How the job changes by surface
Copings and trims
Metal and stone copings both move with temperature, so the joints need a sealant that stays flexible.
Render joints
Render has movement joints and stop beads that need sealing. They’re resealed in a sealant that suits the render.
About our external mastic in Leverton
We cut out failed sealant, set the joint depth with closed-cell backing rod and reseal with a low-modulus exterior sealant. The colour is chosen to suit the brick or render so the joint doesn’t stand out. We work on copings & trims, concrete & block and façade panels, and common reasons people get in touch are movement joints filled with mortar instead of sealant and failed seals between different materials.
Around Leverton, older buildings can be stone, brick or timber-framed, many with extensions added later. The joints where those materials meet are the weak points, and they need the right sealant at the right depth.

Leverton buildings and the weather
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind. Historic houses like Ramsbury Manor (about 4.6 miles west) are a reminder that the area around Leverton 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.
Homes close to Church of St Mary include some older properties, and older walls, gutters and the joints where extensions meet them need a flexible sealant. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Chilton Foliat Church of England Primary School, its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s.

DIY versus a professional finish
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
What happens if it’s left?
Mortar or ordinary filler might look like a quick way to close an open joint, but it locks the joint solid. The movement then cracks the brickwork or render nearby. The correct repair is a flexible sealant with the right backing. Around Leverton, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

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.
Can tenants book the work?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Signs you need external mastic in Leverton
Sunlight, wet weather and frost wear exterior sealant down. In time it goes hard, crazes on the surface and stops stretching, so the joint eventually tears or comes away from one side.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Cracked joints where brick meets render or frames
- Sealant pulling away from one side of the joint
- Joints with sealant missing in places
- Joints pointed up with cement by mistake
If you let a flat or house near Hungerford station, split movement joints are easy to miss on a rental until damp shows inside.

Most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the building. Somewhere as small as Leverton, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- Each joint is checked and the colour of the new sealant agreed.
- Failed sealant is removed back to clean, sound faces.
- Backing rod goes in so the sealant can stretch between the two faces.

- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
