Honest limits
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’ll tell you before work begins. It will not solve:
- Cutting new joints into brickwork, which is building work rather than sealant work
- Failed render or damaged cladding panels
- Cracked brickwork or render that needs a builder or plasterer
If you’re not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

External mastic in Willen, done properly
Getting the depth right is half the job. Closed-cell backing rod sets the depth and stops the sealant sticking to the back, leaving it bonded to two faces so it can move with the wall. If you have sealant that has lost its bond to the brick or render and failed seals between different materials, we can help, whatever the surface.
Somewhere as small as Willen, homes and farm buildings often face open ground, so walls and rooflines take the full force of wind and rain. 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, large or small.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.
Different surfaces, different methods
Cladding and façade panels
Where a cladding system has its own specified sealant, we follow it. Tell us what the building has when you get in touch.
Copings and trims
Copings expand and contract through the day, so a flexible sealant suits them best.
External mastic in Willen: local notes
Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast. Historic houses like Linford Manor (about 1.8 miles west) are a reminder that the area around Willen 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.
In the older streets around Church of St Mary Magdalene, old and new materials meet at the roofline and walls, which is where sealant earns its keep. If you look after a building such as Willen Primary School, its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s. If you let a flat or house near Milton Keynes Central station, failed wall and movement joints let damp in, so they’re worth checking between tenancies.

What happens if it’s left?
Done well, a resealed joint is a neat, straight line that suits the wall. A rushed bead with no backing looks untidy and doesn’t last, so it pays to do it properly once. In a small place like Willen, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That’s why we ask a few questions first.

Aftercare tips
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Keep soil, plants and ivy away from the joints
- Ask before painting over external sealant
- Fix overflowing gutters above sealed joints
- Keep high-pressure jets off the joints
If you have more work done on the wall, such as new render, cladding or an opening, show the contractor the movement joints. They should be kept open and resealed, not filled.
A joint that has stopped moving pushes the movement elsewhere, often as cracks near the joint. Catch it early and you reduce the risk.

Advice
Willen questions
I let a flat near Milton Keynes Central station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Do you cover smaller places like Willen?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you work at height?
It depends on the building. We work on joints that can be reached safely. Give us some details and we will confirm the access.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Do the sealants smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little, and any smell fades as they cure.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. Hotels, offices and other businesses use us.
Can a movement joint be filled with mortar?
No. Mortar locks the joint solid, so the wall cracks somewhere else instead. It needs a flexible sealant over backing rod.
What is backing rod for?
The foam is closed-cell backing rod. It stops the sealant going in too deep and bonding to three sides so it can flex with the joint.
