Waterend: your questions answered
Do you cover Waterend for external mastic?
Yes, Waterend is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
I let a flat near Saunderton station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Where are you based?
We work from Crawley. We cover Waterend and the rest of Buckinghamshire.
How long does external mastic take?
Most jobs take a few hours to a few days, depending on the length of joint and the access, including the preparation. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Sometimes. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes. All our work carries our one-year guarantee.
Is it OK to fill a movement joint with cement?
No. A mortar-filled joint cannot move, so the wall cracks somewhere else instead. Use a flexible sealant with backing rod.
Does someone need to be in?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. Indoors, that normally means someone at home.
How we handle external mastic in Waterend
For buildings in Waterend, we reseal external joints of all kinds, from brick movement joints to cladding panels. Every joint gets the same careful preparation: clean joint faces and the right depth. Typical jobs include failed seals between different materials and movement joints with cracked, split or missing sealant, across concrete & block, joints between brick and frames and façade panels.
Older homes in small places like Waterend may be stone, brick or timber-framed, often with later extensions. Where one material meets another is where water normally gets in.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

When to call us in Waterend
Joints sealed without backing rod, or far too deep, rarely last. Sealant bonded to three sides has nowhere to go and rips as the joint opens.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Panel joints letting water in
- Movement joints filled with mortar instead of sealant
- Water getting into walls through failed joints
- Weeds or debris growing in open joints
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Mary, older walls, gutters and the joints where extensions meet them need a flexible sealant.
Questions to ask before booking
- The length of the guarantee
- How hidden problems are handled
- Are they insured?
- When the joint can take water or movement
What the job involves on each surface
Render joints
Rendered walls have joints at beads, openings and changes of material. We reseal them with a flexible exterior sealant that suits the render colour.
Joints between dissimilar materials
Wherever two materials meet, they move differently. We seal the joint with a flexible exterior sealant so the movement is taken up.
External mastic in Waterend: local notes
With historic houses such as West Wycombe Park House (about 3.1 miles east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Waterend 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. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
If you look after a building such as Radnage Church of England Primary School, larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing. If you let a flat or house near Saunderton station, split movement joints are easy to miss on a rental until damp shows inside.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
What sealant work cannot fix
In fairness, some problems need a different trade:
- Damp that is not coming from the joint
- Subsidence or other structural problems
- Adding movement joints to masonry that has none
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we seal
- Render & cladding joints
- Copings & trims
- Joints between brick and frames
- Concrete & block
- Brickwork movement joints
- Façade panels
What happens if it’s left?
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. Around Waterend, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You will know the price before we begin.

What happens on the day
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we do not rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it normally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the building. In a small place like Waterend, access is normally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We start by walking round the building and agreeing the joints and the access.
- 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.
- We apply the sealant, tool it and check the whole run.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
