External Mastic in North Looe
We cover North Looe for sealing brickwork movement joints, render, cladding and façade joints. Old material cut out, joints cleaned and sealed neatly.
- Joints where the bead has come unstuck
- Damp patches traced to an open external joint
- Gaps where render, brick and frames meet
How we handle external mastic in North Looe
For buildings in North Looe, we reseal external joints of all kinds, from brick movement joints to cladding panels. Every joint gets the same careful preparation: clean joint faces and the right depth. We work on brickwork movement joints, concrete & block and render & cladding joints, and common reasons people get in touch are sealant pulling away from one side of the joint and rigid filler in a joint that should flex.
Around North Looe, 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.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

Questions from North Looe
Do you cover North Looe for external mastic?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and North Looe is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.
I let a flat near Epsom Downs station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
Where do you work from?
We are a Crawley-based firm. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
What sealant do you use?
It depends on the joint: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
How long will you be here?
That depends on the amount of work, but most jobs take a few hours to a few days, depending on the length of joint and the access. We’ll tell you when we quote.
Should I point up the gap in my brickwork?
No. A mortar-filled joint cannot move, so the wall cracks somewhere else instead. It needs a flexible sealant over backing rod.
Will it make a mess?
We keep the work tidy. We protect what’s around the joints, and we clear up when we are done.
Do the sealants smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, which fades as it sets. Opening a window helps.

External mastic in North Looe: local notes
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast. With historic houses such as Fitznells Manor (about 1.3 miles north-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around North Looe as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older brick and stone need a sealant that suits them, at the right joint depth.
Homes close to St John's Church include some older properties, and older walls, gutters and the joints where extensions meet them need a flexible sealant. Rented homes near Epsom Downs station change hands often, and split movement joints are easy to miss on a rental until damp shows inside. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Wallace Fields Infant School and Nursery, its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s.

What we can’t put right
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Cracks in the bricks or render themselves, away from the joints
- Rising or penetrating damp from elsewhere in the wall
- Structural movement, which needs a surveyor or engineer
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Where we work in North Looe
- Concrete & block
- Copings & trims
- Façade panels
- Brickwork movement joints
- Render & cladding joints
- Joints between brick and frames
Aftercare tips
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep soil, plants and ivy away from the joints
- Look over the joints every year, ideally after winter
- Keep high-pressure jets off the joints
- Check the sealant is paintable before painting near it
Don’t paint over the new sealant unless we’ve said the product is paintable. Many exterior sealants are not designed to be painted, and paint can crack as the joint moves.
Water getting behind cladding or render can go unnoticed for a long time. When it finally shows inside, the joint may have been open for years.
Surface by surface
Concrete and blockwork
Concrete and block walls shrink as they dry and move with temperature. Their movement joints are sealed over backing rod with a flexible sealant.
Joints between dissimilar materials
Joints where frames, sills or panels meet the wall are common leak points. We cut out the old sealant and reseal with a product suited to both surfaces.
Quotes for external mastic in North Looe
The price is agreed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- Any working-time requirements on site

What we need to know
When you contact us, it’s useful to know:
- How we’d reach the joints
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- Roughly how big the job is
- What’s wrong with the joints now
We do not publish a price list, because every job is different. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To get started, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Why deal with it now?
Pointing a movement joint with mortar might seem a neat fix, but it stops the joint moving. The movement then cracks the brickwork or render nearby. A flexible sealant over backing rod is what the joint needs. Older cottages and farmhouses around North Looe can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
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.
