External mastic for homes and businesses in Woburn
Joints between dissimilar materials, like brick against render or concrete against a steel frame, see movement from both sides. A flexible sealant bridges the two where mortar or filler would crack. Typical jobs include rain getting behind render or cladding at a joint and cracked joints where brick meets render or frames, on joints between brick and frames, concrete & block and brickwork movement joints.
Outside joints can only be sealed when they’re dry, so work in Woburn is booked around the forecast. Tell us about access to all sides of the building, including outbuildings and garages.
You get a 12-month guarantee, the same in Woburn as everywhere else we work.

For landlords and businesses
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy. We can quote for more than one property at once.
Signs you need external mastic in Woburn
Sometimes a movement joint was filled with mortar or a rigid filler. With the joint locked solid, the movement turns into cracks elsewhere in the wall.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Sealant pulling away from one side of the joint
- Rain getting behind render or cladding at a joint
- Movement joints filled with mortar instead of sealant
- Hard, crazed mastic that has stopped moving
Rented homes near Aspley Guise station change hands often, and outside joints that have cracked can let damp into a rental, so check them between lets.

What’s an expansion joint in brickwork?
A vertical gap in a long brick wall is generally a movement joint. It gives the wall room to move and needs a flexible seal, not mortar.
Can you reach joints on upper floors?
Each building is different. Send us photos and a rough idea of the height, and we will confirm what access is needed.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we’re part of it.
When is the sealant fully cured?
That depends on the sealant used, so follow the cure time we give you.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Our base is in Crawley, West Sussex, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
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.
Outside joints around Woburn
With historic houses such as Woburn Abbey (about 1.1 miles south-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Woburn as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older brick and stone need a sealant that suits them, at the right joint depth. 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.
Homes close to Old Church of St Mary include some older properties, and older walls, gutters and the joints where extensions meet them need a flexible sealant. Schools such as Woburn Lower School are buildings too, and its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s.

- Cracks in the bricks or render themselves, away from the joints

DIY versus a professional finish
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
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. For a village or hamlet like Woburn, 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.
- Each joint is checked and the colour of the new sealant agreed.
- Failed sealant is removed back to clean, sound faces.
- Backing rod goes in so the sealant can stretch between the two faces.
- Primer is applied wherever the sealant needs it.
- We gun in low-modulus sealant and tool it neatly.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Mention any tricky access
- Move anything stored near the joints

How to look after the new joints
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Show decorators and builders where the movement joints are
- Walk round the building once a year and look at the joints
- Keep water from gutters off the wall
- Avoid pressure-washing directly into sealant joints
Look over the joints once a year, ideally after winter. Splits, gaps at the edges or plants in the joint are early warning signs.
Gaps, plants or missing sealant in a joint are worth getting looked at. Early work is quicker and leaves a better finish.
