About our external mastic in Fulwell
Ground-floor and low-level joints are straightforward to reach. For joints higher up, give us some details of the building and we will confirm what’s needed to reach them safely. We are often asked to deal with joints where the bead has come unstuck and cracked joints where brick meets render or frames, across render & cladding joints, brickwork movement joints and joints between brick and frames.
London’s terraces and conversions often share walls, gutters and downpipes with their neighbours, so one failed joint can cause damp for more than one household. In a converted house in Fulwell, it’s worth checking who is responsible for the outside before booking.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, large or small.

When to call us in Fulwell
The wrong product in a moving joint is a classic cause. A stiff, general-purpose sealant can’t cope with a joint that moves a lot, and it tears off the sides.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Failed seals between different materials
- Weathered mastic that no longer stretches
- Leaking joints around cladding and façade panels
- Weeds or debris growing in open joints
As a London address, Fulwell can be tricky for parking: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- How long to leave it before use
- How much experience the applicator has
- Whether you can choose the colour

What we do, step by step
At the end, we look at the finished work together. The work normally takes a few hours for a handful of joints, longer for a whole elevation, depending on the size of the job. In Fulwell, flats, stairs and shared entrances are part of the routine. Mention any building rules, key holders or managing agents when you book.
- We start by walking round the building and agreeing the joints and the access.
- Every bit of old sealant and any mortar or debris is cut out.
- The faces are brushed clean and primed where the product requires it.
- We fit closed-cell backing rod to control the depth.
- We apply the sealant, tool it and check the whole run.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear the area around the work
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

Keeping the joints in good condition
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Have failed joints looked at early
- Look over the joints every year, ideally after winter
- Show decorators and builders where the movement joints are
- Keep soil, plants and ivy away from the joints
Keep pressure washers away from the sealant. High-pressure water can lift the edges over time.
A joint that has stopped moving pushes the movement elsewhere, usually as cracking in the brickwork or render nearby. Resealing it early helps prevent that.
Questions from Fulwell
I let a flat near Fulwell station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Is Fulwell in your area for external mastic?
Yes, Fulwell is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and let us know what needs doing.
Will it make a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. We protect what’s around the joints, and we clear up when we are done.
Should I point up the gap in my brickwork?
No. A mortar-filled joint cannot move, so the movement cracks the wall elsewhere. It needs a flexible sealant over backing rod.

Yes. We’re ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Do I need to be at home?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. Once we’ve agreed the job, you don’t need to watch us work.

How long will you be here?
As a guide, most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the building. Bigger jobs take longer.
External mastic in Fulwell: local notes
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. In terraces and conversions, gutters and walls are often shared with the neighbours, so it’s worth agreeing who is responsible before work starts.
For an older house near a landmark such as St Michael's, older walls, gutters and the joints where extensions meet them need a flexible sealant. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Stanley Primary School, its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s.

Surface by surface
Concrete and blockwork
Blockwork and concrete shrink over time and move with the seasons. We reseal their joints with backing rod and a flexible product.
Render joints
Render is weaker at the surface than brick, so a low-modulus sealant is kinder to the joint edges. Priming is done where the sealant calls for it.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Fulwell
Landlords and letting agents in Fulwell can book us as well as homeowners. Resealing between tenancies keeps a property looking cared for.

Why deal with it now?
Sealing over the top of old mastic doesn’t hold for long. New sealant does not bond well to old, weathered sealant, so the old joint is cut out fully first. Damp from a failed joint spreads quietly in older London brickwork and timber, and once it shows in Fulwell, the repair is bigger than a sealant job.
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part.
