External mastic in Paglesham Eastend
For buildings in Paglesham Eastend, we reseal external joints of all kinds, from brick movement joints to cladding panels. The preparation is the same whatever the wall: clean, sound faces and a controlled depth. We work on joints between brick and frames, brickwork movement joints and façade panels, and the jobs we see most are weathered mastic that no longer stretches and movement joints filled with mortar instead of sealant.
In a village or hamlet like Paglesham Eastend, older cottages and farm buildings often stand in the open, where walls and rooflines take the weather head on. Gutter joints and wall joints there need a sealant that can flex and stay put.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after we’ve gone.

Should I try it myself first?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Why it’s worth doing now in Paglesham Eastend
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 pays to do it properly once. In a small place like Paglesham Eastend, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
What it costs depends on how much there is to do, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
Why us?
- Homes, businesses and hotels
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet
- Colour picked to suit the job
- We agree the colour with you first

What affects the cost of external mastic
Every job gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- The product the joint needs
- The number and length of the joints
- How many areas need sealing
- Any mould that needs treating
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs. Call for a quick quote and we will go through it with you.
Helping us quote
What to tell us when you ask for a quote:
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
If you’re in Paglesham Eastend and need external mastic, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us. Tell us what the problem is and where, and you will get a clear quote before any work starts.
When something else is needed
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- Loose or hollow render, which needs re-rendering
- Adding movement joints to masonry that has none
- Cracked brickwork or render that needs a builder or plasterer
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think before booking.
What we seal
- Render & cladding joints
- Concrete & block
- Joints between brick and frames
- Façade panels
- Copings & trims
- Brickwork movement joints
Common problems we fix in Paglesham Eastend
UV, rain and frost all age exterior sealant. In time it goes hard, crazes on the surface and stops stretching, so the next time the wall moves, it splits or pulls away.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Gaps where render, brick and frames meet
- Joints with sealant missing in places
- Rain getting behind render or cladding at a joint
- Rigid filler in a joint that should flex
Homes close to St Peters Mission Hall include some older properties, and old and new materials meet at the roofline and walls, which is where sealant earns its keep.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- When the joint can take water or movement
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
- The length of the guarantee
How the visit works
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and tidy away. Most jobs take a few hours for a handful of joints, longer for a whole elevation. Somewhere like Paglesham Eastend needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- Each joint is checked and the colour of the new sealant agreed.
- Failed sealant is removed back to clean, sound faces.
- Closed-cell backing rod is pushed in so the sealant bonds to two sides only.
- We prime the faces where required.
- We gun in low-modulus sealant and tool it neatly.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on

How long before the joint can be used?
Most sealants are touch-dry well before they’re fully cured. We’ll tell you how long to leave the joint.
Where are you based?
Our base is Crawley, with over 20 years’ experience. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.
When will the joints need doing again?
There’s no fixed answer: sunny, exposed elevations and busy joints wear faster. Check them each year and reseal when they split or harden. Every job carries our 12-month guarantee.
Will there be a smell?
Possibly a little. It fades as the sealant cures.
Can you match the colour of my brickwork?
There’s a good range of exterior colours, including greys, browns, whites and stone tones. We choose the closest to your brick or render so the joint does not draw the eye.
Different surfaces, different methods
Render joints
Render is weaker at the surface than brick, so a low-modulus sealant is kinder to the joint edges. Priming is done where the sealant calls for it.
Brickwork movement joints
Vertical joints in long brick walls let the brickwork expand without cracking. They’re resealed over backing rod with a low-modulus sealant in a colour to suit the brick.
