Forty Green questions
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Beaconsfield station?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Is Forty Green in your area for external mastic?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Forty Green is part of that. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
Does someone need to be in?
We need access to the joints, so we will agree that with you when we book. Indoors, that usually means someone at home.
Can you seal joints between two different materials?
Yes. Joints between dissimilar materials are a big part of external work. We use a flexible sealant suited to both surfaces.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.
Do you work at height?
Each building is different. Send us pictures and a rough idea of the height, and we’ll confirm what access is needed.
Why do you put foam in the joint first?
The foam is closed-cell backing rod. It stops the sealant going in too deep and bonding to three sides, which would stop it stretching.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. We’ve worked for hotels, offices and other businesses.
How we handle external mastic in Forty Green
Failed sealant is cut out, the depth set with closed-cell backing rod, and the joint resealed with a low-modulus sealant made for outside. The colour is chosen to suit the brick or render. Typical jobs include damp patches traced to an open external joint and gaps where render, brick and frames meet, across copings & trims, concrete & block and brickwork movement joints.
External sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work around Forty Green is planned for dry weather. Tell us about access to all sides of the building, including outbuildings and garages.
Big or small, you get the same 12-month guarantee.

Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. We can quote for more than one property at once.
What the job involves on each surface
Copings and trims
A failed coping joint lets water into the top of the wall. Sealing them early saves the wall below.
Cladding and façade panels
Metal and composite panels move a lot with temperature, so the joint sealant has to cope with frequent movement. The sealant is chosen with that in mind.

Keeping the joints in good condition
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Keep movement joints as flexible joints, not mortar
- Avoid pressure-washing directly into sealant joints
- Do not let climbing plants root in the sealant
- Have failed joints looked at early
Follow the cure time we give you before the joint is knocked or disturbed. Most exterior sealants skin fast but take longer to cure right through.
Small splits are the time to act. Then it’s a straightforward cut-out and reseal.
The process
When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. Most jobs then take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the building. Somewhere like Forty Green needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- Each joint is checked and the colour of the new sealant agreed.
- 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.

Leave it or put it right?
Done well, a resealed joint is a neat, straight line that suits the wall. A hurried job with smeared edges and no backing looks worse and fails sooner, so it pays to do it properly once. Around Forty Green, older homes often have timber in their 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 we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

What we are called out for in Forty Green

- Damp patches traced to an open external joint
- Cracked joints where brick meets render or frames
- Plants rooting in failed movement joints
- Old sealant gone brittle and cracked

External mastic in Forty Green: local notes
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 Cliveden (about 4.1 miles south) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Forty Green as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older walls and rooflines need a sealant that moves with them and suits the material.
In the older streets around Church of St Michael and All Angels, older walls, gutters and the joints where extensions meet them need a flexible sealant. Letting a property close to Beaconsfield station? Then split movement joints are easy to miss on a rental until damp shows inside.
