Different surfaces, different methods
Render joints
The face of render can be soft, so a low-modulus sealant is kinder to the joint edges. We prime where the product needs it.
Brickwork movement joints
Brick walls have vertical movement joints to absorb expansion. They’re resealed over backing rod with a low-modulus sealant in a colour to suit the brick.
How we handle external mastic in Newton Longville
A movement joint is a deliberate break that lets a wall expand and contract. The sealant in it has to stretch and squeeze for years, and when it fails, the wall takes the strain and water finds a way in. We’re often asked to deal with joints where the bead has come unstuck and hard, crazed mastic that has stopped moving, across copings & trims, concrete & block and brickwork movement joints.
Older homes in small places like Newton Longville may be stone, brick or timber-framed, often with later extensions. Where one material meets another is where water usually gets in.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right with it, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep high-pressure jets off the joints
- Have failed joints looked at early
- Do not let climbing plants root in the sealant
- Fix overflowing gutters above sealed joints
Don’t paint over the new sealant unless we have said the product is paintable. Paint can crack on a flexible joint and spoil the finish.
If you can see gaps, plants or bare sections in a joint, have it checked. Earlier resealing means a smaller job and a better result.
How it works
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building before we come, just the space around the work. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes a few hours to a few days, depending on the length of joint and the access in most cases. For a village or hamlet like Newton Longville, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- First, the joints are inspected and the access agreed.
- We cut out the old mastic and rake out anything in the joint.
- The faces are brushed clean and primed where the product requires it.
- We fit closed-cell backing rod to control the depth.
- The exterior sealant is applied, tooled and checked along its length.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

Walls and rooflines in Newton Longville
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. With historic houses such as Bletchley Park (about 2.1 miles north-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Newton Longville as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older walls and rooflines need a sealant that moves with them and suits the material.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Faith, older walls, gutters and the joints where extensions meet them need a flexible sealant. Managing a site like Newton Longville Church of England Primary School? Then its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s. If you let a flat or house near Bletchley station, split movement joints are easy to miss on a rental until damp shows inside.

Leave it or put it right?
A failed movement joint lets water into the wall and can run behind render or cladding. Resealing early keeps the job to the joint itself, rather than the wall around it. Around Newton Longville, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
