About our external mastic in Benham Hill
Ground-floor and low-level joints are straightforward to reach. Where joints are higher up, tell us about the building when you get in touch and we’ll confirm what’s needed to reach them safely. Common call-outs are for rigid filler in a joint that should flex and movement joints with cracked, split or missing sealant, on render & cladding joints, concrete & block and brickwork movement joints.
Houses in smaller places like Benham Hill can stand more in the open than those in a built-up town, and walls and rooflines facing the weather take the worst of it. That is where gutter joints and wall joints tend to fail first.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything is not right with it, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

Benham Hill buildings and the weather
Historic houses like Shaw House (about 1.2 miles north-west) are a reminder that the area around Benham Hill has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, 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, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Fir Tree Primary School and Nursery, its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s. Rented homes near Newbury Racecourse station change hands often, and outside joints that have cracked can let damp into a rental, so check them between lets.

Do you need external mastic in Benham Hill?
A lot of failed joints come down to preparation: dusty or wet faces, no primer where one was needed, or old sealant left in. The sealant never bonds properly.
Look out for any of the following:
- Joints where the bead has come unstuck
- Old sealant gone brittle and cracked
- Brick movement joints where the sealant has split
- Leaking joints around cladding and façade panels
Shaw House, about 1.2 miles north-west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Benham Hill, and older homes nearby need a sealant that suits their walls.

What we cannot put right
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant will not put right:
- Render that’s blown, hollow or coming away
- Movement that is more than a sealant joint can take
- Damp that is not coming from the joint
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will say what we think before you book.

Quotes for external mastic in Benham Hill
Jobs vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- The amount of work
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Whether the work is at height
- Any mould that needs treating
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.

- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- Any previous sealing or DIY work

What the job involves on each surface
Cladding and façade panels
Panel systems often rely on sealant between and around the panels. We reseal them with a sealant suited to the panel material.
Render joints
Water behind render can lead to blown patches. A sound joint keeps the render dry behind and helps it last.
What we do, step by step
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work starts. The work normally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the building. Parking around Benham Hill is generally easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- We look at every joint and agree a colour to suit the wall.
- Failed sealant is removed back to clean, sound faces.
- Closed-cell backing rod is pushed in so the sealant bonds to two sides only.
- We prime the faces where required.
- A low-modulus exterior sealant is gunned in and tooled to a neat finish.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

Advice
Why deal with it now?
A failed movement joint lets water into the wall and can run behind render or cladding. Dealing with it early keeps the repair to the joint, rather than the wall around it. Around Benham Hill, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, and that is a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.
