Outside joints around Woldingham Garden Village
Historic houses like Titsey Place (about 3 miles south-east) are a reminder that the area around Woldingham Garden Village has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older walls and rooflines need a sealant that moves with them and suits the material. 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.
If you look after a building such as Woodlea Primary School, larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing. Rented homes near Woldingham station change hands often, and failed wall and movement joints let damp in, so they’re worth checking between tenancies.

How we handle external mastic in Woldingham Garden Village
We’re ARBOMaster approved applicators, and each external joint gets a sealant suited to it. Some surfaces need a primer before sealing. If you are dealing with failed seals between different materials and rain getting behind render or cladding at a joint, we can help, whatever the surface.
Somewhere as small as Woldingham Garden Village, 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.

Common problems we fix in Woldingham Garden Village
The wrong product in a moving joint is a classic cause. A stiff, general-purpose sealant cannot cope with a joint that moves a lot, so it pulls away from the edges.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Cracked joints where brick meets render or frames
- Brick movement joints where the sealant has split
- Moss and dirt in joints with no sealant left
- Old sealant gone brittle and cracked
If you live in an older home near Church of St Paul, older walls, gutters and the joints where extensions meet them need a flexible sealant.
Questions to ask before booking
- The length of the guarantee
- Are they insured?
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- Which colour the sealant will be
Woldingham Garden Village questions
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Woldingham station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Will you come out to Woldingham Garden Village?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Is it messy?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we tidy up before we go.
How much does external mastic cost in Woldingham Garden Village?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. For a quick quote, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with a short description of the job.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before resealing.
Can a movement joint be filled with mortar?
No, not if it’s a movement joint. Filling it with mortar defeats its purpose and can lead to cracking. A flexible sealant is the right fill.
Can you seal joints between two different materials?
Yes. Different materials move at different rates, so the joint between them must be flexible. We choose one that suits both surfaces.
Do I have to be there?
That depends on where the joints are. Inside work needs someone to give us access, and for outside work we will agree access with you when we book.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Not every job suits DIY: 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 do try it yourself, take your time over the 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.

How the visit works
At the end, we look at the finished work together. The visit itself normally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the building, depending on the size of the job.

How the job changes by surface
Render joints
Rendered walls have joints at beads, openings and changes of material. We reseal them with a flexible exterior sealant that suits the render colour.
Cladding and façade panels
Metal and composite panels move a lot with temperature, so the joints work hard every day. We choose the product to suit.
Looking after it afterwards
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Keep soil, plants and ivy away from the joints
- Deal with leaking gutters that soak the joints below
- Leave the joints unpainted unless we’ve said otherwise
- Show decorators and builders where the movement joints are
Only paint over the joint if we have confirmed the sealant can take paint. Many exterior sealants are not designed to be painted, and paint can crack as the joint moves.
A joint that has stopped moving pushes the movement elsewhere, normally as cracking in the brickwork or render nearby. Catch it early and you reduce the risk.
Honest limits
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we’ll tell you before we start. Sealant will not put right:
- Movement that is more than a sealant joint can take
- Failed render or damaged cladding panels
- Cracking across the wall rather than at a joint
If you’re not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we seal
- Brickwork movement joints
- Copings & trims
