Newton Leys buildings and the weather
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind. With historic houses such as Bletchley Park (about 1.6 miles north) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Newton Leys as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older brick and stone need a sealant that suits them, at the right joint depth.
If you let a flat or house near Bletchley station, outside joints that have cracked can let damp into a rental, so check them between lets. If you look after a building such as Newton Leys Primary School, larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing.

External mastic in Newton Leys
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. If you have damp patches traced to an open external joint and joints pointed up with cement by mistake, we can help, on façade panels, render & cladding joints and copings & trims alike.
Homes around Newton Leys range from older cottages to newer houses, with walls and rooflines of every type. Older homes need their gutter and trim joints kept tight, newer ones their movement joints.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee in Newton Leys and across Milton Keynes.

When to call us in Newton Leys
Sunlight, wet weather and frost wear exterior sealant down. Over the years it hardens, cracks on the surface and loses its give, so the next time the wall moves, it splits or pulls away.
Look out for any of the following:
- Sealant that has lost its bond to the brick or render
- Failed seals between different materials
- Failed sealant between panels on a façade
- Movement joints filled with mortar instead of sealant
In the older streets around Water Eaton Church Centre, old and new materials meet at the roofline and walls, which is where sealant earns its keep.
What your quote should include
- How the colour is chosen
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- When the joint can take water or movement
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
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?
A failed movement joint lets water into the wall. Resealing early keeps the job to the joint itself, rather than the wall around it. Around Newton Leys, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, and that’s a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.

How it works
We keep the work tidy and contained to the joints we are treating. The job usually takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the building, and we explain the cure time before we leave. A visit to Newton Leys is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- 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.
- Closed-cell backing rod is fitted to set the depth and stop three-sided bonding.
- A flexible exterior sealant is applied and tooled in a colour to suit the wall.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

Related advice
For landlords and businesses
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. We can quote for more than one property at once.
If you manage several properties in or around Newton Leys, jobs at different addresses can go on one quote. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs.
Aftercare tips
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep soil, plants and ivy away from the joints
- Avoid pressure-washing directly into sealant joints
- Fix overflowing gutters above sealed joints
- Point out the joints to other trades
Don’t let soil, plants or ivy build up against the new joints. Damp material against the sealant shortens its life.
Leaks behind façade panels and render often go unseen. By the time there’s a damp patch, the damage can be well established.
Questions from Newton Leys
I let a flat near Bletchley station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Do you cover smaller places like Newton Leys?
Yes. Newton Leys is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Will it make a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. We protect what’s around the joints, and we clear up when we are done.
How long will you be here?
It depends on the size of the job, but as a guide it takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the building. We will give you a better idea when we quote.
Should I point up the gap in my brickwork?
No, not if it’s a movement joint. Pointing it stops it working and can lead to cracking. We’ll reseal it with a flexible sealant.

Yes. Joints between dissimilar materials are a big part of external work. We use a flexible sealant suited to both surfaces with primer where required.

Do you have insurance?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work.
