with the building, season after season, so once it splits or hardens, the joint stops working and water gets in. We work on joints between brick and frames, concrete & block and copings & trims, and people most often call us about sealant pulling away from one side of the joint and leaking joints around cladding and façade panels.
Around Lower Cadsden, older buildings can be stone, brick or timber-framed, many with extensions added later. Where one material meets another is where water generally gets in.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.

Do you need external mastic in Lower Cadsden?
A lot of failed joints come down to preparation: joint faces that were dusty or damp, unprimed where they needed it, or still carrying old sealant. The new sealant then lets go long before it should.
People normally contact us after spotting something like this:
- Brick movement joints where the sealant has split
- Weeds or debris growing in open joints
- Rigid filler in a joint that should flex
- Failed seals between different materials
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Nicholas, an extension built onto an older house moves differently, and the joint between them takes the strain.
Questions to ask before you book
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- Is VAT in the price?

For landlords and businesses
Landlords and letting agents in Lower Cadsden can book us as well as homeowners. Sealant work between tenants is a simple way to keep a property in good order.
From a single let to a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
Why deal with it now?
A low-modulus sealant is chosen because it moves without pulling hard at the edges. That matters on brick, render and concrete, which can be weaker at the face. Too stiff a sealant can pull at the edges and break them. Around Lower Cadsden, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part.
Why us?
- ARBOMaster approved applicator
- Trusted Arbo and Everbuild sealants
- Tidy, careful work

Can I do it myself?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
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 fails, we can still redo it.
Aftercare tips
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Leave the joints unpainted unless we’ve said otherwise
- Show decorators and builders where the movement joints are
- Clear growth from the base of walls and joints
- Deal with leaking gutters that soak the joints below
If you have more work done on the wall, such as new render, cladding or an opening, show the contractor the movement joints. They must stay as flexible joints, never rendered or pointed over.
An open movement joint lets rain into the wall every time it pours. That can lead to damp patches, staining and frost damage which cost more to put right than the joint.
The process
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first, so you know exactly what we are doing. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins. The work generally takes a few hours for a handful of joints, longer for a whole elevation. For a village or hamlet like Lower Cadsden, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We look at every joint and agree a colour to suit the wall.
- Failed sealant is removed back to clean, sound faces.
- Backing rod goes in so the sealant can stretch between the two faces.
- Primer is applied wherever the sealant needs it.
- We gun in low-modulus sealant and tool it neatly.
How to prepare
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Clear the area around the work
