How to look after the new joints
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Make sure movement joints aren’t pointed over
- Wash walls gently around the sealant
- Ask before painting over external sealant
- Walk round the building once a year and look at the joints
If you have more work done on the wall, such as new render, cladding or an opening, show the contractor the movement joints. They must stay as flexible joints, never rendered or pointed over.
Once a joint can’t move, the wall finds another way, normally as cracking in the brickwork or render nearby. Catch it early and you reduce the risk.
How we handle external mastic in Moreton
Short cuts in external joints show up within a season or two. Overfilled joints, missing backing rod and sealant laid over old sealant all tend to fail early. We take the old material out and do it properly. Common call-outs are for leaking joints around cladding and façade panels and joints with sealant missing in places, on render & cladding joints, concrete & block and copings & trims.
In a village or hamlet like Moreton, older cottages and farm buildings often stand in the open, so walls and rooflines take the full force of wind and rain. Joints on those walls need a sealant that moves with the building and stays in place.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

External mastic in Moreton: local notes
Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast. Historic houses like Adwell House (about 3.3 miles south) are a reminder that the area around Moreton has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older brick and stone need a sealant that suits them, at the right joint depth.
Letting a property close to Haddenham & Thame Parkway station? Then failed wall and movement joints let damp in, so they’re worth checking between tenancies. If you look after a building such as Lord Williams's School, its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s.

FAQs for Moreton
Do you cover Moreton for external mastic?
Yes, Moreton is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job, and we will send you a clear quote.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Haddenham & Thame Parkway station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Can you seal joints between two different materials?
Yes. We cut out the old sealant, prepare both faces and reseal with a flexible exterior product. We pick a colour that works with both materials.
How do you reach high-level joints?
That depends on how high the joints are and the ground below. Ground-floor joints are simple; for higher ones, send details and we’ll confirm the access.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, it won’t last. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new bead soon lifts. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
Will there be a smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little.
How long does external mastic take?
Typically it takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the building. Bigger jobs take longer, and we will say how long yours will take.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Just list everything you need.
The process
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and tidy away. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the building. For a village or hamlet like Moreton, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We inspect the joints and agree which need resealing and how they’ll be reached.
- Old sealant and any debris are cut and raked out.
- We clean both faces of the joint and prime them where the product calls for it.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

Should I try it myself first?
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again.

Places near Moreton
Also in Moreton
Different surfaces, different methods
Copings and trims
Copings expand and contract through the day, so the joints need a sealant that stays flexible.
Cladding and façade panels
Panels heat up and cool down quickly, so the joints work hard every day. We choose the product to suit.
What sealant work cannot fix
In fairness, some problems need a different trade:
- Structural movement, which needs a surveyor or engineer
- Damp from another source, such as a leaking gutter or a bridged damp-proof course
- Loose or hollow render, which needs re-rendering
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will say what we think.

Do you need external mastic in Moreton?
A lot of failed joints come down to preparation: joint faces that were dusty or damp, unprimed where they needed it, or still carrying old sealant. The new sealant then lets go long before it should.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Rigid filler in a joint that should flex
- Failed seals between different materials
- Hard, crazed mastic that has stopped moving
- Failed sealant between panels on a façade
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.
