External mastic in Nately Scures, done properly
External mastic is a job where short cuts show quickly. New sealant over old, joints packed with mortar and beads with no backing all tend to fail early. We take the old material out and do it properly. We work on concrete & block, brickwork movement joints and joints between brick and frames, and common reasons people get in touch are rain getting behind render or cladding at a joint and failed sealant between panels on a façade.
Somewhere as small as Nately Scures, 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.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please call 0345 464 0079 or email us.

How to look after the new joints
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Tell anyone working on the walls about the movement joints
- Clear growth from the base of walls and joints
- Deal with leaking gutters that soak the joints below
- Check the sealant is paintable before painting near it
Look over the joints once a year, ideally after winter. Splits, gaps at the edges or plants in the joint are early warning signs.
If you can see gaps, plants or bare sections in a joint, have it checked. Early work is quicker and leaves a better finish.

FAQs for Nately Scures
Is Nately Scures within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you cover Nately Scures for external mastic?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Nately Scures is part of that. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.
Do I need to be at home?
That depends on where the joints are. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We are ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
How often do external joints need resealing?
It depends on the exposure, the movement and the product. Treat it as a maintenance item and look at it yearly and renew it when it starts to fail.
How long does the job take?
It depends on the size of the job, but as a guide it takes a few hours to a few days, depending on the length of joint and the access. We’ll tell you when we quote.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes, for a year. If anything isn’t right with the work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.
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. We choose one that suits both surfaces.
Quotes for external mastic in Nately Scures
There’s no set price list, because jobs vary so much. What we look at:
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- Any working-time requirements on site
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- The size of the job
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part, and we will explain the quote if you ask.

Do you need external mastic in Nately Scures?
Some movement joints have been pointed up with mortar, often by someone who didn’t know what it was for. The joint can’t move, so the wall cracks somewhere else instead.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Damp patches traced to an open external joint
- Joints with sealant missing in places
- Hard, crazed mastic that has stopped moving
- Joints pointed up with cement by mistake
Rented homes near Hook station change hands often, and failed wall and movement joints let damp in, so they’re worth checking between tenancies.
What your quote should include
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- How the colour is chosen
- How long the guarantee is
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
What happens if it’s left?
The longer a joint stays open, the more water the wall takes in. In cold weather, frost can damage wet brick and render around the joint, so the problem grows beyond the joint itself. Around Nately Scures, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.

Nately Scures buildings and the weather
With historic houses such as The Vyne (about 4.9 miles north-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Nately Scures as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older walls and rooflines need a sealant that moves with them and suits the material. Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
Schools such as Robert May's School are buildings too, and larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing. If you live in an older home near Church of St. Nicholas, the joints between older walls, newer extensions and the roofline need a sealant that can move.
