External mastic for homes and businesses in Hardwick
External mastic is a job where short cuts show quickly. Overfilled joints, missing backing rod and sealant laid over old sealant rarely last long. We take the old material out and do it properly. If you have weathered mastic that no longer stretches and damp patches traced to an open external joint, we can put it right, on render & cladding joints, brickwork movement joints and copings & trims alike.
Outside joints can only be sealed when they’re dry, so work in Hardwick is booked around the forecast. Let us know about access to every wall, plus any garages or outbuildings.
All our work is covered by our 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Buckinghamshire.

Hardwick: your questions answered
Is Hardwick in your area for external mastic?
Yes, Hardwick is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Will you come out to Hardwick?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
How long should I leave it?
It depends on the product and the conditions. We tell you how long to leave it before we go.
Can a movement joint be filled with mortar?
No, not where the gap is a movement joint. Filling it with mortar defeats its purpose. A flexible sealant is the right fill.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We are approved under the ARBOMaster scheme.
Can tenants book the work?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Should I try DIY first?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes, regularly. Larger jobs can be planned room by room or area by area.
DIY versus a professional finish
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
What we do, step by step
On the day, we start by going over the job with you. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins. Most jobs take a few hours for a handful of joints, longer for a whole elevation. Somewhere like Hardwick needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- First we look over the joints with you, agree which to renew and talk through access.
- The old mastic and anything lodged in the joint is removed.
- We clean both faces of the joint and prime them where the product calls for it.
- Closed-cell backing rod is fitted to set the depth and stop three-sided bonding.
- A flexible exterior sealant is applied and tooled in a colour to suit the wall.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

What external mastic looks like in Hardwick
With historic houses such as Waddesdon Manor (about 4.8 miles west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Hardwick 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. Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Mary, older walls, gutters and the joints where extensions meet them need a flexible sealant. If you let a flat or house near Aylesbury Vale Parkway station, failed wall and movement joints let damp in, so they’re worth checking between tenancies. Managing a site like Old School Room Chapel? Then larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing.
Hardwick is about 3 miles north of Aylesbury, in Buckinghamshire.

Different surfaces, different methods
Cladding and façade panels
Metal and composite panels move a lot with temperature, so the joint sealant has to cope with frequent movement. We choose the product to suit.
Copings and trims
Copings expand and contract through the day, so the joints need a sealant that stays flexible.
What happens if it’s left?
Low-modulus sealants stretch easily, so they put less strain on the joint edges. That protects surfaces like brick, render and concrete. Too stiff a sealant can pull at the edges and break them. Older cottages and farmhouses around Hardwick can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
