How we handle external mastic in Westfield
A movement joint is a deliberate break that lets a wall expand and contract. The sealant in it has to stretch and squeeze for years, and when it fails, the wall takes the strain and water finds a way in. Common call-outs are for failed sealant between panels on a façade and joints pointed up with cement by mistake, across concrete & block, render & cladding joints and joints between brick and frames.
Somewhere as small as Westfield, homes and farm buildings often face open ground, where walls and rooflines take the weather head on. Joints on those walls need a sealant that moves with the building and stays in place.
Our work is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

Questions from Westfield
Can you do external mastic in Westfield?
Yes, Westfield is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing.
Will you come out to Westfield?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured, and we’ve been doing sealant work for more than 20 years.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before applying anything new.
How long before the joint can be used?
Many sealants skin over quickly but take longer to cure fully. We’ll give you the cure time for the product we used before we leave.
How long does the job take?
As a guide, most jobs take a few hours for a handful of joints, longer for a whole elevation. Bigger jobs take longer.
Can landlords and businesses book you?
Yes. As well as householders, we work for landlords, agents, businesses and hotels in Westfield.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Check external joints each spring
- Keep water from gutters off the wall
- Avoid pressure-washing directly into sealant joints
- Make sure movement joints are not pointed over
Avoid pressure-washing straight into the joints. A strong jet can damage the edges of the bead over time.
Leaks behind façade panels and render often go unseen. By the time there’s a damp patch, the damage can be well established.
What happens on the day
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and tell you how long to leave it. The visit itself normally takes a few hours for a handful of joints, longer for a whole elevation, depending on how much there is to do. Somewhere as small as Westfield, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First, the joints are inspected and the access agreed.
- Every bit of old sealant and any mortar or debris is cut out.
- The faces are brushed clean and primed where the product requires it.
- We fit closed-cell backing rod to control the depth.
- We apply the sealant, tool it and check the whole run.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Move anything stored near the joints

Advice
What external mastic looks like in Westfield
Historic houses like Durhamford Manor (about 3.3 miles north-west) are a reminder that the area around Westfield has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older brick and stone need a sealant that suits them, at the right joint depth. Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
If you look after a building such as Westfield School, movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s. For landlords with property near Doleham station, split movement joints are easy to miss on a rental until damp shows inside.
Westfield is about 3 miles north of Hastings, in East Sussex. Whether you are in the middle of Westfield or further out, external mastic is available for homes and businesses alike.

Surface by surface
Brickwork movement joints
Brick movement joints are often mistaken for a missing mortar line. If that’s happened, we rake it out and reseal it properly if the joint can be cleared.
Copings and trims
A failed coping joint lets water into the top of the wall. Sealing them early saves the wall below.

Leave it or put it right?
It often makes sense to reseal all the failing joints on an elevation together. They’ve weathered the same way. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Westfield, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller. If you are unsure, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.

Can I do it myself?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, 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.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Do you need external mastic in Westfield?
Sunlight, wet weather and frost wear exterior sealant down. Over the years it hardens, cracks on the surface and loses its give, so the joint eventually tears or comes away from one side.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Sealant pulling away from one side of the joint
- Weathered mastic that no longer stretches
- Gaps where render, brick and frames meet
- Movement joints filled with mortar instead of sealant
Homes close to The Parish Church of St John the Baptist include some older properties, and older walls, gutters and the joints where extensions meet them need a flexible sealant.
