External mastic in Rudley Green
Ground-floor and low-level joints are straightforward to reach. 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. Typical jobs include sealant that has lost its bond to the brick or render and failed sealant between panels on a façade, on joints between brick and frames, concrete & block and façade panels.
In a village or hamlet like Rudley Green, 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.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months.

When it is not the sealant
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not solve:
- Structural movement, which needs a surveyor or engineer
- Cracking across the wall rather than at a joint
- Rising or penetrating damp from elsewhere in the wall
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will say what we think before booking.
What we seal
- Joints between brick and frames
- Render & cladding joints
- Brickwork movement joints
- Concrete & block
- Copings & trims
- Façade panels

Why it’s worth doing now in Rudley Green
The longer a joint stays open, the more water the wall takes in. In cold weather, frost can damage wet brick and render, so the damage spreads beyond the joint. In a small place like Rudley Green, 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, plus any working-time requirements on site. Call for a quick quote and we’ll go through it with you.

How the job changes by surface
Joints between dissimilar materials
Brick against render, concrete against metal, stone against timber: every change of material is a joint. We seal the joint with a flexible exterior sealant so neither cracks the other.
Copings and trims
Metal and stone copings both move with temperature, so a flexible sealant suits them best in all weathers.
What external mastic looks like in Rudley Green
Rudley Green is close to the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. That’s hard on movement joints and outside wall joints, especially on the side facing the sea. Historic houses like Danbury Place (about 4.3 miles west) are a reminder that the area around Rudley Green has older buildings as well as new. 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 North Fambridge station? Then split movement joints are easy to miss on a rental until damp shows inside. Managing a site like Purleigh Community Primary School? Then its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s.

How the visit works
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. Most jobs then take a few hours to a few days, depending on the length of joint and the access. For a village or hamlet like Rudley Green, the journey is planned in advance: 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.
- We take out the old sealant until the faces are sound.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Mention any parking rules near the property

Advice
Your questions about external mastic in Rudley Green
Is Rudley Green within the area you cover?
Yes. Rudley Green is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
I let a flat near North Fambridge station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
Are you insured?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes, regularly. Larger jobs can be planned room by room or area by area to suit the site.
Which products do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We work from Crawley. Our applicators cover Rudley Green, along with the rest of our area.
When is the sealant fully cured?
Many sealants skin over quickly but take longer to cure fully. We’ll give you the cure time for the product we used before we leave.
What information do you need?
A short description and the location. We’ll ask anything else we need to know.
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 need the right product, the right access and the right method.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Signs you need external mastic in Rudley Green
Joints sealed without backing rod, or far too deep, rarely last. Sealant bonded to three sides has nowhere to go and rips as the joint opens.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Joints where the bead has come unstuck
- Weathered mastic that no longer stretches
- Damp patches traced to an open external joint
- Brick movement joints where the sealant has split
If you live in an older home near Parish Church of All Saints, the joints between older walls, newer extensions and the roofline need a sealant that can move.
