Do I have to be there?
It depends on the job. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
Can I do it myself?

Is there a guarantee?
Yes. There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, wherever you are.
What’s an expansion joint in brickwork?
Brickwork, render and cladding all move a little, so long walls have planned gaps to take that movement. It’s closed with backing rod and a flexible sealant.

External mastic for homes and businesses in Smallbridge
On houses, flats and commercial buildings across Smallbridge, we reseal joints in brickwork, render, cladding and façade panels. Every joint gets the same careful preparation: clean, sound faces and a controlled depth. If you have movement joints with cracked, split or missing sealant and old sealant gone brittle and cracked, we can help.
Older homes in small places like Smallbridge may be stone, brick or timber-framed, often with later extensions. The joints where those materials meet are the weak points, and they need the right sealant at the right depth.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

When to call us in Smallbridge
Buildings move more than people expect. Clay bricks expand slightly over their life, concrete and block shrink, and everything moves with temperature and wet. All of that ends up in the joint sealant.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Weeds or debris growing in open joints
- Cracked joints where brick meets render or frames
- Rigid filler in a joint that should flex
- Sealant pulling away from one side of the joint
For landlords with property near Marden station, failed wall and movement joints let damp in, so they’re worth checking between tenancies.

What external mastic looks like in Smallbridge
Historic houses like Scotney Castle (about 2.4 miles south-west) are a reminder that the area around Smallbridge 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. Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
If you live in an older home near Church of St Margaret, old and new materials meet at the roofline and walls, which is where sealant earns its keep.

What happens if it’s left?
Sealing over the top of old mastic doesn’t hold for long. The new layer can’t bond properly to old, weathered material, so the old joint is cut out fully first. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Smallbridge, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.

What else we do in Smallbridge
DIY versus a professional finish
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Aftercare tips
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Keep soil, plants and ivy away from the joints
- Keep high-pressure jets off the joints
- Make sure movement joints are not pointed over
- Act on the first splits you see
Only paint over the joint if we’ve confirmed the sealant can take paint. Many exterior sealants are not designed to be painted and spoil the finish.
Gaps, plants or missing sealant in a joint are worth getting looked at. Early work is quicker and leaves a better finish.
For landlords and businesses
From a single let to a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
