External mastic in Hungerford, done properly
We’re ARBOMaster approved applicators, and each external joint gets a sealant suited to it. Porous or awkward surfaces are primed where the sealant needs it. If you have cracked joints where brick meets render or frames and leaking joints around cladding and façade panels, we can help, on concrete & block, brickwork movement joints and render & cladding joints alike.
Somewhere as small as Hungerford, homes and farm buildings often face open ground, so walls and rooflines take the full force of wind and rain. Gutter joints and wall joints there need a sealant that can flex and stay put.
Our work is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

What affects the cost of external mastic
For a quick quote, just ask. What matters most is:
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- The product the joint needs
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- How easy the joints are to reach
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
What we need to know
To help us quote quickly, let us know:
- Whether it’s a home or a business

- Where the property is

How to look after the new joints
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Point out the joints to other trades
- Make sure movement joints aren’t pointed over
- Check external joints each spring
- Keep high-pressure jets off the joints
Have a quick look at the joints each spring. Splits, gaps at the edges or plants in the joint are early warning signs.
Act while the splits are small. At that stage it’s a simple cut out and reseal.
Surface by surface
Brickwork movement joints
Brick walls have vertical movement joints to absorb expansion. We reseal them with a low-modulus sealant over backing rod in a colour to suit the brick.
Joints between dissimilar materials
Each side of the joint may need its own preparation. Both surfaces are cleaned and primed as the product requires.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
What external mastic looks like in Hungerford
London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
Schools such as Waltham St Lawrence Primary School are buildings too, and its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s.

How it works
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours to a few days, depending on the length of joint and the access. In a small place like Hungerford, access is normally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We start by checking each joint, agreeing the ones to redo and how we’ll reach them.
- We cut out the failed sealant and rake out any dirt or growth.
- Both sides are cleaned back to sound material and primed if needed.
- We push in closed-cell backing rod so the sealant is the right depth and bonds to the sides only.
- We gun in a flexible exterior sealant in a colour that suits the wall and tool it neatly.
How to prepare
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

Common questions in Hungerford
Do you cover Hungerford for external mastic?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Hungerford is part of that. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.
Is Hungerford within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?

How often do external joints need resealing?
It varies from wall to wall: sunny, exposed elevations and busy joints wear faster. A yearly look will tell you when they need doing. Our work comes with a 12-month guarantee.
Do I have to be there?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you reach joints on upper floors?
It depends on the height and the site. Low-level joints are straightforward; for higher ones, send details and we’ll confirm the access.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before resealing.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Tell us what needs doing and where, with photos by email if possible. We’ll ask anything else we need to know.
Common problems we fix in Hungerford
Sometimes a movement joint was filled with mortar or a rigid filler. With the joint locked solid, the movement turns into cracks elsewhere in the wall.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Rigid filler in a joint that should flex
- Failed seals between different materials
- Brick movement joints where the sealant has split
- Damp patches traced to an open external joint
If you let a flat or house near Twyford station, split movement joints are easy to miss on a rental until damp shows inside.
Before you book anyone
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- What the cure time is
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
Why act early in Hungerford
It often makes sense to reseal all the failing joints on an elevation together. Joints of the same age tend to fail together. Older cottages and farmhouses around Hungerford can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed. Call for a quick quote and we will go through it with you.
