- Plants rooting in failed movement joints
- Joints with sealant missing in places
- Failed sealant between panels on a façade
How to look after the new joints
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Keep high-pressure jets off the joints
- Point out the joints to other trades
- Check the sealant is paintable before painting near it
- Don’t let climbing plants root in the sealant
Follow the cure time we give you before the joint is knocked or disturbed. Most exterior sealants skin fast but take longer to cure right through.
Small splits are the time to act. At that stage it’s a simple cut out and reseal with no damage behind it to deal with.

Different surfaces, different methods
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.
Brickwork movement joints
Brick movement joints are often mistaken for a missing mortar line. If that is happened, we rake it out and reseal it properly.

Ludgershall: your questions answered
What guarantee comes with external mastic in Ludgershall?
All our work, in Ludgershall and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Can you do external mastic in Ludgershall?
Yes, Ludgershall is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job, and we will send you a clear quote.
When is the sealant fully cured?
That depends on the sealant used, so please follow the time we give you when we finish.
What colours does the sealant come in?
We choose a sealant colour to suit the brick, stone or render, so the joint sits quietly in the wall. Exterior sealants come in a good range of colours.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We’re approved under the ARBOMaster scheme.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the product. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. Hotels, offices and other businesses use us and we are fully insured.
What is backing rod for?
The foam is closed-cell backing rod. It stops the sealant going in too deep and bonding to three sides, which would stop it stretching.
What we do, step by step
Our applicators work methodically: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. Typically it takes a few hours to a few days, depending on the length of joint and the access, and the area is left clean. For a job in Ludgershall, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- First we look over the joints with you, agree which to renew and talk through access.
- Old sealant and any debris are cut and raked out.
- 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.
- The new sealant, chosen to suit the brick or render, is applied and tooled to a neat finish.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any water getting in
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Move anything stored near the joints

When to call us in Ludgershall
Every building moves. 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.
People normally contact us when they notice something like this:
- Movement joints with cracked, split or missing sealant
- Plants rooting in failed movement joints
- Rain getting behind render or cladding at a joint
- Gaps where render, brick and frames meet
In the older streets around Church of St James, old and new materials meet at the roofline and walls, which is where sealant earns its keep.
What to look for in a quote
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- How the colour is chosen
- When the joint can take water or movement

What else we do in Ludgershall
Why it’s worth doing now in Ludgershall
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. Around Ludgershall, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the sealant itself.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. We give a clear quote before we start.
