How we handle external mastic in Coopersale
Low-level joints can generally be done from the ground. Where joints are higher up, tell us about the building when you get in touch and we’ll confirm what access is needed. We work on copings & trims, joints between brick and frames and render & cladding joints, and the jobs we see most are movement joints with cracked, split or missing sealant and water getting into walls through failed joints.
External sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work around Coopersale is planned for dry weather. Let us know about access to every wall, plus any garages or outbuildings.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee.

Your questions about external mastic in Coopersale
Do you cover Coopersale for external mastic?
Yes, Coopersale is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.
Is there a guarantee on external mastic in Coopersale?

Where is Mr Mastic based?
Our base is Crawley. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. We work in offices, washrooms, hotels and other commercial premises, as well as homes. Working times can be discussed when we quote.
How long before the joint can be used?
That depends on the sealant used, so follow the cure time we give you.
Why do you put foam in the joint first?
Backing rod controls the sealant depth and keeps it off the back of the joint. That way it bonds to the two sides only and can stretch.
Will you leave a mess?
We keep the work tidy. We protect what’s around the joints, and the area is left clean when we finish.
Can landlords and businesses book you?
Yes. As well as homeowners, we work for landlords, agents, businesses and hotels in Coopersale.
What sealant work cannot fix
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant will not do:

- Subsidence or other structural problems

Outside joints around Coopersale
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast. With historic houses such as Hill Hall (about 2.2 miles south) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Coopersale as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older walls and rooflines need a sealant that moves with them and suits the material.
Homes close to Saint Alban's Church include some older properties, and the joints between older walls, newer extensions and the roofline need a sealant that can move.

Why it’s worth doing now in Coopersale
Sealing over the top of old mastic does not hold for long. The new layer can’t bond properly to old, weathered material, so we always take the old sealant out. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Coopersale, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You’ll know the price before we begin.
Why book with us
- White, clear, grey or another colour, product permitting

- Anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas

Should I try it myself first?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
How the visit works
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, protect the area around them, carry out the job and tidy away. It generally takes a few hours to a few days, depending on the length of joint and the access. Somewhere as small as Coopersale, 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.
- Backing rod goes in so the sealant can stretch between the two faces.
- We prime the faces where required.
- We gun in low-modulus sealant and tool it neatly.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

Common reasons people contact us include:
- Joints where the bead has come unstuck
- Joints with sealant missing in places
- Failed sealant between panels on a façade
- Plants rooting in failed movement joints
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as St John's Church of England Voluntary Controlled School, larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing.
