How we handle external mastic in Bletchley
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. If you’re dealing with weathered mastic that no longer stretches and sealant pulling away from one side of the joint, we can help.
Garage door frames, porches and roofline trims are all part of external work in a town like Bletchley. Each joint between different materials moves in its own way, so the sealant has to cope with that.
A 12-month guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Why it’s worth doing now in Bletchley
Resealing a run of joints in one go is normally better than patching one at a time. They’ve weathered the same way. Around Bletchley, failed sealant lets water into hidden places, like the floor under a bath, the back of a panel or the inside of a wall. Whatever the joint, failed sealant only gets worse.

External mastic in Bletchley: local notes

In older buildings, older brick and stone need a sealant that suits them, at the right joint depth.

Advice
Common questions in Bletchley
Do you work for landlords with property near Bletchley station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Do you cover Bletchley for external mastic?
Yes, Bletchley is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and let us know what needs doing.
Will there be a smell?
Possibly a little. It fades as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Will it make a mess?
Not at all. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We’re an ARBOMaster approved applicator, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with our work in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.
What is backing rod for?
Backing rod controls the sealant depth and keeps it off the back of the joint. Then the sealant bonds to two faces and can move.
Can a movement joint be filled with mortar?
No. Rigid materials can’t move with the wall. If it has already been filled, we can usually cut it out and reseal it.
What we can’t put right
To be straight with you, some problems need a different trade:
- Adding movement joints to masonry that has none
- Structural movement, which needs a surveyor or engineer
- Cracks in the bricks or render themselves, away from the joints
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Concrete & block
- Copings & trims
- Façade panels
- Render & cladding joints
- Brickwork movement joints
- Joints between brick and frames
Common problems we fix in Bletchley
Poor preparation causes many early failures: joint faces that were dusty or damp, unprimed where they needed it, or still carrying old sealant. The new sealant then lets go long before it should.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Weathered mastic that no longer stretches
- Rigid filler in a joint that should flex
- Weeds or debris growing in open joints
- Movement joints with cracked, split or missing sealant
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Holne Chase Primary School, its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s.
What to look for in a quote
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- How long to leave it before use
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
For landlords and businesses
Landlords and letting agents in Bletchley can book us as well as homeowners. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order before the next move-in.
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
How to look after the new joints
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Point out the joints to other trades
- Fix overflowing gutters above sealed joints
- Have failed joints looked at early
- Check the sealant is paintable before painting near it
Keep the joints clear of soil, plants and climbing growth. Damp material against the sealant shortens its life.
A joint that has stopped moving pushes the movement elsewhere, often as cracks near the joint. Resealing it early helps prevent that.
DIY versus a professional finish
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
