Why deal with it now?
Done well, a resealed joint is a neat, straight line that suits the wall. A rushed bead with no backing looks untidy and does not last. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Lower End, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.

External mastic for homes and businesses in Lower End
We’re ARBOMaster approved applicators, and each external joint gets a sealant suited to it. Some surfaces need a primer before sealing and we use one wherever it does. If you are dealing with sealant that has lost its bond to the brick or render and cracked joints where brick meets render or frames, we can help, on brickwork movement joints, concrete & block and façade panels alike.
Older homes in small places like Lower End may be stone, brick or timber-framed, often with later extensions. Where one material meets another is where water generally gets in, and they need the right sealant at the right depth.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard.

Walls and rooflines in Lower End
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. With historic houses such as Woburn Abbey (about 3.9 miles south-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Lower End 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.
In the older streets around Church of St Mary the Virgin, an extension built onto an older house moves differently, and the joint between them takes the strain. Managing a site like Swallowfield Lower School? Then movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s. Letting a property close to Aspley Guise station? Then split movement joints are easy to miss on a rental until damp shows inside.

How long before the joint can be used?
That depends on the sealant used, so please follow the time we give you when we finish.
How often do external joints need resealing?
That depends on the wall, the weather and the movement. Signs to watch for are cracking, hardening and gaps at the edges.

Aftercare tips
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Have failed joints looked at early
- Leave the joints unpainted unless we have said otherwise
- Make sure movement joints are not pointed over
- Wash walls gently around the sealant
Do not paint over the new sealant unless we have said the product is paintable. Many exterior sealants aren’t designed to be painted and spoil the finish.
Leave a failed movement joint and water keeps getting into the wall. That can lead to damp patches, staining and frost damage.
Surface by surface
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.
Concrete and blockwork
Big joints in concrete need careful depth control. Backing rod sized to the joint sets it.

How the visit works
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it usually takes a few hours for a handful of joints, longer for a whole elevation. Somewhere as small as Lower End, 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.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Mention any tricky access
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
