About our external mastic in Winslow
We cut out failed sealant, set the joint depth with closed-cell backing rod and reseal with a low-modulus exterior sealant. The colour is chosen to suit the brick or render so the line blends in. We work on joints between brick and frames, copings & trims and brickwork movement joints, and people most often call us about water getting into walls through failed joints and failed seals between different materials.
In and around Winslow, older properties sit alongside newer ones, each with its own outside joints. Older homes need their gutter and trim joints kept tight, newer ones their movement joints.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

External mastic in Winslow: local notes
With historic houses such as Claydon House (about 3.5 miles south-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Winslow as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older walls and rooflines need a sealant that moves with them and suits the material. 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.
Managing a site like Sir Thomas Fremantle School? Then its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s.

The process
The work is kept neat and contained to the area we’re working on, so you can get on with your day. The job usually takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the building, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. A visit to Winslow is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- We start by checking each joint, agreeing the ones to redo and how we will reach them.
- Old sealant and any debris are cut and raked out.
- We clean both faces of the joint and prime them where the product calls for it.
- We push in closed-cell backing rod so the sealant is the right depth and bonds to the sides only.
- A flexible exterior sealant is applied and tooled in a colour to suit the wall.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

Winslow: your questions answered
Is Winslow in your area for external mastic?
Yes, Winslow is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Will you come out to Winslow?
Yes, Winslow is covered. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
What should I tell you?
Only a few details: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. Then phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, it won’t last. It may look fine at first, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. The old sealant has to come out completely.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often happy for the work to be arranged.
Do I need to be at home?
It depends on the job. Inside work needs someone to give us access, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
What does external mastic cost?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. To get one, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and let us know what needs doing and where.
Which products do you use?
The product depends on the job: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Landlord and commercial work in Winslow
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy. We can quote for more than one property at once.
Honest limits
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Subsidence or other structural problems
- Render that’s blown, hollow or coming away
- Rising or penetrating damp from elsewhere in the wall
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will tell you honestly.
What we seal
- Concrete & block
- Copings & trims
- Joints between brick and frames
- Brickwork movement joints
- Render & cladding joints
- Façade panels
What happens if it’s left?
It often makes sense to reseal all the failing joints on an elevation together. Joints of the same age tend to fail together and it means sorting access once. Around Winslow, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, and that’s a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
Why Winslow clients choose us

What we’re called out for in Winslow
UV, rain and frost all age exterior sealant. In time it goes hard, crazes on the surface and stops stretching, so the next time the wall moves, it splits or pulls away.
Look out for any of the following:
- Water getting into walls through failed joints
- Failed sealant between panels on a façade
- Movement joints filled with mortar instead of sealant
- Gaps where render, brick and frames meet
If you live in an older home near Church of St Laurence, old and new materials meet at the roofline and walls, which is where sealant earns its keep.

How to look after the new joints
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Walk round the building once a year and look at the joints
- Keep high-pressure jets off the joints
- Fix overflowing gutters above sealed joints
- Have failed joints looked at early
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.
Leave a failed movement joint and water keeps getting into the wall. That can lead to damp patches, staining and frost damage.
What the job involves on each surface
Render joints
Render is weaker at the surface than brick, so a low-modulus sealant is kinder to the joint edges. Priming is done where the sealant calls for it.
Concrete and blockwork
The face of concrete or block is often dusty, so preparation is key. We prime where the sealant needs it.
