External Mastic in Old Wolverton

How we handle external mastic in Old Wolverton
Movement joints let brickwork, render and cladding expand and shrink without cracking. Its sealant has to flex with the building, season after season, so once it splits or hardens, the joint stops working and water gets in. We work on joints between brick and frames, render & cladding joints and brickwork movement joints, and people most often call us about sealant that has lost its bond to the brick or render and water getting into walls through failed joints.
Houses in smaller places like Old Wolverton can stand more in the open than those in a built-up town, so exposed walls and rooflines take more wind-driven rain. That is where gutter joints and wall joints tend to fail first.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, whatever its size.

Should I try it myself first?
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Old Wolverton: your questions answered
Do you work for landlords with property near Wolverton station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Do you cover smaller places like Old Wolverton?
Yes, Old Wolverton is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, it won’t last. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. The old sealant has to come out completely.
Do I have to be there?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. Once we’ve agreed the job, you don’t need to watch us work.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. Commercial and hotel work is a large part of what we do, as well as homes. Working times can be discussed when we quote.
How long should I leave it?
Most sealants are touch-dry well before they’re fully cured. We’ll tell you how long to leave the joint.
Do you use backing rod?
The foam is closed-cell backing rod. It stops the sealant going in too deep and bonding to three sides.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Doing several areas at once is normally more efficient.
Different surfaces, different methods
Concrete and blockwork
The face of concrete or block is often dusty, so preparation is key. We prime where the sealant needs it before the bead.
Cladding and façade panels
Panel systems often rely on sealant between and around the panels. Each joint gets a sealant that suits the panel and its movement.
Aftercare tips
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Tell anyone working on the walls about the movement joints
- Check the sealant is paintable before painting near it
- Deal with leaking gutters that soak the joints below
- Have failed joints looked at early
Don’t paint over the new sealant unless we have said the product is paintable. Many exterior sealants are not designed to be painted, and paint can crack as the joint moves.
Leave a failed movement joint and water keeps getting into the wall. Over time it can mean damp inside, stained render or frost-damaged brick which cost more to put right than the joint.
What happens on the day
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the building. A visit to Old Wolverton 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.
- First, the joints are inspected and the access agreed.
- We cut out the old mastic and rake out anything in the joint.
- Joint faces are cleaned back and primed if the sealant needs it.
- Backing rod sized to the joint goes in to set the depth.
- We apply the sealant, tool it and check the whole run.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

Honest limits
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant can’t put right:
- Cutting new joints into brickwork, which is building work rather than sealant work
- Loose or hollow render, which needs re-rendering
- Subsidence or other structural problems
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will say what we think before you book.

What affects the quote in Old Wolverton
There’s no set price list. The quote depends on:
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- The number of rooms or windows
- The product the joint needs
- Access and height
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part.
Asking for a quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Please mention:
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- The rough size of the job
- Whether it has been sealed before
Every job is quoted individually, so the first step is telling us about yours. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details, and pictures are welcome.
Outside joints around Old Wolverton
With historic houses such as Linford Manor (about 2.9 miles east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Old Wolverton 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. 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.
Managing a site like Wyvern School? Then movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s. Rented homes near Wolverton station change hands often, and outside joints that have cracked can let damp into a rental, so check them between lets. Homes close to Holy Trinity Church include some older properties, and old and new materials meet at the roofline and walls, which is where sealant earns its keep.

Why deal with it now?
Running new sealant over the old bead rarely lasts. New sealant doesn’t bond well to old, weathered sealant, so the old joint is cut out fully first. Homes in smaller places like Old Wolverton can face more weather, and failed outside joints let damp into walls. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.
Doing several joints on one visit is normally more efficient than separate visits. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.
