About our external mastic in Wigginton
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. We’re often asked to deal with brick movement joints where the sealant has split and leaking joints around cladding and façade panels, across façade panels, copings & trims and joints between brick and frames.
In a village or hamlet like Wigginton, older cottages and farm buildings often stand in the open, where walls and rooflines take the weather head on. Joints on those walls need a sealant that moves with the building and stays in place.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

Surface by surface
Brickwork movement joints
Brick movement joints are often mistaken for a missing mortar line. Where one has been mortared, we cut it out and reseal it with sealant.
Cladding and façade panels
Panels heat up and cool down quickly, so the joint sealant has to cope with frequent movement. The sealant is chosen with that in mind.
External mastic in Wigginton: local notes
With historic houses such as Broughton Castle (about 3.5 miles north-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Wigginton 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, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
In and around Wigginton, as anywhere, good external mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Should I try it myself first?
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Signs you need external mastic in Wigginton
The wrong product in a moving joint is a classic cause. A high-modulus or general-purpose sealant can be too rigid for a busy joint, and it tears off the sides.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Sealant that has lost its bond to the brick or render
- Water getting into walls through failed joints
- Failed seals between different materials
- Brick movement joints where the sealant has split
In the older streets around Church of Saint Giles, old and new materials meet at the roofline and walls, which is where sealant earns its keep.

What else we do in Wigginton
What happens if it’s left?
Resealing a run of joints in one go is normally better than patching one at a time. Joints of the same age tend to fail together and it means sorting access once. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Wigginton, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
Why us?
- Colour picked to suit the job
- One-year guarantee on every job
- Colour agreed with you before we start

Your questions about external mastic in Wigginton
Do you cover smaller places like Wigginton?
Yes, Wigginton is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Is there a guarantee on external mastic in Wigginton?
All our work, in Wigginton and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Can you match the colour of my brickwork?
Exterior sealants are made in a range of colours, from greys and browns to whites and stone shades. We choose the closest to your brick or render so the joint does not draw the eye.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. Commercial and hotel work is a large part of what we do, as well as homes. Working times can be discussed when we quote.
What is a movement joint?
A vertical gap in a long brick wall is usually a movement joint. It lets the bricks expand without cracking, and it should be sealed with a flexible sealant.
Does someone need to be in?
That depends on where the joints are. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
How do I get a quote for external mastic in Wigginton?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. To get one, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us what needs doing and where.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
How to look after the new joints
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Have failed joints looked at early
- Avoid pressure-washing directly into sealant joints
- Deal with leaking gutters that soak the joints below
- Never let anyone fill a movement joint with mortar
Make sure anyone working on the wall later knows where the movement joints are. They must stay as flexible joints, never rendered or pointed over.
Leaks behind façade panels and render often go unseen. By the time there’s a damp patch, the damage can be well established, so it’s worth resealing at the first signs.
How the visit works
On the day, we look over the joints with you first, so there are no surprises. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. Most jobs take a few hours for a handful of joints, longer for a whole elevation. For a village or hamlet like Wigginton, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- First, the joints are inspected and the access agreed.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
