Your questions about external mastic in Mayford
Is Mayford within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you cover Mayford for external mastic?
Yes, Mayford is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing.
How long should I leave it?
Cure times vary by product. Before we leave, we will tell you the cure time.
What sealant do you use?
The product depends on the job: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Is it OK to fill a movement joint with cement?
No, not if it’s a movement joint. Pointing it stops it working, and the wall may crack nearby. A flexible sealant is the right fill.
Is it messy?
Tidy work is part of the job. We protect what’s around the joints.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done and we will quote it together.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
External mastic in Mayford, done properly
Failed sealant is cut out, the depth set with closed-cell backing rod, and the joint resealed with a low-modulus sealant made for outside. The colour is chosen to suit the brick or render so the joint doesn’t stand out. If you have old sealant gone brittle and cracked and sealant that has lost its bond to the brick or render, we can help, whatever the surface.
Somewhere as small as Mayford, 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.
Every job is covered by our 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Surrey.

Keeping the joints in good condition
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep high-pressure jets off the joints
- Get split or bare joints resealed while the damage is small
- Clear growth from the base of walls and joints
- Never let anyone fill a movement joint with mortar
Give the sealant the cure time we tell you before anything rubs against it. Most exterior sealants skin fast but take longer to cure right through.
An open movement joint lets rain into the wall every time it pours. Over time it can mean damp inside, stained render or frost-damaged brick, all bigger jobs than a reseal.
Common problems we fix in Mayford
Many joints fail because they were sealed too deep or with nothing behind them. If the sealant sticks to the back as well as the sides, it cannot stretch and rips as the joint opens.
The problems people usually mention when they call include:
- Joints pointed up with cement by mistake
- Movement joints with cracked, split or missing sealant
- Water getting into walls through failed joints
- Plants rooting in failed movement joints
Homes close to St Mark's Church include some older properties, and the joints between older walls, newer extensions and the roofline need a sealant that can move.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- How long the guarantee is
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
What we cannot put right
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:
- Walls that need new movement joints cut into them
- Cracking across the wall rather than at a joint
- Rising or penetrating damp from elsewhere in the wall
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
What we seal
- Façade panels
- Copings & trims

- Concrete & block
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Hotels need rooms back in use, so the work can be planned room by room. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Surface by surface
Brickwork movement joints
Vertical joints in long brick walls let the brickwork expand without cracking. We reseal them with a low-modulus sealant over backing rod.
Render joints
Render is weaker at the surface than brick, so a low-modulus sealant is kinder to the joint edges. We prime where the product needs it.

Can I do it myself?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
How the visit works
We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. For most jobs that takes a few hours to a few days, depending on the length of joint and the access. In a small place like Mayford, access is usually the main thing to plan. 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.
- Joint faces are cleaned back and primed if the sealant needs it.
- We fit closed-cell backing rod to control the depth.
- We apply the sealant, tool it and check the whole run.
Before we arrive
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

Outside joints around Mayford

In older buildings, older brick and stone need a sealant that suits them, at the right joint depth. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
If you let a flat or house near Worplesdon station, outside joints that have cracked can let damp into a rental, so check them between lets. Managing a site like Westfield Primary School? Then movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s.
