External Mastic in Booker
Problem with your movement joints in Booker? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
- Hard, crazed mastic that has stopped moving
- Movement joints filled with mortar instead of sealant
- Brick movement joints where the sealant has split
External mastic in Booker
We are ARBOMaster approved applicators, and each external joint gets a sealant suited to it. Some surfaces need a primer before sealing and we use one wherever it does. We’re often asked to deal with rigid filler in a joint that should flex and movement joints with cracked, split or missing sealant, on façade panels, joints between brick and frames and concrete & block.
Around Booker, garages, outbuildings and extensions all add to the joints on the outside of a home. Gutter ends, garage door frames and the joints where an extension meets the house are typical spots for leaks.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee.

For landlords and businesses
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
If you manage several properties in or around Booker, several properties can be quoted together. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs.
How it works
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and explain the cure time. The work normally takes a few hours for a handful of joints, longer for a whole elevation, depending on how much there is to do. For a job in Booker, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- We start by walking round the building and agreeing the joints and the access.
- Every bit of old sealant and any mortar or debris is cut out.
- The faces are brushed clean and primed where the product requires it.
- We fit closed-cell backing rod to control the depth.
- We apply the sealant, tool it and check the whole run.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any tricky access
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

FAQs for Booker
I let a flat near High Wycombe station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
Is Booker within the area you cover?
Yes. Booker is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we’re part of it.
Which products do you use?
It depends on the joint: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, every time. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Our base is in Crawley, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
When is the sealant fully cured?
Cure times vary by product and the temperature. Before we leave, we will tell you the cure time.
How do you reach high-level joints?
That depends on the building and the joints. Where joints can be reached safely, we’ll do them. Give us some details and we’ll confirm the access.
Why act early in Booker
Resealing a run of joints in one go is normally better than patching one at a time. They’ve weathered the same way, and access only has to be arranged once. Around Booker, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, and that’s a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs, plus any working-time requirements on site. Ask us for a quote and we’ll go through it with you.
Why us?
- Quality sealants from Arbo and Everbuild
- We never seal over old sealant
- Over 20 years’ experience
- We’re fully insured

When it isn’t the sealant
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Damp from another source, such as a leaking gutter or a bridged damp-proof course
- Cutting new joints into brickwork, which is building work rather than sealant work
- Structural movement, which needs a surveyor or engineer
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we seal
- Copings & trims
- Joints between brick and frames
- Façade panels
- Render & cladding joints
- Concrete & block
- Brickwork movement joints
What affects the quote in Booker
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- The product the joint needs
- The size of the job
- Any working-time requirements on site
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
Doing several joints on one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We’ll give you a clear price for the lot.
What to tell us for a quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- How we’d reach the joints
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- If someone has resealed it before
Asking for a quote is easy: let us know the job and the location and its rough size. A few pictures by email make the job easier to understand, and we’ll take it from there.
Signs you need external mastic in Booker
Poor preparation causes many early failures: joint faces that were dusty or damp, unprimed where they needed it, or still carrying old sealant. The sealant never bonds properly.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Joints where the bead has come unstuck
- Panel joints letting water in
- Rigid filler in a joint that should flex
- Gaps where render, brick and frames meet
Schools such as Booker Hill School are buildings too, and its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s.

What else we do in Booker
How the job changes by surface
Copings and trims
Joints in copings, parapets and trims are exposed to the worst of the weather. We reseal them with an exterior sealant suited to the material.
Cladding and façade panels
Where a cladding system has its own specified sealant, we follow it. Send us any details you have about the façade.
Booker buildings and the weather
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. With historic houses such as West Wycombe Park House (about 1.6 miles north) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Booker as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older brick and stone need a sealant that suits them, at the right joint depth.
Rented homes near High Wycombe station change hands often, and split movement joints are easy to miss on a rental until damp shows inside. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of Christ the Servant King, old and new materials meet at the roofline and walls, which is where sealant earns its keep.
