Common questions in Wood Street Village
Do you cover Wood Street Village for external mastic?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Wood Street Village is part of that. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear quote.
I let a flat near Wanborough station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Do I need to be at home?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What should I tell you?
Let us know what needs doing and where, with photos by email if possible. We’ll ask anything else we need to know.
Do you work at height?
It depends on the height and the site. Ground-floor joints are simple; for higher work, tell us about the building and we’ll confirm what’s needed.
How long before the joint can be used?
Many sealants skin over quickly but take longer to cure fully. We will give you the cure time for the product we used.
Can you match the colour of my brickwork?
There’s a good range of exterior colours, including greys, browns, whites and stone tones. We choose the closest to your brick or render so it doesn’t stand out.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.
External mastic in Wood Street Village
Where two different materials meet, such as brick and render or blockwork and metal, they move at different rates. A flexible exterior sealant takes up that movement where a rigid filler would soon crack. If you’re dealing with plants rooting in failed movement joints and damp patches traced to an open external joint, we can put it right.
Outside joints can only be sealed when they’re dry, so work in Wood Street Village is booked around the forecast. Let us know about access to every wall, plus any garages or outbuildings.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

Walls and rooflines in Wood Street Village
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind. With historic houses such as Wanborough Manor (about 1.9 miles south-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Wood Street Village as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older walls and rooflines need a sealant that moves with them and suits the material.
Homes close to St Alban's Church include some older properties, and old and new materials meet at the roofline and walls, which is where sealant earns its keep. Letting a property close to Wanborough station? Then split movement joints are easy to miss on a rental until damp shows inside.

The process
We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. For most jobs that takes a few hours to a few days, depending on the length of joint and the access. For a village or hamlet like Wood Street Village, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- First we look over the joints with you, agree which to renew and talk through access.
- The old mastic and anything lodged in the joint is removed.
- The joint faces are cleaned and primed where the sealant needs it.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Mention any parking rules near the property

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 around the joint, so the problem grows beyond the joint itself. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Wood Street Village, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts.

Aftercare tips
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Keep water from gutters off the wall
- Make sure movement joints are not pointed over
- Act on the first splits you see
- Do not let climbing plants root in the sealant
Make sure anyone working on the wall later knows where the movement joints are. They should be kept open and resealed, not filled.
Gaps, plants or missing sealant in a joint are worth getting looked at. Early work is quicker and leaves a better finish.

When to call us in Wood Street Village
Using the wrong sealant is another common reason. A stiff, general-purpose sealant cannot cope with a joint that moves a lot, and it tears off the sides.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Weathered mastic that no longer stretches
- Rigid filler in a joint that should flex
- Rain getting behind render or cladding at a joint
- Leaking joints around cladding and façade panels
If you look after a building such as Wood Street Infant School, its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s.
What your quote should include
- What product goes in the joint
- What preparation is included
- Which colour the sealant will be
- Are they insured?
DIY sealant or a professional job?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
When it isn’t the sealant
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- Rising or penetrating damp from elsewhere in the wall
- Adding movement joints to masonry that has none
- Subsidence or other structural problems
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will tell you honestly before you book.
