Lower Froyle External Mastic
External mastic across Lower Froyle and nearby, with every bit of old sealant taken out first.
- Hard, crazed mastic that has stopped moving
- Brick movement joints where the sealant has split
- Leaking joints around cladding and façade panels
External mastic for homes and businesses in Lower Froyle
A movement joint is only as good as its depth. Closed-cell backing rod sets the depth and stops the sealant sticking to the back, so it bonds to the two sides only and can stretch. We work on render & cladding joints, façade panels and concrete & block, and common reasons people get in touch are failed seals between different materials and damp patches traced to an open external joint.
External sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work around Lower Froyle is planned for dry weather. Tell us about access to all sides of the building, including outbuildings and garages.
Our work is backed for twelve months, in Lower Froyle and everywhere else we cover.

Do you need external mastic in Lower Froyle?
Buildings move more than people expect. Clay bricks expand slightly over their life, concrete and block shrink, and everything moves with temperature and wet. All of that ends up in the joint sealant.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Weathered mastic that no longer stretches
- Gaps where render, brick and frames meet
- Joints with sealant missing in places
- Rigid filler in a joint that should flex

Lower Froyle buildings and the weather
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.
In the older streets around Church of St Mary of the Assumption, old and new materials meet at the roofline and walls, which is where sealant earns its keep.

Lower Froyle questions
Do you work for landlords with property near Bentley (Hampshire) station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before we start.
Can you do external mastic in Lower Froyle?
Yes, Lower Froyle is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear quote.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Just list everything you need and you’ll get one quote.
Can a movement joint be filled with mortar?
No, not if it’s a movement joint. Filling it with mortar defeats its purpose. We’ll reseal it with a flexible sealant.
Will it make a mess?
No. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
Do you work at height?
It depends on the building. Where joints can be reached safely, we will do them. Give us some details and we will confirm the access.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we’re part of it.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured.
Leave it or put it right?
Low-modulus sealants stretch easily, so they put less strain on the joint edges. That protects surfaces like brick, render and concrete. A stiffer product can damage the joint edge as it fails. Older cottages and farmhouses around Lower Froyle can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You will know the price before we begin.

How it works
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins. The work generally takes a few hours to a few days, depending on the length of joint and the access. Somewhere as small as Lower Froyle, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We start by walking round the building and agreeing the joints and the access.
- 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.
- We apply the sealant, tool it and check the whole run.
Preparing for the visit
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

Keeping the joints in good condition
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Show decorators and builders where the movement joints are
- Avoid pressure-washing directly into sealant joints
- Ask before painting over external sealant
- Get split or bare joints resealed while the damage is small
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.
Once a joint cannot move, the wall finds another way, generally as cracking in the brickwork or render nearby. Resealing it early helps prevent that.
