What affects the quote in Lower Green
Jobs vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- How easy the joints are to reach
- The number of rooms or windows
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- The amount of work
Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are unsure, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.

External mastic in Lower Green
Joints between dissimilar materials, like brick against render or concrete against a steel frame, see movement from both sides. A flexible exterior sealant takes up that movement where a rigid filler would soon crack. We work on copings & trims, render & cladding joints and concrete & block, and common reasons people get in touch are failed sealant between panels on a façade and movement joints filled with mortar instead of sealant.
Somewhere as small as Lower Green, 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.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

When something else is needed
To be straight with you, some problems need a different trade:
- Damp from another source, such as a leaking gutter or a bridged damp-proof course
- Loose or hollow render, which needs re-rendering
- Adding movement joints to masonry that has none
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Walls and rooflines in Lower Green
Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast. With historic houses such as Stargroves (about 4.1 miles south-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Lower Green as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older walls and rooflines need a sealant that moves with them and suits the material.
In the older streets around Church of St Michael, older walls, gutters and the joints where extensions meet them need a flexible sealant. For landlords with property near Kintbury station, failed wall and movement joints let damp in, so they’re worth checking between tenancies. Managing a site like Inkpen Primary School? Then its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.

Your questions about external mastic in Lower Green
Will you come out to Lower Green?
Yes, Lower Green is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Kintbury 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 will give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes, always. There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.
What sealant do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, chosen to suit the joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Where do you work from?
We work from Crawley. Our applicators cover Lower Green, along with the rest of our area.
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 and have them redone then.
Can a movement joint be filled with mortar?
No, not where the gap is a movement joint. Filling it with mortar defeats its purpose and can lead to cracking. We’ll reseal it with a flexible sealant.
How do you reach high-level joints?
Each building is different. Send us pictures and a rough idea of the height and we will confirm how they can be reached safely.
What we do, step by step
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. For a village or hamlet like Lower Green, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip 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.
- We prime the faces where required.
- We gun in low-modulus sealant and tool it neatly.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Mention any tricky access
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
We also work for property managers and facilities teams. Several sites can be quoted together.
What the job involves on each surface
Cladding and façade panels
Metal and composite panels move a lot with temperature, so the joint sealant has to cope with frequent movement. The sealant is chosen with that in mind.
Render joints
Rendered walls have joints at beads, openings and changes of material. We reseal them with a flexible exterior sealant that suits the render colour.
Why act early in Lower Green
Mortar or ordinary filler might look like a quick way to close an open joint, but it stops the joint moving. The wall then cracks somewhere else. A flexible sealant over backing rod is what the joint needs. Around Lower Green, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Combining jobs into one visit usually makes better use of the time than several visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.
