About our external mastic in White Notley
Many failed façade joints only get noticed once there’s a stain or a damp patch inside. We inspect them, agree which need doing and reseal with a weatherproof, flexible sealant. If you are dealing with sealant that has lost its bond to the brick or render and gaps where render, brick and frames meet, we can help, on façade panels, joints between brick and frames and copings & trims alike.
In a village or hamlet like White Notley, older cottages and farm buildings often stand in the open, so walls and rooflines take the full force of wind and rain. Gutter joints and wall joints there need a sealant that can flex and stay put.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

Should I try it myself first?
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into 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.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
When something else is needed
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’ll tell you before any work starts. Sealant won’t put right:
- Cracked brickwork or render that needs a builder or plasterer
- Subsidence or other structural problems
- Damp that is not coming from the joint
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Show decorators and builders where the movement joints are
- Make sure movement joints aren’t pointed over
- Look over the joints every year, ideally after winter
- 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.
Small splits are the time to act. At that stage it’s a simple cut out and reseal.
Why it’s worth doing now in White Notley
A properly done movement joint is an even line in a colour that suits the wall. A hurried job with smeared edges and no backing looks worse and fails sooner. Around White Notley, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. You will have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
