What happens if it’s left?
The longer a joint stays open, the more water the wall takes in. Wet masonry is more easily damaged by frost around the joint, so the problem grows beyond the joint itself. Homes in smaller places like Watchmoor can face more weather, and failed outside joints let damp into walls. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.

How we handle external mastic in Watchmoor
Where two different materials meet, such as brick and render or blockwork and metal, they move at different rates. A flexible sealant bridges the two. We’re often asked to deal with joints where the bead has come unstuck and rigid filler in a joint that should flex, across brickwork movement joints, copings & trims and concrete & block.
Outbuildings, garages and conservatories around homes in places like Watchmoor add more joints to look after. Gutter ends, garage door frames and the joints where an extension meets the house are typical spots for leaks.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Watchmoor and across Surrey.

Watchmoor questions
Do you cover smaller places like Watchmoor?
Yes. Watchmoor is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you cover Watchmoor for external mastic?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Watchmoor is part of that. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Just list everything you need.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, because it fails. The old sealant always comes out first, so the new sealant bonds properly.
Will the new joint stand out?
The aim is a neat, even joint in a colour that suits the wall. We will talk through colour options before any work starts from the range available.
What is backing rod for?
That is backing rod, a closed-cell foam. It keeps the sealant at the right depth and bonded to the sides only so it can flex with the joint.
What is a movement joint?
Walls move with heat, cold and moisture, and planned joints take up that movement. It’s closed with backing rod and a flexible sealant.
How long will you be here?
As a guide, most jobs take a few hours to a few days, depending on the length of joint and the access. Bigger jobs take longer, and we’ll say how long yours will take.
What happens on the day
Once we’re on site, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the building. In a smaller place like Watchmoor, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- First we look over the joints with you, agree which to renew and talk through access.
- Old sealant and any debris are cut and raked out.
- We clean both faces of the joint and prime them where the product calls for it.
- Backing rod goes in next, setting the depth and keeping the sealant off the back of the joint.
- A flexible exterior sealant is applied and tooled in a colour to suit the wall.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Mention any tricky access
- Move anything stored near the joints

What the job involves on each surface
Brickwork movement joints
Clay brickwork grows slightly over its life and moves with the weather. That movement goes into the joint, so the sealant in it must stay soft and stretchy.
Copings and trims
Metal and stone copings both move with temperature, so the joints need a sealant that stays flexible year round.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.

Outside joints around Watchmoor
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
Managing a site like South Camberley Primary and Nursery School? Then movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s. If you live in an older home near St Mary's Church, older walls, gutters and the joints where extensions meet them need a flexible sealant.

Common problems we fix in Watchmoor
Buildings move more than people expect. Clay bricks expand slightly over their life, concrete and block shrink, and everything moves with temperature and wet. All of that ends up in the joint sealant.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Hard, crazed mastic that has stopped moving
- Joints pointed up with cement by mistake
- Moss and dirt in joints with no sealant left
- Damp patches traced to an open external joint
Letting a property close to Blackwater station? Then failed wall and movement joints let damp in, so they’re worth checking between tenancies.
