Brookmans Park questions
Will you come out to Brookmans Park?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you cover Brookmans Park for external mastic?
Yes, Brookmans Park is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Should I point up the gap in my brickwork?
No. Rigid materials can’t move with the wall and the joint fails. If it has already been filled, we can normally cut it out and reseal it.
When is the sealant fully cured?
It depends on the product and the temperature. Before we leave, we’ll tell you the cure time.
Can you reach joints on upper floors?
That depends on the building and the joints. Where joints can be reached safely, we will do them. Tell us about the building and we will confirm what access is needed.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we’re part of it.
Do I need to be at home?
That depends on where the joints are. Inside work needs someone to give us access, and for outside work we will agree access with you when we book.
Where are you based?
We are based in Crawley, West Sussex, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
External mastic in Brookmans Park
Joints between dissimilar materials, like brick against render or concrete against a steel frame, see movement from both sides. A flexible sealant bridges the two where mortar or filler would crack. If you’re dealing with weathered mastic that no longer stretches and joints where the bead has come unstuck, we can help, on concrete & block, joints between brick and frames and brickwork movement joints alike.
Older homes in small places like Brookmans Park may be stone, brick or timber-framed, often with later extensions. The joints where those materials meet are the weak points.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right with it, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.

Why it’s worth doing now in Brookmans Park
It often makes sense to reseal all the failing joints on an elevation together. Joints of the same age tend to fail together and it means sorting access once. Around Brookmans Park, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs, along with when we can work on site. Ask us for a quote and we’ll go through it with you.

Can I do it myself?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
How it works
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so there’s nothing for you to buy. Once we’ve agreed what’s being done, we protect the area and start. It normally takes a few hours for a handful of joints, longer for a whole elevation. Somewhere as small as Brookmans Park, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We look at every joint and agree a colour to suit the wall.
- We take out the old sealant until the faces are sound.
- Closed-cell backing rod is pushed in so the sealant bonds to two sides only.
- Primer is applied wherever the sealant needs it.
- We gun in low-modulus sealant and tool it neatly.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

External mastic in Brookmans Park: local notes
Historic houses like Wyllyotts Manor (about 1.8 miles south) are a reminder that the area around Brookmans Park has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older brick and stone need a sealant that suits them, at the right joint depth. London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
Rented homes near Brookmans Park station change hands often, and outside joints that have cracked can let damp into a rental, so check them between lets. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Chancellor's School, larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing.

Sometimes a movement joint was filled with mortar or a rigid filler by mistake. The joint can’t move, so the wall cracks somewhere else instead.
Look out for any of the following:
- Failed seals between different materials
- Old sealant gone brittle and cracked
- Brick movement joints where the sealant has split
- Weeds or debris growing in open joints
In the older streets around United Reformed Church Brookmans Park, the joints between older walls, newer extensions and the roofline need a sealant that can move.
