External mastic in Waldron
As ARBOMaster approved applicators, we choose exterior sealants to suit the joint and the surfaces. Porous or awkward surfaces are primed where the sealant needs it and we use one wherever it does. We work on concrete & block, render & cladding joints and joints between brick and frames, and people most often call us about old sealant gone brittle and cracked and rain getting behind render or cladding at a joint.
External sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work around Waldron is planned for dry weather. Let us know about access to every wall, plus any garages or outbuildings.
Our work is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

Waldron buildings and the weather
London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
If you live in an older home near The Parish Church of All Saints, an extension built onto an older house moves differently, and the joint between them takes the strain. Rented homes near Buxted station change hands often, and outside joints that have cracked can let damp into a rental, so check them between lets.

FAQs for Waldron
Do you work for landlords with property near Buxted station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
Will you come out to Waldron?
Yes, Waldron is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can you seal joints between two different materials?
Yes. Where different materials meet is one of the most common joints we seal. We use a flexible sealant suited to both surfaces.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before resealing.
Do the sealants smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all, and any smell fades as they cure.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old sealant, and it traps any mould or water underneath. It all has to come out first.
What is backing rod for?
That’s backing rod, a closed-cell foam. It keeps the sealant at the right depth and bonded to the sides only.
How often do external joints need resealing?
That varies with the weather the wall faces, how much it moves and the sealant used. Treat it as a maintenance item and look at it yearly and reseal when it splits.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, 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.

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Deal with leaking gutters that soak the joints below
- Make sure movement joints aren’t pointed over
- Check external joints each spring
- Tell anyone working on the walls about the movement joints
Avoid pressure-washing straight into the joints. High-pressure water can lift the edges over time.
Once a joint cannot move, the wall finds another way, often as cracks near the joint. Resealing it early helps prevent that.
Why deal with it now?
Resealing a run of joints in one go is usually better than patching one at a time. Joints of the same age tend to fail together and it means sorting access once. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Waldron, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask a few questions first and send you a clear quote before any work starts.

How it works
When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. After that, the work takes a few hours to a few days, depending on the length of joint and the access. In a small place like Waldron, access is normally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- Each joint is checked and the colour of the new sealant agreed.
- Failed sealant is removed back to clean, sound faces.
- Backing rod goes in so the sealant can stretch between the two faces.
- We prime the faces where required.
- We gun in low-modulus sealant and tool it neatly.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

Advice
When something else is needed
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant will not put right:
- Movement that is more than a sealant joint can take
- Cutting new joints into brickwork, which is building work rather than sealant work
- Cracks in the bricks or render themselves, away from the joints
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly.
Where we work in Waldron
- Copings & trims
- Façade panels
- Concrete & block
- Render & cladding joints
- Brickwork movement joints
- Joints between brick and frames
Different surfaces, different methods
Joints between dissimilar materials
Where a frame or panel meets masonry, water often finds a way in. The old joint is removed and a sealant that bonds to both sides goes in.
Brickwork movement joints
Clay brickwork grows slightly over its life and moves with the weather. The movement joint takes that up, so the sealant in it must stay soft and stretchy.
