Landlords, agents and businesses in Ballinger Common

In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.

Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too in Ballinger Common and across Buckinghamshire. We can quote a run of properties together, and we are fully insured for the work.

How we handle external mastic in Ballinger Common

Where two different materials meet, such as brick and render or blockwork and metal, they move at different rates. A flexible sealant bridges the two where a rigid filler would soon crack. If you’re dealing with moss and dirt in joints with no sealant left and damp patches traced to an open external joint, we can help, on brickwork movement joints, façade panels and joints between brick and frames alike.

Outside joints can only be sealed when they’re dry, so work in Ballinger Common is booked around the forecast. Tell us about access to all sides of the building, including outbuildings and garages.

Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

Why deal with it now?

It often makes sense to reseal all the failing joints on an elevation together. They’ve weathered the same way. Older cottages and farmhouses around Ballinger Common can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.

A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

Signs you need external mastic in Ballinger Common

Joints sealed without backing rod, or far too deep, rarely last. If the sealant sticks to the back as well as the sides, it cannot stretch and tears as soon as the joint widens.

Common reasons people contact us include:

Failed sealant between panels on a façade
Sealant pulling away from one side of the joint
Moss and dirt in joints with no sealant left
Gaps where render, brick and frames meet

If you live in an older home near St Mary's, old and new materials meet at the roofline and walls, which is where sealant earns its keep.

Outside joints around Ballinger Common

Historic houses like Cholesbury Manor House (about 2.6 miles north-east) are a reminder that the area around Ballinger Common 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. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.

For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Lee Common Church of England School, larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing. Letting a property close to Great Missenden station? Then outside joints that have cracked can let damp into a rental, so check them between lets.

How to look after the new joints

Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:

Avoid pressure-washing directly into sealant joints
Check external joints each spring
Show decorators and builders where the movement joints are
Get split or bare joints resealed while the damage is small

Avoid pressure-washing straight into the joints. High-pressure water can lift the edges over time.

Act while the splits are small. At that stage it’s a simple cut out and reseal with no damage behind it to deal with.

What we do, step by step

When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the building. In a small place like Ballinger Common, access is normally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.

We inspect the joints and agree which need resealing and how they’ll be reached.
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.
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.
