Walls and rooflines in Chalfont St Peter
Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind. With historic houses such as Chenies Manor House (about 4.8 miles north) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Chalfont St Peter as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older brick and stone need a sealant that suits them, at the right joint depth.
Rented homes near Gerrards Cross station change hands often, and split movement joints are easy to miss on a rental until damp shows inside. If you live in an older home near Parish Church of St Peter, the joints between older walls, newer extensions and the roofline need a sealant that can move.

External mastic in Chalfont St Peter, done properly
Many failed façade joints only get noticed once there’s a stain or a damp patch inside. We look over the joints, agree the ones to renew and reseal with a flexible, weatherproof product. We are often asked to deal with cracked joints where brick meets render or frames and plants rooting in failed movement joints, on façade panels, copings & trims and joints between brick and frames.
Houses in smaller places like Chalfont St Peter can stand more in the open than those in a built-up town, and walls and rooflines facing the weather take the worst of it. Joints on those sides are usually the first to go.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything is not right with it, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

Can I do it myself?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
What affects the quote in Chalfont St Peter
Call for a quick quote. What matters most is:
- When we can work, for business premises
- Which sealant suits the joint
- The number and length of the joints
- Any mould that needs treating
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part.
Asking for a quote
To make quoting easier, please include:
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
We do not publish a price list, as no two jobs are quite the same. Instead, we give you a clear quote for your job. To get started, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Why deal with it now?
A properly done movement joint is an even line in a colour that suits the wall. A rushed bead with no backing looks untidy and does not last so it’s worth doing right. In an older home around Chalfont St Peter, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the sealant itself.
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You’ll know the price before we begin.

Chalfont St Peter: your questions answered
Can you do external mastic in Chalfont St Peter?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Chalfont St Peter is part of that. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
I let a flat near Gerrards Cross station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear quote.
Can you seal joints between render and window frames?
Yes. Joints between dissimilar materials are a big part of external work. We use a flexible sealant suited to both surfaces with primer where required.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, every time. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. It all has to come out first.
Will it make a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
How long does external mastic take?
A typical job takes a few hours for a handful of joints, longer for a whole elevation, including preparation and clearing up. We’ll confirm how long when we quote.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, we can. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
What sealant work can’t fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Failed render or damaged cladding panels
- Damp from another source, such as a leaking gutter or a bridged damp-proof course
- Adding movement joints to masonry that has none
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.

- Render & cladding joints
- Joints between brick and frames

Signs you need external mastic in Chalfont St Peter
Buildings move more than people expect. Brickwork grows a little over the years, blockwork and concrete shrink, and all of it moves with heat and moisture. All of that ends up in the joint sealant.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Failed seals between different materials
- Rigid filler in a joint that should flex
- Leaking joints around cladding and façade panels
- Joints with sealant missing in places
If you look after a building such as Chalfont St Peter CofE Academy, its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s.

What we do, step by step
We keep the work tidy and contained to the area we are working on, so you can get on with your day. The job normally takes a few hours for a handful of joints, longer for a whole elevation, and we explain the cure time before we leave. A visit to Chalfont St Peter is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- We look at every joint and agree a colour to suit the wall.
- We take out the old sealant until the faces are sound.
- Closed-cell backing rod is pushed in so the sealant bonds to two sides only.
- We prime the faces where required.
- A low-modulus exterior sealant is gunned in and tooled to a neat finish.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Tell us if parking is tricky
Getting a quote
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and email photos if that is easy.
Advice
How to look after the new joints
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Check the sealant is paintable before painting near it
- Keep movement joints as flexible joints, not mortar
- Keep water from gutters off the wall
- Check external joints each spring
Keep the joints clear of soil, plants and climbing growth. Anything that holds water against the joint wears it out sooner.
Act while the splits are small. Then it’s a straightforward cut-out and reseal before water has had years to get in.
