External mastic in Sturry, done properly
On houses, flats and commercial buildings across Sturry, we reseal joints in brickwork, render, cladding and façade panels. The preparation is the same whatever the wall: clean joint faces and the right depth. If you are dealing with water getting into walls through failed joints and rigid filler in a joint that should flex, we can help, on brickwork movement joints, render & cladding joints and concrete & block alike.
Houses in smaller places like Sturry can stand more in the open than those in a built-up town, so exposed walls and rooflines take more wind-driven rain. Joints on those sides are usually the first to go.
Big or small, you get the same 12-month guarantee.

How to look after the new joints
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Wash walls gently around the sealant
- Point out the joints to other trades
- Ask before painting over external sealant
- Never let anyone fill a movement joint with mortar
Make sure anyone working on the wall later knows where the movement joints are. They must stay as flexible joints, never rendered or pointed over.
Leaks behind façade panels and render often go unseen. When it finally shows inside, the joint may have been open for years.
What we are called out for in Sturry
A lot of failed joints come down to preparation: dusty or wet faces, no primer where one was needed, or old sealant left in. The sealant never bonds properly.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Brick movement joints where the sealant has split
- Gaps where render, brick and frames meet
- Failed sealant between panels on a façade
- Damp patches traced to an open external joint
In the older streets around St Nicholas' Church, an extension built onto an older house moves differently, and the joint between them takes the strain.

How it works
There’s no need to move everything out before we come, just the space around the work. Everything nearby is protected, and the job takes a few hours to a few days, depending on the length of joint and the access in most cases. Parking around Sturry is generally easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- 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.
- Primer is applied wherever the sealant needs it.
- A low-modulus exterior sealant is gunned in and tooled to a neat finish.
Preparing for the visit
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

What the job involves on each surface
Render joints
The face of render can be soft, so a low-modulus sealant is kinder to the joint edges. We prime where the product needs it.
Copings and trims
Coping and trim joints face rain and sun head on. Each is resealed with a weatherproof, flexible sealant.
