External & façade joints in Forest Hill, Oxfordshire
External mastic across Forest Hill and nearby, with old sealant always removed completely and a 12-month guarantee.
- Sealant pulling away from one side of the joint
- Gaps where render, brick and frames meet
- Movement joints with cracked, split or missing sealant
External mastic in Forest Hill, done properly
Joints between dissimilar materials, like brick against render or concrete against a steel frame, see movement from both sides. A flexible exterior sealant takes up that movement where mortar or filler would crack. If you have panel joints letting water in and failed seals between different materials, we can put it right.
Outside joints can only be sealed when they’re dry, so work in Forest Hill is booked around the forecast. Let us know about access to every wall, plus any garages or outbuildings.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

What sealant work cannot fix
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:
- Render that’s blown, hollow or coming away
- Cracks in the bricks or render themselves, away from the joints
- Subsidence or other structural problems
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly before you book.

What external mastic looks like in Forest Hill
Historic houses like Garsington Manor (about 3.6 miles south) are a reminder that the area around Forest 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. Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
Schools such as Sandhills Community Primary School are buildings too, and movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s.

Surface by surface
Copings and trims
Joints in copings, parapets and trims are exposed to the worst of the weather. Each is resealed with a weatherproof, flexible sealant.
Cladding and façade panels
Metal and composite panels move a lot with temperature, so the joint sealant has to cope with frequent movement. The sealant is chosen with that in mind.
Can I do it myself?
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Forest Hill questions
Is external mastic in Forest Hill guaranteed?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Will you come out to Forest Hill?
Yes. Forest Hill is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do I need to be at home?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. Once we have agreed the job, you don’t need to watch us work.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old sealant, and it traps any mould or water underneath. It all has to come out first.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured.
What do you need from me for a quote?
A short description and the location, with photos by email if possible. We will ask anything else we need to know.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. We can plan bigger jobs in stages to suit the site.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We are an ARBOMaster approved applicator, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.
What affects the cost of external mastic
For a quick quote, just ask. The main things that affect it are:
- Whether the work is at height
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Working hours on commercial sites
We don’t show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote and we will talk you through it.
Helping us quote
What to tell us when you ask for a quote:
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
- If someone has resealed it before
- The address or postcode of the job
We do not publish a price list, because every job is different. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To get started, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
What we are called out for in Forest Hill
Weeds, moss and debris in a joint are a sign the sealant has gone. Dirt and roots then trap moisture in the joint.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Weathered mastic that no longer stretches
- Panel joints letting water in
- Cracked joints where brick meets render or frames
- Sealant that has lost its bond to the brick or render
If you live in an older home near Church of St Nicholas, the joints between older walls, newer extensions and the roofline need a sealant that can move.
Before you book anyone
- When the joint can take water or movement
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- Whether you can choose the colour
- Whether they’re fully insured
The process
We work through the job in order: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. Typically it takes a few hours to a few days, depending on the length of joint and the access, and the area is left clean. For a village or hamlet like Forest Hill, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We look at every joint and agree a colour to suit the wall.
- Failed sealant is removed back to clean, sound faces.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Mention any parking rules near the property

Advice
Why act early in Forest Hill
An open joint keeps letting water into the wall with every downpour. In cold weather, frost can damage wet brick and render around the joint, so the damage spreads beyond the joint. Around Forest Hill, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You will know the price before we begin.
