DIY sealant or a professional job?
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.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
For landlords and businesses
Hotels need rooms back in use, so we plan the work room by room. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
Bletchley and Fenny Stratford buildings and the weather
Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind. Historic houses like Bletchley Park (about 0.7 miles north-west) are a reminder that the area around Bletchley and Fenny Stratford 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.
For landlords with property near Bletchley station, split movement joints are easy to miss on a rental until damp shows inside. In the older streets around Water Eaton Church Centre, the joints between older walls, newer extensions and the roofline need a sealant that can move. Managing a site like Knowles Primary School? Then movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s.

Common questions in Bletchley and Fenny Stratford
Do you cover Bletchley and Fenny Stratford for external mastic?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Bletchley and Fenny Stratford is part of that. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing.
Is there a guarantee on external mastic in Bletchley and Fenny Stratford?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
What do you put in the joint?
The product depends on the job: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. We work in offices, washrooms, hotels and other commercial premises, as well as homes. We can talk about working times when we quote.
Do I have to be there?
That depends on where the joints are. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, and for outside work we’ll agree access with you when we book.
Is it OK to fill a movement joint with cement?
No, not if it’s a movement joint. Pointing it stops it working, and the wall may crack nearby. A flexible sealant is the right fill.
Will the new joint stand out?
The aim is a neat, even joint in a colour that suits the wall. We will talk through colour options before any work starts.
Is there any odour?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, but it fades. Opening a window helps.
How the visit works
On the day, we start by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins. The work generally takes a few hours to a few days, depending on the length of joint and the access. In Bletchley and Fenny Stratford, parking is rarely complicated, though it helps to know about driveways or restrictions, and let us know if the work is upstairs, in a flat or up high outside.
- We look at every joint and agree a colour to suit the wall.
- 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.
- A low-modulus exterior sealant is gunned in and tooled to a neat finish.
Before we arrive
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

Advice
What affects the cost of external mastic
Jobs vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- Access and height
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- How much there is to do
- Any working-time requirements on site
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.
Helping us quote
To make quoting easier, please include:
- The rough size of the job
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
We quote each job on its own, so the first step is telling us about yours. Simply call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and describe the job, and pictures are welcome.

Leave it or put it right?
A properly done movement joint is an even line in a colour that suits the wall. A rushed bead with no backing looks untidy and doesn’t last, so it pays to do it properly once. Draughts from a gap round a frame, damp under a sill or water behind a bath panel all start small, and early is when they’re cheapest and quickest to sort.
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.
Why book with us
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over
- Experience in homes, commercial sites and hotels
- Fully insured
- Over 20 years’ experience
How to look after the new joints
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep soil, plants and ivy away from the joints
- Walk round the building once a year and look at the joints
- Check the sealant is paintable before painting near it
- 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.
An open movement joint lets rain into the wall every time it pours. That can lead to damp patches, staining and frost damage which cost more to put right than the joint.
What we cannot put right
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:
- Movement that’s more than a sealant joint can take
- Damp that is not coming from the joint
- Loose or hollow render, which needs re-rendering
If you are not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.
