High Cogges External Mastic

- Brick movement joints where the sealant has split
- Moss and dirt in joints with no sealant left
- Leaking joints around cladding and façade panels
Should I try it myself first?
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.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
External mastic in High Cogges, 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, leaving it bonded to two faces so it can move with the wall. Common call-outs are for moss and dirt in joints with no sealant left and weathered mastic that no longer stretches, on concrete & block, brickwork movement joints and copings & trims.
Around High Cogges, older buildings can be stone, brick or timber-framed, many with extensions added later. Where one material meets another is where water usually gets in, and they need the right sealant at the right depth.
You get a 12-month guarantee, the same in High Cogges as everywhere else we work.

What else we do in High Cogges
How we quote for external mastic
The price is agreed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- When we can work, for business premises
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Whether the work is at height
- The old material and how stubborn it is
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.
What we need to know
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Try to tell us:
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- How we’d reach the joints
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
Need a quote? Please ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the job. You will know what we plan to do, and what it will cost, before any work begins.
What we are called out for in High Cogges
Weeds, moss and debris in a joint are a sign the sealant has gone. Roots and dirt hold water against the wall and speed up the damage.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Joints with sealant missing in places
- Moss and dirt in joints with no sealant left
- Sealant that has lost its bond to the brick or render
- Weathered mastic that no longer stretches
Homes close to Church of St James include some older properties, and an extension built onto an older house moves differently, and the joint between them takes the strain.

When something else is needed
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:

- Damp from another source, such as a leaking gutter or a bridged damp-proof course
- Cracks in the bricks or render themselves, away from the joints
If you are not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Leave it or put it right?
Running new sealant over the old bead rarely lasts. The new layer can’t bond properly to old, weathered material, so the old joint is cut out fully first. Older cottages and farmhouses around High Cogges can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.

External mastic in High Cogges: local notes
With historic houses such as Minster Lovell Hall (about 3.6 miles north-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around High Cogges 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. Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
If you look after a building such as The Blake Church of England Primary School, its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s. For landlords with property near Combe station, outside joints that have cracked can let damp into a rental, so check them between lets.
