External mastic in Mayland
For buildings in Mayland, we reseal external joints of all kinds, from brick movement joints to cladding panels. The preparation is the same whatever the wall: clean, sound faces and a controlled depth. Typical jobs include failed seals between different materials and damp patches traced to an open external joint, on joints between brick and frames, copings & trims and concrete & block.
Around Mayland, older buildings can be stone, brick or timber-framed, many with extensions added later. The joints where those materials meet are the weak points, and they need the right sealant at the right depth.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Mayland as everywhere else we work.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Mayland
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners. Sealant work between tenants is a simple way to keep a property in good order.
Should I try it myself first?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.

Mayland buildings and the weather
Mayland is within about 1 mile of the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. Both are hard on movement joints and outside wall joints, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Maylandsea Primary School, movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s. Letting a property close to Althorne station? Then split movement joints are easy to miss on a rental until damp shows inside.
Mayland is about 5 miles south-east of Maldon, in Essex. Jobs in Mayland get the same care as everywhere else we work: old sealant removed completely, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee. 644 places in Essex are on our list, large and small. For nearby work, see our Chelmsford page.

Keeping the joints in good condition
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Check the sealant is paintable before painting near it
- Walk round the building once a year and look at the joints
- Keep soil, plants and ivy away from the joints
- Keep movement joints as flexible joints, not mortar
Only paint over the joint if we have confirmed the sealant can take paint. Many exterior sealants are not designed to be painted, and paint can crack as the joint moves.
Leaks behind façade panels and render often go unseen. By the time there’s a damp patch, the damage can be well established.
Why it’s worth doing now in Mayland
Resealing a run of joints in one go is normally better than patching one at a time. They’ve weathered the same way and it means sorting access once. Around Mayland, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re unsure, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you an honest view and a quote.

Questions from Mayland
Is Mayland within the area you cover?
Yes. Mayland is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Does the coastal weather in Mayland affect outside sealant?
Near the sea, outside joints face more wind, rain and salt than they would inland, so preparation and the right sealant matter all the more. Walls facing the sea are generally the first to need attention.
Does someone need to be in?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. Indoors, that usually means someone at home.
Can you match the colour of my brickwork?
We aim for a joint that suits the wall rather than one that jumps out. We’ll talk through colour options before work begins from the range available.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, we can. More than one area can go on one quote.
Will you leave a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. We protect what’s around the joints.
Is there any odour?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, which fades as it sets. Ventilation helps.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work.
How it works
We work through the job in order: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the building. For a village or hamlet like Mayland, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- First, the joints are inspected and the access agreed.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
Ask for a quote
Asking for a quote is easy: let us know what needs doing and where, and roughly how big it is. A few pictures by email make the job easier to understand, and we will take it from there.
Advice
What the job involves on each surface
Concrete and blockwork
Concrete and block walls shrink as they dry and move with temperature. Their movement joints are sealed over backing rod with a flexible sealant.
Copings and trims
Coping and trim joints face rain and sun head on. We reseal them with an exterior sealant suited to the material.
