Common questions in Moreton
Is external mastic in Moreton guaranteed?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Do you cover smaller places like Moreton?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. Larger jobs can be planned room by room or area by area.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status and we’re fully insured too.
Does someone need to be in?
We need access to the joints, so we’ll agree that with you when we book. Indoors, that normally means someone at home.
Can you seal joints between render and window frames?
Yes. Different materials move at different rates, so a flexible sealant is needed where they meet. The sealant is matched to both sides.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before resealing.
How do you reach high-level joints?
Each building is different. Tell us the height, the number of joints and what’s below them and we will confirm how they can be reached safely.
How we handle external mastic in Moreton
As ARBOMaster approved applicators, we choose exterior sealants to suit the joint and the surfaces. Some surfaces need a primer before sealing. If you are dealing with movement joints filled with mortar instead of sealant and panel joints letting water in, we can put it right.
In a village or hamlet like Moreton, older cottages and farm buildings often stand in the open, where walls and rooflines take the weather head on. Gutter joints and wall joints there need a sealant that can flex and stay put.
You get a 12-month guarantee, the same in Moreton as everywhere else we work.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Avoid pressure-washing directly into sealant joints
- Check external joints each spring
- Leave the joints unpainted unless we have said otherwise
- Act on the first splits you see
Do not let soil, plants or ivy build up against the new joints. Damp material against the sealant shortens its life.
Small splits are the time to act. Then it’s a straightforward cut-out and reseal.
How it works
We keep the work tidy and contained to the joints we’re treating, so you can get on with your day. Expect the work to take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the building. Somewhere as small as Moreton, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We start by checking each joint, agreeing the ones to redo and how we will reach them.
- Old sealant and any debris are cut and raked out.
- We clean both faces of the joint and prime them where the product calls for it.
- Backing rod goes in next, setting the depth and keeping the sealant off the back of the joint.
- We gun in a flexible exterior sealant in a colour that suits the wall and tool it neatly.
How to prepare
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

Advice
What we’re called out for in Moreton
Sunlight, wet weather and frost wear exterior sealant down. Over the years it hardens, cracks on the surface and loses its give, so the joint eventually tears or comes away from one side.
The most common problems we see are:
- Weeds or debris growing in open joints
- Sealant that has lost its bond to the brick or render
- Damp patches traced to an open external joint
- Panel joints letting water in
Schools such as Moreton Church of England Voluntary Aided Primary School are buildings too, and its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s.

What external mastic looks like in Moreton
London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Mary the Virgin, an extension built onto an older house moves differently, and the joint between them takes the strain.

Why deal with it now?
Low-modulus sealants stretch easily, so they put less strain on the joint edges. That protects surfaces like brick, render and concrete. Too stiff a sealant can pull at the edges and break them. In a small place like Moreton, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs, along with when we can work on site. Ask us for a quote and we will go through it with you.
