External mastic in Soldridge
Where two different materials meet, such as brick and render or blockwork and metal, they move at different rates. A flexible exterior sealant takes up that movement. If you’re dealing with failed seals between different materials and movement joints with cracked, split or missing sealant, we can put it right.
In a village or hamlet like Soldridge, 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.
Every job is covered by our 12-month guarantee.

Signs you need external mastic in Soldridge
A lot of failed joints come down to preparation: joint faces that were dusty or damp, unprimed where they needed it, or still carrying old sealant. The new sealant then lets go long before it should.
The problems people generally mention when they call include:
- Cracked joints where brick meets render or frames
- Hard, crazed mastic that has stopped moving
- Damp patches traced to an open external joint
- Leaking joints around cladding and façade panels
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of the Good Shepherd, old and new materials meet at the roofline and walls, which is where sealant earns its keep.

What affects the cost of external mastic
Your quote is based on your job. We take into account:
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- The amount of work
- Access and height
Doing several joints on one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.

Surface by surface
Concrete and blockwork
Concrete and block walls shrink as they dry and move with temperature. Their movement joints are sealed over backing rod with a flexible sealant.
Render joints
Render has movement joints and stop beads that need sealing. They’re resealed in a sealant that suits the render.
Outside joints around Soldridge
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. Historic houses like Bentworth Hall (about 2.8 miles north) are a reminder that the area around Soldridge has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older brick and stone need a sealant that suits them, at the right joint depth.
In and around Soldridge, as anywhere, good external mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Why deal with it now?
Water gets in through a failed movement joint. Dealing with it early keeps the repair to the joint, rather than the wall around it. Older cottages and farmhouses around Soldridge can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
What it costs depends on how much there is to do, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. You will have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

What we do, step by step
At the end, we look at the finished work together. The work normally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the building, depending on how much there is to do. Somewhere like Soldridge needs a little journey planning: 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.
- Failed sealant is removed back to clean, sound faces.
- Backing rod goes in so the sealant can stretch between the two faces.
- We prime the faces where required.
- We gun in low-modulus sealant and tool it neatly.
How to prepare
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

Advice
Soldridge questions
Will you come out to Soldridge?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you cover Soldridge for external mastic?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Soldridge is part of that. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Can you reach joints on upper floors?
That depends on how high the joints are and the ground below. Low-level joints are straightforward; for higher ones, send details and we will confirm the access.
What do you put in the joint?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. As well as homeowners, we work for landlords, agents, businesses and hotels.
What colours does the sealant come in?
The sealant colour is picked to suit the wall, so the joint sits quietly in the wall. Exterior sealants come in a good range of colours.
Where are you based?
Our base is in Crawley, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Does someone need to be in?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. Once we have agreed the job, you don’t need to watch us work.
