How we handle external mastic in Marden's Hill
Movement joints let brickwork, render and cladding expand and shrink without cracking. The sealant in it has to stretch and squeeze for years, so once it splits or hardens, the joint stops working and water gets in. We are often asked to deal with old sealant gone brittle and cracked and cracked joints where brick meets render or frames, across render & cladding joints, joints between brick and frames and concrete & block.
Somewhere as small as Marden's Hill, homes and farm buildings often face open ground, so walls and rooflines take the full force of wind and rain. Gutter joints and wall joints there need a sealant that can flex and stay put.
Big or small, you get the same 12-month guarantee.

What we’re called out for in Marden's Hill
Using the wrong sealant is another common reason. A stiff, general-purpose sealant cannot cope with a joint that moves a lot, so it pulls away from the edges.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Joints with sealant missing in places
- Panel joints letting water in
- Rigid filler in a joint that should flex
- Sealant that has lost its bond to the brick or render
If you live in an older home near St John's Church, an extension built onto an older house moves differently, and the joint between them takes the strain.
Questions to ask before booking
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- How the colour is chosen
- Are they insured?

Should I try it myself first?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
Surface by surface
Cladding and façade panels
Panel systems often rely on sealant between and around the panels. We reseal them with a sealant suited to the panel material.
Concrete and blockwork
The face of concrete or block is often dusty, so preparation is key. We prime where the sealant needs it.
What happens on the day
On the day, we look over the joints with you first, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins. The work normally takes a few hours for a handful of joints, longer for a whole elevation. Somewhere as small as Marden's Hill, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First we look over the joints with you, agree which to renew and talk through access.
- We cut out the failed sealant and rake out any dirt or growth.
- Both sides are cleaned back to sound material and primed if needed.
- We push in closed-cell backing rod so the sealant is the right depth and bonds to the sides only.
- A flexible exterior sealant is applied and tooled in a colour to suit the wall.
How to prepare
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

Advice
Questions from Marden's Hill
Do you cover smaller places like Marden's Hill?
Yes, Marden's Hill is covered. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Crowborough station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
How long does the job take?
Typically it takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the building. Larger jobs naturally take longer.
Will it make a mess?
We keep the work tidy. Nearby surfaces are protected.
Which products do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we will explain our choice.
How do you reach high-level joints?
That depends on how high the joints are and the ground below. Low-level joints are straightforward; for higher ones, send details and we’ll confirm the access.
Is it OK to fill a movement joint with cement?
No, not if it’s a movement joint. Filling it with mortar defeats its purpose. A flexible sealant is the right fill.
Do I have to be there?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. Once we have agreed the job, you don’t need to watch us work.
What external mastic looks like in Marden's Hill
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast. With historic houses such as Groombridge Place (about 3.8 miles north-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Marden's Hill as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older brick and stone need a sealant that suits them, at the right joint depth.
Managing a site like St John's Church of England Primary School? Then movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s. For landlords with property near Crowborough station, split movement joints are easy to miss on a rental until damp shows inside.

What happens if it’s left?
It often makes sense to reseal all the failing joints on an elevation together. Joints of the same age tend to fail together, and access only has to be arranged once. Around Marden's Hill, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
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 work begins.
