External mastic in Noke Common
Getting the depth right is half the job. Backing rod controls how deep the sealant goes and keeps it off the back of the joint, leaving it bonded to two faces so it can move with the wall. Common call-outs are for sealant pulling away from one side of the joint and joints pointed up with cement by mistake, across render & cladding joints, concrete & block and joints between brick and frames.
In a village or hamlet like Noke Common, older cottages and farm buildings often stand in the open, so walls and rooflines take the full force of wind and rain. Joints on those walls need a sealant that moves with the building and stays in place.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

Looking after it afterwards
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Check the sealant is paintable before painting near it
- Clear growth from the base of walls and joints
- Deal with leaking gutters that soak the joints below
- Make sure movement joints aren’t pointed over
Don’t 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 before water has had years to get in.
DIY versus a professional finish
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
Leave it or put it right?
Sealing over the top of old mastic does not hold for long. New sealant doesn’t bond well to old, weathered sealant, so the old joint is cut out fully first. In a small place like Noke Common, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, 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
- A sealant colour to suit the surroundings
- A choice of colours where the product allows

- Neat joints and a tidy finish

How it works
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it usually takes a few hours for a handful of joints, longer for a whole elevation. Somewhere as small as Noke Common, 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’ll reach them.
- The old mastic and anything lodged in the joint is removed.
- Both sides are cleaned back to sound material and primed if needed.
- Backing rod goes in next, setting the depth and keeping the sealant off the back of the joint.
- A flexible exterior sealant is applied and tooled in a colour to suit the wall.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

Your questions about external mastic in Noke Common
Is external mastic in a coastal place like Noke Common any different?
Coastal homes put outside sealant through more weather than inland ones, so the choice of sealant and the preparation matter even more. Walls facing the sea are normally the first to need attention.
Will you come out to Noke Common?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Should I try DIY first?
That depends on the joint. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs.
How long does external mastic take?
It depends on the size of the job, but most jobs take a few hours for a handful of joints, longer for a whole elevation. We will tell you when we quote.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course. Doing several areas at once is usually more efficient.
Do I have to be there?
That depends on where the joints are. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
Is it messy?
No. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
How do I get a quote for external mastic in Noke Common?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. For a quick quote, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a short description of the job.
Walls and rooflines in Noke Common
Noke Common is close to 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. London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
If you live in an older home near Church of St. John the Baptist, old and new materials meet at the roofline and walls, which is where sealant earns its keep. Managing a site like Hunnyhill Primary School? Then movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s.

Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report. We can quote for more than one property at once.
Different surfaces, different methods
Concrete and blockwork
Wide joints in concrete need the depth controlling carefully. We size the backing rod to the gap so the sealant isn’t too deep.
Brickwork movement joints
Clay brickwork grows slightly over its life and moves with the weather. The movement joint takes that up, so the sealant in it must stay soft and stretchy.
What we can’t put right
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- Movement that is more than a sealant joint can take
- Cutting new joints into brickwork, which is building work rather than sealant work
- Failed render or damaged cladding panels
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
