How we handle external mastic in Kingwood Common
Failed sealant is cut out, the depth set with closed-cell backing rod, and the joint resealed with a low-modulus sealant made for outside. The colour is chosen to suit the brick or render so the line blends in. We work on joints between brick and frames, copings & trims and concrete & block, and the jobs we see most are failed sealant between panels on a façade and plants rooting in failed movement joints.
External sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work around Kingwood Common is planned for dry weather. Tell us about access to all sides of the building, including outbuildings and garages.
Every job is covered by a 12-month guarantee.

What we cannot put right
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant can’t put right:
- Subsidence or other structural problems
- Damp that isn’t coming from the joint
- Cracks in the bricks or render themselves, away from the joints
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Why it’s worth doing now in Kingwood Common
A low-modulus sealant is chosen because it moves without pulling hard at the edges. That protects surfaces like brick, render and concrete. Too stiff a sealant can pull at the edges and break them. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Kingwood Common, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That is why we ask a few questions first and send you a clear quote before work begins.

What the job involves on each surface
Joints between dissimilar materials
Brick against render, concrete against metal, stone against timber: every change of material is a joint. We seal the joint with a flexible exterior sealant so the movement is taken up.
Copings and trims
A failed coping joint lets water into the top of the wall. Resealing them is a small job that protects a lot.
For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Kingwood Common, jobs at different addresses can be quoted together. Send us the addresses and the work at each.
From a single let to a portfolio, the work is the same standard: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
DIY versus a professional finish
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.

External mastic in Kingwood Common: local notes
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. Historic houses like Greys Court (about 1.9 miles north-east) are a reminder that the area around Kingwood Common has older buildings as well as new. 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 The Church of Christ the King, the joints between older walls, newer extensions and the roofline need a sealant that can move. Managing a site like Peppard Church of England Primary School? Then larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing. Rented homes near Henley-On-Thames station change hands often, and outside joints that have cracked can let damp into a rental, so check them between lets.

How long does external mastic last?
That varies with the weather the wall faces, how much it moves and the sealant used. Sealant is a maintenance item, so check the joints once a year and reseal when it splits.
What information do you need?
A short description and the location, plus pictures if you have them. We’ll ask anything else we need to know.
What do you put in the joint?
It depends on the joint: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Is there any odour?
Sometimes, a little. It fades as the sealant cures.
Where is Mr Mastic based?

Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We’re ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
