DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
External mastic in The Village, done properly
We’re ARBOMaster approved applicators, and each external joint gets a sealant suited to it. Some surfaces need a primer before sealing. If you’re dealing with weeds or debris growing in open joints and weathered mastic that no longer stretches, we can put it right, on façade panels, brickwork movement joints and joints between brick and frames alike.
Around The Village, older buildings can be stone, brick or timber-framed, many with extensions added later. The joints where those materials meet are the weak points.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, whatever its size.

How the job changes by surface
Joints between dissimilar materials
Wherever two materials meet, they move differently. A flexible sealant bridges the two.
Concrete and blockwork
Concrete faces can be dusty and porous, so cleaning and priming matter. A primer goes on where the product requires one.
What sealant work cannot fix
To be straight with you, some problems need a different trade:
- Walls that need new movement joints cut into them
- Loose or hollow render, which needs re-rendering
- Damp from another source, such as a leaking gutter or a bridged damp-proof course
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will tell you honestly before booking.

What happens on the day
Our applicators work methodically: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. For most jobs that takes a few hours to a few days, depending on the length of joint and the access, and the area is left clean. In a small place like The Village, access is generally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- Each joint is checked and the colour of the new sealant agreed.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

Advice
What affects the cost of external mastic
Your quote is based on your job. We look at:
- Working hours on commercial sites

- The old material and how stubborn it is

What we need to know
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
- The problem you’ve noticed
- How we’d reach the joints
- If someone has resealed it before

Signs you need external mastic in The Village
Many joints fail because they were sealed too deep or with nothing behind them. Sealant bonded to three sides has nowhere to go and tears as soon as the joint widens.
Look out for any of the following:
- Brick movement joints where the sealant has split
- Moss and dirt in joints with no sealant left
- Rigid filler in a joint that should flex
- Joints where the bead has come unstuck
If you let a flat or house near Windsor & Eton Central station, failed wall and movement joints let damp in, so they’re worth checking between tenancies.

Walls and rooflines in The Village
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind. Historic houses like St Leonard's Hill (about 1.7 miles north) are a reminder that the area around The Village 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.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Windsor Girls' School, larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing. Historic houses such as St Leonard's Hill, about 1.7 miles north, show how far back building around The Village goes, and older homes nearby need a sealant that suits their walls.

The Village: your questions answered
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Windsor & Eton Central 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 will give you a clear price.
Is The Village within the area you cover?
Yes, The Village is covered. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can you match the colour of my brickwork?
There’s a good range of exterior colours, including greys, browns, whites and stone tones. We choose the closest to your brick or render so the joint doesn’t draw the eye.
How long does the job take?
As a guide, most jobs take a few hours for a handful of joints, longer for a whole elevation. Larger jobs naturally take longer, and we’ll tell you how long to expect.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything is not right with the work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.
What does external mastic cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. You’ll get a clear quote before we start.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Do you seal joints where cladding meets other materials?
Yes. The old joint is removed, both surfaces cleaned and primed where needed, and a flexible sealant applied. We pick a colour that works with both materials.
