About our external mastic in Titsey
Where two different materials meet, such as brick and render or blockwork and metal, they move at different rates. A flexible sealant bridges the two where a rigid filler would soon crack. We work on concrete & block, brickwork movement joints and façade panels, and common reasons people get in touch are sealant that has lost its bond to the brick or render and water getting into walls through failed joints.
Around Titsey, older buildings can be stone, brick or timber-framed, many with extensions added later. The joints where those materials meet are the weak points, and they need the right sealant at the right depth.
All our work comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Surrey.

What we do, step by step
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes a few hours to a few days, depending on the length of joint and the access in most cases. In a small place like Titsey, access is generally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- 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.
- We apply the sealant, tool it and check the whole run.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

When it is not the sealant
We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Structural movement, which needs a surveyor or engineer
- Cracked brickwork or render that needs a builder or plasterer
- Damp from another source, such as a leaking gutter or a bridged damp-proof course
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Your questions about external mastic in Titsey
Can you do external mastic in Titsey?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Titsey is part of that. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing.
I let a flat near Oxted station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before work begins.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before resealing.
What should I tell you?
Just the basics: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. Then call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Why do you put foam in the joint first?
That is backing rod, a closed-cell foam. It stops the sealant going in too deep and bonding to three sides.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We are approved under the ARBOMaster scheme.
Will you leave a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we tidy up before we go.
Is it OK to fill a movement joint with cement?
No. Mortar locks the joint solid, so the movement cracks the wall elsewhere. Use a flexible sealant with backing rod.
DIY versus a professional finish
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Surface by surface
Brickwork movement joints
Brick moves with heat and moisture, and grows a little over time. That movement goes into the joint, so its sealant has to stay flexible.
Copings and trims
Metal and stone copings both move with temperature, so the joints need a sealant that stays flexible.
Why deal with it now?
Sealing over the top of old mastic doesn’t hold for long. New sealant does not bond well to old, weathered sealant, so the old joint is cut out fully first. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Titsey, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
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.

External mastic in Titsey: 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 Titsey Place (about 0.3 miles west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Titsey 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.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St James the Greater, older walls, gutters and the joints where extensions meet them need a flexible sealant. Managing a site like Oxted School? Then larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing. If you let a flat or house near Oxted station, failed wall and movement joints let damp in, so they’re worth checking between tenancies.
