External mastic in Wavendon, done properly
Joints in render and cladding are easy to overlook until a damp patch appears. We inspect them, agree which need doing and reseal with a weatherproof, flexible sealant in a matching colour. We work on copings & trims, façade panels and concrete & block, and common reasons people get in touch are rain getting behind render or cladding at a joint and brick movement joints where the sealant has split.
Around Wavendon, older buildings can be stone, brick or timber-framed, many with extensions added later. Where one material meets another is where water generally gets in.
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee.

How the visit works
At the end, we look at the finished work together. The work normally takes a few hours for a handful of joints, longer for a whole elevation, depending on how much there is to do. Somewhere like Wavendon needs a little journey planning: 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.
- 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.
- The faces are brushed clean and primed where the product requires it.
- Backing rod sized to the joint goes in to set the depth.
- We apply the sealant, tool it and check the whole run.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

What we can’t put right
In fairness, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- Structural movement, which needs a surveyor or engineer
- Walls that need new movement joints cut into them
- Cracking across the wall rather than at a joint
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will tell you honestly before booking.

What affects the quote in Wavendon
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Any working-time requirements on site
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
What to tell us for a quote

Walls and rooflines in Wavendon
Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day. Historic houses like Bletchley Park (about 3.5 miles south-west) are a reminder that the area around Wavendon 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.
If you let a flat or house near Woburn Sands station, split movement joints are easy to miss on a rental until damp shows inside. If you look after a building such as St Mary's Wavendon CofE Primary, larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Mary, old and new materials meet at the roofline and walls, which is where sealant earns its keep.

Questions from Wavendon
I let a flat near Woburn Sands station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear price.
Can you do external mastic in Wavendon?
Yes, Wavendon is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.
How long does external mastic last?
It varies with how exposed the wall is and how much the joint moves. Signs to watch for are cracking, hardening and gaps at the edges and have them redone then.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Is there any odour?
That depends on the sealant. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all.
What does external mastic cost?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Call for a quick quote.
What is backing rod for?
That’s backing rod, a closed-cell foam. It keeps the sealant at the right depth and bonded to the sides only.
Does someone need to be in?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Keeping the joints in good condition
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Do not let climbing plants root in the sealant
- Wash walls gently around the sealant
- Walk round the building once a year and look at the joints
- Make sure movement joints are not pointed over
If you have more work done on the wall, such as new render, cladding or an opening, show the contractor the movement joints. They must stay as flexible joints, never rendered or pointed over.
Water getting behind cladding or render can go unnoticed for a long time. When it finally shows inside, the joint may have been open for years so early resealing is worth it.
Why act early in Wavendon
Water gets in through a failed movement joint. Dealing with it early keeps the repair to the joint, instead of the wall and finishes around it. Around Wavendon, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.
