About our external mastic in Chalfont Common
For buildings in Chalfont Common, we reseal external joints of all kinds, from brick movement joints to cladding panels. The preparation is the same whatever the wall: clean joint faces and the right depth. We work on brickwork movement joints, copings & trims and façade panels, and people most often call us about sealant pulling away from one side of the joint and damp patches traced to an open external joint.
In a village or hamlet like Chalfont Common, older cottages and farm buildings often stand in the open, where walls and rooflines take the weather head on. Gutter joints and wall joints there need a sealant that can flex and stay put.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right with it, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Point out the joints to other trades
- Have failed joints looked at early
- Wash walls gently around the sealant
- Leave the joints unpainted unless we have said otherwise
Only paint over the joint if we have confirmed the sealant can take paint. Paint can crack on a flexible joint and spoil the finish.
Once a joint cannot move, the wall finds another way, often as cracks near the joint. Catch it early and you reduce the risk.
Outside joints around Chalfont Common
With historic houses such as Chenies Manor House (about 3.8 miles north) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Chalfont Common as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older brick and stone need a sealant that suits them, at the right joint depth. Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
Letting a property close to Gerrards Cross station? Then outside joints that have cracked can let damp into a rental, so check them between lets. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Robertswood School, larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing. If you live in an older home near St Paul's, an extension built onto an older house moves differently, and the joint between them takes the strain.

Questions from Chalfont Common
Do you cover Chalfont Common for external mastic?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Chalfont Common is part of that. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
Do you cover smaller places like Chalfont Common?
Yes, Chalfont Common is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
How often do external joints need resealing?
It depends on the exposure, the movement and the product. Sealant is a maintenance item, so check the joints once a year.
Do you work at height?
It depends on the building. Where joints can be reached safely, we will do them. Tell us about the building and we’ll confirm what access is needed.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before resealing.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often happy for the work to be arranged.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done and you will get one quote.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. We remove it all first.

What else we do in Chalfont Common
How it works
We keep the work tidy and contained to the area we are working on. Expect the work to take a few hours for a handful of joints, longer for a whole elevation, and we explain the cure time before we leave. Somewhere as small as Chalfont Common, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We look at every joint and agree a colour to suit the wall.
- We take out the old sealant until the faces are sound.
- Backing rod goes in so the sealant can stretch between the two faces.
- We prime the faces where required.
- We gun in low-modulus sealant and tool it neatly.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the work
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Mention any parking rules near the property

Landlords, agents and businesses in Chalfont Common
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report. Several properties can go on one quote.
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
Why act early in Chalfont Common
The longer a joint stays open, the more water the wall takes in. Wet masonry is more easily damaged by frost around the joint, so the damage spreads beyond the joint. Older cottages and farmhouses around Chalfont Common can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

Honest limits
We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Rising or penetrating damp from elsewhere in the wall
- Subsidence or other structural problems
- Walls that need new movement joints cut into them
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we seal
- Render & cladding joints
- Concrete & block
- Joints between brick and frames
- Façade panels
- Copings & trims
- Brickwork movement joints
Can I do it myself?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
