How we handle external mastic in Wadwick
Failed sealant is cut out, the depth set with closed-cell backing rod, and the joint resealed with a low-modulus sealant made for outside. The colour is chosen to suit the brick or render so the line blends in. We work on render & cladding joints, joints between brick and frames and copings & trims, and people most often call us about rigid filler in a joint that should flex and panel joints letting water in.
Older homes in small places like Wadwick may be stone, brick or timber-framed, often with later extensions. Where one material meets another is where water generally gets in, and they need the right sealant at the right depth.
Our work is backed for twelve months.

Leave it or put it right?
Pointing a movement joint with mortar might seem a neat fix, but it locks the joint solid. The wall then cracks somewhere else. A flexible sealant over backing rod is what the joint needs. Around Wadwick, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Doing several joints on one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We’ll give you a clear quote for the lot.

The process
We keep the work tidy and contained to the joints we’re treating, so you can carry on as normal. Expect the work to take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the building, and we explain the cure time before we leave. For a village or hamlet like Wadwick, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- First, the joints are inspected and the access agreed.
- Every bit of old sealant and any mortar or debris is cut out.
- Joint faces are cleaned back and primed if the sealant needs it.
- We fit closed-cell backing rod to control the depth.
- The exterior sealant is applied, tooled and checked along its length.
Getting ready for the visit
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Clear the area around the work
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

What affects the quote in Wadwick
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- Any working-time requirements on site
- The type of sealant required
- How easy the joints are to reach
- How much there is to do
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.
Helping us quote
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Try to tell us:
- Whether it has been sealed before
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- A few photos by email, if you can
There’s no standard price list, because every job is different. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To get started, call 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Signs you need external mastic in Wadwick
The wrong product in a moving joint is a classic cause. A high-modulus or general-purpose sealant can be too rigid for a busy joint, and it tears off the sides.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Cracked joints where brick meets render or frames
- Moss and dirt in joints with no sealant left
- Sealant that has lost its bond to the brick or render
- Rigid filler in a joint that should flex
Historic houses such as Highclere Castle, about 3.8 miles north, show how far back building around Wadwick goes, and older homes nearby need a sealant that suits their walls.

Wadwick buildings and the weather
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. With historic houses such as Highclere Castle (about 3.8 miles north) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Wadwick as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older brick and stone need a sealant that suits them, at the right joint depth.

Aftercare tips
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Look over the joints every year, ideally after winter
- Make sure movement joints aren’t pointed over
- Don’t let climbing plants root in the sealant
- Keep water from gutters off the wall
Give the sealant the cure time we tell you before anything rubs against it. The surface skins over quickly, but full cure takes longer.
An open movement joint lets rain into the wall every time it pours. Over time it can mean damp inside, stained render or frost-damaged brick which cost more to put right than the joint.
Different surfaces, different methods
Joints between dissimilar materials
Wherever two materials meet, they move differently. We seal the joint with a flexible exterior sealant so neither cracks the other.
Cladding and façade panels
Panels heat up and cool down quickly, so the joints work hard every day. The sealant is chosen with that in mind.
Wadwick: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Wadwick?
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 Whitchurch (Hampshire) station?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
What information do you need?
Let us know what needs doing and where, plus pictures if you have them. If we need more, we’ll ask.
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.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We’re ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
What sealant do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, chosen to suit the joint. We’ll tell you what we are using and why.
Does someone need to be in?
We need access to the joints, so we’ll agree that with you when we book. Indoors, that normally means someone at home.
Can I do it myself?
That depends on the joint. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
When it isn’t the sealant
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:
- Failed render or damaged cladding panels
- Adding movement joints to masonry that has none
- Cracking across the wall rather than at a joint
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will say what we think before booking.
