External mastic for homes and businesses in Westfield
Ground-floor and low-level joints are straightforward to reach. Where joints are higher up, tell us about the building when you get in touch and we’ll confirm what’s needed to reach them safely. If you have brick movement joints where the sealant has split and sealant pulling away from one side of the joint, we can put it right, on joints between brick and frames, render & cladding joints and brickwork movement joints alike.
Outside joints can only be sealed when they’re dry, so work in Westfield depends on the weather. Tell us how to reach each wall, gutter and roofline.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Westfield
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
What happens on the day
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and tidy away. It normally takes a few hours to a few days, depending on the length of joint and the access. Outdoor work around Westfield depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- Each joint is checked and the colour of the new sealant agreed.
- We take out the old sealant until the faces are sound.
- Closed-cell backing rod is pushed in so the sealant bonds to two sides only.
- We prime the faces where required.
- We gun in low-modulus sealant and tool it neatly.
Before we arrive
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on

Advice
Outside joints around Westfield
Harled (roughcast) walls are common in Scotland, and joints where harling meets other materials need a sealant that can grip and flex. Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home wind and watertight, and sound outside sealant is part of that.
If you let a flat or house near Croy station, outside joints that have cracked can let damp into a rental, so check them between lets.

Leave it or put it right?
An open joint keeps letting water into the wall with every downpour. In cold weather, frost can damage wet brick and render, so the problem grows beyond the joint itself. In an older home around Westfield, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster.
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You’ll know the price before we begin.

Looking after it afterwards
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Make sure movement joints aren’t pointed over
- Check external joints each spring
- Deal with leaking gutters that soak the joints below
- Act on the first splits you see
Follow the cure time we give you before the joint is knocked or disturbed. Most exterior sealants skin fast but take longer to cure right through.
Water getting behind cladding or render can go unnoticed for a long time. When it finally shows inside, the joint may have been open for years so early resealing is worth it.
Can I do it myself?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly.

Different surfaces, different methods
Concrete and blockwork
Big joints in concrete need careful depth control. Backing rod sized to the joint sets it so the sealant isn’t too deep.
Joints between dissimilar materials
Wherever two materials meet, they move differently. We seal the joint with a flexible exterior sealant.
Signs you need external mastic in Westfield
The wrong product in a moving joint is a classic cause. A high-modulus or general-purpose sealant can be too rigid for a busy joint, and it tears off the sides.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Damp patches traced to an open external joint
- Hard, crazed mastic that has stopped moving
- Joints where the bead has come unstuck
- Movement joints filled with mortar instead of sealant
Schools such as Greenfaulds High School are buildings too, and movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s.

What do you put in the joint?
The product depends on the job: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Where do you work from?
We’re a Crawley-based firm, with over 20 years’ experience. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. All our work carries our one-year guarantee.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
