About our external mastic in Quarrendon Estate
Ground-floor and low-level joints are straightforward to reach. For joints higher up, give us some details of the building and we will confirm what access is needed. We work on brickwork movement joints, joints between brick and frames and copings & trims, and people most often call us about sealant pulling away from one side of the joint and cracked joints where brick meets render or frames.
Outbuildings, garages and conservatories around homes in places like Quarrendon Estate add more joints to look after. Gutter ends, garage door frames and the joints where an extension meets the house are typical spots for leaks.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you are not left on your own once the job is done.

When to call us in Quarrendon Estate
Using the wrong sealant is another common reason. A high-modulus or general-purpose sealant can be too rigid for a busy joint, so it pulls away from the edges.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Old sealant gone brittle and cracked
- Rigid filler in a joint that should flex
- Movement joints with cracked, split or missing sealant
- Sealant that has lost its bond to the brick or render
If you let a flat or house near Aylesbury station, outside joints that have cracked can let damp into a rental, so check them between lets.

External mastic in Quarrendon Estate: local notes
With historic houses such as Waddesdon Manor (about 4.8 miles west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Quarrendon Estate as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older walls and rooflines need a sealant that moves with them and suits the material. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
In the older streets around St Peter's, the joints between older walls, newer extensions and the roofline need a sealant that can move.

Yes. Quarrendon Estate is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, every time. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Is there any odour?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures. Ventilation helps.
What is backing rod for?
Closed-cell backing rod sets the depth of the sealant and stops it sticking to the back of the joint. That way it bonds to the two sides only and can stretch.
When will the joints need doing again?
That depends on the wall, the weather and the movement. Look for splits, hardening or edges coming away, and reseal at that point.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, and it traps any mould or water underneath. It all has to come out first.
Is it messy?
Tidy work is part of the job. Nearby surfaces are protected, and the area is left clean when we finish.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order.
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.

How to look after the new joints
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Clear growth from the base of walls and joints
- Keep high-pressure jets off the joints
- Ask before painting over external sealant
- Fix overflowing gutters above sealed joints
Keep the joints clear of soil, plants and climbing growth. Damp material against the sealant shortens its life.
A joint that has stopped moving pushes the movement elsewhere, often as cracks near the joint. Catch it early and you reduce the risk.
Surface by surface
Copings and trims
Coping joints that leak let water straight down into the wall. Sealing them early saves the wall below.
Render joints
The face of render can be soft, so a sealant that stretches easily protects the edges. Priming is done where the sealant calls for it.
What affects the cost of external mastic
For a quick quote, just ask. The main things that affect it are:
- The number and length of the joints
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- The old material and how stubborn it is
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
What we need to know
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- Where the property is
- How we’d reach the joints
- If someone has resealed it before
- The problem you’ve noticed
For external mastic in Quarrendon Estate, call 0345 464 0079 or email us. Tell us what the problem is and where, and we’ll agree the price before any work begins.
How it works
We bring everything the job needs with us. Once we’ve agreed what’s being done, we protect the area and start. Most jobs take a few hours for a handful of joints, longer for a whole elevation. In a smaller place like Quarrendon Estate, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- We look at every joint and agree a colour to suit the wall.
- 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.
- A low-modulus exterior sealant is gunned in and tooled to a neat finish.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Mention any tricky access
How to get a quote

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
