Newchurch: your questions answered
I let a flat near Ham Street station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we will send you a clear quote.
Is Newchurch in your area for external mastic?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Newchurch is part of that. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. Every job comes with a 12-month guarantee.
Does someone need to be in?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done and we will quote it together.
What is backing rod for?
Closed-cell backing rod sets the depth of the sealant and stops it sticking to the back of the joint. That way it bonds to the two sides only and can stretch.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work.
Can you seal joints between render and window frames?
Yes. The old joint is removed, both surfaces cleaned and primed where needed, and a flexible sealant applied. The colour is chosen to suit.
External mastic in Newchurch, done properly
Joints between dissimilar materials, like brick against render or concrete against a steel frame, see movement from both sides. A flexible sealant bridges the two where a rigid filler would soon crack. We’re often asked to deal with weeds or debris growing in open joints and leaking joints around cladding and façade panels, on concrete & block, copings & trims and façade panels.
Outside joints can only be sealed when they’re dry, so work in Newchurch is booked around the forecast. Tell us about access to all sides of the building, including outbuildings and garages.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.

How the visit works
Every visit runs the same way: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and clear up. It usually takes a few hours to a few days, depending on the length of joint and the access. Somewhere as small as Newchurch, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We start by checking each joint, agreeing the ones to redo and how we will reach them.
- The old mastic and anything lodged in the joint is removed.
- We clean both faces of the joint and prime them where the product calls for it.
- We push in closed-cell backing rod so the sealant is the right depth and bonds to the sides only.
- We gun in a flexible exterior sealant in a colour that suits the wall and tool it neatly.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

Advice
What affects the quote in Newchurch
You’ll get a clear quote before any work starts. It’s based on:
- When we can work, for business premises
- The size of the job
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- How easy the joints are to reach
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You’ll know the price before we begin.
What to tell us for a quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- If someone has resealed it before
- The address or postcode of the job
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and email photos if that is easy.
Looking after it afterwards
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Leave the joints unpainted unless we’ve said otherwise
- Deal with leaking gutters that soak the joints below
- Look over the joints every year, ideally after winter
- Point out the joints to other trades
If you have more work done on the wall, such as new render, cladding or an opening, show the contractor the movement joints. They must stay as flexible joints, never rendered or pointed over.
Leave a failed movement joint and water keeps getting into the wall. Over time it can mean damp inside, stained render or frost-damaged brick which cost more to put right than the joint.
Why act early in Newchurch
Resealing a run of joints in one go is normally better than patching one at a time. They’ve weathered the same way, and access only has to be arranged once. Around Newchurch, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
Why book with us
- Trusted Arbo and Everbuild sealants
- Colour picked to suit the job
- We’re fully insured
- White, clear, grey or coloured to suit, where the product allows

When to call us in Newchurch
Poor preparation causes many early failures: dusty or wet faces, no primer where one was needed, or old sealant left in. The new sealant then lets go long before it should.
The most common problems we see are:
- Cracked joints where brick meets render or frames
- Water getting into walls through failed joints
- Plants rooting in failed movement joints
- Rigid filler in a joint that should flex
Letting a property close to Ham Street station? Then failed wall and movement joints let damp in, so they’re worth checking between tenancies.

Newchurch buildings and the weather
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
Homes close to Church of St Peter and St Paul include some older properties, and the joints between older walls, newer extensions and the roofline need a sealant that can move.

What sealant work cannot fix
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we will tell you before we start. Sealant won’t put right:
- Cracks in the bricks or render themselves, away from the joints
- Render that is blown, hollow or coming away
- Damp from another source, such as a leaking gutter or a bridged damp-proof course
