External & façade joints in Send, Surrey
Our applicators work in Send on sealing brickwork movement joints, render, cladding and façade joints. Old material cut out, joints cleaned and sealed neatly.
- Damp patches traced to an open external joint
- Moss and dirt in joints with no sealant left
- Cracked joints where brick meets render or frames
When it isn’t the sealant
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:
- Damp from another source, such as a leaking gutter or a bridged damp-proof course
- Cracks in the bricks or render themselves, away from the joints
- Adding movement joints to masonry that has none
If you’re not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

External mastic in Send
Failed sealant is cut out, the depth set with closed-cell backing rod, and the joint resealed with a low-modulus sealant made for outside. The colour is chosen to suit the brick or render so the line blends in. We’re often asked to deal with joints where the bead has come unstuck and movement joints filled with mortar instead of sealant, across brickwork movement joints, concrete & block and render & cladding joints.
Homes around Send range from older cottages to newer houses, with walls and rooflines of every type. Older homes need their gutter and trim joints kept tight, newer ones their movement joints.

Leave it or put it right?
A properly done movement joint is an even line in a colour that suits the wall. A rushed bead with no backing looks untidy and doesn’t last so it’s worth doing right. Homes in smaller places like Send can face more weather, and failed outside joints let damp into walls. Inside, a split seal lets water into floors and panels just as it would anywhere.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.

- Homes, businesses and hotels

Common questions in Send
Is Send in your area for external mastic?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Send is part of that. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Do you cover smaller places like Send?
Yes, Send is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Does someone need to be in?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. Indoors, that normally means someone at home.
How often do external joints need resealing?
That depends on the wall, the weather and the movement. Look for splits, hardening or edges coming away and have them redone then.
Is it OK to fill a movement joint with cement?
No. Cement or mortar cannot stretch and the joint fails. If it has already been filled, we can normally cut it out and reseal it.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old sealant, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. We remove it all first.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. Hotels, offices and other businesses use us, and we’re fully insured.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Of course. Doing several areas at once is usually more efficient.
What external mastic looks like in Send
Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast. Historic houses like Clandon Park (about 2.9 miles south) are a reminder that the area around Send has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older brick and stone need a sealant that suits them, at the right joint depth.
Homes close to St William of York include some older properties, and the joints between older walls, newer extensions and the roofline need a sealant that can move. Managing a site like Send CofE Primary School? Then movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s. For landlords with property near Clandon station, split movement joints are easy to miss on a rental until damp shows inside.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
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.
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.
What affects the quote in Send
You will get a clear quote before we start. It’s based on:
- The amount of work

We don’t show prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a quick quote and we will talk you through it.
What to tell us for a quote
You don’t need to know the technical terms. Just tell us:
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Where the property is
- The rough size of the job
Quotes start with a quick conversation. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is, and we will explain how we’d tackle it. When it suits you, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
How it works
When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes a few hours for a handful of joints, longer for a whole elevation. A visit to Send is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- We inspect the joints and agree which need resealing and how they’ll be reached.
- The old mastic and anything lodged in the joint is removed.
- We clean both faces of the joint and prime them where the product calls for it.
- Closed-cell backing rod is fitted to set the depth and stop three-sided bonding.
- We gun in a flexible exterior sealant in a colour that suits the wall 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
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

Keeping the joints in good condition
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Ask before painting over external sealant
- Clear growth from the base of walls and joints
- Keep movement joints as flexible joints, not mortar
- Have failed joints looked at early
Only paint over the joint if we have confirmed the sealant can take paint. Many exterior sealants aren’t designed to be painted, and paint can crack as the joint moves.
Small splits are the time to act. At that stage it’s a simple cut out and reseal with no damage behind it to deal with.
