External & façade joints in Broughton, Milton Keynes
We cover Broughton for sealing brickwork movement joints, render, cladding and façade joints. Old material cut out, joints cleaned and sealed neatly.
- Movement joints with cracked, split or missing sealant
- Sealant that has lost its bond to the brick or render
- Rigid filler in a joint that should flex
About our external mastic in Broughton
Movement joints let brickwork, render and cladding expand and shrink without cracking. Its sealant has to flex with the building, season after season, and when it fails, the wall takes the strain and water finds a way in. We’re often asked to deal with rigid filler in a joint that should flex and panel joints letting water in, across copings & trims, brickwork movement joints and concrete & block.
Outbuildings, garages and conservatories around homes in places like Broughton add more joints to look after. Gutter ends, garage door frames and the joints where an extension meets the house are typical spots for leaks.
Big or small, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
We also work for property managers and facilities teams in Broughton and across Milton Keynes. We can quote a run of properties together, and we are fully insured for the work.
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the address, the job and how access works.
When to call us in Broughton
If plants are growing out of a joint, the sealant has usually failed or was never there. Roots and dirt hold water against the wall and make things worse.
Look out for any of the following:
- Leaking joints around cladding and façade panels
- Movement joints with cracked, split or missing sealant
- Movement joints filled with mortar instead of sealant
- Gaps where render, brick and frames meet
Letting a property close to Woburn Sands station? Then failed wall and movement joints let damp in, so they’re worth checking between tenancies.

Quotes for external mastic in Broughton
We don’t publish a price list. What we look at:
- The type of sealant required
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- How much there is to do
- How many areas need sealing
Instead of a standard rate, 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.
What to tell us for a quote
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- If someone has resealed it before
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
- The address or postcode of the job
We quote each job on its own. Simply phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and describe the job, and pictures are welcome.
What the job involves on each surface
Cladding and façade panels
If the façade has a specified sealant, that’s what we use, or one the system allows. Send us any details you have about the façade.
Joints between dissimilar materials
Each side of the joint may need its own preparation. We prepare both faces so the sealant bonds properly.
The process
All our tools and materials come with us in the van. Once we have agreed what’s being done, we protect the area and start. It normally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the building. Parking around Broughton is generally easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- First, the joints are inspected and the access agreed.
- Every bit of old sealant and any mortar or debris is cut out.
- Joint faces are cleaned back and primed if the sealant needs it.
- Backing rod sized to the joint goes in to set the depth.
- We apply the sealant, tool it and check the whole run.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Mention any tricky access
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

Advice
Questions from Broughton
Can you do external mastic in Broughton?
Yes, Broughton is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job, and we will send you a clear quote.
Is Broughton within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We’re ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Can a movement joint be filled with mortar?
No. Cement or mortar cannot stretch and the joint fails. Where a joint has been mortared, it can often be raked out and sealed properly.
Does someone need to be in?
That depends on where the joints are. Inside work needs someone to give us access, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
Why do you put foam in the joint first?
We fit closed-cell backing rod wherever the joint depth needs controlling. It controls the depth and stops the sealant bonding to the back, so the joint can move.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. If you can, email a few pictures.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before resealing.
Broughton buildings and the weather
London and the South East are among 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 Linford Manor (about 3.1 miles north-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Broughton as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older walls and rooflines need a sealant that moves with them and suits the material.
If you live in an older home near St Lawrence's Church, older walls, gutters and the joints where extensions meet them need a flexible sealant. Managing a site like Broughton Fields Primary School? Then its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s.

When it isn’t the sealant
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant will not put right:
- Rising or penetrating damp from elsewhere in the wall
- Cracking across the wall rather than at a joint
- Subsidence or other structural problems
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
What we seal
- Joints between brick and frames
- Concrete & block
- Façade panels
- Render & cladding joints
- Brickwork movement joints
- Copings & trims
Why it’s worth doing now in Broughton
Mortar or ordinary filler might look like a quick way to close an open joint, but it stops the joint moving. The movement then cracks the brickwork or render nearby. The correct repair is a flexible sealant with the right backing. In an older home around Broughton, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, and that’s a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
Combining jobs into one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We will give you a clear quote for the lot.
