What sealant work can’t fix
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- Cracked brickwork or render that needs a builder or plasterer
- Adding movement joints to masonry that has none
- Rising or penetrating damp from elsewhere in the wall
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll say what we think.

About our external mastic in Bradwell Abbey
For buildings in Bradwell Abbey, we reseal external joints of all kinds, from brick movement joints to cladding panels. The preparation is the same whatever the wall: clean, sound faces and a controlled depth. We’re often asked to deal with failed sealant between panels on a façade and gaps where render, brick and frames meet, across joints between brick and frames, brickwork movement joints and copings & trims.
In a village or hamlet like Bradwell Abbey, older cottages and farm buildings often stand in the open, where walls and rooflines take the weather head on. Joints on those walls need a sealant that moves with the building and stays in place.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

Surface by surface
Brickwork movement joints
Brick movement joints are often mistaken for a missing mortar line. Where one has been mortared, we cut it out and reseal it with sealant where it can be done safely.
Joints between dissimilar materials
Wherever two materials meet, they move differently. We seal the joint with a flexible exterior sealant so neither cracks the other.
Common questions in Bradwell Abbey
Will you come out to Bradwell Abbey?
Yes. Bradwell Abbey is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you work for landlords with property near Milton Keynes Central station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before we start.
What colours does the sealant come in?
We choose a sealant colour to suit the brick, stone or render so the joint blends in. Exterior sealants come in a good range of colours.
How long before the joint can be used?
It depends on the product and the temperature. Before we leave, we’ll tell you the cure time.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. We work in offices, washrooms, hotels and other commercial premises. We can talk about working times when we quote.
Do you use backing rod?
That is backing rod, a closed-cell foam. It keeps the sealant at the right depth and bonded to the sides only so it can flex with the joint.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We’re an ARBOMaster approved applicator, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.
Is it worth trying it myself?
That depends on the joint. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Landlords and letting agents in Bradwell Abbey can book us as well as householders. Sealant work between tenants keeps a property looking cared for.
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. Several properties can go on one quote.
Bradwell Abbey buildings and the weather
Milton Keynes, which Bradwell Abbey is part of, is one of England’s post-war new towns. Many homes date from the post-war decades and were built in phases, so neighbouring houses often have rooflines and wall joints of the same age, wearing out at the same time. 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.
If you live in an older home near Church of St Lawrence, older walls, gutters and the joints where extensions meet them need a flexible sealant. Schools such as Bradwell Village School are buildings too, and movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s. If you let a flat or house near Milton Keynes Central station, split movement joints are easy to miss on a rental until damp shows inside.

How the visit works
Once we’re on site, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. Most jobs then take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the building. In a small place like Bradwell Abbey, access is normally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We inspect the joints and agree which need resealing and how they’ll be reached.
- 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.
- Backing rod goes in next, setting the depth and keeping the sealant off the back of the joint.
- We gun in a flexible exterior sealant in a colour that suits the wall and tool it neatly.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

Advice
What affects the quote in Bradwell Abbey
There’s no set price list, because no two jobs are the same. What we look at:
- When we can work, for business premises
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- The product the joint needs
- How much there is to do
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re unsure, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.
Asking for a quote
What to tell us when you ask for a quote:
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- How we’d reach the joints
- Where the property is
- The rough size of the job
It all starts with a short chat. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is, and we’ll explain how we’d tackle it. Whenever you’re ready, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Leave it or put it right?
Mortar or ordinary filler might look like a quick way to close an open joint, but it locks the joint solid. The movement then cracks the brickwork or render nearby. A flexible sealant over backing rod is what the joint needs. In a small place like Bradwell Abbey, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
The cost depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
