Joints between dissimilar materials
Each side of the joint may need its own preparation. Both surfaces are cleaned and primed as the product requires.
Concrete and blockwork
Wide joints in concrete need the depth controlling carefully. We size the backing rod to the gap.
About our external mastic in Henton
As ARBOMaster approved applicators, we choose exterior sealants to suit the joint and the surfaces. Some surfaces need a primer before sealing, and we do not skip that step. We work on façade panels, joints between brick and frames and brickwork movement joints, and people most often call us about joints where the bead has come unstuck and movement joints filled with mortar instead of sealant.
Older homes in small places like Henton may be stone, brick or timber-framed, often with later extensions. The joints where those materials meet are the weak points, and they need the right sealant at the right depth.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, whatever its size.

Aftercare tips
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Wash walls gently around the sealant
- Fix overflowing gutters above sealed joints
- Look over the joints every year, ideally after winter
- Tell anyone working on the walls about the movement joints
Only paint over the joint if we’ve confirmed the sealant can take paint. Many exterior sealants aren’t designed to be painted, and paint can crack as the joint moves.
A joint that has stopped moving pushes the movement elsewhere, often as cracks near the joint. Catch it early and you reduce the risk.
Henton: your questions answered
Do you cover Henton for external mastic?
Yes, Henton is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear price.
I let a flat near Princes Risborough station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before any work starts.
What does external mastic cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. We agree the price before any work begins.
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.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
How long will you be here?
As a guide, most jobs take a few hours to a few days, depending on the length of joint and the access. Bigger jobs take longer, and we will say how long yours will take.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, always. Each job is guaranteed for twelve months, wherever you are.
Should I point up the gap in my brickwork?
No. Mortar locks the joint solid, so the wall cracks somewhere else instead. It needs a flexible sealant over backing rod.

Outside joints around Henton
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 Adwell House (about 4.6 miles south-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Henton as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older walls and rooflines need a sealant that moves with them and suits the material.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of the Holy Trinity, the joints between older walls, newer extensions and the roofline need a sealant that can move. For landlords with property near Princes Risborough station, outside joints that have cracked can let damp into a rental, so check them between lets.

Related advice
DIY versus a professional finish
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.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.

Why act early in Henton
Sealing over the top of old mastic does not hold for long. New sealant does not bond well to old, weathered sealant, so the old joint is cut out fully first. Around Henton, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
