How we handle external mastic in Ware
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. We pick a colour that sits well with the wall so the joint doesn’t stand out. Typical jobs include gaps where render, brick and frames meet and movement joints with cracked, split or missing sealant, across render & cladding joints, concrete & block and copings & trims.
Outside joints can only be sealed when they’re dry, so work in Ware is booked around the forecast. Tell us about access to all sides of the building, including outbuildings and garages.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after we’ve gone.

How it works
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, protect the area around them, carry out the job and tidy away. Most jobs take a few hours to a few days, depending on the length of joint and the access. Somewhere like Ware needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We inspect the joints and agree which need resealing and how they’ll be reached.
- We cut out the failed sealant and rake out any dirt or growth.
- The joint faces are cleaned and primed where the sealant needs it.
- Closed-cell backing rod is fitted to set the depth and stop three-sided bonding.
- We gun in a flexible exterior sealant in a colour that suits the wall and tool it neatly.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

Aftercare tips
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Wash walls gently around the sealant
- Have failed joints looked at early
- Make sure movement joints aren’t pointed over
- Show decorators and builders where the movement joints are
Make sure anyone working on the wall later knows where the movement joints are. They must stay as flexible joints, never rendered or pointed over.
Act while the splits are small. At that stage it’s a simple cut out and reseal.
Questions from Ware
I let a flat near Minster station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Can you do external mastic in Ware?
Yes, Ware is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
What do you put in the joint?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we will explain our choice.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before resealing.
Do you work at height?
It depends on the height and the site. Ground-floor joints are simple; for higher work, tell us about the building and we’ll confirm what’s needed.
Can you match the colour of my brickwork?
There’s a good range of exterior colours, including greys, browns, whites and stone tones. We choose the closest to your brick or render.
Do I have to be there?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
When is the sealant fully cured?
Most sealants are touch-dry well before they’re fully cured. We will tell you how long to leave the joint before we leave.
Why act early in Ware
A low-modulus sealant is chosen because it moves without pulling hard at the edges. That matters on brick, render and concrete, which can be weaker at the face. Too stiff a sealant can pull at the edges and break them. Older cottages and farmhouses around Ware can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.
Why us?
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet
- Homes, businesses and hotels
- Approved under the ARBOMaster scheme
- We agree the colour with you first

Should I try it myself first?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
What external mastic looks like in Ware
Historic houses like Goodnestone Park (about 4.3 miles south-west) are a reminder that the area around Ware has older buildings as well as new. 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, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
Goodnestone Park, about 4.3 miles south-west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Ware, and older homes nearby need a sealant that suits their walls.

Common problems we fix in Ware
Many joints fail because they were sealed too deep or with nothing behind them. If the sealant sticks to the back as well as the sides, it can’t stretch and rips as the joint opens.
The problems people usually mention when they call include:
- Joints with sealant missing in places
- Leaking joints around cladding and façade panels
- Movement joints filled with mortar instead of sealant
- Hard, crazed mastic that has stopped moving
If you let a flat or house near Minster station, failed wall and movement joints let damp in, so they’re worth checking between tenancies.

- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
