External mastic in Wingrave, done properly
A movement joint is a deliberate break that lets a wall expand and contract. Its sealant has to flex with the building, season after season, and when it fails, the wall takes the strain and water finds a way in. We work on render & cladding joints, concrete & block and façade panels, and common reasons people get in touch are brick movement joints where the sealant has split and failed seals between different materials.
In a village or hamlet like Wingrave, older cottages and farm buildings often stand in the open, 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.
Big or small, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee.

What we do, step by step
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we will get on with it. The job generally takes a few hours for a handful of joints, longer for a whole elevation. Somewhere as small as Wingrave, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We start by walking round the building and agreeing the joints and the access.
- 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.
- Backing rod sized to the joint goes in to set the depth.
- We apply the sealant, tool it and check the whole run.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

Advice
How to look after the new joints
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Get split or bare joints resealed while the damage is small
- Check the sealant is paintable before painting near it
- Check external joints each spring
- Keep high-pressure jets off the joints
Avoid pressure-washing straight into the joints. High-pressure water can lift the edges and let water in behind.
Once a joint cannot move, the wall finds another way, normally as cracking in the brickwork or render nearby. Catch it early and you reduce the risk.
Common questions in Wingrave
Is Wingrave within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you cover Wingrave for external mastic?
Yes, Wingrave is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.
Do you use backing rod?
The foam is closed-cell backing rod. It keeps the sealant at the right depth and bonded to the sides only, which would stop it stretching.
Will there be a smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, which fades as it sets. Opening a window helps.
Can landlords and businesses book you?
Yes, we do. Domestic, commercial and hotel work are all part of what we do.
Can you reach joints on upper floors?
Each building is different. Tell us the height, the number of joints and what’s below them.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured, and we have been doing sealant work for more than 20 years.
What do you put in the joint?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, chosen to suit the joint. We explain the product when we quote.

Outside joints around Wingrave
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day. With historic houses such as Ascott House (about 2.6 miles north-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Wingrave 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.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Wingrave Church of England Combined School, larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing. In the older streets around Church of St Peter and St Paul, old and new materials meet at the roofline and walls, which is where sealant earns its keep.

Common problems we fix in Wingrave
Every building moves. Brickwork grows a little over the years, blockwork and concrete shrink, and all of it moves with heat and moisture. The sealant in the movement joints takes that strain.
Look out for any of the following:
- Movement joints with cracked, split or missing sealant
- Damp patches traced to an open external joint
- Rigid filler in a joint that should flex
- Gaps where render, brick and frames meet
Letting a property close to Cheddington station? Then split movement joints are easy to miss on a rental until damp shows inside.
Before booking anyone
- What the cure time is
- What insurance they hold
- What product goes in the joint
- Whether you can choose the colour
When something else is needed
We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so here’s what sealant can’t put right:
- Damp from another source, such as a leaking gutter or a bridged damp-proof course
- Loose or hollow render, which needs re-rendering
- Cracks in the bricks or render themselves, away from the joints
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll say what we think.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Render & cladding joints
- Joints between brick and frames
- Copings & trims
- Brickwork movement joints
- Façade panels
- Concrete & block
Different surfaces, different methods
Joints between dissimilar materials
Different materials may need different primers. Both surfaces are cleaned and primed as the product requires.
Brickwork movement joints
Vertical joints in long brick walls let the brickwork expand without cracking. They’re resealed over backing rod with a low-modulus sealant.
DIY versus a professional finish
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
