External mastic in Perry Green
External mastic is a job where short cuts show quickly. Overfilled joints, missing backing rod and sealant laid over old sealant all tend to fail early. We take the old material out and do it properly. Common call-outs are for movement joints filled with mortar instead of sealant and plants rooting in failed movement joints, across render & cladding joints, brickwork movement joints and joints between brick and frames.
Around Perry Green, older buildings can be stone, brick or timber-framed, many with extensions added later. Where one material meets another is where water normally gets in, and they need the right sealant at the right depth.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, in Perry Green and everywhere else we cover.

Honest limits
We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so here’s what sealant can’t put right:

- Cracked brickwork or render that needs a builder or plasterer
- Adding movement joints to masonry that has none
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll say what we think.

Quotes for external mastic in Perry Green
Jobs vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Any working-time requirements on site
- How easy the joints are to reach
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
Asking for a quote
What to tell us when you ask for a quote:
- Where the property is
- What’s wrong with the joints now

For landlords and businesses
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report. We can quote for more than one property at once.
From a single let to a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
Why deal with it now?
Low-modulus sealants stretch easily, so they put less strain on the joint edges. That protects surfaces like brick, render and concrete. A stiffer product can damage the joint edge as it fails. Older cottages and farmhouses around Perry Green can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.
What you get with us
- You choose the colour before work begins
- Full insurance on every job
- Sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive in wet areas
- We never seal over old sealant

What the job involves on each surface
Render joints
Rendered walls have joints at beads, openings and changes of material. They’re resealed in a sealant that suits the render.
Copings and trims
Coping joints that leak let water straight down into the wall. Resealing them is a small job that protects a lot.
Should I try it myself first?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Perry Green buildings and the weather
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.
Managing a site like Alec Hunter Academy? Then larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing. For an older house near a landmark such as Parish Church of the Holy Trinity, old and new materials meet at the roofline and walls, which is where sealant earns its keep. For landlords with property near Cressing station, split movement joints are easy to miss on a rental until damp shows inside.

The process
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we don’t rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it generally takes a few hours to a few days, depending on the length of joint and the access. For a village or hamlet like Perry Green, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- First we look over the joints with you, agree which to renew and talk through access.
- The old mastic and anything lodged in the joint is removed.
- The joint faces are cleaned and primed where the sealant needs it.
- Backing rod goes in next, setting the depth and keeping the sealant off the back of the joint.
- The new sealant, chosen to suit the brick or render, is applied and tooled to a neat finish.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
