External mastic in Alperton, done properly
Movement joints let brickwork, render and cladding expand and shrink without cracking. The sealant in it has to stretch and squeeze for years, so once it splits or hardens, the joint stops working and water gets in. We work on render & cladding joints, façade panels and concrete & block, and the jobs we see most are hard, crazed mastic that has stopped moving and water getting into walls through failed joints.
Working on the outside of a London home means planning access: shared paths, upper floors and parking. For a home in Alperton, tell us how high the joints are and how to reach the back of the building.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

Can I do it myself?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.

What affects the quote in Alperton
For a quick quote, just ask. The main things that affect it are:
- Working hours on commercial sites
- The number and length of the joints
- How many areas need sealing
- Any mould that needs treating
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.
What to tell us for a quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to know:
- If someone has resealed it before
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Where the property is
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or email us if that is easier. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we’ll explain what’s involved.
Common problems we fix in Alperton
Joints sealed without backing rod, or far too deep, rarely last. If the sealant sticks to the back as well as the sides, it cannot stretch and tears as soon as the joint widens.
Look out for these signs:
- Movement joints with cracked, split or missing sealant
- Sealant pulling away from one side of the joint
- Old sealant gone brittle and cracked
- Panel joints letting water in
Alperton is in London, so parking needs planning: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- How hidden problems are handled
When it is not the sealant
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Cutting new joints into brickwork, which is building work rather than sealant work
- Movement that’s more than a sealant joint can take
- Loose or hollow render, which needs re-rendering
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll say what we think before booking.
What we seal
- Brickwork movement joints
- Render & cladding joints
- Copings & trims
- Façade panels
- Joints between brick and frames
- Concrete & block
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 damage spreads beyond the joint. In a flat in Alperton, failed sealant seldom stays inside your own four walls: water can reach the neighbours below, and gaps in fire-rated joints affect the whole building.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed. Call for a quick quote and we’ll go through it with you.
Why us?
- Sealant colour chosen to suit
- Old sealant always removed completely

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Never let anyone fill a movement joint with mortar
- Check the sealant is paintable before painting near it
- Avoid pressure-washing directly into sealant joints
- Look over the joints every year, ideally after winter
Only paint over the joint if we’ve confirmed the sealant can take paint. Paint can crack on a flexible joint and spoil the finish.
A joint that has stopped moving pushes the movement elsewhere, generally as cracking in the brickwork or render nearby. Resealing it early helps prevent that.
The process
When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. Most jobs then take a few hours to a few days, depending on the length of joint and the access. Many London jobs are in flats, so we come ready for stairs, narrow hallways and shared entrances. If the building has a concierge, managing agent or access rules, tell us when you book.
- First, the joints are inspected and the access agreed.
- We cut out the old mastic and rake out anything in the joint.
- The faces are brushed clean and primed where the product requires it.
- We fit closed-cell backing rod to control the depth.
- We apply the sealant, tool it and check the whole run.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Clear the area around the work
- Mention any parking rules near the property

External mastic in Alperton: local notes
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 Pitzhanger Manor (about 2.1 miles south) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Alperton as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older walls and rooflines need a sealant that moves with them and suits the material.
If you look after a building such as Alperton Community School, its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s. Letting a property close to Wembley Central station? Then failed wall and movement joints let damp in, so they’re worth checking between tenancies.
