About our external mastic in Hainault
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. If you’re dealing with gaps where render, brick and frames meet and moss and dirt in joints with no sealant left, we can put it right, on render & cladding joints, brickwork movement joints and copings & trims alike.
Homes around Hainault range from older cottages to newer houses, with walls and rooflines of every type. Older homes need their gutter and trim joints kept tight, newer ones their movement joints.

What the job involves on each surface
Render joints
Cracks along render joints let water in behind the coat. A sound joint keeps the render dry behind and protects the render itself.
Cladding and façade panels
If the façade has a specified sealant, that is what we use. Send us any details you have about the façade.
What happens on the day
On the day, we start by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins. The work generally takes a few hours to a few days, depending on the length of joint and the access. In a smaller place like Hainault, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- 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.
- The exterior sealant is applied, tooled and checked along its length.
Before we arrive
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Mention any tricky access

Quotes for external mastic in Hainault
Your quote is based on your job. We take into account:
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- The type of sealant required
- The number and length of the joints
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are unsure, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.

What happens if it’s left?
Water gets in through a failed movement joint and can run behind render or cladding. Dealing with it early keeps the repair to the joint, instead of the wall and finishes around it. Around Hainault, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, and that is a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote and we will talk you through it.

Walls and rooflines in Hainault
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast. Historic houses like Valentines Mansion (about 2.4 miles south-west) are a reminder that the area around Hainault has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older walls and rooflines need a sealant that moves with them and suits the material.
Rented homes near Seven Kings station change hands often, and split movement joints are easy to miss on a rental until damp shows inside. Schools such as Limes Farm Junior School are buildings too, and larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing. In the older streets around St Francis of Assisi, 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, some problems need a different trade:

- Loose or hollow render, which needs re-rendering
- Adding movement joints to masonry that has none

DIY sealant or a professional job?
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
