External mastic for homes and businesses in Canons Park
Where two different materials meet, such as brick and render or blockwork and metal, they move at different rates. A flexible sealant bridges the two where a rigid filler would soon crack. If you have panel joints letting water in and weeds or debris growing in open joints, we can help, whatever the surface.
Newer London blocks are built with movement joints in brick and render, and with cladding joints sealed with mastic. Older terraces have their own weak points: gutter joints, roofline trims and the joint where an extension meets the original wall.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.

Canons Park buildings and the weather
With historic houses such as Headstone Manor (about 3 miles west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Canons Park as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older brick and stone need a sealant that suits them, at the right joint depth. In terraces and conversions, gutters and walls are often shared with the neighbours, so check who is responsible for the outside before booking.
For landlords with property near Mill Hill Broadway station, outside joints that have cracked can let damp into a rental, so check them between lets. If you look after a building such as Camrose Primary With Nursery, movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s.

The process

Most jobs take a few hours to a few days, depending on the length of joint and the access. For a job in Canons Park, parking and access are the things to plan: let us know about parking, the floor we’ll be working on and any lift or shared entrance.
- 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.
- We prime the faces where required.
- A low-modulus exterior sealant is gunned in and tooled to a neat finish.

Can I do it myself?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.

How the job changes 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.
Concrete and blockwork
Blockwork and concrete shrink over time and move with the seasons. We reseal their joints with backing rod and a flexible product.
When it is not the sealant
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:
- Movement that is more than a sealant joint can take
- Cutting new joints into brickwork, which is building work rather than sealant work
- Cracked brickwork or render that needs a builder or plasterer
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
