How we handle external mastic in Slindon
For buildings in Slindon, 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. If you have hard, crazed mastic that has stopped moving and movement joints with cracked, split or missing sealant, we can put it right, on façade panels, render & cladding joints and copings & trims alike.
Somewhere as small as Slindon, homes and farm buildings often face open ground, where walls and rooflines take the weather head on. Joints on those walls need a sealant that moves with the building and stays in place.
Our work is backed for twelve months.

What happens on the day
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we do not rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours for a handful of joints, longer for a whole elevation. Somewhere as small as Slindon, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First we look over the joints with you, agree which to renew and talk through access.
- Old sealant and any debris are cut and raked out.
- Both sides are cleaned back to sound material and primed if needed.
- Closed-cell backing rod is fitted to set the depth and stop three-sided bonding.
- The new sealant, chosen to suit the brick or render, is applied and tooled to a neat finish.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Clear the area around the work
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

Related advice
Keeping the joints in good condition
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Clear growth from the base of walls and joints
- Fix overflowing gutters above sealed joints
- Get split or bare joints resealed while the damage is small
- Avoid pressure-washing directly into sealant joints
Keep the joints clear of soil, plants and climbing growth. Anything that holds water against the joint wears it out sooner.
Gaps, plants or missing sealant in a joint are worth getting looked at. Early work is quicker and leaves a better finish.
What sealant work cannot fix
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:
- Movement that is more than a sealant joint can take
- Walls that need new movement joints cut into them
- Cracks in the bricks or render themselves, away from the joints
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.
Joints and surfaces we work on

Surface by surface
Copings and trims
Metal and stone copings both move with temperature, so a flexible sealant suits them best.
Render joints
Cracks along render joints let water in behind the coat. A sound joint keeps the render dry behind.
Questions from Slindon

How do I get a quote for external mastic in Slindon?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. For a quick quote, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a short description of the job.
Can you seal joints between render and window frames?
Yes. Different materials move at different rates, so a flexible sealant is needed where they meet. We choose one that suits both surfaces.
Can you reach joints on upper floors?
It depends on the building. We work on joints that can be reached safely. Tell us about the building and we’ll confirm what access is needed.
Will the new joint stand out?
The sealant colour is picked to suit the wall so the joint blends in. There’s a wide choice of exterior colours.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Just list everything you need and we will quote it together.

External mastic in Slindon: local notes
London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind. Historic houses like Bignor Roman Villa (about 4.3 miles north) are a reminder that the area around Slindon has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older walls and rooflines need a sealant that moves with them and suits the material.
In the older streets around The Parish Church of St Mary, the joints between older walls, newer extensions and the roofline need a sealant that can move. If you look after a building such as Slindon CofE Primary School, larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing.

Leave it or put it right?
Done well, a resealed joint is a neat, straight line that suits the wall. A hurried job with smeared edges and no backing looks worse and fails sooner, so it pays to do it properly once. Around Slindon, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.

Signs you need external mastic in Slindon
Buildings move more than people expect. Brickwork grows a little over the years, blockwork and concrete shrink, and all of it moves with heat and moisture. The sealant in the movement joints takes that strain.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Plants rooting in failed movement joints
- Panel joints letting water in
- Joints where the bead has come unstuck
- Rain getting behind render or cladding at a joint
Rented homes near Barnham station change hands often, and outside joints that have cracked can let damp into a rental, so check them between lets.
Questions to ask before booking
- How long the guarantee is
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- How much experience the applicator has
- How long to leave it before use
