How we handle external mastic in Wimbish Green
Short cuts in external joints show up within a season or two. New sealant over old, joints packed with mortar and beads with no backing rarely last long. We strip the joint back and start again. Typical jobs include panel joints letting water in and old sealant gone brittle and cracked, on brickwork movement joints, copings & trims and concrete & block.
Somewhere as small as Wimbish Green, homes and farm buildings often face open ground, 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.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

- Adding movement joints to masonry that has none

Outside joints around Wimbish Green
Historic houses like Horham Hall (about 3.8 miles south) are a reminder that the area around Wimbish Green 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. London and the South East are among 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 Wimbish Primary School? Then its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s. If you live in an older home near St Paul's Mission Room, an extension built onto an older house moves differently, and the joint between them takes the strain.

When to call us in Wimbish Green
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.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Sealant that has lost its bond to the brick or render
- Plants rooting in failed movement joints
- Water getting into walls through failed joints
- Brick movement joints where the sealant has split
If you let a flat or house near Newport (Essex) station, failed wall and movement joints let damp in, so they’re worth checking between tenancies.

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 where it can be done safely.
Render joints
Water behind render can lead to blown patches. Resealing the joints early keeps water out.
What happens on the day
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it normally takes a few hours to a few days, depending on the length of joint and the access. For a village or hamlet like Wimbish Green, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- 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.
- Primer is applied wherever the sealant needs it.
- We gun in low-modulus sealant and tool it neatly.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the work
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

FAQs for Wimbish Green
I let a flat near Newport (Essex) station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
Will you come out to Wimbish 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.
Is it messy?
Not at all. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator and we’re fully insured too.
How long will you be here?
A typical job takes a few hours to a few days, depending on the length of joint and the access. We’ll confirm how long when we quote.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with our work in that time, tell us and we will put it right.
Can you reach joints on upper floors?
It depends on the building. Tell us the height, the number of joints and what’s below them, and we’ll confirm what access is needed.
Do the sealants smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little.
Why act early in Wimbish Green
It often makes sense to reseal all the failing joints on an elevation together. Joints of the same age tend to fail together, and access only has to be arranged once. Older cottages and farmhouses around Wimbish Green can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
