Aftercare tips
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Point out the joints to other trades
- Leave the joints unpainted unless we have said otherwise
- Wash walls gently around the sealant
- Make sure movement joints aren’t pointed over
Do not paint over the new sealant unless we’ve said the product is paintable. Paint can crack on a flexible joint, and paint can crack as the joint moves.
Gaps, plants or missing sealant in a joint are worth getting looked at. Early work is quicker and leaves a better finish.
Different surfaces, different methods
Joints between dissimilar materials
Different materials may need different primers. Both surfaces are cleaned and primed as the product requires.
Concrete and blockwork
Big joints in concrete need careful depth control. We size the backing rod to the gap so the sealant is not too deep.
What external mastic looks like in Enfield Island Village
Historic houses like Forty Hall (about 2.3 miles west) are a reminder that the area around Enfield Island Village has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older brick and stone need a sealant that suits them, at the right joint depth. Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
As a London address, Enfield Island Village can be tricky for parking: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway. Managing a site like Prince of Wales Primary School? Then its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s. For landlords with property near Enfield Lock station, split movement joints are easy to miss on a rental until damp shows inside.

How we quote for external mastic
The price is agreed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- The size of the job
- The product the joint needs
- How easy the joints are to reach
Doing several joints on one visit usually makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We will send you a clear quote for the lot.
What we need to know
You don’t need to know the technical terms. It helps if you can tell us:
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- If someone has resealed it before
- How we’d reach the joints

Should I try it myself first?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.

FAQs for Enfield Island Village
Can parking be tricky for a visit in Enfield Island Village?
London parking needs a little planning, so let us know about permits, bays or a driveway when you book. The visit is then planned around what’s available.
I let a flat near Enfield Lock station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Can you match the colour of my brickwork?
We aim for a joint that suits the wall rather than one that jumps out. Colour is agreed with you before we begin, matched as closely as the range allows.
What information do you need?
Only a few details: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. Then call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
What do you put in the joint?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice.
Do you cover Enfield Island Village?
We do. Enfield Island Village is part of the area we cover.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator and we’re fully insured too.
Is it OK to fill a movement joint with cement?
No, not if it’s a movement joint. Pointing it stops it working, and the wall may crack nearby. A flexible sealant is the right fill.
What sealant work cannot fix
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t solve:
- Render that is blown, hollow or coming away
- Movement that’s more than a sealant joint can take
- Cracked brickwork or render that needs a builder or plasterer
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will tell you honestly.

What happens on the day
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we will get on with it. The job generally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the building. Many London jobs are in flats, so we come ready for stairs, narrow hallways and shared entrances. Mention any building rules, key holders or managing agents when you book.
- First we look over the joints with you, agree which to renew and talk through access.
- We cut out the failed sealant and rake out any dirt or growth.
- The joint faces are cleaned and primed where the sealant needs it.
- Backing rod goes in next, setting the depth and keeping the sealant off the back of the joint.
- The new sealant, chosen to suit the brick or render, is applied and tooled to a neat finish.
Getting ready for the visit
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
