About our external mastic in Weston
Many failed façade joints only get noticed once there’s a stain or a damp patch inside. We look over the joints, agree the ones to renew and reseal with a flexible, weatherproof product in a matching colour. If you have rigid filler in a joint that should flex and rain getting behind render or cladding at a joint, we can put it right, on render & cladding joints, concrete & block and façade panels alike.
External sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work around Weston is planned for dry weather. Let us know about access to every wall, plus any garages or outbuildings.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Hertfordshire.

Outside joints around Weston
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
Letting a property close to Baldock station? Then outside joints that have cracked can let damp into a rental, so check them between lets. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Weston Primary School, movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of the Holy Trinity, old and new materials meet at the roofline and walls, which is where sealant earns its keep.

Aftercare tips
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Show decorators and builders where the movement joints are
- Do not let climbing plants root in the sealant
- Walk round the building once a year and look at the joints
- Make sure movement joints aren’t pointed over
Keep pressure washers away from the sealant. High-pressure water can lift the edges over time.
A joint that has stopped moving pushes the movement elsewhere, generally as cracking in the brickwork or render nearby. Resealing it early helps prevent that.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Weston, several properties can go on one quote. Send us the addresses and the work at each.
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
Why act early in Weston
A failed movement joint lets water into the wall and can run behind render or cladding. Dealing with it early keeps the repair to the joint, rather than the wall around it. In a small place like Weston, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are unsure, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you an honest view and a quote.

Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, and we never do. It may look fine at first, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
Will the new joint stand out?
The sealant colour is picked to suit the wall. There’s a wide choice of exterior colours.
Do I need to be at home?
That depends on where the joints are. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in.
How often do external joints need resealing?
It depends on the exposure, the movement and the product. Treat it as a maintenance item and look at it yearly.
What is a movement joint?
It’s a deliberate gap that lets the wall expand and contract without cracking. It should be filled with flexible sealant, never mortar.
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. That way it bonds to the two sides only and can stretch.
Surface by surface
Joints between dissimilar materials
Each side of the joint may need its own preparation. Both surfaces are cleaned and primed as the product requires.
Copings and trims
Copings expand and contract through the day, so a flexible sealant suits them best in all weathers.
