What happens if it’s left?
Resealing a run of joints in one go is normally better than patching one at a time. Joints of the same age tend to fail together. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Tye Green, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
The cost depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. You will have a clear quote before any work starts.

How we handle external mastic in Tye Green
We cut out failed sealant, set the joint depth with closed-cell backing rod and reseal with a low-modulus exterior sealant. The colour is chosen to suit the brick or render. Common call-outs are for sealant pulling away from one side of the joint and old sealant gone brittle and cracked, on brickwork movement joints, concrete & block and render & cladding joints.
External sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work around Tye Green 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.

How the job changes by surface
Brickwork movement joints
Clay brickwork grows slightly over its life and moves with the weather. That movement goes into the joint, so its sealant has to stay flexible.
Copings and trims
Coping and trim joints face rain and sun head on. We reseal them with an exterior sealant suited to the material.
Looking after it afterwards
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Avoid pressure-washing directly into sealant joints
- Walk round the building once a year and look at the joints
- Do not let climbing plants root in the sealant
- Have failed joints looked at early
Look over the joints once a year, ideally after winter. Splits, gaps at the edges or plants in the joint are early warning signs.
An open movement joint lets rain into the wall every time it pours. Over time it can mean damp inside, stained render or frost-damaged brick.
Should I try it myself first?
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.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
What affects the quote in Tye Green
Your quote is based on your job. We take into account:
- How much there is to do
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- The product the joint needs
- Access and height
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference.

Common questions in Tye Green
Can you do external mastic in Tye Green?
Yes, Tye Green is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.
Is Tye Green within the area you cover?
Yes, Tye Green is covered. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Is it OK to fill a movement joint with cement?
No, not where the gap is a movement joint. Filling it with mortar defeats its purpose, and the wall may crack nearby. We will reseal it with a flexible sealant.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. We work in offices, washrooms, hotels and other commercial premises. We can talk about working times when we quote.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with our work in that time, tell us and we will put it right.
How long will you be here?
It depends on the size of the job, but as a guide it takes a few hours to a few days, depending on the length of joint and the access. We will tell you when we quote.
When will the joints need doing again?
It depends on the exposure, the movement and the product. Sealant is a maintenance item, so check the joints once a year and reseal when it splits.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status.

External mastic in Tye Green: local notes
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
If you look after a building such as Cressing Primary School, larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing. If you let a flat or house near Cressing station, outside joints that have cracked can let damp into a rental, so check them between lets. If you live in an older home near St Barnabas, the joints between older walls, newer extensions and the roofline need a sealant that can move.
