External mastic in Moortown, done properly
Ground-floor and low-level joints are straightforward to reach. For joints higher up, give us some details of the building and we will confirm what access is needed. If you have leaking joints around cladding and façade panels and rain getting behind render or cladding at a joint, we can help, whatever the surface.
Around Moortown, older buildings can be stone, brick or timber-framed, many with extensions added later. Where one material meets another is where water usually gets in, and they need the right sealant at the right depth.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.

Why act early in Moortown
Resealing a run of joints in one go is usually better than patching one at a time. Joints of the same age tend to fail together, and access only has to be arranged once. In a small place like Moortown, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

What affects the quote in Moortown
You will get a clear quote before we start. It takes into account:
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- The number of rooms or windows
- The product the joint needs
- Whether the work is at height
We do not show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote.
Helping us quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- The type of property
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
Asking for a quote is easy: let us know what needs doing and where and its rough size. Photos by email help us understand the job, and we’ll come back to you with a quote.
Aftercare tips
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Act on the first splits you see
- Never let anyone fill a movement joint with mortar
- Keep water from gutters off the wall
- Tell anyone working on the walls about the movement joints
Keep pressure washers away from the sealant. A strong jet can damage the edges of the bead and let water in behind.
Water getting behind cladding or render can go unnoticed for a long time. By the time there’s a damp patch, the damage can be well established so early resealing is worth it.
What sealant work can’t fix
To be straight with you, some problems need a different trade:
- Subsidence or other structural problems
- Cracked brickwork or render that needs a builder or plasterer
- Adding movement joints to masonry that has none
If you are not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Brickwork movement joints
- Joints between brick and frames
- Copings & trims
- Concrete & block
- Façade panels
- Render & cladding joints
When to call us in Moortown
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 tears as soon as the joint widens.
People usually contact us after spotting something like this:
- Weathered mastic that no longer stretches
- Gaps where render, brick and frames meet
- Movement joints with cracked, split or missing sealant
- Joints where the bead has come unstuck
Schools such as Brighstone Church of England Aided Primary School are buildings too, and its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s.
Questions to ask before booking
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- Whether you can choose the colour
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- What insurance they hold
How it works
At the end, we look at the finished work together and tell you how long to leave it. The work normally takes a few hours for a handful of joints, longer for a whole elevation, depending on the amount of work. Somewhere like Moortown needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We look at every joint and agree a colour to suit the wall.
- We take out the old sealant until the faces are sound.
- Closed-cell backing rod is pushed in so the sealant bonds to two sides only.
- We prime the faces where required.
- A low-modulus exterior sealant is gunned in and tooled to a neat finish.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the work
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

Walls and rooflines in Moortown
Moortown is within about 2 miles 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. Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
For an older house near a landmark such as St. Mary's Church, the joints between older walls, newer extensions and the roofline need a sealant that can move.

Can landlords and businesses book you?
Yes. We work for householders, landlords, letting agents, businesses and hotels in Moortown.
How long will you be here?
Typically it takes a few hours to a few days, depending on the length of joint and the access. Larger jobs naturally take longer, and we’ll say how long yours will take.
Do you seal joints where cladding meets other materials?
Yes. Different materials move at different rates, so a flexible sealant is needed where they meet. The sealant is matched to both sides.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Does someone need to be in?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can a movement joint be filled with mortar?
No. A mortar-filled joint can’t move, so the wall cracks somewhere else instead. It needs a flexible sealant over backing rod.
