External mastic in Buckland, done properly
Joints in render and cladding are easy to overlook until a damp patch appears. We inspect them, agree which need doing and reseal with a weatherproof, flexible sealant in a matching colour. If you’re dealing with water getting into walls through failed joints and cracked joints where brick meets render or frames, we can put it right, on copings & trims, façade panels and concrete & block alike.
In a village or hamlet like Buckland, older cottages and farm buildings often stand in the open, so walls and rooflines take the full force of wind and rain. Gutter joints and wall joints there need a sealant that can flex and stay put.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee.

What happens on the day
Our applicators work methodically: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the building and we leave things clean and tidy. For a village or hamlet like Buckland, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We look at every joint and agree a colour to suit the wall.
- Failed sealant is removed back to clean, sound faces.
- Backing rod goes in so the sealant can stretch between the two faces.
- We prime the faces where required.
- A low-modulus exterior sealant is gunned in and tooled to a neat finish.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Mention any tricky access
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

Advice
When to call us in Buckland
Using the wrong sealant is another common reason. A stiff, general-purpose sealant cannot cope with a joint that moves a lot, and it tears off the sides.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Damp patches traced to an open external joint
- Joints pointed up with cement by mistake
- Moss and dirt in joints with no sealant left
- Failed sealant between panels on a façade
Homes close to Church of St Mary the Virgin include some older properties, and old and new materials meet at the roofline and walls, which is where sealant earns its keep.

Keeping the joints in good condition
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Do not let climbing plants root in the sealant
- Keep water from gutters off the wall
- Get split or bare joints resealed while the damage is small
- Tell anyone working on the walls about the movement joints
Make sure anyone working on the wall later knows where the movement joints are. They should be kept open and resealed, not filled.
Act while the splits are small. Then it’s a straightforward cut-out and reseal with no damage behind it to deal with.

What affects the quote in Buckland
Call for a quick quote. What matters most is:

- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- The product the joint needs
- The size of the job
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

Why deal with it now?
Mortar or ordinary filler might look like a quick way to close an open joint, but it locks the joint solid. The wall then cracks somewhere else. The correct repair is a flexible sealant with the right backing. Older cottages and farmhouses around Buckland can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part.

Is Buckland within the area you cover?
Yes. Buckland 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.
Why is there a gap in my brick wall?
A vertical gap in a long brick wall is generally a movement joint. It gives the wall room to move and needs a flexible seal, not mortar.
Should I try DIY first?
You can, for simple jobs. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. If it doesn’t work out, we can redo it.

It depends on the product. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all.

Yes. Full insurance covers our work.
