External mastic in Willows Green
Low-level joints can normally be done from the ground. 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 are dealing with old sealant gone brittle and cracked and moss and dirt in joints with no sealant left, we can help, on render & cladding joints, concrete & block and copings & trims alike.
In a village or hamlet like Willows Green, older cottages and farm buildings often stand in the open, where walls and rooflines take the weather head on. Gutter joints and wall joints there need a sealant that can flex and stay put.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once the job is done.

Common questions in Willows Green
Do you cover Willows Green for external mastic?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Willows Green is part of that. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and let us know what needs doing.
Do you cover smaller places like Willows Green?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Should I point up the gap in my brickwork?
No. Cement or mortar cannot stretch and the joint fails. Where a joint has been mortared, it can often be raked out and sealed properly.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. We can plan bigger jobs in stages to suit the site.
What sealant do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we’ll explain our choice.
How do I get a quote for external mastic in Willows Green?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. We agree the price before any work begins.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help too.
Where do you work from?
We work from Crawley. Our applicators cover Willows Green.
What we do, step by step
We bring everything the job needs with us, so you don’t need to buy or prepare anything. Once we’ve agreed what’s being done, we protect the area and start. It normally takes a few hours to a few days, depending on the length of joint and the access. Somewhere as small as Willows Green, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We inspect the joints and agree which need resealing and how they’ll be reached.
- The old mastic and anything lodged in the joint is removed.
- Both sides are cleaned back to sound material and primed if needed.
- Closed-cell backing rod is fitted to set the depth and stop three-sided bonding.
- The new sealant, chosen to suit the brick or render, is applied and tooled to a neat finish.
Before we arrive
- 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

Why it’s worth doing now in Willows Green
Low-modulus sealants stretch easily, so they put less strain on the joint edges. That protects surfaces like brick, render and concrete. A stiffer product can damage the joint edge as it fails. In a small place like Willows Green, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
Why us?
- Colour agreed with you before any work starts
- More than 20 years in sealant work
- A sealant colour to suit the surroundings
- Old sealant always removed completely

Outside joints around Willows Green
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.

Aftercare tips
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Check external joints each spring
- Tell anyone working on the walls about the movement joints
- Keep water from gutters off the wall
- Keep high-pressure jets off the joints
If you have more work done on the wall, such as new render, cladding or an opening, show the contractor the movement joints. They must stay as flexible joints, never rendered or pointed over.
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.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Willows Green
For anyone letting property in or around Willows Green, jobs at different addresses can go on one quote. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs.
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.
Can I do it myself?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
When something else is needed
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’ll tell you before work begins. It won’t solve:
- Structural movement, which needs a surveyor or engineer
- Cracked brickwork or render that needs a builder or plasterer
- Walls that need new movement joints cut into them
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will tell you honestly before booking.
What we seal
- Joints between brick and frames
- Façade panels

Signs you need external mastic in Willows Green
Every building moves. Brickwork grows a little over the years, blockwork and concrete shrink, and all of it moves with heat and moisture. The sealant in the movement joints takes that strain.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Hard, crazed mastic that has stopped moving
- Joints where the bead has come unstuck
- Plants rooting in failed movement joints
- Movement joints with cracked, split or missing sealant
In and around Willows Green, as anywhere, good external mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
