External mastic in Church Hanborough
Short cuts in external joints show up within a season or two. Overfilled joints, missing backing rod and sealant laid over old sealant all tend to fail early. We take the old material out and do it properly. Typical jobs include joints where the bead has come unstuck and panel joints letting water in, across concrete & block, render & cladding joints and joints between brick and frames.
Outside joints can only be sealed when they’re dry, so work in Church Hanborough is booked around the forecast. Let us know about access to every wall, plus any garages or outbuildings.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once the job is done.

What affects the quote in Church Hanborough
Every job gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- The type of sealant required
- Working hours on commercial sites
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.
What to tell us for a quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Try to tell us:
- How we’d reach the joints
- The problem you’ve noticed
- A few photos by email, if you can
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
We don’t 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, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
What external mastic looks like in Church Hanborough
London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast. With historic houses such as Blenheim Palace (about 2 miles north-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Church Hanborough as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older brick and stone need a sealant that suits them, at the right joint depth.
If you look after a building such as Hanborough Manor CofE School, its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s. For landlords with property near Hanborough station, outside joints that have cracked can let damp into a rental, so check them between lets.

Leave it or put it right?
A failed movement joint lets water into the wall and can run behind render or cladding. Dealing with it early keeps the repair to the joint, instead of the wall and finishes around it. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Church Hanborough, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you an honest view and a quote.

How it works
There’s no need to move everything out before we come, just the space around the work. Everything nearby is protected, and the job takes a few hours to a few days, depending on the length of joint and the access in most cases. Somewhere as small as Church Hanborough, access is often the only tricky part. 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.
- We cut out the failed sealant and rake out any dirt or growth.
- We clean both faces of the joint and prime them where the product calls for it.
- We push in closed-cell backing rod so the sealant is the right depth and bonds to the sides only.
- A flexible exterior sealant is applied and tooled in a colour to suit the wall.
Before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Mention any tricky access

Advice
Landlord and commercial work in Church Hanborough
From a single let to a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
Hotels need rooms back in use, so we plan the work room by room around your bookings where we can. We have worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
When to call us in Church Hanborough
UV, rain and frost all age exterior sealant. In time it goes hard, crazes on the surface and stops stretching, so the joint eventually tears or comes away from one side.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Movement joints with cracked, split or missing sealant
- Plants rooting in failed movement joints
- Hard, crazed mastic that has stopped moving
- Joints pointed up with cement by mistake
Homes close to Church of St Peter and St Paul include some older properties, and old and new materials meet at the roofline and walls, which is where sealant earns its keep.
What to look for in a quote

- Is VAT in the price?

How to look after the new joints
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Act on the first splits you see
- Leave the joints unpainted unless we’ve said otherwise
- Keep movement joints as flexible joints, not mortar
- Deal with leaking gutters that soak the joints below
Follow the cure time we give you before the joint is knocked or disturbed. The surface skins over quickly, but full cure takes longer.
Once a joint can’t move, the wall finds another way, often as cracks near the joint. Catch it early and you reduce the risk.
What we can’t put right
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Loose or hollow render, which needs re-rendering
- Walls that need new movement joints cut into them
- Cracked brickwork or render that needs a builder or plasterer
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think before you book.
