External mastic for homes and businesses in Stalisfield Green
Low-level joints can usually be done from the ground. Where joints are higher up, tell us about the building when you get in touch and we will confirm what’s needed to reach them safely. If you have gaps where render, brick and frames meet and movement joints with cracked, split or missing sealant, we can put it right, on joints between brick and frames, concrete & block and render & cladding joints alike.
Outside joints can only be sealed when they’re dry, so work in Stalisfield Green is booked around the forecast. Tell us about access to all sides of the building, including outbuildings and garages.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

When to call us in Stalisfield Green
Some movement joints have been pointed up with mortar, often by someone who didn’t know what it was for. With the joint locked solid, the movement turns into cracks elsewhere in the wall.
Look out for any of the following:
- Movement joints filled with mortar instead of sealant
- Damp patches traced to an open external joint
- Joints with sealant missing in places
- Sealant that has lost its bond to the brick or render
For landlords with property near Charing station, split movement joints are easy to miss on a rental until damp shows inside.
What your quote should include
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- Is VAT in the price?
- What insurance they hold
- How long the guarantee is

What’s an expansion joint in brickwork?
A vertical gap in a long brick wall is usually a movement joint. It gives the wall room to move.
Can you match the colour of my brickwork?
We choose a sealant colour to suit the brick, stone or render, so the joint sits quietly in the wall. There’s a wide choice of exterior colours.
When is the sealant fully cured?
It depends on the product and the temperature. Before we leave, we will tell you the cure time.

On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we’ll get on with it. The work itself takes a few hours for a handful of joints, longer for a whole elevation from start to finish.

We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- Each joint is checked and the colour of the new sealant agreed.
- We take out the old sealant until the faces are sound.
- Backing rod goes in so the sealant can stretch between the two faces.

Related advice
Should I try it myself first?
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.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly.
Keeping the joints in good condition
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Check external joints each spring
- Show decorators and builders where the movement joints are
- Ask before painting over external sealant
- Clear growth from the base of walls and joints
Don’t paint over the new sealant unless we’ve said the product is paintable. Many exterior sealants aren’t designed to be painted.
Leave a failed movement joint and water keeps getting into the wall. Over time it can mean damp inside, stained render or frost-damaged brick, all bigger jobs than a reseal.
External mastic in Stalisfield Green: local notes
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. With historic houses such as Belmont House and Gardens (about 2.7 miles north-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Stalisfield Green as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older walls and rooflines need a sealant that moves with them and suits the material.
In the older streets around Church of St Mary, an extension built onto an older house moves differently, and the joint between them takes the strain.

What sealant work cannot fix
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant will not put right:
- Failed render or damaged cladding panels
- Walls that need new movement joints cut into them
- Cracked brickwork or render that needs a builder or plasterer
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.
