How the job changes by surface
Concrete and blockwork
Concrete and block walls shrink as they dry and move with temperature. Their movement joints are sealed over backing rod with a flexible sealant.
Render joints
Water behind render can lead to blown patches. Resealing the joints early keeps water out.
External mastic in Beacon Hill
On houses, flats and commercial buildings across Beacon Hill, we reseal joints in brickwork, render, cladding and façade panels. The preparation is the same whatever the wall: clean, sound faces and a controlled depth. Typical jobs include damp patches traced to an open external joint and joints where the bead has come unstuck, across copings & trims, concrete & block and façade panels.
Older homes in small places like Beacon Hill may be stone, brick or timber-framed, often with later extensions. The joints where those materials meet are the weak points.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, large or small.

Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’ll tell you before we start. It will not solve:
- Loose or hollow render, which needs re-rendering
- Adding movement joints to masonry that has none
- Rising or penetrating damp from elsewhere in the wall

Common questions in Beacon Hill
Can you do external mastic in Beacon Hill?
Yes, Beacon Hill is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.
Will you come out to Beacon Hill?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before resealing.
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. Bigger jobs take longer.
Is it OK to fill a movement joint with cement?
No, not where the gap is a movement joint. Pointing it stops it working, and the wall may crack nearby. A flexible sealant is the right fill.
Why is there a gap in my brick wall?
A vertical gap in a long brick wall is normally a movement joint. It gives the wall room to move.
Can you reach joints on upper floors?
It depends on the height and the site. Ground-floor joints are simple; for higher ones, send details and we will confirm the access.
Will the new joint stand out?
There’s a good range of exterior colours, including greys, browns, whites and stone tones. We pick the one that suits your wall best so it does not stand out.
What affects the cost of external mastic
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- Working hours on commercial sites
- Any mould that needs treating
- The size of the job
- The old material and how stubborn it is
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
Asking for a quote
What to tell us when you ask for a quote:
- The type of property
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Where the property is
- What’s wrong with the joints now
Every job is quoted individually. Simply phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and describe the job, and pictures are welcome.
What external mastic looks like in Beacon Hill
With historic houses such as Hughenden Manor (about 3.5 miles north-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Beacon Hill as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older walls and rooflines need a sealant that moves with them and suits the material. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
Schools such as Tylers Green First School are buildings too, and larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing. For landlords with property near Beaconsfield station, split movement joints are easy to miss on a rental until damp shows inside. Homes close to Parish Church of Holy Trinity include some older properties, and an extension built onto an older house moves differently, and the joint between them takes the strain.

We also work for property managers and facilities teams. Several sites can go on one quote, and we are fully insured for the work.
What happens if it’s left?
A low-modulus sealant is chosen because it moves without pulling hard at the edges. That matters on brick, render and concrete, which can be weaker at the face. A stiffer product can damage the joint edge as it fails. Older cottages and farmhouses around Beacon Hill can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, along with when we can work on site. Call for a quick quote and we will explain what it covers.

How to look after the new joints
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Act on the first splits you see
- Leave the joints unpainted unless we’ve said otherwise
- Keep movement joints as flexible joints, not mortar
- Check external joints each spring
Keep the joints clear of soil, plants and climbing growth. Anything that holds water against the joint wears it out sooner.
If you can see gaps, plants or bare sections in a joint, have it checked. Earlier resealing means a smaller job and a better result.
How the visit works
All our tools and materials come with us in the van. Once we’ve agreed what’s being done, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the building. In a small place like Beacon Hill, access is normally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We look at every joint and agree a colour to suit the wall.
- Failed sealant is removed back to clean, sound faces.
- Closed-cell backing rod is pushed in so the sealant bonds to two sides only.
- We prime the faces where required.
- We gun in low-modulus sealant and tool it neatly.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
