Outside joints around Priestwood Green
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day. With historic houses such as Cobham College (about 2.9 miles north-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Priestwood Green as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older walls and rooflines need a sealant that moves with them and suits the material.
Letting a property close to Sole Street station? Then outside joints that have cracked can let damp into a rental, so check them between lets. Managing a site like Culverstone Green Primary School? Then movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of Our Lady of the Meadow, older walls, gutters and the joints where extensions meet them need a flexible sealant.

External mastic in Priestwood Green
For buildings in Priestwood Green, we reseal external joints of all kinds, from brick movement joints to cladding panels. The preparation is the same whatever the wall: clean joint faces and the right depth. We work on brickwork movement joints, joints between brick and frames and render & cladding joints, and people most often call us about leaking joints around cladding and façade panels and rigid filler in a joint that should flex.
Somewhere as small as Priestwood Green, homes and farm buildings often face open ground, so walls and rooflines take the full force of wind and rain. Gutter joints and wall joints there need a sealant that can flex and stay put.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.

What we do, step by step
When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. Most jobs then take a few hours to a few days, depending on the length of joint and the access. In a small place like Priestwood Green, access is normally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We look at every joint and agree a colour to suit the wall.
- Failed sealant is removed back to clean, sound faces.
- Backing rod goes in so the sealant can stretch between the two faces.
- Primer is applied wherever the sealant needs it.
- We gun in low-modulus sealant and tool it neatly.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the work
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Mention any parking rules near the property

FAQs for Priestwood Green

Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Is Priestwood Green in your area for external mastic?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Priestwood Green is part of that. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We are approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
What should I tell you?
A short description and the location. If we need more, we’ll ask.
Will it make a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we tidy up before we go.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, every time. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Where do you work from?
We are a Crawley-based firm, with over 20 years’ experience. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Leave it or put it right?
Mortar or ordinary filler might look like a quick way to close an open joint, but it stops the joint moving. The movement then cracks the brickwork or render nearby. The correct repair is a flexible sealant with the right backing. In a small place like Priestwood Green, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Act on the first splits you see
- Show decorators and builders where the movement joints are
- Wash walls gently around the sealant
- Do not let climbing plants root in the sealant
Keep the joints clear of soil, plants and climbing growth. Damp material against the sealant shortens its life.
Once a joint can’t move, the wall finds another way, usually as cracking in the brickwork or render nearby. Resealing it early helps prevent that.
DIY versus a professional finish
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
Different surfaces, different methods
Copings and trims
Coping and trim joints face rain and sun head on. Each is resealed with a weatherproof, flexible sealant.
Brickwork movement joints
Brick walls have vertical movement joints to absorb expansion. They’re resealed over backing rod with a low-modulus sealant coloured to suit the wall.
When it is not the sealant
We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Subsidence or other structural problems
- Cracked brickwork or render that needs a builder or plasterer
- Failed render or damaged cladding panels
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will tell you honestly before you book.
