External mastic in Wolverton, done properly
We’re ARBOMaster approved applicators, and each external joint gets a sealant suited to it. Some surfaces need a primer before sealing. We work on joints between brick and frames, render & cladding joints and façade panels, and the jobs we see most are rain getting behind render or cladding at a joint and sealant pulling away from one side of the joint.
Outside joints can only be sealed when they’re dry, so work in Wolverton is booked around the forecast. Let us know about access to every wall, plus any garages or outbuildings.
Big or small, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee.

Surface by surface
Brickwork movement joints
Brick moves with heat and moisture, and grows a little over time. That movement goes into the joint, so the sealant in it must stay soft and stretchy.
Cladding and façade panels
Metal and composite panels move a lot with temperature, so the joint sealant has to cope with frequent movement. We choose the product to suit.
Wolverton questions
Does the coastal weather in Wolverton affect outside sealant?
Near the coast, wind-driven rain and, nearer the shore, salt air make outside sealant work harder. The right product, a clean joint and the right depth all help it cope.
Do you cover smaller places like Wolverton?
Yes. Wolverton is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes, regularly. We can plan bigger jobs in stages to suit the site.
How often do external joints need resealing?
That depends on the wall, the weather and the movement. Signs to watch for are cracking, hardening and gaps at the edges, and reseal at that point.
How long does external mastic take?
A typical job takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the building, including the preparation. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
Do I need to be at home?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
How long should I leave it?
Different products cure at different speeds, so follow the cure time we give you when we finish.
How to look after the new joints
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep high-pressure jets off the joints
- Keep soil, plants and ivy away from the joints
- Get split or bare joints resealed while the damage is small
- Leave the joints unpainted unless we have said otherwise
Don’t paint over the new sealant unless we have said the product is paintable. Paint can crack on a flexible joint, and paint can crack as the joint moves.
Small splits are the time to act. At that stage it’s a simple cut out and reseal before water has had years to get in.
Wolverton buildings and the weather
Wolverton is close to the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. Both are hard on movement joints and outside wall joints, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
Homes close to Church of St Anthony the Martyr include some older properties, and old and new materials meet at the roofline and walls, which is where sealant earns its keep. If you look after a building such as Astor College for the Arts, its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s.

Around Wolverton
Around Wolverton, our work takes us to homes and buildings near Sladden Wood and the streets around them. For rail, the closest station is Kearsney station, about 1.5 miles north-east of the centre. Well-known places in the area include Dover Castle (3.8 miles east) and Crabble Corn Mill (1.9 miles east). The countryside around Wolverton includes Sugar Loaf Hill and Dover Western Heights.
Why deal with it now?
The longer a joint stays open, the more water the wall takes in. In cold weather, frost can damage wet brick and render near the open joint, so the damage spreads beyond the joint. Around Wolverton, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.

What we do, step by step
There is not much for you to do on the day. Show us the job and we’ll take it from there. The job generally takes a few hours for a handful of joints, longer for a whole elevation. Somewhere as small as Wolverton, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First we look over the joints with you, agree which to renew and talk through access.
- Old sealant and any debris are cut and raked out.
- Both sides are cleaned back to sound material and primed if needed.
- Closed-cell backing rod is fitted to set the depth and stop three-sided bonding.
- The new sealant, chosen to suit the brick or render, is applied and tooled to a neat finish.
How to prepare
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Tell us about any water getting in

Advice
When something else is needed
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- Cracking across the wall rather than at a joint
- Movement that is more than a sealant joint can take
- Rising or penetrating damp from elsewhere in the wall
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

What else we do in Wolverton
Signs you need external mastic in Wolverton
Joints sealed without backing rod, or far too deep, rarely last. Sealant bonded to three sides has nowhere to go and rips as the joint opens.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Brick movement joints where the sealant has split
- Cracked joints where brick meets render or frames
- Water getting into walls through failed joints
- Leaking joints around cladding and façade panels
If you let a flat or house near Kearsney station, split movement joints are easy to miss on a rental until damp shows inside.
Before booking anyone

- What the cure time is
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
