External mastic in Twyford, done properly
Movement joints let brickwork, render and cladding expand and shrink without cracking. The sealant in it has to stretch and squeeze for years, and when it fails, the wall takes the strain and water finds a way in. If you’re dealing with gaps where render, brick and frames meet and leaking joints around cladding and façade panels, we can help.
External sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work around Twyford is planned for dry weather. Tell us about access to all sides of the building, including outbuildings and garages.
A 12-month guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Should I try it myself first?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Why deal with it now?
Mortar or ordinary filler might look like a quick way to close an open joint, but it locks the joint solid. The movement then cracks the brickwork or render nearby. A flexible sealant over backing rod is what the joint needs. Around Twyford, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask a few questions first.

Keeping the joints in good condition
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Have failed joints looked at early
- Fix overflowing gutters above sealed joints
- Keep high-pressure jets off the joints
- Point out the joints to other trades
Keep the joints clear of soil, plants and climbing growth. Damp material against the sealant shortens its life.
Water getting behind cladding or render can go unnoticed for a long time. By the time there’s a damp patch, the damage can be well established, so it’s worth resealing at the first signs.

Walls and rooflines in Twyford
With historic houses such as Claydon House (about 3.5 miles east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Twyford as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older brick and stone need a sealant that suits them, at the right joint depth. London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Twyford C of E School, movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s.

Different surfaces, different methods
Copings and trims
Coping and trim joints face rain and sun head on. We reseal them with an exterior sealant suited to the material.
Concrete and blockwork
Blockwork and concrete shrink over time and move with the seasons. We reseal their joints with backing rod and a flexible product.
Common problems we fix in Twyford
Buildings move more than people expect. Brickwork grows a little over the years, blockwork and concrete shrink, and all of it moves with heat and moisture. All of that ends up in the joint sealant.
The problems people usually mention when they call include:
- Brick movement joints where the sealant has split
- Panel joints letting water in
- Rigid filler in a joint that should flex
- Cracked joints where brick meets render or frames
Claydon House, about 3.5 miles east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Twyford, and older homes nearby need a sealant that suits their walls.
