Surface by surface
Brickwork movement joints
Clay brickwork grows slightly over its life and moves with the weather. The movement joint takes that up, so its sealant has to stay flexible.
Render joints
Rendered walls have joints at beads, openings and changes of material. They’re resealed in a sealant that suits the render.
How we handle external mastic in Brackenbury Village
Failed sealant is cut out, the depth set with closed-cell backing rod, and the joint resealed with a low-modulus sealant made for outside. The colour is chosen to suit the brick or render so the joint doesn’t stand out. We work on copings & trims, concrete & block and joints between brick and frames, and the jobs we see most are joints where the bead has come unstuck and failed sealant between panels on a façade.
Working on the outside of a London home means planning access: shared paths, upper floors and parking. For a home in Brackenbury Village, tell us how high the joints are and how to reach the back of the building.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

What happens on the day
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Show us the job and we will take it from there. The job generally takes a few hours for a handful of joints, longer for a whole elevation. For a job in Brackenbury Village, 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.
- 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.
- We clean both faces of the joint and prime them where the product calls for it.
- We push in closed-cell backing rod so the sealant is the right depth and bonds to the sides only.
- The new sealant, chosen to suit the brick or render, is applied and tooled to a neat finish.
Preparing for the visit
- Move anything stored near the joints
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

DIY sealant or a professional job?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
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 external mastic looks like in Brackenbury Village
London terraces and converted houses often share gutters, downpipes and walls, so it’s worth agreeing who is responsible before work starts. Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
Brackenbury Village is in London, so parking needs planning: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway. In the older streets around Church of the Holy Innocents, the joints between older walls, newer extensions and the roofline need a sealant that can move. Rented homes near Shepherds Bush station change hands often, and split movement joints are easy to miss on a rental until damp shows inside.

What else we do in Brackenbury Village
Keeping the joints in good condition
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Tell anyone working on the walls about the movement joints
- Deal with leaking gutters that soak the joints below
- Have failed joints looked at early
- Look over the joints every year, ideally after winter
Give the sealant the cure time we tell you before anything rubs against it. Most exterior sealants skin fast but take longer to cure right through.
Water getting behind cladding or render can go unnoticed for a long time. By the time there’s a damp patch, the damage can be well established so early resealing is worth it.
For landlords and businesses
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report. We can quote for more than one property at once.
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
