Bledlow External Mastic
Sealing brickwork movement joints, render, cladding and façade joints for homes and businesses in Bledlow and across Buckinghamshire. Fully insured, ARBOMaster approved and guaranteed for a year.
- Failed seals between different materials
- Sealant that has lost its bond to the brick or render
- Brick movement joints where the sealant has split
How we handle external mastic in Bledlow
We cut out failed sealant, set the joint depth with closed-cell backing rod and reseal with a low-modulus exterior sealant. The colour is chosen to suit the brick or render so the joint does not stand out. We work on render & cladding joints, concrete & block and joints between brick and frames, and the jobs we see most are failed sealant between panels on a façade and moss and dirt in joints with no sealant left.
Somewhere as small as Bledlow, homes and farm buildings often face open ground, where walls and rooflines take the weather head on. Gutter joints and wall joints there need a sealant that can flex and stay put.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee.

Aftercare tips
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Show decorators and builders where the movement joints are
- Leave the joints unpainted unless we’ve said otherwise
- Keep soil, plants and ivy away from the joints
- Never let anyone fill a movement joint with mortar
Have a quick look at the joints each spring. Watch for splits, edges coming away or growth in the joint.
Gaps, plants or missing sealant in a joint are worth getting looked at. Earlier resealing means a smaller job and a better result.

External mastic in Bledlow: local notes
The South East is one of 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 landlords with property near Princes Risborough station, outside joints that have cracked can let damp into a rental, so check them between lets. Homes close to Church of the Holy Trinity include some older properties, and old and new materials meet at the roofline and walls, which is where sealant earns its keep. If you look after a building such as Princes Risborough School, larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing.

Can you do several jobs on one visit?

Do you seal joints where cladding meets other materials?

How much does external mastic cost in Bledlow?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. For a quick quote, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and let us know what needs doing and where.
Can a movement joint be filled with mortar?
No. Rigid materials cannot move with the wall. If it has already been filled, we can normally cut it out and reseal it.
What the job involves on each surface
Concrete and blockwork
The face of concrete or block is often dusty, so preparation is key. We prime where the sealant needs it.
Cladding and façade panels
If the façade has a specified sealant, that’s what we use or an approved alternative. Tell us what the building has when you get in touch.

We keep the work tidy and contained to the area we are working on, so you can get on with your day. The job generally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the building, and we explain the cure time before we leave.

- We look at every joint and agree a colour to suit the wall.
- We take out the old sealant until the faces are sound.
- Closed-cell backing rod is pushed in so the sealant bonds to two sides only.

Advice
When it is not the sealant
To be straight with you, some problems need a different trade:
- Cutting new joints into brickwork, which is building work rather than sealant work
- Cracks in the bricks or render themselves, away from the joints
- Structural movement, which needs a surveyor or engineer
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Why it’s worth doing now in Bledlow
Running new sealant over the old bead rarely lasts. The new layer can’t bond properly to old, weathered material, so the old joint is cut out fully first. In a small place like Bledlow, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs, plus any working-time requirements on site. Ask us for a quote and we’ll explain what it covers.
