- Sealant pulling away from one side of the joint
When to call us in Drayton Parslow
If plants are growing out of a joint, the sealant has usually failed or was never there. Dirt and roots then trap moisture in the joint and make things worse.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Rain getting behind render or cladding at a joint
- Joints where the bead has come unstuck
- Movement joints filled with mortar instead of sealant
- Panel joints letting water in
If you let a flat or house near Bletchley station, outside joints that have cracked can let damp into a rental, so check them between lets.
What your quote should include
- Who turns up on the day
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- Whether you can choose the colour
- What product goes in the joint
External mastic in Drayton Parslow, done properly
A movement joint is only as good as its depth. Backing rod controls how deep the sealant goes and keeps it off the back of the joint, so it bonds to the two sides only and can stretch. If you have movement joints with cracked, split or missing sealant and rigid filler in a joint that should flex, we can put it right.
Somewhere as small as Drayton Parslow, homes and farm buildings often face open ground, so walls and rooflines take the full force of wind and rain. Joints on those walls need a sealant that moves with the building and stays in place.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee in Drayton Parslow and across Milton Keynes.

Aftercare tips
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Leave the joints unpainted unless we have said otherwise
- Look over the joints every year, ideally after winter
- Don’t let climbing plants root in the sealant
- Keep water from gutters off the wall
If you have more work done on the wall, such as new render, cladding or an opening, show the contractor the movement joints. They must stay as flexible joints, never rendered or pointed over.
An open movement joint lets rain into the wall every time it pours. Over time it can mean damp inside, stained render or frost-damaged brick.

What external mastic looks like in Drayton Parslow
Historic houses like Bletchley Park (about 3.7 miles north-east) are a reminder that the area around Drayton Parslow has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older walls and rooflines need a sealant that moves with them and suits the material. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
Managing a site like Drayton Parslow Village School? Then larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of Holy Trinity, the joints between older walls, newer extensions and the roofline need a sealant that can move.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
What sealant work can’t fix
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we’ll tell you before any work starts. Sealant will not put right:
- Movement that’s more than a sealant joint can take
- Rising or penetrating damp from elsewhere in the wall
- Failed render or damaged cladding panels
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Façade panels
- Joints between brick and frames
- Copings & trims
- Render & cladding joints
- Concrete & block
- Brickwork movement joints

What else we do in Drayton Parslow
Why it’s worth doing now in Drayton Parslow
An open joint keeps letting water into the wall with every downpour. In cold weather, frost can damage wet brick and render, so the damage spreads beyond the joint. Around Drayton Parslow, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.
