What affects the quote in Bakers Arms
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- The number of rooms or windows
- Whether the work is at height
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
Helping us quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Where the job is, and your postcode
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is.
How we handle external mastic in Bakers Arms
Low-level joints can generally be done from the ground. For joints higher up, give us some details of the building and we’ll confirm what access is needed. We work on brickwork movement joints, joints between brick and frames and concrete & block, and common reasons people get in touch are moss and dirt in joints with no sealant left and joints where the bead has come unstuck.
In London terraces and converted houses, gutters and walls are often shared with the house next door, so one failed joint can cause damp for more than one household. For a flat in Bakers Arms, check the lease for who looks after the outside.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

When to call us in Bakers Arms

- Damp patches traced to an open external joint
- Failed sealant between panels on a façade
- Joints where the bead has come unstuck

Common questions in Bakers Arms
Can you do external mastic in Bakers Arms?
Yes, Bakers Arms is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and let us know what needs doing.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Leyton Midland Road station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
How long should I leave it?
Different products cure at different speeds, so please follow the time we give you.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, every time. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status and we’re fully insured too.
How long does external mastic last?
That depends on the wall, the weather and the movement. Signs to watch for are cracking, hardening and gaps at the edges and have them redone then.
Will there be a smell?
Possibly a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures.
What we can’t put right
To be straight with you, some problems need a different trade:
- Rising or penetrating damp from elsewhere in the wall
- Cracks in the bricks or render themselves, away from the joints
- Cutting new joints into brickwork, which is building work rather than sealant work
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we seal
- Brickwork movement joints
- Render & cladding joints
- Façade panels
- Concrete & block
- Joints between brick and frames
- Copings & trims
What happens on the day
Our applicators work methodically: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. Typically it takes a few hours to a few days, depending on the length of joint and the access, and the area is left clean. In Bakers Arms, as in most of London, parking needs a little planning. It helps if you can point us to a visitor permit or a bay close to the door.
- We inspect the joints and agree which need resealing and how they’ll be reached.
- The old mastic and anything lodged in the joint is removed.
- Both sides are cleaned back to sound material and primed if needed.
- Backing rod goes in next, setting the depth and keeping the sealant off the back of the joint.
- A flexible exterior sealant is applied and tooled in a colour to suit the wall.
Preparing for the visit
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Mention any tricky access
- Let us know about parking restrictions

Related advice
What external mastic looks like in Bakers Arms
With historic houses such as Sutton House (about 2.5 miles south-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Bakers Arms as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older walls and rooflines need a sealant that moves with them and suits the material. London terraces and converted houses often share gutters, downpipes and walls, so it’s worth agreeing who is responsible before work starts.
In the older streets around St Stephen's, older walls, gutters and the joints where extensions meet them need a flexible sealant. If you look after a building such as Thomas Gamuel Primary School, its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s.

What the job involves on each surface
Brickwork movement joints
Vertical joints in long brick walls let the brickwork expand without cracking. We reseal them with a low-modulus sealant over backing rod in a colour to suit the brick.
Joints between dissimilar materials
Each side of the joint may need its own preparation. Both surfaces are cleaned and primed as the product requires.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Act on the first splits you see
- Make sure movement joints are not pointed over
- Point out the joints to other trades
- Walk round the building once a year and look at the joints
Keep the joints clear of soil, plants and climbing growth. Damp material against the sealant shortens its life.
Water getting behind cladding or render can go unnoticed for a long time. When it finally shows inside, the joint may have been open for years so early resealing is worth it.
