External Mastic in St Denys

About our external mastic in St Denys
Getting the depth right is half the job. Backing rod controls how deep the sealant goes and keeps it off the back of the joint, leaving it bonded to two faces so it can move with the wall. Common call-outs are for water getting into walls through failed joints and cracked joints where brick meets render or frames, on brickwork movement joints, façade panels and render & cladding joints.
In a smaller place like St Denys, some homes face open ground, and walls and rooflines facing the weather take the worst of it. Joints on those sides are normally the first to go.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Honest limits
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:
- Failed render or damaged cladding panels
- Movement that’s more than a sealant joint can take
- Damp that is not coming from the joint
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Copings & trims
- Façade panels
- Joints between brick and frames
- Brickwork movement joints
- Render & cladding joints
- Concrete & block
Different surfaces, different methods
Render joints
The face of render can be soft, so a sealant that stretches easily protects the edges. Priming is done where the sealant calls for it.
Cladding and façade panels
Cladding and façade panels are usually separated by sealed joints. We reseal them with a sealant suited to the panel material.
The process
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, protect the area around them, carry out the job and clear up. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the building. For a job in St Denys, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- First, the joints are inspected and the access agreed.
- We cut out the old mastic and rake out anything in the joint.
- The faces are brushed clean and primed where the product requires it.
- Backing rod sized to the joint goes in to set the depth.
- The exterior sealant is applied, tooled and checked along its length.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

Do you need external mastic in St Denys?
Sunlight, wet weather and frost wear exterior sealant down. Over the years it hardens, cracks on the surface and loses its give, so the joint eventually tears or comes away from one side.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Joints pointed up with cement by mistake
- Water getting into walls through failed joints
- Brick movement joints where the sealant has split
- Hard, crazed mastic that has stopped moving
Letting a property close to St Denys station? Then outside joints that have cracked can let damp into a rental, so check them between lets.

Walls and rooflines in St Denys
St Denys is close to the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. That is hard on movement joints and outside wall joints, especially on the side facing the sea. Historic houses like South Stoneham House (about 1 mile north-east) are a reminder that the area around St Denys 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.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Denys, old and new materials meet at the roofline and walls, which is where sealant earns its keep. If you look after a building such as St Denys Primary School, its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s.

Why it’s worth doing now in St Denys
Resealing a run of joints in one go is normally better than patching one at a time. Joints of the same age tend to fail together. Around St Denys, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, and that is a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
Doing several joints on one visit is usually more efficient than separate visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We will give you a clear quote for the lot.
