DIY versus a professional finish
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out 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, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
What external mastic looks like in Moulsoe
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 Linford Manor (about 3.4 miles west) are a reminder that the area around Moulsoe 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.
Letting a property close to Woburn Sands station? Then outside joints that have cracked can let damp into a rental, so check them between lets. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Mary, the joints between older walls, newer extensions and the roofline need a sealant that can move.

Why it’s worth doing now in Moulsoe
An open joint keeps letting water into the wall with every downpour. In cold weather, frost can damage wet brick and render, so the damage spreads beyond the joint. In a small place like Moulsoe, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.

What sealant work can’t fix
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Rising or penetrating damp from elsewhere in the wall
- Structural movement, which needs a surveyor or engineer
- Failed render or damaged cladding panels
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you a straight answer.
Where we work in Moulsoe
- Joints between brick and frames
- Render & cladding joints
- Façade panels
- Concrete & block
- Brickwork movement joints
- Copings & trims
Keeping the joints in good condition
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Keep movement joints as flexible joints, not mortar
- Look over the joints every year, ideally after winter
- Have failed joints looked at early
- Leave the joints unpainted unless we have said otherwise
Follow the cure time we give you before the joint is knocked or disturbed. The surface skins over quickly, but full cure takes longer.
An open movement joint lets rain into the wall every time it pours. Over time it can mean damp inside, stained render or frost-damaged brick which cost more to put right than the joint.
