External mastic for homes and businesses in Richings Park
Joints between dissimilar materials, like brick against render or concrete against a steel frame, see movement from both sides. A flexible sealant bridges the two. We work on brickwork movement joints, façade panels and concrete & block, and common reasons people get in touch are moss and dirt in joints with no sealant left and joints with sealant missing in places.
Somewhere as small as Richings Park, homes and farm buildings often face open ground, where walls and rooflines take the weather head on. Gutter joints and wall joints there need a sealant that can flex and stay put.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

Surface by surface
Render joints
Render has movement joints and stop beads that need sealing. We reseal them with a flexible exterior sealant that suits the render colour.
Joints between dissimilar materials
Where a frame or panel meets masonry, water often finds a way in. We cut out the old sealant and reseal with a product suited to both surfaces.
What external mastic looks like in Richings Park
Historic houses like Frogmore House (about 4.2 miles south-west) are a reminder that the area around Richings Park has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, 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.
Rented homes near Iver station change hands often, and failed wall and movement joints let damp in, so they’re worth checking between tenancies. If you look after a building such as The Langley Heritage Primary, movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s. In the older streets around St. Leonard's, the joints between older walls, newer extensions and the roofline need a sealant that can move.

How the visit works

The work normally takes a few hours for a handful of joints, longer for a whole elevation, depending on the amount of work. Somewhere as small as Richings Park, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- Each joint is checked and the colour of the new sealant agreed.
- Failed sealant is removed back to clean, sound faces.
- Closed-cell backing rod is pushed in so the sealant bonds to two sides only.
- We prime the faces where required.
- A low-modulus exterior sealant is gunned in and tooled to a neat finish.

Advice
Can I do it myself?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, 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.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.

Honest limits
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Adding movement joints to masonry that has none
- Loose or hollow render, which needs re-rendering
- Damp that isn’t coming from the joint
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Can you seal joints between two different materials?
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 hold any approvals?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status and we are fully insured too.
What is a movement joint?
Most straight vertical gaps in brickwork are movement joints. It lets the bricks expand without cracking, and it should be sealed with a flexible sealant.
What is backing rod for?
That is backing rod, a closed-cell foam. It keeps the sealant at the right depth and bonded to the sides only, which would stop it stretching.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. We have worked for hotels, offices and other businesses.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Check the sealant is paintable before painting near it
- Wash walls gently around the sealant
- Show decorators and builders where the movement joints are
- Never let anyone fill a movement joint with mortar
If you have more work done on the wall, such as new render, cladding or an opening, show the contractor the movement joints. They must stay as flexible joints, never rendered or pointed over.
A joint that has stopped moving pushes the movement elsewhere, often as cracks near the joint. Catch it early and you reduce the risk.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
