Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
From a single let to a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
How we handle external mastic in Wolverton
Short cuts in external joints show up within a season or two. New sealant over old, joints packed with mortar and beads with no backing rarely last long. We take the old material out and do it properly. We work on brickwork movement joints, joints between brick and frames and copings & trims, and common reasons people get in touch are sealant that has lost its bond to the brick or render and rain getting behind render or cladding at a joint.
Outside joints can only be sealed when they’re dry, so work in Wolverton is booked around the forecast. Tell us about access to all sides of the building, including outbuildings and garages.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.

External mastic in Wolverton: local notes

Aftercare tips
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Check external joints each spring
- Act on the first splits you see
- Never let anyone fill a movement joint with mortar
- Deal with leaking gutters that soak the joints below
Make sure anyone working on the wall later knows where the movement joints are. They should be kept open and resealed, not filled.
An open movement joint lets rain into the wall every time it pours. That can lead to damp patches, staining and frost damage, all bigger jobs than a reseal.

When to call us in Wolverton
A lot of failed joints come down to preparation: dusty or wet faces, no primer where one was needed, or old sealant left in. The new sealant then lets go long before it should.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Failed seals between different materials
- Rain getting behind render or cladding at a joint
- Movement joints filled with mortar instead of sealant
- Hard, crazed mastic that has stopped moving
If you live in an older home near Church of St Catherine, older walls, gutters and the joints where extensions meet them need a flexible sealant.

How it works
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours to a few days, depending on the length of joint and the access. In a small place like Wolverton, access is generally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We start by checking each joint, agreeing the ones to redo and how we will reach them.
- The old mastic and anything lodged in the joint is removed.
- Both sides are cleaned back to sound material and primed if needed.
- Backing rod goes in next, setting the depth and keeping the sealant off the back of the joint.
- We gun in a flexible exterior sealant in a colour that suits the wall and tool it neatly.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

Advice
Wolverton questions
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Thatcham station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Is Wolverton within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Will you leave a mess?
No. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
How often do external joints need resealing?
It varies from wall to wall: sunny, exposed elevations and busy joints wear faster. Check them each year and reseal when they split or harden. Our work comes with a one-year guarantee.
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.
Will there be a smell?
Sometimes, a little. It fades as the sealant cures.
Why do you put foam in the joint first?
The foam is closed-cell backing rod. It stops the sealant going in too deep and bonding to three sides, which would stop it stretching.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, and we never do. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new bead soon lifts. The old sealant has to come out completely.
Why it’s worth doing now in Wolverton
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 Wolverton, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.
