External mastic in Bow Brickhill
A movement joint is only as good as its depth. Backing rod controls how deep the sealant goes and keeps it off the back of the joint, leaving it bonded to two faces so it can move with the wall. If you have panel joints letting water in and movement joints with cracked, split or missing sealant, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Older homes in small places like Bow Brickhill may be stone, brick or timber-framed, often with later extensions. The joints where those materials meet are the weak points.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you are not left on your own once the job is done.

Can I do it myself?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.

What external mastic looks like in Bow Brickhill
With historic houses such as Bletchley Park (about 2.6 miles west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Bow Brickhill as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older brick and stone need a sealant that suits them, at the right joint depth. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
Schools such as Bow Brickhill CofE VA Primary School are buildings too, and movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s. Homes close to Church of All Saints include some older properties, and old and new materials meet at the roofline and walls, which is where sealant earns its keep.

FAQs for Bow Brickhill
Do you cover Bow Brickhill for external mastic?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Bow Brickhill is part of that. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us what needs doing.
I let a flat near Bow Brickhill station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
How long does external mastic last?
It varies from wall to wall: joints on exposed walls or with a lot of movement age sooner. Check them each year and reseal when they split or harden. Our work comes with a 12-month guarantee.
Can you seal joints between two different materials?
Yes. Different materials move at different rates, so the joint between them must be flexible. We choose one that suits both surfaces.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Our base is in Crawley, West Sussex, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. All our work carries our one-year guarantee.
Will it make a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we tidy up before we go.
Leave it or put it right?
An open joint keeps letting water into the wall with every downpour. Wet masonry is more easily damaged by frost around the joint, so the problem grows beyond the joint itself. Older cottages and farmhouses around Bow Brickhill can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote and we will talk you through it.

How the job changes by surface
Copings and trims
Copings expand and contract through the day, so a flexible sealant suits them best in all weathers.
Joints between dissimilar materials
Joints where frames, sills or panels meet the wall are common leak points. We cut out the old sealant and reseal with a product suited to both surfaces.
Quotes for external mastic in Bow Brickhill
Every job gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether the work is at height
- Any working-time requirements on site
- The number of rooms or windows
- The number and length of the joints
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.
Asking for a quote
To make quoting easier, let us know:
- Roughly how big the job is
- Whether it has been sealed before
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
Getting a quote is simple: tell us what needs doing and where, and roughly how big it is. A few pictures by email make the job easier to understand, and we’ll take it from there.
When something else is needed
We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what sealant can’t put right:
- Damp from another source, such as a leaking gutter or a bridged damp-proof course
- Cracking across the wall rather than at a joint
- Walls that need new movement joints cut into them
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we seal
- Concrete & block
- Façade panels
- Copings & trims
- Brickwork movement joints
- Joints between brick and frames
- Render & cladding joints
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Wash walls gently around the sealant
- Show decorators and builders where the movement joints are
- Keep water from gutters off the wall
- Never let anyone fill a movement joint with mortar
Give the sealant the cure time we tell you before anything rubs against it. Most exterior sealants skin fast but take longer to cure right through.
Water getting behind cladding or render can go unnoticed for a long time. When it finally shows inside, the joint may have been open for years, so it’s worth resealing at the first signs.
How it works
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Show us the job and we will take it from there. The work itself takes a few hours for a handful of joints, longer for a whole elevation from start to finish. In a small place like Bow Brickhill, access is normally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First we look over the joints with you, agree which to renew and talk through access.
- Old sealant and any debris are cut and raked out.
- We clean both faces of the joint and prime them where the product calls for it.
- We push in closed-cell backing rod so the sealant is the right depth and bonds to the sides only.
- The new sealant, chosen to suit the brick or render, is applied and tooled to a neat finish.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Clear the area around the work
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
