Surface by surface
Joints between dissimilar materials
Each side of the joint may need its own preparation. Both surfaces are cleaned and primed as the product requires.
Cladding and façade panels
If the façade has a specified sealant, that is what we use, or one the system allows. Send us any details you have about the façade.
How we handle external mastic in Wissington
Many failed façade joints only get noticed once there’s a stain or a damp patch inside. We inspect them, agree which need doing and reseal with a weatherproof, flexible sealant in a colour to suit. We work on concrete & block, joints between brick and frames and render & cladding joints, and common reasons people get in touch are weathered mastic that no longer stretches and joints where the bead has come unstuck.
External sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work around Wissington is planned for dry weather. Tell us about access to all sides of the building, including outbuildings and garages.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once the job is done.

Outside joints around Wissington
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
In the older streets around Church of St Mary Wiston, old and new materials meet at the roofline and walls, which is where sealant earns its keep. Schools such as Nayland Primary School are buildings too, and its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s. Letting a property close to Bures station? Then failed wall and movement joints let damp in, so they’re worth checking between tenancies.

How the visit works
We work through the job in order: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. Typically it takes a few hours for a handful of joints, longer for a whole elevation, and the area is left clean. Somewhere as small as Wissington, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First, the joints are inspected and the access agreed.
- We cut out the old mastic and rake out anything in the joint.
- The faces are brushed clean and primed where the product requires it.
- We fit closed-cell backing rod to control the depth.
- The exterior sealant is applied, tooled and checked along its length.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Mention any parking rules near the property

What we can’t put right
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t solve:
- Damp from another source, such as a leaking gutter or a bridged damp-proof course
- Cracking across the wall rather than at a joint
- Movement that is more than a sealant joint can take
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Render & cladding joints
- Concrete & block

How we quote for external mastic
Every job gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- The product the joint needs
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- How much there is to do
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. You will have a clear quote before any work starts.
What to tell us for a quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to know:
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- The rough size of the job
- Where the job is, and your postcode
Need a quote? Please call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details. We’ll explain what we’d do and give you a clear quote before work begins.
Why deal with it now?
Water gets in through a failed movement joint, behind render and cladding. Dealing with it early keeps the repair to the joint, instead of the wall and finishes around it. Older cottages and farmhouses around Wissington can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs, plus any working-time requirements on site. Ask us for a quote and we will go through it with you.

Can I do it myself?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Wissington questions
Is Wissington in your area for external mastic?

Do you work for landlords with property near Bures station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before work begins.
What should I tell you?
Just the basics: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. Then call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Will there be a smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all.
How do I get a quote for external mastic in Wissington?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Ask us for a quote.
How long before the joint can be used?
Different products cure at different speeds, so follow the cure time we give you.
Should I try DIY first?
That depends on the joint. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Can you seal joints between render and window frames?
Yes. The old joint is removed, both surfaces cleaned and primed where needed, and a flexible sealant applied. We pick a colour that works with both materials.
