External mastic in Young's End, done properly
A movement joint is only as good as its depth. Closed-cell backing rod sets the depth and stops the sealant sticking to the back, so it bonds to the two sides only and can stretch. If you have gaps where render, brick and frames meet and water getting into walls through failed joints, we can put it right, on brickwork movement joints, concrete & block and façade panels alike.
Outside joints can only be sealed when they’re dry, so work in Young's End is booked around the forecast. Let us know about access to every wall, plus any garages or outbuildings.
Our work is backed for twelve months.

Young's End questions
Do you cover smaller places like Young's End?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you work for landlords with property near Cressing station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
Which products do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we will explain our choice.
How do you reach high-level joints?
That depends on how high the joints are and the ground below. Ground-floor joints are simple; for higher ones, send details and we’ll confirm the access.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We’re ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes. All our work carries a one-year guarantee.
How long does external mastic last?
It varies from wall to wall: joints on exposed walls or with a lot of movement age sooner. A yearly look will tell you when they need doing. Every job carries our 12-month guarantee.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Just list everything you need.
What sealant work can’t fix
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:
- Cracked brickwork or render that needs a builder or plasterer
- Subsidence or other structural problems
- Rising or penetrating damp from elsewhere in the wall
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer.

What happens if it’s left?
Low-modulus sealants stretch easily, so they put less strain on the joint edges. That matters on brick, render and concrete, which can be weaker at the face. A stiffer product can damage the joint edge as it fails. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Young's End, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Doing several joints on one visit usually makes better use of the time than several visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.
Why book with us
- A choice of colours where the product allows
- Experience in homes, commercial sites and hotels
- Quality sealants from Arbo and Everbuild
- We agree the colour with you first
Keeping the joints in good condition
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Deal with leaking gutters that soak the joints below
- Walk round the building once a year and look at the joints
- Ask before painting over external sealant
- Don’t let climbing plants root in the sealant
Only paint over the joint if we have confirmed the sealant can take paint. Paint can crack on a flexible joint and spoil the finish.
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.
External mastic in Young's End: local notes
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 White Court School? Then larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing. For landlords with property near Cressing station, outside joints that have cracked can let damp into a rental, so check them between lets.

Surface by surface
Render joints
Cracks along render joints let water in behind the coat. Resealing the joints early keeps water out and protects the render itself.
Cladding and façade panels
Panels heat up and cool down quickly, so the joints work hard every day. The sealant is chosen with that in mind.
How the visit works
We keep the work tidy and contained to the joints we’re treating, so you can carry on as normal. The job usually takes a few hours to a few days, depending on the length of joint and the access. Somewhere like Young's End needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- First we look over the joints with you, agree which to renew and talk through access.
- We cut out the failed sealant and rake out any dirt or growth.
- Both sides are cleaned back to sound material and primed if needed.
- Backing rod goes in next, setting the depth and keeping the sealant off the back of the joint.
- A flexible exterior sealant is applied and tooled in a colour to suit the wall.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Mention any tricky access
- Tell us about any water getting in
