How we handle external mastic in Tyler's Green
We cut out failed sealant, set the joint depth with closed-cell backing rod and reseal with a low-modulus exterior sealant. We pick a colour that sits well with the wall. If you’re dealing with sealant that has lost its bond to the brick or render and joints with sealant missing in places, we can help.
External sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work around Tyler's Green is planned for dry weather. Tell us about access to all sides of the building, including outbuildings and garages.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.

Why deal with it now?
Done well, a resealed joint is a neat, straight line that suits the wall. A hurried job with smeared edges and no backing looks worse and fails sooner, so it pays to do it properly once. Around Tyler's Green, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, along with when we can work on site. Ask us for a quote and we’ll explain what it covers.

Tyler's Green buildings and the weather
London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day. With historic houses such as Titsey Place (about 3.9 miles north-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Tyler's Green as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, 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 Nicholas, the joints between older walls, newer extensions and the roofline need a sealant that can move. If you let a flat or house near Caterham station, outside joints that have cracked can let damp into a rental, so check them between lets.

How to look after the new joints
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Deal with leaking gutters that soak the joints below
- Walk round the building once a year and look at the joints
- Don’t let climbing plants root in the sealant
- Never let anyone fill a movement joint with mortar
Keep the joints clear of soil, plants and climbing growth. Anything that holds water against the joint wears it out sooner.
Leaks behind façade panels and render often go unseen. By the time there’s a damp patch, the damage can be well established, so it’s worth resealing at the first signs.
DIY versus a professional finish
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.

What sealant work can’t fix
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we will tell you before work begins. Sealant will not put right:
- Loose or hollow render, which needs re-rendering
- Cracks in the bricks or render themselves, away from the joints
- Walls that need new movement joints cut into them
If you are not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you a straight answer.

Tyler's Green: your questions answered
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Caterham station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Is Tyler's Green within the area you cover?
Yes, Tyler's Green is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
How do you reach high-level joints?
That depends on how high the joints are and the ground below. Low-level joints are straightforward; for higher ones, send details and we will confirm the access.
Are you insured?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured, with over 20 years’ experience in sealant work.
What does external mastic cost?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. We agree the price before any work begins.
How long before the joint can be used?
Most sealants are touch-dry well before they’re fully cured. We’ll tell you how long to leave the joint.
Do you seal joints where cladding meets other materials?
Yes. Where different materials meet is one of the most common joints we seal. We use a flexible sealant suited to both surfaces.
Can a movement joint be filled with mortar?
No. Mortar locks the joint solid, so the movement cracks the wall elsewhere. Use a flexible sealant with backing rod.
Common problems we fix in Tyler's Green
Sunlight, wet weather and frost wear exterior sealant down. In time it goes hard, crazes on the surface and stops stretching, so the next time the wall moves, it splits or pulls away.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Sealant pulling away from one side of the joint
- Failed sealant between panels on a façade
- Joints with sealant missing in places
- Plants rooting in failed movement joints
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Godstone Village School, its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s.
Questions to ask before booking
- How long the guarantee is
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- When the joint can take water or movement
- Who turns up on the day
