Common call-outs are for movement joints with cracked, split or missing sealant and failed sealant between panels on a façade, across brickwork movement joints, copings & trims and joints between brick and frames.
External sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work around Pizien Well is planned for dry weather. Tell us about access to all sides of the building, including outbuildings and garages.
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.

Signs you need external mastic in Pizien Well
Joints sealed without backing rod, or far too deep, rarely last. Sealant bonded to three sides has nowhere to go and tears as soon as the joint widens.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Failed sealant between panels on a façade
- Joints with sealant missing in places
- Sealant pulling away from one side of the joint
- Hard, crazed mastic that has stopped moving
If you let a flat or house near Wateringbury station, split movement joints are easy to miss on a rental until damp shows inside.

Questions from Pizien Well
I let a flat near Wateringbury station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear price.
Do you cover Pizien Well for external mastic?
Yes, Pizien Well is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
When is the sealant fully cured?
That depends on the sealant used, so please follow the time we give you.
Do you use backing rod?
Backing rod controls the sealant depth and keeps it off the back of the joint. Then the sealant bonds to two faces and can move.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes. Every job comes with a 12-month guarantee.
Can you seal joints between render and window frames?
Yes. Different materials move at different rates, so the joint between them must be flexible. We choose one that suits both surfaces.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the product. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, and we never do. It may look fine at first, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
What happens on the day
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we’ll get on with it. The job generally takes a few hours for a handful of joints, longer for a whole elevation from start to finish. Somewhere as small as Pizien Well, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We start by walking round the building and agreeing the joints and the access.
- We cut out the old mastic and rake out anything in the joint.
- Joint faces are cleaned back and primed if the sealant needs it.
- We fit closed-cell backing rod to control the depth.
- We apply the sealant, tool it and check the whole run.
Preparing for the visit
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Clear the area around the work
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

Can I do it myself?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, 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.

When something else is needed
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’ll tell you before work begins. Sealant won’t put right:
- Rising or penetrating damp from elsewhere in the wall
- Structural movement, which needs a surveyor or engineer
- Cutting new joints into brickwork, which is building work rather than sealant work
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think.

Landlord and commercial work in Pizien Well
Landlords and letting agents in Pizien Well can book us as well as homeowners. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order before the next move-in.
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we will quote.
Leave it or put it right?
Sealing over the top of old mastic doesn’t hold for long. New sealant does not bond well to old, weathered sealant, so we always take the old sealant out. In a small place like Pizien Well, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed. Ask us for a quote and we will go through it with you.

Outside joints around Pizien Well
Historic houses like Old Soar Manor (about 3.5 miles west) are a reminder that the area around Pizien Well has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older brick and stone need a sealant that suits them, at the right joint depth. 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.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Wateringbury Church of England Primary School, movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s. Homes close to Church of St John the Baptist include some older properties, and the joints between older walls, newer extensions and the roofline need a sealant that can move.

What the job involves on each surface
Cladding and façade panels
If the façade has a specified sealant, that is what we use, or one the system allows. Send us any details you have about the façade.
Brickwork movement joints
Brick movement joints are often mistaken for a missing mortar line. If that’s happened, we rake it out and reseal it properly where it can be done safely.
