External mastic in Welham Green, done properly
For buildings in Welham Green, we reseal external joints of all kinds, from brick movement joints to cladding panels. Every joint gets the same careful preparation: clean, sound faces and a controlled depth. We work on joints between brick and frames, render & cladding joints and copings & trims, and people most often call us about weathered mastic that no longer stretches and water getting into walls through failed joints.
Houses in smaller places like Welham Green can stand more in the open than those in a built-up town, so exposed walls and rooflines take more wind-driven rain. Joints on those sides are generally the first to go.
Big or small, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee.

What happens on the day
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. We protect the surfaces around the joints before we start. The work usually takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the building. In a smaller place like Welham Green, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- First, the joints are inspected and the access agreed.
- We cut out the old mastic and rake out anything in the joint.
- The faces are brushed clean and primed where the product requires it.
- Backing rod sized to the joint goes in to set the depth.
- The exterior sealant is applied, tooled and checked along its length.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

Advice
Landlords, agents and businesses in Welham Green
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Hotels need rooms back in use, so we plan the work room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
Why deal with it now?
A properly done movement joint is an even line in a colour that suits the wall. A hurried job with smeared edges and no backing looks worse and fails sooner. Around Welham Green, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, and that is a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
Combining jobs into one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.
Why us?
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet
- A 12-month guarantee on all work
- You choose the colour before work begins
- A sealant colour to suit the surroundings

How the job changes by surface
Brickwork movement joints
Vertical joints in long brick walls let the brickwork expand without cracking. We reseal them with a low-modulus sealant over backing rod coloured to suit the wall.
Joints between dissimilar materials
Where a frame or panel meets masonry, water often finds a way in. The old joint is removed and a sealant that bonds to both sides goes in.
Should I try it myself first?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Common questions in Welham Green
I let a flat near Welham Green station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before we start.
Should the sealant in an older Welham Green home be renewed?
Generally, yes, if it’s cracked, shrunk, mouldy or coming away. The key is cutting all the old sealant out, as new sealant won’t bond to it.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint.
Do you seal joints where cladding meets other materials?
Yes. Where different materials meet is one of the most common joints we seal. The sealant is chosen to bond to both sides with primer where required.
Can you reach joints on upper floors?
It depends on the building. Send us pictures and a rough idea of the height.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Tell us what needs doing and where, with pictures by email if possible. We’ll ask anything else we need to know.
What do you put in the joint?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, chosen to suit the joint. We explain the product when we quote.
How much does external mastic cost in Welham Green?

Aftercare tips
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Walk round the building once a year and look at the joints
- Keep soil, plants and ivy away from the joints
- Keep high-pressure jets off the joints
- Show decorators and builders where the movement joints are
Follow the cure time we give you before the joint is knocked or disturbed. Most exterior sealants skin fast but take longer to cure right through.
Small splits are the time to act. Then it’s a straightforward cut-out and reseal with no damage behind it to deal with.
External mastic in Welham Green: local notes
Hatfield, which Welham Green is part of, is one of England’s post-war new towns. Homes here were built in phases, many of them in the post-war decades, so neighbouring houses often have rooflines and wall joints of the same age, wearing out at the same time. With historic houses such as Hatfield House (about 1.8 miles north) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Welham Green as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older brick and stone need a sealant that suits them, at the right joint depth.
Letting a property close to Welham Green station? Then outside joints that have cracked can let damp into a rental, so check them between lets. If you look after a building such as St Mary's Church of England Primary School, larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing. If you live in an older home near Church of St Mary the Virgin, old and new materials meet at the roofline and walls, which is where sealant earns its keep.
