Common questions in Dane End
Is Dane End in your area for external mastic?
Yes, Dane End is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us what needs doing.
Do you cover smaller places like Dane End?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are glad to have it sorted.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes, always. Each job is guaranteed for twelve months.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. We remove every bit of old sealant first, so the new joint bonds to clean surfaces.
Is it OK to fill a movement joint with cement?
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.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We work from Crawley. Our applicators cover Dane End, along with the rest of our area.
External mastic for homes and businesses in Dane End
Joints in render and cladding are easy to overlook until a damp patch appears. We look over the joints, agree the ones to renew and reseal with a flexible, weatherproof product in a matching colour. We work on joints between brick and frames, façade panels and render & cladding joints, and the jobs we see most are weeds or debris growing in open joints and failed sealant between panels on a façade.
Around Dane End, older buildings can be stone, brick or timber-framed, many with extensions added later. Where one material meets another is where water generally gets in.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Dane End as everywhere else we work.

When it isn’t the sealant
In fairness, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- Walls that need new movement joints cut into them
- Failed render or damaged cladding panels
- Structural movement, which needs a surveyor or engineer
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think.

How it works
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we do not rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours to a few days, depending on the length of joint and the access. Somewhere as small as Dane End, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We start by checking each joint, agreeing the ones to redo and how we’ll reach them.
- We cut out the failed sealant and rake out any dirt or growth.
- We clean both faces of the joint and prime them where the product calls for it.
- Closed-cell backing rod is fitted to set the depth and stop three-sided bonding.
- A flexible exterior sealant is applied and tooled in a colour to suit the wall.
How to prepare
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Mention any tricky access
- Let us know about parking restrictions

Joints between dissimilar materials
Wherever two materials meet, they move differently. We seal the joint with a flexible exterior sealant.
Copings and trims
Coping joints that leak let water straight down into the wall. Sealing them early saves the wall below.
Leave it or put it right?
A failed movement joint lets water into the wall. Resealing early keeps the job to the joint itself, instead of the wall and finishes around it. In a small place like Dane End, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll talk you through it.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
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.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

The quote reflects the job in front of us. We take into account:
- Whether the work is at height
- Any mould that needs treating
- The number of rooms or windows

What external mastic looks like in Dane End
Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind. With historic houses such as Aston Bury (about 3.6 miles west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Dane End as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older walls and rooflines need a sealant that moves with them and suits the material.
For an older house near a landmark such as Parish Church of All Saints, old and new materials meet at the roofline and walls, which is where sealant earns its keep. If you look after a building such as Munden Church of England Voluntary Controlled Primary School, larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing. Rented homes near Watton-At-Stone station change hands often, and split movement joints are easy to miss on a rental until damp shows inside.
