How we quote for external mastic
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- The type of sealant required
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- The number and length of the joints
- Working hours on commercial sites
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
What we need to know
What to tell us when you ask for a quote:
- Whether it has been sealed before
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
It all starts with a short chat. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job, and we will talk you through what we’d do. Whenever you are ready, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.
How we handle external mastic in Crowell Hill
Low-level joints can normally be done from the ground. Where joints are higher up, tell us about the building when you get in touch and we will confirm what access is needed. Typical jobs include plants rooting in failed movement joints and hard, crazed mastic that has stopped moving, on joints between brick and frames, façade panels and brickwork movement joints.
In a village or hamlet like Crowell Hill, older cottages and farm buildings often stand in the open, where walls and rooflines take the weather head on. Gutter joints and wall joints there need a sealant that can flex and stay put.
Our work is backed for twelve months.

Why act early in Crowell Hill
Running new sealant over the old bead rarely lasts. New sealant doesn’t bond well to old, weathered sealant, so the old joint is cut out fully first. Older cottages and farmhouses around Crowell Hill can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Combining jobs into one visit is normally more efficient than separate visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We will give you a clear price for the lot.

Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy. We can quote for more than one property at once.
How the visit works
We work through the job in order: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes a few hours to a few days, depending on the length of joint and the access. Somewhere like Crowell Hill needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- First we look over the joints with you, agree which to renew and talk through access.
- Old sealant and any debris are cut and raked out.
- Both sides are cleaned back to sound material and primed if needed.
- We push in closed-cell backing rod so the sealant is the right depth and bonds to the sides only.
- We gun in a flexible exterior sealant in a colour that suits the wall and tool it neatly.
How to prepare
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Tell us about any water getting in

Crowell Hill questions
Do you cover Crowell Hill for external mastic?
Yes, Crowell Hill is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
I let a flat near Saunderton station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Will it make a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.
Where do you work from?
We’re based in Crawley, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
How long does external mastic last?
There’s no fixed answer: sunny, exposed elevations and busy joints wear faster. A yearly look will tell you when they need doing. Every job carries our 12-month guarantee.
How do you reach high-level joints?
It depends on the height and the site. Ground-floor joints are simple; for higher work, tell us about the building and we’ll confirm what’s needed.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured, and we have been doing sealant work for more than 20 years.
Signs you need external mastic in Crowell Hill
Weeds, moss and debris in a joint are a sign the sealant has gone. Roots and dirt hold water against the wall and speed up the damage.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Damp patches traced to an open external joint
- Panel joints letting water in
- Joints where the bead has come unstuck
- Rigid filler in a joint that should flex
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary, old and new materials meet at the roofline and walls, which is where sealant earns its keep.

What sealant work cannot fix
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- Adding movement joints to masonry that has none
- Cracking across the wall rather than at a joint
- Rising or penetrating damp from elsewhere in the wall
If you are not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Outside joints around Crowell Hill
Historic houses like Adwell House (about 3.9 miles west) are a reminder that the area around Crowell Hill 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. London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
If you let a flat or house near Saunderton station, split movement joints are easy to miss on a rental until damp shows inside.
