External mastic in Brentford End, done properly
We cut out failed sealant, set the joint depth with closed-cell backing rod and reseal with a low-modulus exterior sealant. The colour is chosen to suit the brick or render. We’re often asked to deal with cracked joints where brick meets render or frames and weathered mastic that no longer stretches, across copings & trims, brickwork movement joints and render & cladding joints.
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. In a converted house in Brentford End, it’s worth checking who is responsible for the outside before booking.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, large or small.

DIY versus a professional finish
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
FAQs for Brentford End
Do you work for landlords with property near Syon Lane station?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners, and several properties can go on one quote. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Is parking a problem for a job in Brentford End?
It can be, so it helps to tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book. The visit is then planned around what’s available.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
Is it worth trying it myself?
That depends on the joint. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.
What should I tell you?
Only a few details: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. After that, simply phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Where are you based?
Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. We cover Brentford End and the rest of Greater London, along with the rest of our area.
Do I have to be there?
We need access to the joints, so we will agree that with you when we book. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes, regularly. We can plan bigger jobs in stages to suit the site.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
Brentford End buildings and the weather
Historic houses like Syon House (about 0.5 miles south-east) are a reminder that the area around Brentford End has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older walls and rooflines need a sealant that moves with them and suits the material. In terraces and conversions, gutters and walls are often shared with the neighbours, so it’s worth agreeing who is responsible before work starts.
If you live in an older home near Church of St Lawrence, old and new materials meet at the roofline and walls, which is where sealant earns its keep. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as The Green School, its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s. Brentford End is in London, so parking needs planning: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway.

How to look after the new joints
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Get split or bare joints resealed while the damage is small
- Never let anyone fill a movement joint with mortar
- Keep water from gutters off the wall
- Point out the joints to other trades
Keep the joints clear of soil, plants and climbing growth. Damp material against the sealant shortens its life.
An open movement joint lets rain into the wall every time it pours. Over time it can mean damp inside, stained render or frost-damaged brick.
Leave it or put it right?
A properly done movement joint is an even line in a colour that suits the wall. A hurried job with smeared edges and no backing looks worse and fails sooner, so it pays to do it properly once. In a flat in Brentford End, 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.
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part.

What else we do in Brentford End
How the visit works
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, do the work and tidy away. It normally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the building. In Brentford End, flats, stairs and shared entrances are part of the routine. If the building has a concierge, managing agent or access rules, tell us when you book.
- We look at every joint and agree a colour to suit the wall.
- Failed sealant is removed back to clean, sound faces.
- Backing rod goes in so the sealant can stretch between the two faces.
- Primer is applied wherever the sealant needs it.
- We gun in low-modulus sealant and tool it neatly.
Getting ready for the visit
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
