About our external mastic in Touchen-end
Low-level joints can normally be done from the ground. Where joints are higher up, tell us about the building when you get in touch and we’ll confirm what access is needed. Common call-outs are for cracked joints where brick meets render or frames and panel joints letting water in, across copings & trims, concrete & block and brickwork movement joints.
Somewhere as small as Touchen-end, homes and farm buildings often face open ground, where walls and rooflines take the weather head on. Joints on those walls need a sealant that moves with the building and stays in place.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Never let anyone fill a movement joint with mortar
- Do not let climbing plants root in the sealant
- Have failed joints looked at early
- Point out the joints to other trades
Have a quick look at the joints each spring. Watch for splits, edges coming away or growth in the joint.
Gaps, plants or missing sealant in a joint are worth getting looked at. Earlier resealing means a smaller job and a better result.

Outside joints around Touchen-end
London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind. Historic houses like Dorney Court (about 2.9 miles north-east) are a reminder that the area around Touchen-end has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older brick and stone need a sealant that suits them, at the right joint depth.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Holyport College, movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s. Dorney Court, about 2.9 miles north-east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Touchen-end, and older homes nearby need a sealant that suits their walls.

How the job changes by surface
Cladding and façade panels
Cladding and façade panels are normally separated by sealed joints. We reseal them with a sealant suited to the panel material.
Concrete and blockwork
The face of concrete or block is often dusty, so cleaning and priming matter. We prime where the sealant needs it.

Common questions in Touchen-end
Will you come out to Touchen-end?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.

Yes, Touchen-end is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Is it OK to fill a movement joint with cement?
No. Cement or mortar can’t stretch, so the joint stops doing its job. Where a joint has been mortared, it can often be raked out and sealed properly.
What does external mastic cost?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Call for a quick quote.
Can you seal joints between render and window frames?
Yes. Materials like render, brick, metal and uPVC all move differently, so a flexible sealant is needed where they meet. The sealant is matched to both sides.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. We have worked for hotels, offices and other businesses, and we are fully insured.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Do the sealants smell?
Possibly a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Should I try it myself first?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.

Related advice
When to call us in Touchen-end
Poor preparation causes many early failures: joint faces that were dusty or damp, unprimed where they needed it, or still carrying old sealant. The new sealant then lets go long before it should.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Joints pointed up with cement by mistake
- Sealant pulling away from one side of the joint
- Panel joints letting water in
- Cracked joints where brick meets render or frames
Rented homes near Maidenhead station change hands often, and failed wall and movement joints let damp in, so they’re worth checking between tenancies.
