External mastic in Clay Hill, done properly
On houses, flats and commercial buildings across Clay Hill, we reseal joints in brickwork, render, cladding and façade panels. Every joint gets the same careful preparation: clean joint faces and the right depth. If you have panel joints letting water in and movement joints filled with mortar instead of sealant, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Modern London flats rely on sealed movement joints and cladding joints. Older terraces have their own weak points: gutter joints, roofline trims and the joint where an extension meets the original wall.
Every job is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Outside joints around Clay Hill
London terraces and converted houses often share gutters, downpipes and walls, so check who is responsible for the outside before booking. Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
For landlords with property near Gordon Hill station, failed wall and movement joints let damp in, so they’re worth checking between tenancies. In the older streets around Church of St John the Baptist, older walls, gutters and the joints where extensions meet them need a flexible sealant.

Leave it or put it right?
Sealing over the top of old mastic doesn’t hold for long. New sealant does not bond well to old, weathered sealant, so we always take the old sealant out. In a flat in Clay Hill, failed sealant seldom stays inside your own four walls: water from a shower or window joint can reach the flat below, and gaps in fire-stopping matter to everyone in the building.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Honest limits
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- Rising or penetrating damp from elsewhere in the wall
- Movement that’s more than a sealant joint can take
- Cracked brickwork or render that needs a builder or plasterer
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we seal
- Copings & trims
- Render & cladding joints
- Concrete & block
- Brickwork movement joints
- Joints between brick and frames
- Façade panels
Common problems we fix in Clay Hill
Weeds, moss and debris in a joint are a sign the sealant has gone. Roots and dirt hold water against the wall.
People normally contact us when they notice one of these:
- Movement joints with cracked, split or missing sealant
- Movement joints filled with mortar instead of sealant
- Panel joints letting water in
- Joints where the bead has come unstuck
Managing a site like St John's CofE Primary School? Then movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s.

How the visit works
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it usually takes a few hours to a few days, depending on the length of joint and the access. In Clay Hill, flats, stairs and shared entrances are part of the routine. Mention any building rules, key holders or managing agents when you book.
- We look at every joint and agree a colour to suit the wall.
- We take out the old sealant until the faces are sound.
- Backing rod goes in so the sealant can stretch between the two faces.
- Primer is applied wherever the sealant needs it.
- A low-modulus exterior sealant is gunned in and tooled to a neat finish.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Clear the area around the work

Common questions in Clay Hill
Is Clay Hill in your area for external mastic?
Yes, Clay Hill is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us what needs doing.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Gordon Hill station?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
Can a movement joint be filled with mortar?
No, not where the gap is a movement joint. Filling it with mortar defeats its purpose, and the wall may crack nearby. We will reseal it with a flexible sealant.
What does external mastic cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. You will get a clear quote before we start.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes. Every job comes with our one-year guarantee.
Will it make a mess?
We keep the work tidy. We protect what’s around the joints, and we clear up when we are done.
Should I try DIY first?
It depends on the job. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Can you seal joints between two different materials?
Yes. We cut out the old sealant, prepare both faces and reseal with a flexible exterior product. We pick a colour that works with both materials.
Keeping the joints in good condition
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Deal with leaking gutters that soak the joints below
- Point out the joints to other trades
- Act on the first splits you see
- Never let anyone fill a movement joint with mortar
Avoid pressure-washing straight into the joints. High-pressure water can lift the edges over time.
Small splits are the time to act. At that stage it’s a simple cut out and reseal with no damage behind it to deal with.
