Terriers buildings and the weather
Historic houses like Hughenden Manor (about 1.1 miles north-west) are a reminder that the area around Terriers 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. Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
For landlords with property near High Wycombe station, split movement joints are easy to miss on a rental until damp shows inside. In the older streets around Church of Saint Francis, older walls, gutters and the joints where extensions meet them need a flexible sealant.

What else we do in Terriers
What we are called out for in Terriers
Weeds, moss and debris in a joint are a sign the sealant has gone. Dirt and roots then trap moisture in the joint.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Plants rooting in failed movement joints
- Damp patches traced to an open external joint
- Failed sealant between panels on a façade
- Sealant that has lost its bond to the brick or render
If you look after a building such as The Royal Grammar School, its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s.
What your quote should include
- How long to leave it before use
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- How much experience the applicator has
- How long the guarantee is
How we quote for external mastic

The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- The type of property
- A few photos by email, if you can
- The problem you’ve noticed

Landlord and commercial work in Terriers
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. We can quote for more than one property at once.
Looking after it afterwards
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Get split or bare joints resealed while the damage is small
- Keep movement joints as flexible joints, not mortar
- Clear growth from the base of walls and joints
- Fix overflowing gutters above sealed joints
Follow the cure time we give you before the joint is knocked or disturbed. Most exterior sealants skin fast but take longer to cure right through.
A joint that has stopped moving pushes the movement elsewhere, often as cracks near the joint. Resealing it early helps prevent that.
What sealant work can’t fix
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- Walls that need new movement joints cut into them
- Damp from another source, such as a leaking gutter or a bridged damp-proof course
- Structural movement, which needs a surveyor or engineer
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will say what we think before you book.

Should I try it myself 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.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
Terriers questions
Is Terriers 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.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near High Wycombe station?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Do you work at height?
Each building is different. Send us pictures and a rough idea of the height and we will confirm how they can be reached safely.
Do I need to be at home?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
How long will you be here?
Most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the building, including preparation and clearing up. We will confirm how long when we quote.
How long should I leave it?
That depends on the sealant used, so follow the cure time we give you.
Should I point up the gap in my brickwork?
No. Rigid materials cannot move with the wall and the joint fails. If it has already been filled, we can usually cut it out and reseal it.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes, we can. More than one area can go on one quote.
How the visit works
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Show us the job and we’ll take it from there. The work itself takes a few hours for a handful of joints, longer for a whole elevation, including the tidy-up. In a smaller place like Terriers, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- We start by walking round the building and agreeing the joints and the access.
- We cut out the old mastic and rake out anything in the joint.
- Joint faces are cleaned back and primed if the sealant needs it.
- Backing rod sized to the joint goes in to set the depth.
- We apply the sealant, tool it and check the whole run.
Getting ready for the visit
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
