External mastic in Rush Green, done properly
For buildings in Rush Green, we reseal external joints of all kinds, from brick movement joints to cladding panels. Every joint gets the same careful preparation: clean, sound faces and a controlled depth. We work on concrete & block, copings & trims and façade panels, and the jobs we see most are gaps where render, brick and frames meet and panel joints letting water in.
Around Rush Green, older buildings can be stone, brick or timber-framed, many with extensions added later. The joints where those materials meet are the weak points, and they need the right sealant at the right depth.
All our work is covered by a 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Buckinghamshire.

Signs you need external mastic in Rush Green
A lot of failed joints come down to preparation: dusty or wet faces, no primer where one was needed, or old sealant left in. The new sealant then lets go long before it should.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Panel joints letting water in
- Rain getting behind render or cladding at a joint
- Old sealant gone brittle and cracked
- Cracked joints where brick meets render or frames

Questions to ask before you book
- What guarantee comes with the work
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- Whether they’re fully insured
- What product goes in the joint
DIY versus a professional finish
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
FAQs for Rush Green
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Denham Golf Club station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Is Rush Green within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Is there any odour?
Possibly a little. It fades as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
How much does external mastic cost in Rush Green?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. To get one, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a short description of the job.
Are you insured?
Yes. We are fully insured.
What colours does the sealant come in?
There’s a good range of exterior colours, including greys, browns, whites and stone tones. We choose the closest to your brick or render.
Why is there a gap in my brick wall?
Walls move with heat, cold and moisture, and planned joints take up that movement. It’s closed with backing rod and a flexible sealant.
Why it’s worth doing now in Rush Green
It often makes sense to reseal all the failing joints on an elevation together. Joints of the same age tend to fail together, and access only has to be arranged once. Older cottages and farmhouses around Rush Green can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You will know the price before we begin.
Why book with us
- Colour picked to suit the job
- Neat joints and a tidy finish
- Homes, businesses and hotels
- White, clear, grey or coloured to suit, where the product allows

What external mastic looks like in Rush Green
Historic houses like Ickenham Hall (about 3.2 miles east) are a reminder that the area around Rush Green has older buildings as well as new. 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, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
In the older streets around St Francis, an extension built onto an older house moves differently, and the joint between them takes the strain. Schools such as Denham Village School are buildings too, and movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s.

What else we do in Rush Green
Looking after it afterwards
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Check the sealant is paintable before painting near it
- Do not let climbing plants root in the sealant
- Show decorators and builders where the movement joints are
- Fix overflowing gutters above sealed joints
Only paint over the joint if we’ve confirmed the sealant can take paint. Paint can crack on a flexible joint, and paint can crack as the joint moves.
Once a joint cannot move, the wall finds another way, normally as cracking in the brickwork or render nearby. Resealing it early helps prevent that.
