External Mastic in Botany Bay
Sealing brickwork movement joints, render, cladding and façade joints for householders, landlords and businesses in Botany Bay. Fully insured, ARBOMaster approved and guaranteed for a year.
- Failed sealant between panels on a façade

External mastic in Botany Bay, done properly
On houses, flats and commercial buildings across Botany Bay, we reseal joints in brickwork, render, cladding and façade panels. Every joint gets the same careful preparation: clean, sound faces and a controlled depth. If you are dealing with cracked joints where brick meets render or frames and movement joints filled with mortar instead of sealant, we can put it right, on copings & trims, brickwork movement joints and render & cladding joints alike.
Modern London flats rely on sealed movement joints and cladding joints. Period houses have different weak points, such as gutter joints, trims and the line where an extension meets the old wall.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

Signs you need external mastic in Botany Bay
Using the wrong sealant is another common reason. A stiff, general-purpose sealant cannot cope with a joint that moves a lot, and it tears off the sides.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Failed seals between different materials
- Movement joints with cracked, split or missing sealant
- Rigid filler in a joint that should flex
- Weeds or debris growing in open joints
Historic houses such as Forty Hall, about 2.5 miles east, show how far back building around Botany Bay goes, and older homes nearby need a sealant that suits their walls.

External mastic in Botany Bay: local notes
Historic houses like Forty Hall (about 2.5 miles east) are a reminder that the area around Botany Bay has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older brick and stone need a sealant that suits them, at the right joint depth. London terraces and converted houses often share gutters, downpipes and walls, so check who is responsible for the outside before booking.
Managing a site like St. John's Senior School? Then its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s. Letting a property close to Crews Hill station? Then failed wall and movement joints let damp in, so they’re worth checking between tenancies.

Different surfaces, different methods
Render joints
Render has movement joints and stop beads that need sealing. They’re resealed in a sealant that suits the render.
Concrete and blockwork
Concrete and block walls shrink as they dry and move with temperature. We reseal their joints with backing rod and a flexible product.
Why deal with it now?
An open joint keeps letting water into the wall with every downpour. In cold weather, frost can damage wet brick and render around the joint, so the problem grows beyond the joint itself. In older London homes, water behind a failed joint soaks into brick and timber without much sign, and by the time it shows on a wall or ceiling in Botany Bay, the repair is bigger than the sealant job would have been.

Can I do it myself?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
What happens on the day
We bring everything the job needs with us, so you don’t need to buy or prepare anything. Once we’ve agreed what’s being done, the area is protected and the work begins. Most jobs take a few hours to a few days, depending on the length of joint and the access. For a job in Botany Bay, parking and access are the things to plan: let us know about parking, the floor we will be working on and any lift or shared entrance.
- First, the joints are inspected and the access agreed.
- We cut out the old mastic and rake out anything in the joint.
- Joint faces are cleaned back and primed if the sealant needs it.
- Backing rod sized to the joint goes in to set the depth.
- The exterior sealant is applied, tooled and checked along its length.
Before we arrive
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
