Wyatt's Green External Mastic
Sealing brickwork movement joints, render, cladding and façade joints for homes and businesses in Wyatt's Green and across Essex. Fully insured, ARBOMaster approved and guaranteed for a year.
- Sealant pulling away from one side of the joint
- Damp patches traced to an open external joint
- Plants rooting in failed movement joints
When something else is needed
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Cracked brickwork or render that needs a builder or plasterer
- Structural movement, which needs a surveyor or engineer
- Rising or penetrating damp from elsewhere in the wall
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Surfaces we seal

External mastic in Wyatt's Green
We cut out failed sealant, set the joint depth with closed-cell backing rod and reseal with a low-modulus exterior sealant. We pick a colour that sits well with the wall so the line blends in. If you have weathered mastic that no longer stretches and rain getting behind render or cladding at a joint, we can put it right.
Older homes in small places like Wyatt's Green may be stone, brick or timber-framed, often with later extensions. Where one material meets another is where water generally gets in, and they need the right sealant at the right depth.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Surface by surface
Cladding and façade panels
Where a cladding system has its own specified sealant, we follow it, or one the system allows. Send us any details you have about the façade.
Concrete and blockwork
The face of concrete or block is often dusty, so preparation is key. We prime where the sealant needs it before the bead.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
For landlords and businesses
Landlords and letting agents in Wyatt's Green can book us as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
External mastic in Wyatt's Green: local notes
Historic houses like Ingatestone Hall (about 3.5 miles east) are a reminder that the area around Wyatt's Green 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.
Schools such as Doddinghurst Infant School are buildings too, and larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing. In the older streets around Church of All Saints, older walls, gutters and the joints where extensions meet them need a flexible sealant. If you let a flat or house near Shenfield station, outside joints that have cracked can let damp into a rental, so check them between lets.
Wyatt's Green is about 3 miles north of Brentwood, in Essex.

Aftercare tips
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Keep water from gutters off the wall
- Make sure movement joints are not pointed over
- Show decorators and builders where the movement joints are
- Have failed joints looked at early
Do not let soil, plants or ivy build up against the new joints. Anything that holds water against the joint wears it out sooner.
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 it’s worth resealing at the first signs.
How the visit works
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Show us the job and we’ll take it from there. The job generally takes a few hours for a handful of joints, longer for a whole elevation, including the tidy-up. Somewhere as small as Wyatt's Green, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- Each joint is checked and the colour of the new sealant agreed.
- We take out the old sealant until the faces are sound.
- Backing rod goes in so the sealant can stretch between the two faces.
- Primer is applied wherever the sealant needs it.
- We gun in low-modulus sealant and tool it neatly.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Move anything stored near the joints

FAQs for Wyatt's Green
Can you do external mastic in Wyatt's Green?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Wyatt's Green is part of that. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Shenfield station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Do I have to be there?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
How often do external joints need resealing?
It varies from wall to wall: sunny, exposed elevations and busy joints wear faster. A yearly look will tell you when they need doing. Our work comes with a one-year guarantee.
Is there any odour?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure. Opening a window helps.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, and we never do. It may look fine at first, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. The old sealant has to come out completely.
Will the new joint stand out?
We aim for a joint that suits the wall rather than one that jumps out. Colour is agreed with you before we begin.
How long should I leave it?
Most sealants are touch-dry well before they’re fully cured. We’ll tell you how long to leave the joint before we leave.
