Warborough External Mastic
Problem with your movement joints in Warborough? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly, with a one-year guarantee.
- Old sealant gone brittle and cracked
- Panel joints letting water in
- Plants rooting in failed movement joints
Leave it or put it right?
An open joint keeps letting water into the wall with every downpour. Wet masonry is more easily damaged by frost, so the problem grows beyond the joint itself. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Warborough, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You’ll know the price before we begin.

External mastic in Warborough, done properly
Joints between dissimilar materials, like brick against render or concrete against a steel frame, see movement from both sides. A flexible sealant bridges the two where a rigid filler would soon crack. If you’re dealing with sealant that has lost its bond to the brick or render and moss and dirt in joints with no sealant left, we can help, on concrete & block, joints between brick and frames and brickwork movement joints alike.
Somewhere as small as Warborough, homes and farm buildings often face open ground, so walls and rooflines take the full force of wind and rain. Gutter joints and wall joints there need a sealant that can flex and stay put.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee.

What we do, step by step
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins. The work normally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the building. In a small place like Warborough, access is generally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We inspect the joints and agree which need resealing and how they’ll be reached.
- Old sealant and any debris are cut and raked out.
- The joint faces are cleaned and primed where the sealant needs it.
- Backing rod goes in next, setting the depth and keeping the sealant off the back of the joint.
- A flexible exterior sealant is applied and tooled in a colour to suit the wall.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

Advice
Warborough: your questions answered
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Culham station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Warborough?
Yes. Warborough is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we are part of it.
What’s an expansion joint in brickwork?
Most straight vertical gaps in brickwork are movement joints. It lets the bricks expand without cracking.
Can you seal joints between two different materials?
Yes. Materials like render, brick, metal and uPVC all move differently, so the joint between them must be flexible. The sealant is matched to both sides.
Does someone need to be in?
We need access to the joints, so we’ll agree that with you when we book. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.
What is backing rod for?
Closed-cell backing rod sets the depth of the sealant and stops it sticking to the back of the joint. Then the sealant bonds to two faces and can move.
What external mastic looks like in Warborough
With historic houses such as Brightwell Manor (about 2.2 miles south-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Warborough as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older walls and rooflines need a sealant that moves with them and suits the material. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
In the older streets around Church of St Lawrence, old and new materials meet at the roofline and walls, which is where sealant earns its keep. Letting a property close to Culham station? Then outside joints that have cracked can let damp into a rental, so check them between lets.

What we are called out for in Warborough
Joints sealed without backing rod, or far too deep, rarely last. If the sealant sticks to the back as well as the sides, it cannot stretch and tears as soon as the joint widens.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Weeds or debris growing in open joints
- Water getting into walls through failed joints
- Sealant that has lost its bond to the brick or render
- Hard, crazed mastic that has stopped moving
Managing a site like St Laurence Church of England (A) School? Then larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing.

Can I do it myself?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Leave the joints unpainted unless we’ve said otherwise
- Wash walls gently around the sealant
- Show decorators and builders where the movement joints are
- Never let anyone fill a movement joint with mortar
Have a quick look at the joints each spring. Splits, gaps at the edges or plants in the joint are early warning signs.
If you can see gaps, plants or bare sections in a joint, have it checked. Earlier resealing means a smaller job and a better result.
