External & façade joints in Weston Underwood, Milton Keynes

- Gaps where render, brick and frames meet
- Damp patches traced to an open external joint
- Rigid filler in a joint that should flex
Can I do it myself?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
External mastic for homes and businesses in Weston Underwood
As ARBOMaster approved applicators, we choose exterior sealants to suit the joint and the surfaces. Some surfaces need a primer before sealing, and we do not skip that step. If you have brick movement joints where the sealant has split and moss and dirt in joints with no sealant left, we can help.
In a village or hamlet like Weston Underwood, older cottages and farm buildings often stand in the open, where walls and rooflines take the weather head on. Gutter joints and wall joints there need a sealant that can flex and stay put.
You get a 12-month guarantee, the same in Weston Underwood as everywhere else we work.

What affects the cost of external mastic
The price is agreed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- Whether the work is at height
- The amount of work
- The product the joint needs
- Mould in or behind the old joints
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’ll explain the quote if you ask.
What to tell us for a quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to know:
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- If someone has resealed it before
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
To get a quote, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us where the job is and what the problem looks like. We’ll give you a clear quote before any work starts.
What happens on the day
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Show us the job and we’ll take it from there. The job generally takes a few hours for a handful of joints, longer for a whole elevation, including the tidy-up. For a village or hamlet like Weston Underwood, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- First we look over the joints with you, agree which to renew and talk through access.
- We cut out the failed sealant and rake out any dirt or growth.
- We clean both faces of the joint and prime them where the product calls for it.
- Closed-cell backing rod is fitted to set the depth and stop three-sided bonding.
- The new sealant, chosen to suit the brick or render, is applied and tooled to a neat finish.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

Render joints
Cracks along render joints let water in behind the coat. A sound joint keeps the render dry behind.
Joints between dissimilar materials
Each side of the joint may need its own preparation. We prepare both faces so the sealant bonds properly.
What external mastic looks like in Weston Underwood
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.
In the older streets around Church of St Lawrence, an extension built onto an older house moves differently, and the joint between them takes the strain.

Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report. Several properties can be quoted together.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Look over the joints every year, ideally after winter
- Check the sealant is paintable before painting near it
- Act on the first splits you see
- Make sure movement joints aren’t pointed over
Don’t let soil, plants or ivy build up against the new joints. Anything that holds water against the joint wears it out sooner.
Gaps, plants or missing sealant in a joint are worth getting looked at. Earlier resealing means a smaller job and a better result.
