About our external mastic in Little Ickford
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. We work on copings & trims, concrete & block and render & cladding joints, and people most often call us about brick movement joints where the sealant has split and joints where the bead has come unstuck.
External sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work around Little Ickford is planned for dry weather. Let us know about access to every wall, plus any garages or outbuildings.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee.

Walls and rooflines in Little Ickford
London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind. Historic houses like Boarstall Tower (about 4.8 miles north) are a reminder that the area around Little Ickford has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older brick and stone need a sealant that suits them, at the right joint depth.
For landlords with property near Haddenham & Thame Parkway station, outside joints that have cracked can let damp into a rental, so check them between lets. If you live in an older home near Parish Church of St Nicholas, old and new materials meet at the roofline and walls, which is where sealant earns its keep. If you look after a building such as Ickford School, movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
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. Everything old must be removed first.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
Your questions about external mastic in Little Ickford
Do you work for landlords with property near Haddenham & Thame Parkway station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Will you come out to Little Ickford?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Does someone need to be in?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
How long will you be here?
Most jobs take a few hours to a few days, depending on the length of joint and the access, including the preparation. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
Can you seal joints between render and window frames?
Yes. Different materials move at different rates, so a flexible sealant is needed where they meet. We choose one that suits both surfaces.
How long before the joint can be used?
That depends on the sealant used, so follow the cure time we give you.
How often do external joints need resealing?
That depends on the wall, the weather and the movement. Look for splits, hardening or edges coming away, and reseal at that point.
What does external mastic cost?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Ask us for a quote.
What the job involves on each 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
Rendered walls have joints at beads, openings and changes of material. They’re resealed in a sealant that suits the render.
What affects the quote in Little Ickford
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- Any mould that needs treating
- Which sealant suits the joint
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- When we can work, for business premises
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are unsure, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us for an honest opinion and a quote.
Asking for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can tell us:
- Whether it has been sealed before
- The type of property
- Roughly how big the job is
- Where the property is
We do not publish a price list. Instead, we send you a clear quote for your job. To arrange one, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Honest limits
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Cracking across the wall rather than at a joint
- Walls that need new movement joints cut into them
- Structural movement, which needs a surveyor or engineer
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will tell you honestly.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Concrete & block
- Copings & trims
- Joints between brick and frames
- Brickwork movement joints
- Façade panels
- Render & cladding joints
Why deal with it now?
Running new sealant over the old bead rarely lasts. New sealant does not bond well to old, weathered sealant, so we always take the old sealant out. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Little Ickford, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, plus any working-time requirements on site. Call for a quick quote and we will go through it with you.
