External mastic in Tatling End
Movement joints let brickwork, render and cladding expand and shrink without cracking. The sealant in it has to stretch and squeeze for years, so once it splits or hardens, the joint stops working and water gets in. If you are dealing with movement joints with cracked, split or missing sealant and failed sealant between panels on a façade, we can help.
External sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work around Tatling End is planned for dry weather. Tell us about access to all sides of the building, including outbuildings and garages.
Our work is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

The process
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. The work normally takes a few hours to a few days, depending on the length of joint and the access. Somewhere as small as Tatling End, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We look at every joint and agree a colour to suit the wall.
- 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.
- We gun in low-modulus sealant and tool it neatly.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

External mastic in Tatling End: local notes
With historic houses such as Ickenham Hall (about 4 miles east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Tatling End as well as newer homes. 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, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
Letting a property close to Denham Golf Club station? Then outside joints that have cracked can let damp into a rental, so check them between lets. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as The Gerrards Cross CofE School, its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s.

Leave it or put it right?
A failed movement joint lets water into the wall and can run behind render or cladding. Resealing early keeps the job to the joint itself, rather than the wall around it. In a small place like Tatling End, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Combining jobs into one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We’ll give you a clear price for the lot.

Surface by surface
Brickwork movement joints
Brick walls have vertical movement joints to absorb expansion. They’re resealed over backing rod with a low-modulus sealant coloured to suit the wall.
Render joints
Rendered walls have joints at beads, openings and changes of material. They’re resealed in a sealant that suits the render.
Do you need external mastic in Tatling End?
Poor preparation causes many early failures: dusty or wet faces, no primer where one was needed, or old sealant left in. The sealant never bonds properly.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Water getting into walls through failed joints
- Weeds or debris growing in open joints
- Sealant that has lost its bond to the brick or render
- Brick movement joints where the sealant has split
For an older house near a landmark such as St James Church, an extension built onto an older house moves differently, and the joint between them takes the strain.
