About our external mastic in Upper Winchendon
We cut out failed sealant, set the joint depth with closed-cell backing rod and reseal with a low-modulus exterior sealant. We pick a colour that sits well with the wall. We work on render & cladding joints, façade panels and concrete & block, and the jobs we see most are sealant pulling away from one side of the joint and plants rooting in failed movement joints.
External sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work around Upper Winchendon is planned for dry weather. Let us know about access to every wall, plus any garages or outbuildings.
Every job is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Buckinghamshire.

What affects the cost of external mastic
The price is agreed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- Any working-time requirements on site
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- How easy the joints are to reach
- The number of rooms or windows
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You’ll know the price before we begin.
What to tell us for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- The rough size of the job
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Where the property is
To get a quote, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us where the job is and what the problem looks like. We will send you a clear quote before any work starts.
When it is not the sealant
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- Render that is blown, hollow or coming away
- Cracks in the bricks or render themselves, away from the joints
- Adding movement joints to masonry that has none
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will say what we think.
Where we work in Upper Winchendon

Leave it or put it right?
Sealing over the top of old mastic doesn’t hold for long. New sealant doesn’t bond well to old, weathered sealant, so the old joint is cut out fully first. Around Upper Winchendon, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

Signs you need external mastic in Upper Winchendon
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. The sealant in the movement joints takes that strain.
Look out for any of the following:
- Hard, crazed mastic that has stopped moving
- Leaking joints around cladding and façade panels
- Brick movement joints where the sealant has split
- Weeds or debris growing in open joints
Letting a property close to Aylesbury Vale Parkway station? Then failed wall and movement joints let damp in, so they’re worth checking between tenancies.

Walls and rooflines in Upper Winchendon
With historic houses such as Waddesdon Manor (about 1.6 miles north-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Upper Winchendon as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older walls and rooflines need a sealant that moves with them and suits the material. Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
Schools such as Waddesdon Church of England School are buildings too, and movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s. If you live in an older home near Parish Church of St Mary Magdalene, old and new materials meet at the roofline and walls, which is where sealant earns its keep.

Your questions about external mastic in Upper Winchendon
I let a flat near Aylesbury Vale Parkway station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before we start.
Do you cover smaller places like Upper Winchendon?
Yes. Upper Winchendon is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Is there any odour?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, but it fades. Ventilation helps.
Can you seal joints between render and window frames?
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.
Which products do you use?
It depends on the joint: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
What should I tell you?
Let us know what needs doing and where, plus pictures if you have them. We will ask anything else we need to know.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?

Aftercare tips
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Point out the joints to other trades
- Keep high-pressure jets off the joints
- Deal with leaking gutters that soak the joints below
- Check the sealant is paintable before painting near it
Only paint over the joint if we have confirmed the sealant can take paint. Paint can crack on a flexible joint and spoil the finish.
Act while the splits are small. At that stage it’s a simple cut out and reseal.
