Wormstone External Mastic
Problem with your movement joints in Wormstone? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly, with a one-year guarantee.
- Cracked joints where brick meets render or frames
- Old sealant gone brittle and cracked
- Leaking joints around cladding and façade panels
External mastic in Wormstone, done properly
Getting the depth right is half the job. Closed-cell backing rod sets the depth and stops the sealant sticking to the back, so it bonds to the two sides only and can stretch. If you have water getting into walls through failed joints and joints where the bead has come unstuck, we can put it right, on render & cladding joints, brickwork movement joints and copings & trims alike.
Outside joints can only be sealed when they’re dry, so work in Wormstone is booked around the forecast. Tell us about access to all sides of the building, including outbuildings and garages.
All our work is covered by our 12-month guarantee.

Walls and rooflines in Wormstone
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day. With historic houses such as Waddesdon Manor (about 1 mile west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Wormstone as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older brick and stone need a sealant that suits them, at the right joint depth.
Managing a site like Waddesdon Church of England School? Then larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing. In the older streets around St Michael and All Angels' Church, old and new materials meet at the roofline and walls, which is where sealant earns its keep.

FAQs for Wormstone
Do you work for landlords with property near Aylesbury Vale Parkway station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Can you do external mastic in Wormstone?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Wormstone is part of that. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing.
When is the sealant fully cured?
That depends on the sealant used, so please follow the time we give you when we finish.
Are you insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work.
Can you seal joints between two different materials?
Yes. Different materials move at different rates, so the joint between them must be flexible. The sealant is matched to both sides.
Can you reach joints on upper floors?
Each building is different. Send us pictures and a rough idea of the height and we will confirm how they can be reached safely.
Will there be a smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures. Opening a window helps.
Where are you based?
Our base is in Crawley, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Why deal with it now?
Running new sealant over the old bead rarely lasts. New sealant doesn’t bond well to old, weathered sealant, so the old joint is cut out fully first. Around Wormstone, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed. Ask us for a quote and we will go through it with you.

When to call us in Wormstone
Joints sealed without backing rod, or far too deep, rarely last. Sealant bonded to three sides has nowhere to go and tears as soon as the joint widens.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Moss and dirt in joints with no sealant left
- Failed sealant between panels on a façade
- Brick movement joints where the sealant has split
- Failed seals between different materials
If you let a flat or house near Aylesbury Vale Parkway station, split movement joints are easy to miss on a rental until damp shows inside.

How the job changes by surface
Cladding and façade panels
Panels heat up and cool down quickly, so the joints work hard every day. The sealant is chosen with that in mind.
Copings and trims
Coping and trim joints face rain and sun head on. Each is resealed with a weatherproof, flexible sealant.
The process
We keep the work tidy and contained to the area we are working on, so you can get on with your day. The job usually takes a few hours to a few days, depending on the length of joint and the access, and we explain the cure time before we leave. Somewhere like Wormstone needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We start by checking each joint, agreeing the ones to redo and how we’ll reach them.
- Old sealant and any debris are cut and raked out.
- The joint faces are cleaned and primed where the sealant needs it.
- Closed-cell backing rod is fitted to set the depth and stop three-sided bonding.
- A flexible exterior sealant is applied and tooled in a colour to suit the wall.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Let us know about parking restrictions

What affects the cost of external mastic
We don’t publish a price list. The quote depends on:
- The number and length of the joints
- How easy the joints are to reach
- Which sealant suits the joint
- The old material and how stubborn it is
The cost depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. We give a clear quote before we start, so you know where you stand.
What to tell us for a quote
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- Roughly how big the job is
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Walk round the building once a year and look at the joints
- Show decorators and builders where the movement joints are
- Keep movement joints as flexible joints, not mortar
- Wash walls gently around the sealant
If you have more work done on the wall, such as new render, cladding or an opening, show the contractor the movement joints. They must stay as flexible joints, never rendered or pointed over.
Act while the splits are small. At that stage it’s a simple cut out and reseal with no damage behind it to deal with.
