Why act early in Puttenham
A low-modulus sealant is chosen because it moves without pulling hard at the edges. That matters on brick, render and concrete, which can be weaker at the face. Too stiff a sealant can pull at the edges and break them. Around Puttenham, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
The cost depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts.

About our external mastic in Puttenham
Ground-floor and low-level joints are straightforward to reach. Where joints are higher up, tell us about the building when you get in touch and we’ll confirm what access is needed. We work on copings & trims, joints between brick and frames and render & cladding joints, and the jobs we see most are moss and dirt in joints with no sealant left and old sealant gone brittle and cracked.
In a village or hamlet like Puttenham, 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.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.

How it works
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and clear up. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the building. For a village or hamlet like Puttenham, 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.
- Each joint is checked and the colour of the new sealant agreed.
- We take out the old sealant until the faces are sound.
- Backing rod goes in so the sealant can stretch between the two faces.
- Primer is applied wherever the sealant needs it.
- We gun in low-modulus sealant and tool it neatly.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Tell us if parking is tricky

Advice
Different surfaces, different methods
Copings and trims
Joints in copings, parapets and trims are exposed to the worst of the weather. Each is resealed with a weatherproof, flexible sealant.
Brickwork movement joints
People sometimes point up a brick movement joint by mistake. Where one has been mortared, we cut it out and reseal it with sealant where it can be done safely.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
If you manage several properties in or around Puttenham, several properties can go on one quote. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs, and photos by email help.

FAQs for Puttenham
Will you come out to Puttenham?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you cover Puttenham for external mastic?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Puttenham is part of that. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and let us know what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Can I do it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. If it doesn’t work out, we can redo it.
Do you use backing rod?
We fit closed-cell backing rod wherever the joint depth needs controlling. It controls the depth and stops the sealant bonding to the back, so the joint can move.
What sealant do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, picked for each joint. We will tell you what we’re using and why.
Do I need to be at home?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. Indoors, that normally means someone at home.
How long does external mastic take?
A typical job takes a few hours for a handful of joints, longer for a whole elevation, including preparation and clearing up. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
How often do external joints need resealing?
It varies with how exposed the wall is and how much the joint moves. Signs to watch for are cracking, hardening and gaps at the edges, and reseal at that point.
Do you need external mastic in Puttenham?
The wrong product in a moving joint is a classic cause. A high-modulus or general-purpose sealant can be too rigid for a busy joint, and it tears off the sides.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Moss and dirt in joints with no sealant left
- Joints where the bead has come unstuck
- Water getting into walls through failed joints
- Leaking joints around cladding and façade panels
If you look after a building such as Puttenham CofE Infant School, larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing.

DIY versus a professional finish
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
Outside joints around Puttenham
With historic houses such as Wanborough Manor (about 0.9 miles north-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Puttenham 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. Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St John the Baptist, old and new materials meet at the roofline and walls, which is where sealant earns its keep. For landlords with property near Wanborough station, outside joints that have cracked can let damp into a rental, so check them between lets.
