About our external mastic in Nounsley
Low-level joints can generally be done from the ground. Where joints are higher up, tell us about the building when you get in touch and we will confirm what’s needed to reach them safely. If you have hard, crazed mastic that has stopped moving and brick movement joints where the sealant has split, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
In a village or hamlet like Nounsley, 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.
Our work is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

Leave it or put it right?
A properly done movement joint is an even line in a colour that suits the wall. A hurried job with smeared edges and no backing looks worse and fails sooner so it’s worth doing right. In a small place like Nounsley, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
There are no prices on our website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a quick quote, please ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will talk you through it.

Different surfaces, different methods
Brickwork movement joints
Brick moves with heat and moisture, and grows a little over time. That movement goes into the joint, so the sealant in it must stay soft and stretchy.
Concrete and blockwork
Big joints in concrete need careful depth control. Backing rod sized to the joint sets it so the sealant is not too deep.
How we quote for external mastic
There’s no set price list, because no two jobs are the same. What we look at:
- Whether the work is at height
- When we can work, for business premises
- Which sealant suits the joint
- The number of rooms or windows
What it costs depends on how much there is to do, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. We give a clear quote before we start, so you know where you stand.
What to tell us for a quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Please mention:
- The type of property
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Whether it has been sealed before
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
To get a quote, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the location and a short description of the problem. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts.

What happens on the day
Our applicators work methodically: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. Typically it takes a few hours for a handful of joints, longer for a whole elevation. Somewhere like Nounsley needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We start by walking round the building and agreeing the joints and the access.
- Every bit of old sealant and any mortar or debris is cut out.
- The faces are brushed clean and primed where the product requires it.
- We fit closed-cell backing rod to control the depth.
- The exterior sealant is applied, tooled and checked along its length.
Preparing for the visit

Walls and rooflines in Nounsley
With historic houses such as Danbury Place (about 4 miles south-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Nounsley as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older walls and rooflines need a sealant that moves with them and suits the material. Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
Letting a property close to Hatfield Peverel station? Then outside joints that have cracked can let damp into a rental, so check them between lets. Schools such as Hatfield Peverel Infant School are buildings too, and its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s. For an older house near a landmark such as Parish Church of St Andrew, old and new materials meet at the roofline and walls, which is where sealant earns its keep.

Looking after it afterwards
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Show decorators and builders where the movement joints are
- Leave the joints unpainted unless we have said otherwise
- Keep high-pressure jets off the joints
- Don’t let climbing plants root in the sealant
Keep pressure washers away from the sealant. High-pressure water can lift the edges and let water in behind.
Leaks behind façade panels and render often go unseen. When it finally shows inside, the joint may have been open for years, so it’s worth resealing at the first signs.
What we cannot put right
We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Render that is blown, hollow or coming away
- Subsidence or other structural problems
- Cracked brickwork or render that needs a builder or plasterer
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.
