How we handle external mastic in Tubney
Low-level joints can generally be done from the ground. For joints higher up, give us some details of the building and we’ll confirm what access is needed. We’re often asked to deal with weeds or debris growing in open joints and hard, crazed mastic that has stopped moving, on brickwork movement joints, copings & trims and joints between brick and frames.
External sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work around Tubney is planned for dry weather. Let us know about access to every wall, plus any garages or outbuildings.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

Do you need external mastic in Tubney?
Some movement joints have been pointed up with mortar by mistake. With the joint locked solid, the movement turns into cracks elsewhere in the wall.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Rigid filler in a joint that should flex
- Panel joints letting water in
- Joints where the bead has come unstuck
- Damp patches traced to an open external joint
Managing a site like Abingdon Preparatory School? Then its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s.
Questions to ask before booking
- Is VAT in the price?
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- How much experience the applicator has
- What the cure time is
What external mastic looks like in Tubney
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 Appleton Manor (about 1.6 miles north) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Tubney as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older brick and stone need a sealant that suits them, at the right joint depth.
If you live in an older home near Church of St Lawrence, older walls, gutters and the joints where extensions meet them need a flexible sealant.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
What sealant work cannot fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Cracks in the bricks or render themselves, away from the joints
- Adding movement joints to masonry that has none
- Movement that is more than a sealant joint can take
If you are not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
What we seal
- Façade panels
- Brickwork movement joints
- Render & cladding joints
- Copings & trims
- Joints between brick and frames
- Concrete & block
Leave it or put it right?
Water gets in through a failed movement joint and can run behind render or cladding. Dealing with it early keeps the repair to the joint, rather than the wall around it. In a small place like Tubney, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll talk you through it.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Keep soil, plants and ivy away from the joints
- Check the sealant is paintable before painting near it
- Never let anyone fill a movement joint with mortar
- Tell anyone working on the walls about the movement joints
If you have more work done on the wall, such as new render, cladding or an opening, show the contractor the movement joints. They should be kept open and resealed, not filled.
Act while the splits are small. Then it’s a straightforward cut-out and reseal before water has had years to get in.
Your questions about external mastic in Tubney
Can you do external mastic in Tubney?
Yes, Tubney is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and let us know what needs doing.
Do you cover smaller places like Tubney?
Yes. Tubney is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Why is there a gap in my brick wall?
It’s a deliberate gap that lets the wall expand and contract without cracking. It should be filled with flexible sealant, never mortar.
Do you work at height?
It depends on the building. Where joints can be reached safely, we will do them. Give us some details and we will confirm the access.
Will it make a mess?
No. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Why do you put foam in the joint first?
Backing rod goes into deeper joints as a matter of course. It controls the depth and stops the sealant bonding to the back so the bead can stretch.
What sealant do you use?
It depends on the joint: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Does someone need to be in?
That depends on where the joints are. Inside work needs someone to give us access, and for outside work we’ll agree access with you when we book.
The process
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we do not rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the building. Somewhere as small as Tubney, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First, the joints are inspected and the access agreed.
- 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.
- We fit closed-cell backing rod to control the depth.
- We apply the sealant, tool it and check the whole run.
How to prepare
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
