How we handle external mastic in Kingston Bagpuize
For buildings in Kingston Bagpuize, we reseal external joints of all kinds, from brick movement joints to cladding panels. The preparation is the same whatever the wall: clean joint faces and the right depth. We work on façade panels, concrete & block and brickwork movement joints, and people most often call us about brick movement joints where the sealant has split and panel joints letting water in.
Around Kingston Bagpuize, garages, outbuildings and extensions all add to the joints on the outside of a home. Leaks generally start at a gutter end, a garage door frame or where an extension meets the house.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Can I do it myself?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
Aftercare tips
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Keep soil, plants and ivy away from the joints
- Ask before painting over external sealant
- Walk round the building once a year and look at the joints
- Keep water from gutters off the wall
Make sure anyone working on the wall later knows where the movement joints are. They should be kept open and resealed, not filled.
Gaps, plants or missing sealant in a joint are worth getting looked at. Earlier resealing means a smaller job and a better result.
Walls and rooflines in Kingston Bagpuize
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day. With historic houses such as Longworth House (about 1.4 miles north-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Kingston Bagpuize 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.
Schools such as John Blandy Primary School are buildings too, and movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s.

Surface by surface
Concrete and blockwork
Blockwork and concrete shrink over time and move with the seasons. Their movement joints are sealed over backing rod with a flexible sealant.
Render joints
Water behind render can lead to blown patches. Resealing the joints early keeps water out and protects the render itself.
How we quote for external mastic
Jobs vary more than people expect. The main factors:

- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
We do not show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

Where are you based?
Our base is in Crawley, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
When will the joints need doing again?
There’s no fixed answer: joints on exposed walls or with a lot of movement age sooner. Check them each year and reseal when they split or harden. Our work comes with a 12-month guarantee.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. We can plan bigger jobs in stages.
How long will you be here?

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.
How it works
We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. For most jobs that takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the building and we leave things clean and tidy. A visit to Kingston Bagpuize is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- Each joint is checked and the colour of the new sealant agreed.
- We take out the old sealant until the faces are sound.
- Closed-cell backing rod is pushed in so the sealant bonds to two sides only.
- We prime the faces where required.
- We gun in low-modulus sealant and tool it neatly.
Before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

What we can’t put right
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant won’t put right:
- Adding movement joints to masonry that has none
- Damp that isn’t coming from the joint
- Structural movement, which needs a surveyor or engineer
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we seal
- Joints between brick and frames
- Concrete & block
- Copings & trims
- Façade panels
- Brickwork movement joints
- Render & cladding joints
When to call us in Kingston Bagpuize
Joints sealed without backing rod, or far too deep, rarely last. If the sealant sticks to the back as well as the sides, it can’t stretch and tears as soon as the joint widens.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Brick movement joints where the sealant has split
- Old sealant gone brittle and cracked
- Sealant that has lost its bond to the brick or render
- Joints pointed up with cement by mistake
In the older streets around Church of St John the Baptist, an extension built onto an older house moves differently, and the joint between them takes the strain.
Comparing quotes
- When the joint can take water or movement
- Whether they’re fully insured
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- Which colour the sealant will be
