External mastic in Woosehill
Joints between dissimilar materials, like brick against render or concrete against a steel frame, see movement from both sides. A flexible exterior sealant takes up that movement. Typical jobs include movement joints filled with mortar instead of sealant and movement joints with cracked, split or missing sealant, across concrete & block, brickwork movement joints and joints between brick and frames.
Around Woosehill, garages, outbuildings and extensions all add to the joints on the outside of a home. Gutter ends, garage door frames and the joints where an extension meets the house are typical spots for leaks.

External mastic in Woosehill: local notes
Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
If you look after a building such as Windmill Primary School, larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing. For an older house near a landmark such as Woosehill Community Church, old and new materials meet at the roofline and walls, which is where sealant earns its keep.

What affects the cost of external mastic
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- The amount of work
- The type of sealant required
- When we can work, for business premises
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference.
What we need to know
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can tell us:
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Whether it has been sealed before
- The problem you’ve noticed
- The rough size of the job
There’s no standard price list, as no two jobs are quite the same. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To get started, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
What happens on the day
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Surfaces next to the work are protected before we start. The work normally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the building. A visit to Woosehill is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- We start by walking round the building and agreeing the joints and the access.
- Every bit of old sealant and any mortar or debris is cut out.
- Joint faces are cleaned back and primed if the sealant needs it.
- We fit closed-cell backing rod to control the depth.
- We apply the sealant, tool it and check the whole run.
Getting ready for the visit
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

Related advice
Leave it or put it right?
Done well, a resealed joint is a neat, straight line that suits the wall. A hurried job with smeared edges and no backing looks worse and fails sooner. Homes in smaller places like Woosehill can face more weather, and failed outside joints let damp into walls. Inside, a split seal lets water into floors and panels just as it would anywhere.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs, along with when we can work on site. Call for a quick quote and we’ll explain what it covers.
What you get with us

Do you need external mastic in Woosehill?
Many joints fail because they were sealed too deep or with nothing behind them. Sealant bonded to three sides has nowhere to go and tears as soon as the joint widens.
People usually contact us after spotting one of these:
- Joints with sealant missing in places
- Weeds or debris growing in open joints
- Rigid filler in a joint that should flex
- Rain getting behind render or cladding at a joint
Letting a property close to Wokingham station? Then split movement joints are easy to miss on a rental until damp shows inside.
What your quote should include
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- Whether you can choose the colour
- What product goes in the joint
- What preparation is included
Aftercare tips
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Ask before painting over external sealant
- Deal with leaking gutters that soak the joints below
- Wash walls gently around the sealant
- Don’t let climbing plants root in the sealant
Give the sealant the cure time we tell you before anything rubs against it. Most exterior sealants skin fast but take longer to cure right through.
Leaks behind façade panels and render often go unseen. When it finally shows inside, the joint may have been open for years, so it’s worth resealing at the first signs.
Surface by surface
Render joints
The face of render can be soft, so a low-modulus sealant is kinder to the joint edges. Priming is done where the sealant calls for it.
Cladding and façade panels
Cladding and façade panels are normally separated by sealed joints. We reseal them with a sealant suited to the panel material.

What is backing rod for?
We fit closed-cell backing rod wherever the joint depth needs controlling. It controls the depth and stops the sealant bonding to the back.

Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, we can. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
When is the sealant fully cured?
Most sealants are touch-dry well before they’re fully cured. We’ll tell you how long to leave the joint.
How long does the job take?
As a guide, most jobs take a few hours for a handful of joints, longer for a whole elevation. Larger jobs naturally take longer.
Can you reach joints on upper floors?
That depends on how high the joints are and the ground below. Low-level joints are straightforward; for higher ones, send details and we’ll confirm the access.
