External mastic in Snagshall
Low-level joints can normally be done from the ground. Where joints are higher up, tell us about the building when you get in touch and we’ll confirm what’s needed to reach them safely. If you are dealing with cracked joints where brick meets render or frames and failed sealant between panels on a façade, we can help, whatever the surface.
In a village or hamlet like Snagshall, older cottages and farm buildings often stand in the open, 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.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

Surface by surface
Joints between dissimilar materials
Where a frame or panel meets masonry, water often finds a way in. We cut out the old sealant and reseal with a product suited to both surfaces.
Copings and trims
Coping joints that leak let water straight down into the wall. Sealing them early saves the wall below.

What else we do in Snagshall
Leave it or put it right?
Resealing a run of joints in one go is usually better than patching one at a time. Joints of the same age tend to fail together, and access only has to be arranged once. Around Snagshall, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part.

FAQs for Snagshall
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Robertsbridge station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Is Snagshall within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Will you leave a mess?
Not at all. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
How long will you be here?
Typically it takes a few hours for a handful of joints, longer for a whole elevation. Larger jobs naturally take longer, and we will say how long yours will take.
What sealant do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we will tell you what we are using.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, wherever you are.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, and it traps any mould or water underneath. We remove it all first.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
How it works
Our applicators work methodically: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. For most jobs that takes a few hours for a handful of joints, longer for a whole elevation, and the area is left clean. Somewhere as small as Snagshall, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We start by walking round the building and agreeing the joints and the access.
- We cut out the old mastic and rake out anything in the joint.
- Joint faces are cleaned back and primed if the sealant needs it.
- Backing rod sized to the joint goes in to set the depth.
- The exterior sealant is applied, tooled and checked along its length.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

External mastic in Snagshall: 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. With historic houses such as Great Dixter (about 2.2 miles east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Snagshall as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older brick and stone need a sealant that suits them, at the right joint depth.
Letting a property close to Robertsbridge station? Then failed wall and movement joints let damp in, so they’re worth checking between tenancies. If you look after a building such as Bodiam Church of England Primary School, movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s.

How to look after the new joints
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Look over the joints every year, ideally after winter
- Leave the joints unpainted unless we’ve said otherwise
- Keep high-pressure jets off the joints
- Keep movement joints as flexible joints, not mortar
Give the sealant the cure time we tell you before anything rubs against it. Most exterior sealants skin fast but take longer to cure right through.
Act while the splits are small. Then it’s a straightforward cut-out and reseal.
When it isn’t the sealant
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we will tell you before any work starts. It won’t solve:
- Cracked brickwork or render that needs a builder or plasterer
- Damp that isn’t coming from the joint
- Cutting new joints into brickwork, which is building work rather than sealant work
If you’re not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Signs you need external mastic in Snagshall
Joints sealed without backing rod, or far too deep, rarely last. If the sealant sticks to the back as well as the sides, it can’t stretch and tears as soon as the joint widens.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Weeds or debris growing in open joints
- Leaking joints around cladding and façade panels
- Hard, crazed mastic that has stopped moving
- Brick movement joints where the sealant has split
For an older house near a landmark such as The Parish Church of St James, older walls, gutters and the joints where extensions meet them need a flexible sealant.
