External mastic in Turnford
For buildings in Turnford, we reseal external joints of all kinds, from brick movement joints to cladding panels. Every joint gets the same careful preparation: clean joint faces and the right depth. Typical jobs include panel joints letting water in and rain getting behind render or cladding at a joint, on brickwork movement joints, concrete & block and copings & trims.
In and around Turnford, older properties sit alongside newer ones, each with its own outside joints. Older homes need their gutter and trim joints kept tight, newer ones their movement joints.
Big or small, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee in Turnford and across Hertfordshire.

How long will you be here?
A typical job takes a few hours to a few days, depending on the length of joint and the access, including the preparation. We’ll confirm how long when we quote.
What’s an expansion joint in brickwork?
A vertical gap in a long brick wall is generally a movement joint. It lets the bricks expand without cracking and needs a flexible seal, not mortar.
Will you leave a mess?
We keep the work tidy. Nearby surfaces are protected, and the area is left clean when we finish.
Can you reach joints on upper floors?
Each building is different. Send us photos and a rough idea of the height and we will confirm how they can be reached safely.
Can I do it myself?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
What affects the cost of external mastic
The price is agreed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- The type of sealant required
- The amount of work
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- Whether the work is at height
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the address, the job and how access works and we will quote.
If you manage several properties in or around Turnford, jobs at different addresses can go on one quote. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs, and pictures by email help.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Leave the joints unpainted unless we have said otherwise
- Get split or bare joints resealed while the damage is small
- Keep movement joints as flexible joints, not mortar
- Wash walls gently around the sealant
Do not let soil, plants or ivy build up against the new joints. Anything that holds water against the joint wears it out sooner.
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.
Different surfaces, different methods
Cladding and façade panels
Panels heat up and cool down quickly, so the joints work hard every day. The sealant is chosen with that in mind.
Render joints
Render is weaker at the surface than brick, so a low-modulus sealant is kinder to the joint edges. We prime where the product needs it.
What we do, step by step
Our applicators work methodically: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the building, and the area is left clean. A visit to Turnford is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- We look at every joint and agree a colour to suit the wall.
- Failed sealant is removed back to clean, sound faces.
- Closed-cell backing rod is pushed in so the sealant bonds to two sides only.
- Primer is applied wherever the sealant needs it.
- A low-modulus exterior sealant is gunned in and tooled to a neat finish.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the work
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

Walls and rooflines in Turnford
Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day. Historic houses like Forty Hall (about 4 miles south-west) are a reminder that the area around Turnford has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older brick and stone need a sealant that suits them, at the right joint depth.
Rented homes near Cheshunt station change hands often, and failed wall and movement joints let damp in, so they’re worth checking between tenancies. In the older streets around St Clement, the joints between older walls, newer extensions and the roofline need a sealant that can move. If you look after a building such as Longlands Primary School and Nursery, larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing.
